Should I keep F! package or get later seating?

[Momof2J's]

I have made a F! ADR for Mama Melrose to get the priority seating. Our time is at 3:20 since that was the latest I could get. I see now that there are 2 showings of F! that night. Should I keep this package or try to make a later ADR w/out?

Also, now that there are 2 showings, do the F! packages get the earlier one then?

Thanks!

The packages apply only to the first showing.

We have an ADR at the Brown Derby one night. Do you automatically get the Fantasmic package? Do you have to pay extra for the Fantasmic package? Can you use the dining plan with the Fantasmic package?

Thanks for your help!

You do not automatically get the Fantasmic package, you have to call WDW-DINE and ask to book it. You can't book it online and you'll have to give a credit card number to hold the reservation (won't be charged unless you just don't show up).

It's a fixed price and you order three courses (except at Hollywood & Vine which is a buffet). Yes, you can use the dining plan (1 credit for H&V and Mama Melrose, 2 credits for Brown Derby. If you are on the basic dining plan, an appetizer is included on the package at no extra cost). Your meal reservation will be between 3 and 5 PM - likely no later and definitely no later than 5:30.

We have the same dilemma. We have a F! lunch at Mama Melrose at 3:05. There are now two showings of F! that night - 6:30 (which we have the package for) and 8:00. I know the 8:00 show will be less crowded and we would have more time before F! to do stuff, but we elected to keep our package. We are going with friends who have a 4 year old, and 8:00 would probably be too late for him.

If you have just adults in your group, you might prefer to go to the later show. If you have younger kids, I'd probably keep the package and know that you have seats as long as you show up to the theater in time.

Just my opinion, though!
