Guests who book a dining package for Fantasmic! are able to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at some of the Park’s most beloved restaurants before seeing the nighttime spectacular in a reserved seating area. With Fantasmic! sure to be more popular than ever before once it returns, booking a dining package is a great way to see the show without spending too much time lining up early.

Included in each Fantasmic! dining package is a prix-fixe meal with one entree plus an appetizer or dessert per person or one buffet (depending on the restaurant) with non-alcoholic beverages.

Pricing varies based on each restaurant included in the package with full details listed below per Disney’s official website:

Guests using the dining package to see Fantasmic can choose from a delicious lineup of restaurants with casual dining at 50’s Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italian, buffet dining at Hollywood & Vine, and signature dining at The Hollywood Brown Derby.

There is one catch to booking the Fantasmic! dining package that you will want to note as you plan to see the show for the first time when it returns. In Disney’s official announcement for the return of Fantasmic! the company noted that dining packages will not be available immediately when the show reopens.

Reservations will open for Fantasmic dining packages beginning on October 26, 2022, but the packages themselves will not begin until November 30, 2022. With the show set to return on November 3, Guests attending performances in the first couple of weeks will not be able to book a dining package (and as such, if you plan to see Fantasmic! then, we recommend heading to Sunset Boulevard early to ensure you get a seat for the show.)

Disney’s official description of the Fantasmic! dining package reads:

Feast, Then Fantasmic!
Reserve your VIP spot at this dazzling nighttime spectacular, along with a delightful dining package.

Do you prefer the casual ambiance of Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, the bustling lunch scene at Hollywood & Vine or the fine dining vibe of The Hollywood Brown Derby? Whichever you choose, you’ll be sure to savor a mouthwatering meal before the stunning musical extravaganza known as Fantasmic! takes you away with its imagination-bending symphony of lights, lasers, fireworks, music & water animation!

Save the date for October 26 to make your reservations (on DisneyWorld.com and in the My Disney Experience app), and enjoy the show!
