Booking Fantasmic Dinner Package at Hollywood Brown Derby

[Masonmj84]

If I'm hoping to attend the 6:30 show what's the latest I can comfortably book dinner (the restaurant opens for dinner at 3:30)?

Also, I've noticed that if I try to book on-line, they always only show a lunch time being available but NEVER a dinner time? Is this typical and will I have a better chance of getting a dinner time if I call?

Thanks in advance.

With a 6:30 Fantasmic! show I'd say no later than 4. I would probably opt for 3:30, but always like to give myself a little extra time just in case HBD is running late, figure about 90 minutes for the 3 course meal, then time to get over to the amphitheater.

HBD has the same menu all day and the price of the F!DP doesn't change so it really doesn't matter whether you choose "lunch" or "dinner" time.

The online system seems to have problems with the F!DP. People have reported being able to get later times if they call. We noticed that online they were only offering earlier times right now. Eventually they'll probably get everything loaded into the system.

When we did the F! package at HBD, we arrived 10 minutes prior to our ADR and waited 25 minutes past our ADR time. They were busy! But this was back in the days of F! being shown 2-3 times per week. I would assume it would be less crazy now. Anyway, our ADR was for 5 pm on a night that F! was showing at 8:00 pm. By the time they sat us down, we ate our 3 courses, drank our bottle of wine, and made it to the F! entrance, we arrived about 30-35 minutes before F! So, I would definitely book at least 3 hours prior. HTH!
