Hiya Tasha and Welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy that you stopped by and asked this great question!
How exciting that your vacation at The Happiest Place on Earth is less than two months away! Let's talk about your options for enjoying great food and getting to see
Fantasmic! It's good that you have a reservation to dine at the iconic
Blue Bayou Restaurant! This is a popular dining location and it can be very hard to get an
advanced dining reservation, so I would highly recommend keeping it! With that said, it is important to know the availability of
Fantasmic! Dining Packages is limited. While you can ask to upgrade your dining experience to include the Fantasmic! dining menu with vouchers, that might not be an option. It never hurts to ask though! If that is not an available option, you can likely still see Fantasmic! with a great view.
This summer, I spoke to a Cast Member and discovered that there is an area available to guests without vouchers for a reserved viewing spot. If you go to the stairs, across from the
Haunted Mansion, by the Rivers of America, there is a viewing area where you must sit on the ground. It was an amazing view of Mickey's imagination and one of the best I have ever had! I would suggest arriving at least 45 minutes before the show starts to get a great viewing spot.
I'm so excited for you to arrive at the
Disneyland Resort and I'm wishing you a magical vacation filled with many special memories! If you have more planning questions before you arrive, we would love to help you at
planDisney!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
