Hi, Carl!
Oh, my...you are going to LOVE your
Fantasmic! Dinner Package at Hollywood & Vine. Whenever we plan on viewing Fantasmic, we try to book a Dinner Package as soon as they are released; it's that good!
Once you enjoy your meal at Hollywood & Vine, your server will give you a dated voucher, good for everyone in your party (don't lose it!). You'll still want to arrive at the VIP entrance early (30-40 minutes) because the VIP seating fills up quite rapidly at times. (Seats are only guaranteed if they are available. Full house? You're out of luck.) Your server will tell you where the VIP entrance is located, and can even show you on a park map if you're at all unsure.
What's great about the VIP seating is that it's all the way down in the front, right side (audience right) of the venue, making for great photos as well as easy exit when the show is finished. We grab an ice cream or a cold beverage on our way in and enjoy the atmosphere of the audience as we wait for the show to start. We also bring our own light-up gadgets, such as glow bracelets, etc., and have fun with those, too. (Nothing says "party" like a photo of my hubby in glow-in-the-dark glasses...)
Have a great night, Carl! Be sure to send more questions as you think of them, too. We love to help!
