Help with ADRs please

[mic_KY_mouses]

I am here again for expert advice. I'm getting up early Thursday to make ADRs for our December 16-23 Parents 50th Anniversary trip. I am a little nervous as we are a group of 10.

First question. If I do the Fantasmic package using Hollywood & Vine what seating time should I request. I believe Fantasmic is at 6:30. Do they seat afterwards?

Second. I am going to request LeCellier for an evening dinner and want to work it so we have options to see the CP while we are at Epcot. I don't want to do the CP package as I hear it takes two TS credits and I don't know if it is worth it. What are your thoughts? I think the CP has a 5:00, 6:45, and 8:15 showing.

Is there any expert advice to help me as the party of 10 is making me nervous? I am used to just the three of us for ADRs and we are pretty flexible. I will be able to make the ressies for all the days on the 17th since I have a reservation, right?

Thanks to any replys.....

I am pretty sure you would qualify for a Grand Gathering. There are some special things you could due there and they will help you with planning. A friend of mine said that the Grand Gathering option for desserts at Epcot really was not worth it. DHS closes after Fantasmic usually. I think you would have to seat before the show. I would think 4-4:30 would be good for a 6:30 show. MIL and I loved the CP....but you can just stand around the back and listen if you do not want to use the credits. I would call and see if you could do a Grand Gathering.

The ADR pages say you have to call for a party of 10 or more.

As for Fantasmic Package, you really don't get to pick a time. The ressie times for the F! pkg are set, and rather early. I think the latest they have for the pkg is around 4pm.

Sorry I can't help with the other question.

Yes, it doesn't look like you can book online for a party of 10. You'll need to call.

They never seat for Fantasmic after the show. It's always at least 2 hours before the show. You won't have any choice for dinner that is any later than 4, 4:30 maybe.
