What time for Fantasmic Dinner?

[wdwdancerwannabe]

I'm sure that if the SEARCH ENGINE was working, I could probably find this answer easily - but instead I'll clog up the boards even more!!

I would like to book dinner at the latest time possible (fantasmic dinner package) - yet make it to Fantasmic in plenty of time. (I was thinking 7:15?)

We will be eating at Mama Mel. which is at the opposite end of the park....

What time do they START seating for package goers?

Thanks for your help!

We had dinner at Hollywood and Vine for the package. We ate at 4:30 and took our time. We met at a special gate about 6:30 to be led to the reserved section for the 7 pm show.
It depends on how many shows that night. If one or two, the first one fills up fast. But you can get a pretty good view from almost anywhere, the way it looked. If you are doing the package, 5:00 would give you an hour and half for dinner, and then you go to the reserved section.

The CMs have only certain time slots available for the Fantasmic package designed and planned to get you to the show in time. When you call for your ADRs they will adivse you based on the showtime that evening and you can then select form those slots.

They also mentioned that if there are two shows, the Fantasmic Package is only for the first/early show.

We are doing the dinner package on 5/31. Our dinner is at 5:30pm at Mama's. We've done this twice now, and both times the CM with Disney dining, directed me to the earlier time. That way they know that there won't/shouldn't be any time issues.
