Good morning Yessy! We thought the Fantasmic Dining package was great. We ate at Mama Melrose, we used the dining plan, so no extra $ and we got to show up to a separate entrance so we didn't have to stand in line or be herded like cattle to get in. We walked right to our seats just shortly before the show started (20 minutes) and the rest of the seats were full and that was in September. We were there in March of 2009 and couldn't even get in to see the show :( That's why we did the package. If you are going to eat table service, the price is the same they don't charge extra because it's the Fantasmic package, but you do have to eat at Hollywood and Vine, Hollywood Brown Derby or Mama Melrose, you can eat at one quick service - Min and Bill's for the package as well. If there are two shows the package is for the first one. You get to sit in a reserved section, but don't have specific seats, the section is to the right, not center, but we had no trouble getting up close. I'm sure center seats are better, but we wouldn't have gotten them unless we were a lot earlier and with two little kids, we just can't wait 1 hour for every show at Disney to start in order to get good seats. I hope this helps :) Like I said, if you are going to eat, you may as well do the package, it's not more money, it's the cost of your meal. - DizneyGirl  354.6 #10 9:43AM

Good morning. The Fanrasmic! meal is expensive and limits your dining options. It definitely isn't necessary for decent seating either. You have to arrive to the theater as early as everyone else! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  395.9 #6 8:42AM

Good morning! - jacdanfan  2622.5 #19 9:41AM

we went to Fantasmic in April, and got there 1hour+ before the show. We didn't even get seats. We had to stand in the back where they had "standing room only" it was HORRIBLE to see, especially for kids. I would recommend doing anything to get a seat. Don't know about the dining plan, but if you are guaranteed a seat, I would probably do it! - ncjal  116.8 #44 10:03AM

We are doing the Fantasmic! dining package in February when we go. We have never seen the show either, and my daughter gets impatient in long lines, so I figured this would work well for us. =) - eeyorefan107l  274.9 #17 10:15AM

Good morning , if you don't do the dining plan meal & show , there's no garantee you will get a seat unless you get there 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs early !!! - skcanfield  354.9 #9 10:16AM
