Hi Mariana!
I'm excited to hear you're planning to see Fantasmic! while visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios, and also that you'll be dining at one of my favorite Walt Disney World Resort restaurants,
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano! Located in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Mama Melrose's serves up some of the most delicious Italian food I've ever tasted. The flatbreads are to die for, and the desserts are amazing. My favorite entree is the Saltimbocca (pork tenderloin). My daughters always choose pasta dishes, and I have yet to try one that wasn't out-of-this-world. On the kids menu, they have a Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcake - a chocolate cupcake with "spaghetti" frosting, a chocolate "meatball" with strawberry "marinara sauce", and white chocolate "cheese"! It's the cutest thing ever!
Mama Melrose's is one of the restaurants guests can choose from as part of a Fantasmic! Dining Package. If you booked your Advance Dining Reservation directly from the Mama Melrose's dining page, it's most likely not part of the dining package. To book the Fantasmic! dining package, you would need to make your reservation by visiting the
Fantasmic! Dining Package page. You don't have to be participating in the Disney Dining Plan to book the dining package. The dining package includes the guest's choice of appetizer, entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage. After your meal, you receive a VIP seating voucher, which guarantees you a seat in a special reserved viewing section for Fantasmic! (standard seating begins 90 minutes before the show, so make sure to arrive early if you don't have a VIP seating voucher from the dining package.)
I hope this helps with your planning! - Diane W.
