passport plus, fantasmic and goofy's kitchen

[zizzerzazzerzuzz]

I just called the Int'l Dep't and the price for the 5-day park hopper (3 with 2 days free) has increased to 129.25. Thanks to the info from this board. I can collect it at the WDTC office when I get there.

I was not, however, very fortunate on Fantasmic Dessert Balcony Seating. It's sold out for Nov 9! They have still premium seats available but 47 bucks for a keepsake box with (accg to another disney board) 2 chocolate covered strawberries, a truffle and small cookies - I think my husband will kill me. Apart from staking out my spot 3hrs in advance, is there any way we can have a decent view and where?

I also booked a breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen. I've read somewhere - I think - that I can upgrade the breakfast coupons that come with the passport plus in Goofy's Kitchen. I asked but they said it wasn't possible. Whoever was able to pull this off - how did you do it?

Did you get Park Hoppers or Passport Plus tickets? Both are the 5 day passes, but the benefits are different.

If you have the PP+ tickets, you can just give the breakfast vouchers to your waitress along with the money for the rest of your bill at the restaurant and use them that way. We used ours for a character dinner at Ariels...no problem.

most people reccomend staking out a spot for the second showing of Fantasmic as soon as the crowds dissapate from the first. An hour wait.....just a long day so sleep in !

thanks all for the replies. i was surprised to get mail from wdtc today! instead of faxing my confirmation slip, they mailed it to me! pretty quick!

We got the passport plus. HOwever, the wdtc lady who booked my purchase specifically said that we can only use the b'fast vouchers on the 2 specific dining places mentioned - both of which are in the park.

I am not sure how that will work, since, unless they changed the places, those places no longer serve breakfast.

Agents do say that you must use the breakfast vouchers at the specified restaurants, but in fact they are regularly accepted at all the other restaurants in both parks.

You will be able to get seats for free for Fantasmic if you wait for the second showing. Get ready just as the first show ends and then as the crowd leaves, you move to the spot you want. You can get a great seat with about 45 minutes wait.

We just got back on Sunday and I agree the second showing (if you can Manage it) of Fantasmic is a much shorter wait. we sat right by the water for the 9 show,grabbed seats at 6pm. then rode pooh while waitng for aour fastpass 10:10 time of reopening day of Splash Mountain the watched it again on our way out. the second show IS harder to see -esp. tape or photo because the haze/smoke from the first show(and wild frires) is fairly thick.

the vouchers are good at all laces -we haD no problem and used a 10meal plan booklets in 1 week. the breakfast bread bowl at CA-pacific wharf was great- scrambeled eggs 2 bacon and sliced orange for 7.99

hope you all have a great time --we did

We did both Fantasmics at the beginning of October-I think you actually get more with the Premium seating-with the balcony, unless you loaded up your plate when you first get there, there is only one opportunity to get to the buffet table-esp. if you have front row seats. Not knowing this, we were served our beverages and went to the buffet table, I put a piece of cake on my plate and when I was finished and wanted to go back up for something else the show was already starting.

In our dessert box we received, 2 choc covered strawberries, choc dipped biscotti, large jam-filled sugar cookie (also dipped), a mickey head rice crispie treat (also dipped), and a macaroon (my fav-also dipped). Kids (adult by Disney stds) had sodas and bottled water (I think my DS had 3 sodas and a bottled water), DH and I each had 2 coffees and bottled water.
