Hi, Chanh! Thanks for visiting us at planDisney with your great question about the Fantasmic! Dining Package. For someone who never misses seeing Mickey Mouse battling evil on the Rivers of America when I'm at Disneyland Resort, it's nice to know I have a special viewing spot waiting for me. I love that you're dreaming a fantastic dream about Fantasmic! too!
I spoke with a friendly Cast Member to confirm that, for the
Cafe Orleans dining location, the only way to make a reservation for the
Fantasmic! Dining Package is in person at check in. Upon arrival for your dining experience at Cafe Orleans, you'll let your server know you would like the Fantasmic! Premium Dining Package and, when you are given your check at the end of your meal, they will provide you with a voucher to return for that night's show to view from a designated spot along the Rivers of America. Based on your dining reservation time of 8pm, my guess is you will be given a voucher for the 10:30pm performance of Fantasmic!. But that's just a guess, Chanh, as it is subject to availability.
Another option, if you're concerned about availability for the dining package and you'll be in the parks on another day, Chanh, is to
make a "back up" dining reservation at Cafe Orleans for earlier in the day or at another location, like
Rancho Del Zocalo - which, in my opinion, is a great value for the Fantasmic! Dining Package. Just make sure you cancel any dining reservation you don't end up needing before the designated period so as not to incur a cancellation fee! Most table service restaurants will allow you to cancel without penalty at least 2 hours prior to your reservation.
Fantasmic! Dining Package Tip: When you arrive to your designated viewing spot for the show, be aware that you will be asked to sit for the entirety of the performance. I recommend bringing a small travel blanket, so you have a nice little place to relax.
Chanh, I'm thrilled you'll be in the Happiest Place on Earth so soon cheering on our Sorcerer Mickey! Get ready for a journey beyond your wildest imagination!
Warmest wishes,
McCayla
