River Belle Fantasmic

[wendlle]

Question about the Standard River Belle Package.
It says to "request it from your server"
Does this mean you may not get it??
I was going to do Hungry Bear but the menu options are hideous for myself, I don't eat any of it - unless they would allow me to get the kids mac and cheese?
However I don't want to do the River Belle if there is a chance they could say "no you miss out"

help! My booking date is in a few hours.

Theoretically yes, they can sell out. In practice, if you do lunch the chances of it selling out are very low. If you wait to have dinner at 6pm then yeah, it's a risk.

Ok thanks
I have booked both and will use today to decide which one to cancel

I only got normal river belle lunch
Was I supposed to get a special package lunch in order to participate??

No, when you check in you ask to upgrade to the fantasmic package.

I've only done RB, Hungry Bear's food looked gross to us.

We all loved the RB fantasmic package tho. We had the mac and cheese, the vegetarian dish and something else I can't remember. Only thing we didn't all love was the dessert but it was my friend that doesn't do sweets as much as I do. I personally loved it. It's all so much food, I ended up eating only half and eating it on the plane back a few days later.

We had a very late lunch (2:45) and they had tickets for both shows. It's a lot of food - we all got doggie bags (I had grilled cheese with burnt ends and the rest of the group had fish, and we had berry cobbler for dessert which was very good). The thing I noticed this time was our view of the projections was terrible. We sat in the far left (facing the island) of the section last time and had a good view but this time we were a little to the right of the middle and could barely make out any of the projections. I thought they used to have 3 "water screens" but only saw 2 this time and we were right in between them. Our view of everything else was wonderful, of course. Also if you go to the first show, they invite you to stay for the fireworks, but many of them are hidden behind the trees and of course you miss Zero flying down from the castle, so if you also like the fireworks I'd see them first and do the late Fantasmic!

We just did the BB package and it felt like the section wasn't where I remember it. It looked like river belles section was more towards the center of the stage. BB was off to the right, the entrance to pirates was directly behind me. The view of the projections was terrible, just a blurry mess. Overall the BB food selection was meh too. No more ribeye, the filet was tasty but different. It felt like small portions for the price.

Can someone confirm if river belle is the most centered viewing area now? Pre COVID, it was always BB.

I’ve done River Belle twice since June. Once we were more to the right and once we were dead center.

Is this because they are moving the lines how they section the areas, or just where you were positioned in the area?

No, I'm talking about where the specific area was tapped off on the ground. It was different the two times in saw the show.

I knew something was up. Hopefully we can get confirmation on what's going on. Blue Bayou was the group to the right this time, not dead center. Not happy about that. Pre COVID every time BB was the most centered group. It makes a big difference to me.

We are going in mid-November and we are booked for the Hungry Bear package. Can anyone tell me where that viewing area is now?

If you are facing the island it's to the far left closer to Harbour Galley.

It's actually good! Just show up a bit early and try to sit on the far right of that section and you'll practically be dead center.
