1 - would you bother?

2 - if that answer is yes, which restaurant? Mama Melrose or Brown Derby? Okay, or Hollywood and Vine?
 
1. Do you plan to go to F!? The dining package gets good seats and is like a 4th FP.

2. Do you like buffets and Minnie Mouse? That's H&V. MM is the best value. HBD is best food.
 
WE book the Fantasmic sining package when we want to see the show and we always go to Mama Melrose. I think it is a good value on the DDP. I also think the seats are good.
 
We do MM for the F! Dining. We've also eaten at H&V just for dinner and we were not impressed for the price of a buffet.
 

What is the latest dinner you can get at hollywood and vine to get the fantasmic seating? Say if the restaurant last seats at 8pm? sorry to hyjack :-)
thanks

Gosh, I am not sure but I would bet not past 5PM. WE usually have a late lunch, so I never paid too much attention to the later times offered.
 
We have done it both at MM and HBD. But only because we already planned to eat at those places. You can get good seats by arriving 30-45 minutes early.

With or without the package? We have the package booked in May, and I'm trying to figure out what time we need to arrive for the show.
 
Without. Even with the package I would arrive 30 minutes early to get a good seat with the dining package.
 
Definitely a good deal on the dining plan at Mama Melrose since it includes appetizers, even if you don't plan on going to Fantasmic
 
We have done the F! package and just recently went to Mama Melroses in March. The food is good, the appetizers are nice, I just did not like the early meal time. The seating was great! If you are going to be eating a TS meal at HS and are going to F!, I'd do the dining package.

With the package you want to be seated 30 minutes before the show. After that, if they are reaching capacity, they will open the reserved section to general public.
 
Can you get Mama Melrose for lunch with the package?

You can get a lunch time, but the F! package price will be the same. I just checked our date in May, and noon is still available for the package.
 
We've booked the F! Dining Package at Mama Melrose's a couple of times and liked both the food and not needing to rush to get good seats to F! (Well...except last time when I mis-read my watch and we showed up 75mins before the show!! D'oh!!!)

That's fine, we'll just do a quick service/snack for dinner, then.

Thanks!
 
Just reserved fo MM with Fantasmic. Have not done this before. Do you really get an appetizer with your TS meal with this ? I didn't know that.
