1st time making ADR's-Fantasmic Package/general reservation questions

[Newbie123]

Hello! I've been reading posts on this board and it's been very helpful in trying to figure out this whole reservations system, and what to prioritize. I can call in this week for my ADR's and I have a few questions:

1. If I want to try to get a Fantasmic package for Mama Melrose's, is there something special that I need to click on on the site to indicate that it's the package?

2. Online vs. calling--what is your preference? Are you more likely to get the reservations you want with one vs. the other? (we're really hoping for dinner at BOG--along with everyone else, I know!)

3. My youngest will be under 3, do I need to include him in the total number that I give them, or does he not count at all since he's not on the plan?

Thanks so much for the help!

1. Yes, choose the fantasmic! dining package, then choose mama melrose.

2. I like online, but it's iffy lately. Go for everything online at 6:00. If there are issues with the website, you'll be up and ready to call at 7:00.

3. Yes, everyone counts.

Thank you for the help! One more follow up, I logged onto the site and pulled up my reservations, then went through as if I was making one for September just to familiarize myself with the process. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I still don't see an option for Fantasmic? When you click on "dining experiences", it's not listed there.

I didn't realize the online reservations open up at 6, that's good to know! And I have to log in through the old site for that, right? I think I remember a post about not being able to do the +10 days on the new site?

Here's a link to the dining package...

Yes, many people (myself included) have had better luck logging into the old website. But it's anybody's guess what will or will not be working when you try. Good Luck!!!
