I like that site too. I was hoping someone who has done it before could tell me if they enjoyed it.

We did the package sevearl years ago. The 'rules' were a bit different then, I haven't been lately, Fantasmic! isn't our favorite show and we don't feel like we're missing anything if we don't see it, but I know we're in the minority. We ate at Mama Melarosa's, I won't eat there ever again, everything was bland and tasted like cardboard. Again bear in mind this was years ago, I think 2002. We got our little voucher and went to the show about 45 min early. The reserved section isn't 'all that', but it's good. I don't think there's a bad seat in the theatre. The reserved section is the far right corner, about 12 rows. Upon exiting anyone can exit through the way the reserved section is so it's just as crowded going out. The show is good, but doesn't rank up there for us.

We love it and have done it three of the four times we've seen Fantasmic! We do the Hollywood & Vine meal. The food has always been good and there is something for everyone. We've taken groups there two times and it has been a favorite meal among everyone.

The one time we've not done the package was a nightmare -- standing in a hot, packed line for an hour. It's so neat to go behind the scenes and walk right in. We like the seats on the right because you have a good view of one of the water screens.

HTH,
Susan

We did the Fantastic package in 2004, that's the only time we've seen the show. It was worth it for us, we had a 15-month old and a 3 year old, and we did it to avoid having to stand in the line to get in the theater. We were scheduled for Hollywood and Vine, but they were closed for some reason when we got there, so they gave us a voucher and let us pick another restaurant in the park, and we got to eat there as if we had an ADR and we still got the Fantasmic vouchers. We ended up eating at 50's PTC that time. The seats we had were pretty good, we were about as close to the center of the theater as we could be and still be in the reserved section. If we see Fantasmic again, we'll probably do the package again for the convenience of it.
