Fantasmic Thread!

I know that was the case for a bit there, but Cafe Orleans dining packages have been available for reservations for I think about the last year? I can still see reservations available for CO dining packages through April 11th, but then after that date they are gone (but CO still has regular dining reservations open past that so it's not the restaurant undergoing a refurb or anything like that).

I have a reservation for Cafe Orleans Fantasmic dining package for April 24th. Perhaps they are all sold out?

Are there any dining packages where you actually sit and eat while you watch the show?

I have RDZ reservations for next week, but I can't decide if I want to invest the time to see F! in it's current state, on a short 2-day trip. Ack! What to do...what to do? I have up until 2 hours before my reservation to cancel, correct?

I think it depends how many rides you’re hoping to get in. If you’re trying to ride everything (bigger, more popular), then I would skip F!

The RBT Premium allows you to sit on the patio to watch the show. But you don't actually eat while you watch the show, in fact the clear all the dishes about 15 - 20 minutes before the beginning of the show.

I can understand why they would do that so they can start cleaning up for the night, but it would sure be nice if Disney's actions matched their words. Their own description of the premium package mentions eating "while enjoying" Fantasmic, not "before enjoying" the show.

Definitely good to know!!

Agreed, it sounded like you sit down to eat just before the show starts.
Probably just as well, as long as you can just stay seated, but it does mean a full meals worth of time, and then the show so a little bit longer than I was thinking.

The dining package description actually says, “With a premium dining package, delight in a delicious meal then stay to enjoy the evening’s first performance of Fantasmic! right from your table on the outdoor terrace.”

On Disney’s website it says you’re seated at 7:15pm, so quite a bit of time before the show starts.
