Hi Susan, welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of my family’s favorite Park. We love their attractions and shows. And Fantasmic!, its fireworks spectacle is absolutely a” must-do” while at WDW.
Depending on the time of year you are going there, you should consider to book Fastpass+ for your favorite shows and attractions, especially if you are going during Holidays season. I was there with my family last week and we didn’t have any trouble to watch the shows without FastPass+. The only show I had booked FastPass+ in advance was For the first time in Forever: A Frozen sing along celebration, because it is my daughter’s favorite one and I wanted to make sure she would see it. But, for attractions like Toy Story Midway Mania!, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock’n Roller Coaster, I highly recommend you book your Fastpass+ in advance. They can get very busy with long lines.
For watching Fantasmic! I usually prefer booking the
Fantasmic! Dinner Package. You can choose the restaurant of your preference and automatically your VIP spot at the spectacular nighttime show you be reserved.
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano is always my first choice, delicious food!
Hope this information helps your planning. Let us know if you have further questions.
Have a wonderful day!
Gina V.
