Making Reservations
The Fantasmic! Dinner Package Package includes a meal reservation plus a Fantasmic! reserved seating pass. Currently the Fantasmic Package is offered at 5 restaurants: 50’s Prime Time Cafe, Hollywood Brown Derby, Mama Melrose, Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant and Hollywood & Vine.
Breakfast times for the dining portion of the packages generally run from park opening until 11:00 a.m., lunch times for packages are from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. and dinner times are from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 pm.
While there is no additional charge beyond buying your meal for the package, you must guarantee it with a credit card when reserving. Your card is not charged at the time of reserving, but a $10 cancellation fee will be applied to your card if the package is not canceled at least 48 hours prior to restaurant seating time. After dining, pay for your meal with cash, credit card, gift card, or room charge. Call (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463) up to 60 days in advance to make Advance Dining Reservations. The Fantasmic! Dining Package is also available to book through Disney’s Online Reservation System. Fantasmic! Dining Packages are popular and must be booked in advance. It’s best to reserve one as soon as your 60-day booking window opens up.
How It Works
Arrive at your selected restaurant and dine. You will be given a special pass after your meal that will admit you to the reserved seating section in the Fantasmic! amphitheater. There is no charge for this pass and charges apply only to your pre-priced dinner. At least 25 minutes before show time, enter the theater with your pass and a cast member will direct you to the reserved seating section. If you enter later than 25 minutes before show time, you may lose your reserve seating as extra seating in this section is then offered to the general public.
Note: In the event of a show cancelation due to inclement weather, guaranteed seating will be made available for an alternative performance within five days of the date you were originally scheduled to attend. Valid theme park admission is required. You will, however, still dine on the scheduled day and time.
Fantasmic! Dining Packages can be added during peak season nights. Walt Disney World Dining will be able to give you times for Fantasmic! up to 60 days in advance. You can also check the Times Guide at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park for schedule and show times. Seating begins 90 minutes prior to show times. If more than one showing is offered, you generally do not need to purchase a Fantasmic! Dining Package to ensure seating as there is usually plenty of availability at the later shows. If there are two shows and you choose to purchase a dining package, your tickets will be for the earlier showing.

Additional Information
Fantasmic! Dining Package Guests enter on Sunset Boulevard near the Beauty and the Beast theater up to 90 minutes prior to the show. Once inside the amphitheater, show your pass and a cast member will direct you to reserve seating.
The Reserved Seating Section for the Fantasmic! Dining Package is located in the Mickey and Scar sections which are the middle two sections of the theater. Because of the design of this theater, with action taking place on a 50-foot-tall mountain in the middle of the stage, there really are no “bad” seats for this show, although the far left or right can be less than optimal.
Seating is outdoors and shows are not always canceled because of rain. In the case of lightning and heavy prolonged rain, the show may be canceled or delayed, even after being admitted to the theater. Cancellation decisions are often made based on the latest weather bureau information and at the last minute. Bring a poncho when the weather is in doubt.
If you sit in the first few rows, you may get wet from special water effects.
Refreshments and restrooms are located at the rear of the theater. Additionally, vendors selling refreshments circulate prior to the show. Cast Members often entertain guest prior to show with a variety of crowd activities.
