Fantasmic Pkg

[katmigordon]

Is the fantasmic package that comes with sci fi the same as the one that comes with brown derby?

Both give you access to the same seating area at Fantasmic.

Food, price and atmosphere are very different at the locations.

Not sure if that is what the request is?

I heard you can only go to the early show if you use it for say lunch, but we would like to go to the second show. Does which pkg we get affect that? I know sci fi gives you the app or dessert and the entree - do you get both app and dessert at hbd?

Fantasmic package no longer offers the app...just dessert. I don't do it anymore.

I will book the package at Hollywood and Vine if I have the dining plan because it is a great use of a table service credit since the package is $81 for an adult.

I just booked for end of September (first time doing the package) and I booked “dinner” but was still given “first show.” Do they always have two showings of Fantasmic?

No, some nights are 1 show and some nights are 2 shows. But I think the dining package is only for the 1st show regardless. I spot checked trying to book some dates that have 2 shows listed and the package was only available for 1st show, there didn't seem to be an option for 2nd show.

AFAIK the dining packages have always only ever been for the first showtime during nights when there’s two. Bear in mind they don’t always have two shows a night and it’s generally only during busier times of the year.

But tbqh if you are going when they have 2 shows and want to go to the second F! show the dining package is wholly unnecessary. It’s very easy to just roll up right before showtime and get good seats with little effort. The overwhelming majority of guests go to the first show on 2 show nights.

If they allowed that it would be a waste of money. It’s definitely unnecessary for the second show.

So you think we should skp the package, esp in a less busy time like September?

Woah there. I thought you said you wanted the 2nd show so I assumed there was actually a second show for your dates. Check your entertainment calendar. I’m not seeing second show on the schedule for Sept at this time. I’d book the package and then cancel if a second show pops up.

Disney doesn’t run Fantasmic twice when lighter crowds are expected. Despite lighter crowd expectations, the show can still reach capacity.

It's so hard, I used to have some idea what I was doing - then I moved to phoenix and I've been out of the loop for a decade. So I'm in this weird place where I feel like I should know what I'm doing but so much as changed and yet so much is the same and it's all kind of confusing in a way that it wasn't the first time I was learning the ropes.
