Hiya, Ricki!
Welcome back to planDisney and thanks for returning with another wonderful
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. I'm thrilled to hear you're planning another exciting visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Ricki, I'm here to help you understand what's included in the
Disney Dining Plan and prepare for a vacation
beyond your wildest imagination.
Fantasmic! is my family's favorite nighttime spectacular at the Walt Disney World Resort. This dazzling evening show at
Disney's Hollywood Studios features stunning visual effects, a rousing chorus, and a memorable finale! Not to mention, it offers amphitheater seating - a welcome respite at the end of an exciting day in the theme parks! Ricki, a
Fantasmic! Dining Package is the perfect way to enjoy a delicious meal at Disney's Hollywood Studios while guaranteeing reserved seating at that evening's show. Unfortunately, dining plan credits are not accepted for
dining events like the Fantasmic! Dining Package. However, the Disney Dining Plan is accepted at
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, so you could redeem one table-service credit for one entree, one dessert, and one nonalcoholic (or alcoholic, for Guests age 21 and older) beverage at that location. After your meal, you could head to Fantasmic! to journey into Mickey Mouse's imagination!
Ricki, if you'd prefer to guarantee seating at the nighttime spectacular, you can't go wrong with a Fantasmic! Dining Package. You're welcome to purchase the dining package separately while still using the Disney Dining Plan! Doing so would allow you to enjoy your 'extra' table-service credit elsewhere. If you'd be interested in two table-service meals during your day at Disney's Hollywood Studios, an abundance of great options are available to you. For example, my family recently enjoyed lunch at
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant and had an awesome time! The ambiance and atmosphere inside the restaurant were completely immersive, and we loved our meals.
The Hollywood Brown Derby is another popular, but slightly more upscale, option.
I hope you've found this information helpful, Ricki. I'd like to wish you a magical vacation filled with
fantastic dreams! If you have any additional planning questions, feel free to return to
planDisney again anytime. We're here to help you have a
Fantasmic! time at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Some imagination, huh?
