Mama Melrose Fantasmic Dinner Package ?

[deanna2426]

I know the Fantasmic package includes salad, flatbread, entree and dessert. However, I am wondering if you are able to choose your entree and dessert from the regular menu or if there is a special menu?

Thanks for any info!

We went in August 2003 and you could choose from the regular menu. Tried H&V last summer and wished we were back at Mama Melrose's. I had the steak at MM and it was excellent. THis year I'm trying to HBD for the Fantasmic Dinner Package.

we went earlier this month & didn't like it. the service was slow & the entrees were not that great. it was our most expensive meal of the trip...yes, we did pay extra for the package, BUT we had the DDE card & the waiter would not honor it. now i find out that he should have! ugh. we going to go to HV next time.

You definitely get your choice of any entree(I loved both, the chicken parm with pasta & the penne alla vodka...yummy!). However for dessert, once we were given a choice of only the cheesecake or tiramisu, and once we were given a choice of any dessert. I dont know if it depends on who you have as a waiter, or if they changed the procedure, or what, but we have had 2 different experiences.
Enjoy your meal. MM is one of our favorite WDW restaurants. We will be dining there for the 9th time in July and I cant wait.

We ate there a couple of years ago and really liked it. So, I thought we would try it again on our next trip!

I am very excited b/c I love Penne alla Vodka and Chicken Parm and I was hoping the cheesecake was included!!!

Thanks for your replies!

We ended up with MM for our next trip too...Brown Derby was booked and we weren't impressed with H&V on our last trip. Hoping MM will be as excellent as most say it is!

We went a few years ago. The server was surly and not at all helpful, the food was pretty poor and it was expensive. None of the family enjoyed it. Added to that the seats are on the right hand corner of the amphitheater.
Our view was poor. Now we just skip the dinner and go early so that we can sit in the center - much better!
I realise that isnt always an option for families with young kids, but sorry, I cant recommend Mama Melrose.

The comment about the seats being on the side are important if this is your first viewing of Fantasmic. I must say, after seeing lots of times from the middle, I liked the change of view....but your first time seeing it, really should be in the center to get the full effect! Having said that, it is really nice not having to wait with the package.

I wouldn't do Fantasmic without the package,can't stand wasting time waiting in lines. The seating is fine,maybe we don't know any better because we never sat in the middle. We have done all three packages and Mama Melrose's hands down is the best!!! The salad and bread were terrific,you can choose your flatbread and pick your entree and dessert. This is alot of food so go hungry!!! Since we had 5 in our family we got two flatbreads-YUMMMMMM!!!!! It is a bit pricey but we loved it and it is a must do every trip!!!! Get the steak....very good!!!!

I agree that I wouldn't want to do Fantasmic without the pkg. We did H&V in January and enjoyed it, but I'm making a solo trip in May and was planning on trying Mama Melrose's. However salad, bread, flatbread, entree, & dessert sounds like an awful lot of food for one person. Do they do PS for solos?

We usually do the Fantasmic package and didn't this past November. What a nightmare! I will never try to see it without the package again!!!

Based on the mostly good reviews, I can't wait to try MM again!!!

While Fantasmic is not a favorite of ours, Mama Melrose is! We've always had great food & service. Bread, salad, flatbread & Chicken Parm. were all delicious.
