Advice on Fantasmic and WOC dining package

[Karen87]

My DH and I are having a last minute trip to DLR in a couple of weeks on May 6-8 (happy dance!) and I really wanted to do the Fantasmic dining package at Blue Bayou, but there is only one slot left at 8:40pm and Fantasmic starts at 9pm, so that's out. We got a reservation at the River Belle Terrace instead, but I just read a pretty bad review of the Fantasmic dining package from there.

We also have a WOC dining package for Ariel's Grotto booked as well. (Note: My DH was not too happy that I wanted to book both - since it's a last minute trip while we are visiting family our budget is tight)

Should I cancel and just book the Aladdin's On the Go package instead? I was willing to pay the money for Blue Bayou, but not $42 each for sub-par food. I also really don't want to go to the later Fantasmic.

Thoughts?

The Blue Bayou package for the 2nd Fantasmic show if available, is the best option even though you don't want to wait for the 2nd show.
The World of Color dining package isn't really needed as you still need to get into the dining section early to get a spot against the rail. You might as well get the regular WOC FP and do the same thing.

Unless you think you're going to get to the park late in the day, there is really very few advantages to the Aladdin's On-the-Go package. You get a regular FP (yellow or blue - CMs didn't seem to know which when I asked last); so there is really no viewing advantage compared to just getting one of the FPs from the machine during the day.

I would keep checking reservation times to see if you can get an earlier one for Blue Bayou.
