Fantasmic! dining in November

[nervous1sttimer]

I really, really want a Fantasmic dining ADR for November 9th - I don't even care which restaurant! How likely is it that something will come available between now and then? It is hard for me to change my other ADRs around knowing that I really want this one more but might not get it.

I see openings right now, unless your party is more than 4.

I also found availability for all 3 restaurants that participate in the Fantasmic! Dining Package for Nov. 9th. On the res page it says the show is at 6:30 and the available times for a party of 4 varied between 12:20 to 3:40, but there were 7 different times offered. You have to reserve the "Fantasmic Dining Package" and not just a reservation at one of the restaurants. Here's a link to the F!DP res page:

The F!DP is a fixed price which varies depending on the restaurant. For Mama Melrose and Hollywood Brown Derby you will get an appetizer, entree, dessert and non alcoholic beverage which you choose from the menu. Hollywood & Vine is a buffet.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I wanted a reservation where we would be able to see the 6:30pm performance. We wouldn't be able to make any of the afternoon times that are currently available.''

ETA - maybe I don't properly understand what the package is? I thought it was the fixed dining menu as mentioned above, but also specifically to provide great viewing for Fantasmic. Are there seats for the dining package where you can view Fantasmic over dinner?

I don't understand. You don't see the show at dinner. You eat earlier, and get reserved seating tickets for the show.

The show is in an amphitheater at 6:30 on Nov 9. It is not a "watch Fantasmic while you eat at a restaurant" arrangement. You choose one of the 3 restaurants to eat at during the afternoon. When you book the Fantasmic Dining Package you will get a voucher for your group to view Fantasmic at 6:30.

Here's a comprehensive explanation of the show and dining package:

Ohhh, I see. Thanks very much for clarifying! We fly into MCO at 2:40pm and want to catch the 6:30 show of Fantasmic! - My kids will also be starving by the time we get to HS and I thought being able to eat and watch at the same time would kill two birds with one stone, not to mention having reserved upfront seats. Oh well!
