Where are Fantasmic dining packages for early December?

[trainingupmy4princes]

I was booking my ADR's early this morning when I realized I couldn't book Minnie's Holiday Dine with F!. When do you think these will open up? This is the first trip where we have had such bad luck with things not being on the schedule and having to wait to book several ADR's(TH ROL Pkg, H & V F! Pkg, and CP Pkg in Epcot). Here's hoping I notice when they're available before they book up.

Park hours for December are not announced. Therefore, Fantasmic schedule isn't announced.
They don't book dinner packages for a show whose schedule is not announced.

The December TA calendar should be out next week, but no guarantee F! schedules are on it.

I understand the December calendar isn't up but I was more or less expressing how difficult this trip has been to plan compared to past trips. I'm also hoping when they are available to book that I find out before they book up. So if anyone wants to post when they're available, all us early December people can help each other out. And if any other planners want to express their frustration.

I will post when I find them available. Hopefully others will as well.

it does not look like any inventory was held back for the packages. exactly the same inventory is available for the package as for non-package (except with the cutoff being 5pm with package). FYI when I cancelled my backup H&V at a time that was NOT available with the package, it suddenly became available with the package and i rebooked package at my preferred time. maybe to risky to plan it that way but use that knowledge as you will

How did you do this? As I can't find anything as well at H & V but we do have an ADR on Dec 2 for 4:15.
This system is ridiculous, they should either have a way to add F! to existing ADR's or release the F! schedule at the 180 day mark.

I booked a F! package at a different time and when I did that it cancelled my h&v reservation. I rechecked and my old time at H&V suddenly became available so i booked that and cancelled the other. kind of like what you do when you try to pick up someone else's ADR except I did it for myself.

I can't find any F! at H & V for any times the several days we are there. But thanks for the reply.

For anyone that was unable to get a Fantasmic Package a few months back, I finally tried a trick I read on this post a while back today, I had a regular Hollywood and Vine dinner reservation with no Fantasmic, I saw one pop up today for a different time on my app, so I decided to check under Fantasmic H & V and it was also there so I booked it. At that time I felt safe to cancel my other Hollywood and Vine without the Fantasmic that I booked a few months ago, after I cancelled I checked under the Fantasmic dining packages and it was there, so that trick does work! Thanks to those who posted about that trick as it worked for me today!

glad to hear it. sometimes ADRs go poof without a trade so it is a risk without a backup! but glad it worked for you too!
