Fantasmic Dinner Pkg or FP+? Which should I do?

[dphie28]

1 month and 1 day from today we will be at DHS and I am trying to figure out what is the better way to get in to the arena for Fantasmic?

I have an ADR for Hollywood and Vine with the Fantasmic Dinner Package...and I have an ADR for Mama Melrose. I added Fantasmic to FP+ and my arrival time is 6:55-7:15 for a 7:30pm show. Is that enough time? What would seating be like?

We have always done the Dinner Package and have never gone in the regular line. What would you do?

Someone had posted a photo and it seems like the FP+ and the package are in the same area. We have done the F! twice but we will try the FP+ this trip.

Had the DDP on previous trips but not on this one - DD is now a Disney "adult" but she does not eat like one so it would be a waste. Trying 50's this time (did MM and BD for the F! packages).

We had a similar quandary a couple of weeks ago. Are you on the DDP? If so, I would recommend keeping the F! DP and save the FP+ for other attractions you might want to get. If not on DDP, then I would say go with the FP+ and get your eats elsewhere (we were looking at 50's prime time ADR instead), save some $$. As PP mentioned, it looks like the seating areas are right next to each other.

Oh, and we decided to keep out MM FP! DP (lunch ADR) and get 3 other FP+.

We are on the DDP. I think we are going to stick with the F! DP. I would rather not eat buffet..but nothing else is available. Thanks for the help
