Fantasmic Pkg. Question
7
Sat, 08-04-2007 - 6:59pm

We booked a 4:15 dinner reservation & Fantasmic preferred seating package, with dinner at Mama Melrose's Italian restaurant. Well my sister showed me a map and the Fantasmic show is across the entire park, tsk. I assumed that it was right near the restaurant and that was the reason there was a package ...

Anyway, I am going to be using a mobility scooter. Will we have time to eat and get to the Fantasmic show? I don't really find anything that says what time the show starts, but I sure hope the reservationist would have taken this into consideration (I asked her about taking the scooter into the restaurants, so she knew we'd have one in our party).

TIA.

We have a similar time to you for our Fantasmic package in September although at H&V not Mama Melrose

I think there is more than one show (depending on the time of year you go)but that they don't start till around 7pm or so. Hopefully someone else will have more exact times LOL!

What month are you going?

Fantasmic! doesn't start until after dark, so the earliest that I know of (in December) is like 6, 6:30. If you finish eating in an hour, you should still have time to make it across the park even if it is that early.

LOL we are going the last week in December, the Fantasmic reservations are for ... (I have to go look, I forget) ... Monday, 12/24.

I normally do NOT eat dinner so early, but if we waited until AFTER the Fantasmic show, that would definitely be too late for me & dh, so 4 p.m. dinner it will have to be.

No worries. They make the Fantasmic! dining package reservations early exactly for that reason. Normally the latest dining pakage for Fantasmic! is 440.


If you get to Mama Melrose's at 4 for your 415 and it's kind of crowded since it's Christmas Eve, let's err on the side of busy and say you get seated at 430. Figure an hour to an hour and a half for dinner, dessert and paying, and it's close to 6 when you leave. You'll have missed the parade and most of the crowd associated with that but it will still take you about 15 min to get to reserved entrance, so you'll make it to the first show with 15 min to spare. If you'd rather wait for the later show you can do that too.


If it wasn't Christmas Eve and everything ran like clockwork, you'd get there at 4, be seated at 415, be done by 515, 545 at the latest and be seated for the show by 6.

The package only includes preferred seating for the 1st Fantasmic show. I called reservations for a different reason last night and asked this question while I had them on the phone. I suppose if we miss it, we'll just enter late or take our chances with regular seating for the late show. After hearing about having to cut through a parade and all ... but I'm NOT GONNA STRESS --- this is SUPPOSED TO BE FUN ;) :D.
