I was just wondering which restaurant you all recommend for the Fantasmic Dinner Package?

We've only done one and it was Mama Melrose for a 2:45 lunch. We loved it. The two that had a steak said the steak there was the best they had all week. I had a spaghetti with seafood in it. DD had a penne.

I will second the steak at Mama Melrose was wonderful and we also got the antipasto appetizer, then a dessert. It was a good deal because I figure it would have cost over $42 dollars and I believe the package came to $32 or $35 each.

Is this a part of the dining plan also? And do you have to eat at the restaurant the same day that you are seeing the show?

Thanks!

MM and H&V are 1TS on the Dining Plan, Hollywood Brown Derby is 2TS credits.

You do need to see the first show (if there are two scheduled) on the same day your reservation is. Be prepared for an early dinner or lunch time as they allow a lot of time to finish your meal and get to Fantasmic in time for the show.

This is one you have to call in an book, make sure you ask for the Fantasmic DP.

Yes, it is. And, you will get appetizers even on the DP since it is part of the show package.

When you call in to book your fantasmic package do they charge your credit card the full amount or how does that work ? thanks

I have always been pleasantly surprised by Mama Melrose's, despite mostly mediocre reviews on these boards. It's not spectacular, but it's probably my favorite restaurant at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Your credit card number is taken when you book the Fantasmic! Dinner Package, but it won't be charged unless you do not honor the reservation.

And, if had to cancel your ressie for whatever reason, please call 48 hrs prior to your fantasmic package date, or your card would be charged $10 per person on the ressie. (I was told by the CM who helped me book ours for December 22! )

Book early, because they go fast!

DH and I are booked on the DxDP and are going to Brown Derby for the Fantasmic Package...for a very early dinner (3:45PM).

I've been to the restaurant before and really enjoyed myself.

We ate at Mama Melrose and really enjoyed it. Since we got appetizers as part of the meal, I was under the impression that the ones that said "for two" would have to be split between dh and I. Nope, each got an appetizer -- the calamari "for two" and the Caesar salad (that was "for one" but we split it, too).

We HATED H&V. I thought the food was horrible and ended up going back up and getting myself chicken nuggets from the kids part of the buffet. My husband didn't eat much but didn't complain about it. We will never eat there again.
