Got Fantasmic Dinner Pkg.. a few ??

[kimmie]

Got the Fantasmic at Hollywood & Vine. Seating time is 4:30pm. Its pretty early, but thats what I took. I just wanted to make sure I got a time! Anyway, since we will be there at Easter, and there should be two showings of Fantasmic, which time would be better? The early one (last year 8:30pm) or the later one (10:00pm)?
We are able to choose which show we would like to attend, right?

We can take our time eating and probably make it in plenty of time for the early show. Or we can get fast passes or shop and wait for the late show.

What do you guys suggest?
Thanks

Last April you dinner time determined your show time. They handed out different color entrance tickets for the 8:30 vs the 10pm show.

We are booked at the Brown Derby for 4pm. I am hoping that once park hours come out there will be later seatings available.

Vavasmon, Thank You! I didn't know that! I don't care which one we go to, but since our dinner time is so early I would assume we are seated at the earlier show.
When would you call to see if there is later dinner seating?
Do you wait until the April park hours are listed?
Last year they changed the hours of operations more than once!

Always, always, always, always take the second showing of Fantasmic...it's less crowded.

I agree with QuickGold.
If you are doing the FDP only to avoid the line and you werent planning to eat there in the first place, and you are sure there will be 2 Fantasmics, I wouldnt even bother doing the package.
We were able to walk into the 2nd show(8:30) of Fantasmic on 12/22 under 1/2 hour before the show. We got great seats up front, and by show time the theater still had empty sections.

We always eat at Hollywood & Vine so doing the dinner package is not a big deal. I will take the tickets and get into the early show. I just know that the lines at Easter for either show can be very long. The kids NEVER want to wait in line, so this will be a nice option for us.
