Fantasmic Buffet - When To Call???

[djmatthews]

Hello All

I will be visitng Disneyland on the 19th\20th\21st of October. On the 21st I we want to see Fantasmic and have the dessert buffet. Can anyone tell me what day I need to call and what time. Also, which showing is better the 9:00pm or 10:30 pm.

Many Thanks.

You call exactly 30 days out. The number is 714-781-4400. Both shows are identical, its just a matter of preference of time and what you can get tickets for. I think sometimes after the early show they might let you stay there to watch the fireworks, although I think the new fireworks show is best to see from the hub area. There are only 20 seats up in the balcony so they sell out quickly. They have more seats for a bit cheaper near the water. I think the ohone lines open at either 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. pacific time. This is a lot of fun, we really enjoyed it. It makes seeing Fantasmic any other way tough!

Thanks for your quick response.

Does anybody kow the International number (if there is one) also, does the 30 day rule include the actual performance day within the 30?

There is no international number that I know. You need to call on the day w/the same number. For instance, if you want to see the show on the 21st, then you need to call the prior month on the 21st, and you need to call at 8am -- if you can do it, start calling about a minute or 30 seconds before.

Good luck.

There is a sticky at the top of this board: "Disneyland Resort FAQ's". It has a link to info on the Fantasmic Dessert Buffet. The price is $53 a person. There are 20 seats up on the balcony, directly across from the Rivers of America. It is a wonderful, unobstructed view of the show. You get an all you can eat dessert buffet. I think they had cheesecake, a chocolate torte, cheese and crackers, fruit, some pastries and cream puffs and probably more but I can't remember. You also get unlimited sodas, coffee, hot chocolate and tea. There are also some reserved seats (more of those) down by the water. You buy tickets for that seating as well and arrive and sit wherever you can/want within that area. You get a boxed dessert for that. I have not done that one personally.

You need to call exactly 30 days out beginning at 8:00 a.m. pacific time. Look on that link for more info, that's about all remember off the top of my head. While it is pretty pricey, we have done this twice and felt it was worth it to see Fantasmic! in such a premium location. Oh, and you are charged for the tickets at the time of booking.

Hope this helps!

do what we did. We showed up at 9:40 for the 10:30 show at the Riverbelle Terrace. We waited until the CM's cleaned the area and opened the outdoor seating area. We got the table of our choice to sit and watch Fantasmic. In fact, the CM was nice enough to tell us which table had the best view. We sent 1-2 from our party to buy desserts from RBT ( they were delicious!) and sat, relaxed, ate and chatted until the show started. We had a perfect view, elevated above the people standing on the walkways, and the desserts cost us about $25.00 (there were 6 of us). It would have cost us OVER $300.00 to get balcony seating, and I think this was just as good!
But, when you show up at RBT... go in the door that is near Tarzans Treehouse, and the CM's will lead you to the door on the opposite side of the room that leads to the outdoor seating area. They let us in before opening the outdoor seating to people waiting outside the opposite door. We had asked about this earlier, and the CM told us to be at that specific door.

Is the lower RBT area also a reserved pay in advance deal?

RBt is not reserved, and you really don't have to even make a purchase. But we always do, it's a perfect time to have a snack and review our day. We really enjoy our down time while we wait for the show to start. We talk and laugh about all the fun things we have done that day!
