Regular River Belle Fantasmic Package?

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, if I laid down on my back on concrete.....wait, what am I saying....I couldn't even get my body to bend down that low!
I have thought about a wheel chair. I'll see how I feel as we get closer to the date (October).

Or even just an ECV for a day - it might help your body feel better going into the late night too, just to have it to go between lands, and still allow you explore everything walking. Either way you would get the accessible area for the show and avoid the ground!

Another spendy option is doing a VIP tour. I believe they can get actual seats right behind the dining package folks sitting on the ground. My husband looked very enviously at the chairs behind us during our trip!

What are my chances do you think that they will have an available ECV or wheel chair at 7pm when we arrive?

I'm assuming that they put the EVC folks in an area where there are no people standing up in front of them.
Do they allow someone to go with you to the special area? My daughter is short, could she stand in the very back of the EVC area?

Ok - Just to be 100% sure here... I just need to grab a standard RBT or BB reservation and then I upgrade to the package on the day I'm there? There's no special dining reservation I should be looking for?

We have a special dining reservation for Blue Bayou we booked on the package page, so I'm not sure the deal.

Copied from the Fantasmic page:
"Lunch and dinner Guests can request the Blue Bayou Fantasmic! Dining Package from their server. It cannot be reserved in advance at this time. Availability is limited."
(same wording for RB).

Folks have been saying, for Riverbelle at least, that lunch guests then get first pick and often the 1st showing gets full. Dinner guests often are left with the 2nd show. Haven't heard lately about no avails at all. Perhaps fewer people would want to pay for the upgrade if it is the 2nd showing.

I know that it states on the website that the BB F! Package cannot be reserved in advance, but several on here (including myself and looks like TikiRob) did grab a F! Package reservation on the first day reservations opened.

I'm concerned that folks who reserved through that page think they have a package already when they also will have to upgrade when they get there, which means dinner reservations made that way may not have access to the first show. Did it have you pick which show when you reserved?

I'm worried too... maybe it was a mistake? It did allow me to select which show. My reservation is 12 lunch and first show. I'm hoping if it was an accident they will honor it and being that early in the day it should allow first show availability.

I think for the lunch reservations there is a lot less worry, since reports say first show is available into the afternoon, but the dinner folks seem riskier. Fingers crossed they do honor it even if it was a mistake. BB section hasn't seemed as full as HB, but that could change as more people realize BB is open.

Let us know how it goes. I just did a trial run, and I could "book" a reservation that specifically says "Fantasmic package" for BB. But Riverbelle only still only enabled for their premium limited seating option. It would be nice if they were more clear about all this. They make lots of tweaks in their system without notices....it's so hard to keep up.

Maybe I'll get a special prize! Or maybe I'll just confuse everyone and they will make me eat at Pizza Planet.
