F! package hard to get

[mommyof3princess27]

why is a Fantasmic package so hard to get on my DHS days this time!

 

[jsf1975]

I booked the Fantasmic pkg 180 days out. Are you trying to book lunch or dinner? It seems that I could only get availability for lunch. Also, I'm not sure that it matters too much with being able to get a FP+ for Fantasmic. Unfortunately if you book a FP+ you one be able to get another until after Fantasmic.

i have dinner booked and need to switch it to lunch.

I think the difficulty is the limited hours it is available. For our recent trip the latest time you could book was 5:30, that really limits the number of ADRs they can offer.

i have a 3:55 HBD which i thought i wanted but now i am looking for a lunch adr and its proving to be challenging!!!

I haven't had much luck with my days either. Is the fantasmic package really worth it?

If you are trying to get a lunch Fantasmic package for your trip next month it might be because you are close to your trip and they are all booked. You'll have to keep checking online to see if anyone cancels. Be sure you are checking for the package and not just a regular dining reservation. You could also try checking for MM to expand your options. Also, there's a cancellation thread for October on the Dining Reservations board that you could subscribe to.

I'm going the first week of December and so far MM is the only dining option for Fantasmic that's being offered. And it's all booked up so far. BD and HV show as no times being offered. I passed up a lunch opening earlier this week and could kick myself. I had seen so many "no tables available" that when an actual time popped up I hit the wrong button and lost it.

A lot of the reservation days for the Fantasmic Dining Package in November and December have not been posted on the reservation site for Hollywood Brown Derby or Hollywood and Vine. When I called Disney, they told me it was up to the restaurant when they will post them. If you look on the website, it has no times available and you cannot even book them. I got a miracle Mama Melrose's FDP reservation as they are the only one that you can book right now from October 31-January 4. It is extremely frustrating. I would try to call Disney Dining. We had better luck through them.

Thanks! Unfortunately, Mama Melrose is where we want to eat. I've still got a couple of months to go so there's still time hopefully to get what we want.

Just called Disney Dining and scored a Fantasmic Dinner Package for 12/2. I asked my daughter where she wanted to eat and she had changed her mind to Brown Derby. So we have a lunch reservation at 2:05 at BD for a 6:30 F!.

HBD has had several openings for last month by phone, even when MDE says not available. This is how I booked mine. But I keep checking for MM. I love HBD, but not the 2 credits on DDP.
