Hiya Mary - welcome to

Fantasmic! Dining Packages at
Disney's Hollywood Studios are such a great option to add to your vacation planning. You'll enjoy a delicious dining experience at one of Hollywood Studios' unique Table Service restaurants and will also have guaranteed seating at a showing of Fantasmic! later that day in a reserved seating area for everyone in your dining party. Fantasmic! can be a very popular nighttime spectacular, so having a dining package can help make the end of your day stress-free knowing your seats are waiting for you!
Mary, I've had the same experience that you are describing and I know other Guests have as well. I can select dates for the next 60 days, but dates in March didn't have any availability loaded yet. While it is possible that packages are already fully reserved for these dates, I think it's more likely that reservations just haven't been loaded into the system yet. Since the exciting return of Fantasmic! a few months ago, there have been tweaks to showtimes, and I think this might be why dining package reservations aren't always loaded at the normal 60-day mark.
I know it's a pain, but I suggest that you and your travel agent continue trying, or you might want to
call and speak to a Cast Member who might be able to provide you with additional insight for the particular date you're hoping for. No matter what, I do recommend booking a backup dining reservation to make sure you have a great meal - you can always experience Fantasmic! without a dining package.
I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, Mary, but that's all the information I can get at the moment.
Please stop by any time with additional questions as you continue your planning journey!
