Welcome, Carolyn!
Thank you so much for sending this terrific Disneyland Resort vacation planning question to us hEAR at planDisney!
Oh, I love
Fantasmic! so much. The music, the costume, Mickey's most magical moments - it all works for me. I haven't seen it since it came back yet, but I know I'll be crying when I do. And I love the
Fantasmic! Dining Packages, too! I love knowing that I have a reservation for both a delicious meal and a Fantasmic! viewing section in one swoop.
Dining Packages at River Belle Terrace are a bit different than booking a dining package reservation at other venues; instead of booking the whole package now, what you're going to do is
book a regular lunch or dinner dining reservation at River Belle Terrace in Disneyland Park, for whatever time you wish, and then on the day that you dine you'll add-on the dining package; kind of like a souvenEAR cup somewhere else, except better because the ticket isn't as cumbersome to carry around for the rest of the day. I've hEARd that you're supposed to tell either the host at the check-in stand or your server that you'd like to add this option, but I'm that person who'd tell the host, the server, the chef, the chef at the dining location around the corner, etc.
Bonus Tip: If you end up getting a dinner reservation and you're worried that the passes might sell out before it's your time to dine, you're more than welcome to swing by
River Belle Terrace earlier in the day and let the host know that you'd like to add a dining package to your later-that-day reservation.
I hope that this helped to clEAR up your question, Carolyn, and I hope that you're able to find a River Belle Terrace dining reservation that works for you! Be sure to follow the
