Hi Deborah! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question!
Fantasmic! is one of the best shows to catch at the
Walt Disney World Resort! It's whimsical and fun for Guests of all ages to see. With its popularity, seating can be challenging on busy nights at the park. To get a prime viewing location, you'll need to line up early before the show starts or purchase a Fantasmic! Dining Package. By doing so, you'll receive guaranteed seating at the nightly event and be able to sit in a reserved section in the audience.
Advanced Dining Reservations for
Fantasmic! Dining Packages are available to all Guests visiting Walt Disney World. This is the case regardless if you are staying in a Disney Resorts hotel or not. You can begin making Advanced Dining Reservations 60 days before your arrival. However, if you are staying onsite, you can make reservations for the entire length of your stay (up to 10 days) at the 60-day mark. This gives you a small advantage over Guests staying offsite who have to book their reservations each day.
There are several dining locations at Disney's Hollywood Studios that offer Fantasmic! Dining Packages currently. One of my favorites is
50's Prime Time Cafe! It's a unique dining experience that is truly a blast from the past. We typically choose to dine here on many of our trips, but to also get reserved seating for the nighttime spectacular is a double bonus!
Deborah, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney with any future planning questions!
See ya real soon!
