How does Fantasmic work with DDP?

[kandb]

We will have the DDP for our upcoming trip in December. I would like to do Fantasmic one night. Do we need special tickets for Fantasmic or are they included with admission to MGM? If your on the dining plan can you pick any restaurant that night or only special ones. Thanks, Linda

If you're arriving before Christmas, I don't think you'll have a problem finding good seats (included w/park admission) without the plan.

It's mostly just a chance to get reserved seating.
