Anyone have luck with a F! package for June 2 or 4?

We have never done F!, it just never seems to fit in with our plans! So, this trip, we really wanted to do it.....it's difficult because of the dinner times being in the 3pm-4pm range....then you have until 8pm or so, until you need to get in line for the show....It's a difficult thing to plan!! Hopefully, we can pick up some fast passes earlier in the day and use them after dinner....we'll see. LOGISTICS!!

Trina, I'm glad you got through and got something! It will be a nice air conditioned break from the parks! Some of our best reservations have been at our 2nd choice restaurants!!!!!! Ya never know until you try it!

I still think they are having techical issues because at first she told me nothing was available at any restuarant and then she came back with the H&V for 3:45... so weird things are still going on... I am going to try for the next couple days and still hope for a Mama Melrose...


We actually were planning on spending that say at AK... so we will have to leave their by 2:30 which honestly is probably fine... but then we will have hours to kill in DHS (we will be there most of the next day too...) I don't know... is F! really worth all this? lol

June 4th at Hollywood and Vine at 3:55pm. That was the only time they had open.

I am on hold for trying to get a party of 4. If I can't, I am going to give up and not try Fantasmic. We will go early to DHS, ride what we want to, and leave. We will get a reservation at one of the other resorts and call it a night. I am trying to get into the mind set that no show is worth this!

Fantasmic is so worth it! On our trip in May, we managed to get the last dinner reservation at Hollywood, but even if we hadn't, we would have still waited an hour or so just to get seats at Fantasmic. It is my FAVORITE and a must see for everyone in my family!

I keep hearing and reading different things. My 6yr old has sensory processing disorder and 2 years ago when we went to Disney, she couldn't be anywhere near the fireworks or loud surprising noises. She is doing better with those auditory and visual problems but I'm still a bit apprehensive for her.

Just booked Fantasmic Package for June 2nd at Mama Melrose @ 3:40.

 

[Trina7020]

Proof to keep calling!

I got Mama Melrose Party of 6 on June 2 @3:30...


odd time to eat, but whatever!


I have never been to F! before... will I have time to say go to DTD after the show or will I just need to hang around the studio? (show is at 9)

 

[amelia1]

Just goes to show that you can never give up calling!

 

[Trina7020]

This was the 3rd time I talked to someone TODAY!!!

The gentleman I talked to this last time said they seemed to have the whole F! package thing sorted out... at least for this week!

 

[Hayloburger]

Yeah Trina!!! I'm so glad you got what you wanted!! I know you have been up early the past few days.

 

[Trina7020]

Thanks! I know...

I am debating calling Wednesday which is the exact 90 day mark and see if they open up any later tables... If not I guess I will enjoy my 3:30 "dinner" !

I heard somewhere (it has to be on these boards) that the F! packages are only from 3:30 - 4:30....does anybody know it that is correct? I would love the latest time, but beggars can't be choosers.

When we made our reservation, the guy helping us seemed surprised that the latest reservation we could possibly get was at 4:50. He didn't understand it, but he couldn't change the computer. LOL. I think, from the way he talked, that we got the latest possible reservation for the F! package. We tried to get the latest time possible and that's what it was.

She is doing better with those auditory and visual problems but I'm still a bit apprehensive for her.

We went last summer, and I don't remember Fantasmic being extremely loud compared to Wishes. At age 4 my dd was scared of Spectro and all fireworks, but at age 6 she loved Fantasmic.

On the other hand, my 2 yo hated it. He spent alot of the show with his head burried and my hands over his ears. He didn't scream, but he didn't want to see it. He is very noise sensitive, so I am considering headphones or ear plugs this year.

It is a super show, but it is a tough call as to whether or not to see it. We are more concerned about the early meal time and possible long waits to see the show. My youngest has a low tolerance for waiting so this should be an interesting vacation overall.

I called 3 times yesterday, 7:00 am no F! pkgs, 2:00 pm nothing available, and 7:00 pm I got a ressie at H&V at 4:00pm for party of 4.

 

[Trina7020]

So I called again today to see if they really did open more tables on the 90 days mark (Only 15 minutes on hold!) and I got a Mama Melrose F! @ 4:25

I am VERY happy with that! All my ressies are done and I am done playing with them!
