Hi there, Casey! I’m sending you a delightfully warm California welcome to planDisney!
How wonderful that you’re planning to enjoy
Fantasmic! during your upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resort. That breathtaking nighttime spectacular along the Rivers of America is such a classic way to end a magical day.
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante’s
Fantasmic! Dining Package is indeed an awesome way to enjoy the show! From what I can see, both the first and second performances are planned for your date. If you’re only seeing the second show available when booking, it likely means the first performance has already reached capacity. These packages are very popular, so the earliest reservations tend to go quickly.
That said, don’t lose hope, Casey! Plans change often, and Guests cancel or modify reservations regularly. I’d recommend checking back frequently—sometimes availability for that first showing reappears like magic. And if you do secure the second showing, it’s always worth asking a friendly Cast Member at the restaurant during your dining reservation if any first-show vouchers happen to be available. You never know when pixie dust might be sprinkled your way!
No matter which performance you attend, you’ll be treated to Mickey’s unforgettable journey through dreams and imagination. With the dining package, you’ll even have a tasty meal to enjoy, which makes the whole day feel like a celebration.
You’re also arriving at the perfect time, Casey! Since your visit falls during
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, you’ll be surrounded by even more wonder! Stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. beneath twinkling garlands and take in the spectacularly-adorned Christmas tree, enjoy festive attractions like
“it’s a small world” Holiday and
Haunted Mansion Holiday, and don’t miss the heartwarming
A Christmas Fantasy Parade—Santa’s reindeer are my favorite! Over at
Disney California Adventure Park, the
Disney Festival of Holidays will be in full swing with multicultural music, live performances, and the delicious
Festive Food Marketplace. It’s truly the most magical time of the year to celebrate at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Casey, I’m wishing upon a star that you’ll get to experience both Fantasmic! and the magic of the holidays during your upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resort!
See ya real soon!
Cody
