Ultimately it's a risk- a gamble. I don't think Fantasmic is as likely to be cancelled as fireworks but tech issues and weather do happen. There is a chance it doesn't show and you will lose the money if Fantasmic doesn't show. You agreed to accept that risk when you booked it in the disclosures and info somewhere. If it's not worth the risk to you, cancel.
Ooh- good point! I hadn't analyzed it like that, but I very much agree with you!
I was just thinking the same thing. Our dining package is booked for Tuesday and that's a lot of money for a cancelled show.
I just double checked the website and it says no refunds even if the show is cancelled. I'm starting to reconsider my reservation.
I believe you can cancel reservations until 24 hours before. I guess I need to pay attention and be asking next week if there are cancelled shows.
Agreed. They'll have some angry guests to deal with so I hope they'd try to rectify it somehow.
Exactly. If Sunday and/or Monday are cancelled, I'm thinking I'll cancel for Tuesday.I believe you can cancel reservations until 24 hours before. I guess I need to pay attention and be asking next week if there are cancelled shows.
The dining package for Fantasmic is for a better section. I would probably not be happy with a Fantasmic FP for guest recovery, as it's pretty easy to just get one yourself the next day. I would be looking for some ride fastpasses.
Did you receive a regular FP or a FP for the dining section you'd paid for?
It was a hand written pass for the special dining package section. I informed the cast member handing them out that we would be leaving the following day (it was the last day our AP's were valid before the Christmas blackout) and asked if there was anything else they might be able to do for us. They told us there was nothing they could do but if we stopped by guest relations on the way out they might be able to do something. It was late, we were tired and as I mentioned, we were headed home the next morning so I didn't bother.
At least they're offering a FP for the section you paid for. Too bad you weren't able to use it. I have the River Belle Terrace premium seating package booked so I'm doubtful that they'd be able to provide that for me but at least if I could get a FP to the River Belle seating area instead of a regular FP that would be something.
Wow how many times has Murphy not come out now? That's a bit worrisome. But, as a PP said, once it moves to weekends only in Sept, hopefully these kinks will be worked out.
