Hello Teresa, welcome to planDisney! How exciting that your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is coming up so soon!
It is so exciting that
Fantasmic! has returned to Disneyland Park! From the moment you see Mickey appear on the Rivers of America, it puts the biggest smile on my face! I'm sorry you're having trouble booking a
Fantasmic! Dining Package during your trip. I spoke to a helpful Cast Member, and they let me know that if the dates are crossed out, it indicates that they're fully booked, or there will not be any Fantasmic! shows on those nights.
I'm sure that is not the news you were hoping for, but you could explore the
World of Color Dining Packages as an alternative! It's an exciting show at
Disney California Adventure Park that showcases the wonderful stories of Disney and Pixar films, as well as special scenes from Star Wars and Marvel! The World of Color dining packages are available for a dinner buffet at
Storytellers Cafe or lunch or dinner at
Wine Country Trattoria. Once you arrive for your dining reservation, you can let a Cast Member know that you'd like the World of Color Dining Package. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so I highly recommend trying to get an earlier dining reservation time, whether that's for lunch or dinner. You're able to make your
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance.
I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful visit in September, Teresa! Please
come back to planDisney with any other questions you may have.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
