Hi Sheri!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Fantasmic! is my favorite nighttime spectacular in all of Walt Disney World Resort and you are planning a practically perfect evening by trying to book a dining package to enjoy the show. The viewing area is spectacular and you don't have to worry about reserving your place in a long line to enter!
Sheri, I did a quick check with a friendly Cast Member and can confirm that
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is still available as part of the
Fantasmic! Dining Packages. I love grabbing a bite to eat while watching some classic entertainment at those unique dine-in tables. This dining reservation is incredibly popular on its own, but especially when paired as part of the dining package. I know your dining reservations just opened for your trip, but you are likely not seeing availability due to reservations already filling up.
I would encourage you to keep checking back as plans often change for guests as their arrival window gets closer. I've been fortunate to grab some great last-minute reservations within a week of my arrival date. While it doesn't always happen, it's certainly worth a try! In the meantime though, I can also recommend both
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano and
50's Prime Time Cafe as alternative reservations that may be available for the dining package on your selected evening. We've previously dined at these as part of the dining package and have been pleased with both! If you're looking to bump up the entertainment value of your dining package even more, consider looking at
Hollywood & Vine. This buffet is a character dining experience featuring Disney Junior favorites at breakfast while Minnie and her friends play host at lunch and dinner. It has been a popular stop for my boys on our trips as well and has all three mealtimes available on the dining package!
Sheri, while I know this may not be the news you were hoping to hear, I hope the other recommendations are helpful. Regardless of where you end up dining, I'm sure you will love Fantasmic! and am sending lots of pixie dust for a magical vacation! Please stop by and see me or any of my panelist pals again here at planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Kristi
