Hi there Erin, welcome to planDisney!
I'm so sorry you're having difficulty securing a
Fantasmic! Dining Package as well as a
World of Color Dining Package. I did chat with a Cast Member, since I was also not successful in securing a dining reservation for either of those experiences during the dates you mention in September. They let me know that if the dates are crossed off, then it indicates that the dates are already fully booked, or there are no planned shows for those nights.
However, the
entertainment schedule can change all the way up to your trip! I recommend checking the entertainment schedule each week as your trip gets closer to see what entertainment and nighttime spectaculars are available. You'll also be visiting during
Halloween Time! I'm so excited for the return of the
Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular, that could be a great option for you and your family to experience! This spooktacular show features many of our favorite Disney villains, as well as Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's
The Nightmare Before Christmas as the "Master of Scare-omonies!"
I hope this helps answer your question, Erin! If you are still having difficulty, I do recommend connecting with a local travel agent who specializes in trips to the Disneyland Resort to see if they'd be able to assist as well. If we can help with any other questions, please do not hesitate to
come back to planDisney and ask!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
