Has anyone been able to book Fantasmic package for Sept 22?

[jbeanz2001]

I've been trying to book Fantasmic package for the 22nd but there's the glitch onlin. So I called on my 180 day and the first person I talked to tells me it's booked full. I called back a bit later and was told that it's not even in the system to be booked yet. She told me to try again this past Saturday. I look online, still unable. I just called again and was told it's completely booked. I don't know who to believe here. Just wondering if anyone has been able to get this date. I find it hard to believe all 3 restaurants are booked solid at the 180 date.

I have been trying to book the Fantasmic Package for 9/29 and have been told they are not loaded in the system yet. They told me to keep trying and I have had no luck. I did get a reservation at the restaurant I wanted for the time I wanted but its no the Fantasmic Package.

I agree that is odd. Wonder why it is so crowded that night? I had H&V Fantasmic booked for 9/4/2011. I have also been checking daily for a later time at MM and each day there have been multiple times open for a party of 4 at all three restaurants (both lunch and dinner). In fact I was able to pick up 4:40 at MM today.
My advice is to keep checking. For some reason the only way you can check September online is to key in the date (with the 0 first), it is not posted on the calendar. I know others have had this same problem...including me! I actually did it over the phone the first time, but have been checking online daily for something at MM to open up. Good luck!

Check out this thread...guess others had the same problem, but some people were able to book it last week.

I was able to make a fantasmic package for 9/29/11 at M.M and my parents were able to make one at H&V 9/29/11.

I was able to make a 5:00 reservation at Hollywood & Vine with the Fantasmic package for the 22nd. My 180+10 day was March 22nd. I was at first unable to find the package because it wasn't showing on the calendar but some people on here suggested typing the date in directly and it worked.

I booked for MM for F! on Sept 29.
I find that sometime booking online is much easier with chrome than explorer...

I've been trying everyday for several days for FP on the 22nd. Nothing is showing available at any restaurant for any party size I try. All other Fantasmic dates seem to be working just fine (25th & 29th are the two before & after). Online doesn't work with the 09 trick, and calling doesn't work. There is obviously something going on, whether it's a glitch or what, I don't know.

I know a few people have reported getting them on the 22nd, but if you've been trying and can't you're not alone!

It's very strange. My 180 days out was March 12th and I originally booked a F package for Brown Derby at 5PM on 22nd September a few days after that. I had a choice of times at all three restaurants.

I later switched my days to do fantasmic on the 11th instead and cancelled my package on the 22nd. A couple of days later I thought about switching back and suddenly there was nothing at all available in the space of a couple of days. As it's unlikely every single reservation was booked in two days, I assume they took that day off the system for some reason?

I fear they pulled the packages because Fantasmic won't be happening that day. But if some people were able to book them within that short window of time, hopefully that won't happen. I sure hope it is just a "glitch" they fix soon.

I was able to book Mama Melrose for 9/29 online with Internet Explorer. The calendar is not updated yet for the Fantasmic package if you try to select the date off the calendar (I think it only shows through August or early Sept.) but if you manually type in "09/29/2011" with the 0, it will show up if anything is available.

I wasn't able to book mine online either. Frustrating that the dates don't show up online.

However, after I called disney dining, I was able to get a MamaMelrose for 3:50pm on September 22nd. Earlier than I wanted...but I'll take what I can get.
My reservation details show up in my online listing which is nice too.
