Hello there Wendy, and welcome to planDisney!
You are correct, performances of
Fantasmic! are currently paused. The safety of Guests and Cast Members is of the utmost importance, and we are all hoping that the show will be back soon!
My recommendation would be to go ahead and
book dining reservations for your trip since you can start making them 60 days in advance. When the
Fantasmic! Dining Packages become available again, you can cancel your dining reservation for that day, and then book your Fantasmic! Dining Package. I would keep checking the availability of the dining packages on the
Disneyland site or
Disneyland app, and keep an eye on the
Entertainment Schedule as well. I'm really crossing my fingers that it is back on the schedule soon!
While we are talking Fantasmic! Dining Packages, my family's favorite is
Blue Bayou Restaurant. We always have a delicious meal here, and you truly cannot beat the ambiance and the Pirates of the Caribbean boats floating by while you enjoy your dinner. The access to the reserved seating area for the dining packages is always worth it for my family as well, that way we do not have to line up an hour or so before to get a good seat!
I hope this information was helpful for you Wendy, and if I can help with any other questions please come back and ask!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
