a few different ?'s tax fantasmic and kids dp

[memakwed]

Ok so i'm 30 days out from our trip. I'm going to be asking lots of questions but as i'm going over menus and figuring out what tip money we'll need these questions hhave popped into my head.

info would be great.

1. We've done fantasmic many times before with the last time 2 1/2 years ago. My mind just can't remember is there a different menu for the fantasmic pack? I know on the DP even though we do not usually get an app we would with this. Does that still happen? We're going to Mama Melrose.

2. What is the tax % down there for restaurants?

3. Can I pay OOP for one of my child's meals if we( the adults) are using DP? My thought OOP at Planet Hollyood is cheaper than OOP for breakfast at chef Mickeys for my child. Then at Chef mickeys I would pay OOP for us adults at CM. I just noticed the price variable and wondered. The price difference isn't going to break the bank either way.

4. CRT We have 840 ADR's on 8/30. We don't eat this late. Will we feel rushed out since MK closes at 9? Will the atmosphere still be enjoyable that late in the game and can you see fireworks from inside the restaurant? Tip is already included since it is pd. in advance?
will we need to take a taxi back to the hotel or can we still get bus service?

i'll post more questions as they come up. TIA

2. 6.5%

3. Yes

4. Tip is included. There will still be transportation when you are done eating. I don't think you will be rushed. I don't think there is a good view of the fireworks from in the castle.

At Mama Melrose you order from the same menu as everyone else for lunch/dinner. Appetizer, entree, drink(soda, juice, milk), dessert are all included.

I have our pictures of our entrees, desserts and appetizer here if you would like to see them from our last trip report in June.

Hope this helps some.

1. Fantasmic Dinner package is a fixed price meal. You get an appetizer, entree, dessert and a non-alcoholic beverage. You order from the regular menu.

2. 6.5%

3. Yes, you can do that.

4. You can see some of the fireworks, but it is not the best view. They do dim the lights. I recommend seeing them from Main Street on another night so you can fully appreciate them. We had a late dinner also and didn't feel rushed. The buses run at least 1 hour after the park closing, but more likely longer since the stores on Main Street stay open an hour after closing as well. You won't be stranded.

As the PP indicated, the view of the fireworks from inside CRT is limited, but it was a lot of fun to see the show from a different perspective.
