Hi, Michael!
We always bring food into
Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios; it's a great way to pass the time as Guests wait for the show to begin and allows us to feel as if we are maximizing our time, too.
Be sure to arrange for your pick-up early enough to be at Fantasmic! about 45 minutes prior to showtime. Keep in mind, too, that there may be a bit of a line in front of you at Min and Bill's Dockside Diner, so allow time for that. In addition, lots of other Guests will be making their way over to the show, too, so traffic in that area will pick up as showtime approaches. Your seating is reserved for Guests with VIP seating, via the Fantasmic! Dining Package, but it is only available on a first-come, first-served basis. As such, we always get there early enough to be sure to get great seats. Bottom line? Don't cut your time too short between arrival at the restaurant and arrival at the entrance to Fantasmic!
Once you're in and settled, you can enjoy the celebratory atmosphere of the crowd while enjoying your meal too. Sit down and relax...a phenomenal show is coming your way!
Send more questions as you think of them, Michael; we love to help!
