Fantasmic?

I am just trying to sort out ADRs etc for our January trip. I wanted to do a few faves and a few things we haven't done before.

Fantasmic was one that came to mind, we haven't been to MGM at all yet, and I wanted to do Fantasmic this time, I was wondering aboout the dinner package - which restauarnts were ofered (there are 3 I think?) and which in your opinion was the best choice - bearing in mind that we'll be using the dining plan, so cost doesn't figure so much in the equation.

The three restaurants on the Fantasmic! dining plan are Hollywood & Vine, Brown Derby and Mama Melrose's. I've only eaten at 2. We enjoyed our meal at Hollywood & Vine and would go back. I am willing to give Mama Melrose's another chance becuase when we ate there with the Fantasmic! package (in 2002) your entree selections were limited and we had the flatbread which was little more than cardboard tasting bread with a puddle of olive oil.

We did Mama Melrose's and hated it.

We have never done the dinner package although I looked into it for one of our trips.

I think there's an advantage.

I agree with what Shay said. I think it really depends on when you're visiting.

We used the package at H&V when we went 3 years ago and are doing it again this time.

We did the Fantasmic package this summer. We avoided it last year due to our daughter's fear of loud noises. Anyway, we ate at Hollywood and Vine. The meal was good and it was very busy! I don't know that you can really have bad seats in the show. We sat on the second area in and we were the second row of seats from the bottom. We could "feel" the heat.
