A Magical Meal + VIP Seating for One of Disney’s Most Iconic Nighttime Shows

If you’ve ever ended a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios by watching Fantasmic!, you know it’s more than a nighttime spectacular—it’s a whirlwind of music, water effects, fireworks, and pure Disney storytelling. This time around, we decided to make our evening extra special by booking the Fantasmic! Dining Package, and I can honestly say it made the entire night smoother, easier, and more magical.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a Fantasmic! superfan, here’s your complete guide to how the package works, what’s included, your dining options, pricing, and details from our own experience at 50’s Prime Time Café.

What Is the Fantasmic! Dining Package?

The Fantasmic! Dining Package combines two wonderful Disney experiences into one:

1. A delicious table-service meal at one of several participating Hollywood Studios restaurants
2. Guaranteed seating for Fantasmic! in a special reserved section

It’s the perfect way to enjoy a great meal AND end your day with premium viewing—without waiting in the long standby line.

Our Experience at 50’s Prime Time Café

We chose 50’s Prime Time Café for our dining package, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The moment you walk in, you’re transported back to the 1950s: pastel kitchens, retro TVs, checkered floors, and “family” members reminding you to mind your manners and finish your veggies!

The food was hearty and comforting—just what you want after a day of rides and Florida sun. Dessert was the perfect finishing touch, and afterward, our server handed us our Fantasmic! vouchers, ready for showtime later that evening.

It truly felt like dinner and a show…but in the most nostalgic, Disney-fied way possible.

Making Your Reservations

Dining reservations for the Fantasmic! Dining Package open bright and early at 6:00 AM EST — but don’t worry, you won’t be setting any alarms.

When you book your Disney vacation through me, you get the luxury of sleeping in while I’ll be up making your dining reservations for you.
I handle all the timing, refreshing, and clicking so your morning stays relaxing and stress-free. It’s just one of the ways I love helping make your trip extra magical.

If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, reservations can be made 60 days before your check-in day, and I’ll handle all your dining for the entire length of your stay.

Staying off property? No problem — I’ll still wake up and grab your reservations 60 days before each dining day.

Your only job: keep dreaming about the magic.

How Your Fantasmic! Tickets Work

Here’s exactly how the show portion of the package plays out:

• You receive your seating voucher at your meal.
• Check-in for dining package seating begins 90 minutes before the show.
• You must arrive at least 25 minutes before showtime to use the reserved seating.
• Seating is first come, first served within the reserved section.
• The dining package entrance is located on Sunset Boulevard, next to Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage.

We arrived about 30 minutes early and had fantastic seats—no long standby line, no stress, just a relaxed, easy experience.

The Show: Pure Imagination

Once you’re seated, get ready for a stunning blend of:

• Projections
• Fire effects
• Water screens
• Lasers
• Fireworks
• Mickey battling classic Disney villains
• And, of course, an epic musical score

Fantasmic! is emotional, exciting, nostalgic, and larger-than-life. Watching it from the reserved seating—without the huge wait—made it even more magical.

Final Thoughts: Is the Fantasmic! Dining Package Worth It?

The combination of a fun meal, guaranteed seating, and a stress-free evening made it feel like the perfect way to wrap up our day at Hollywood Studios.

If you want a smoother, more magical Fantasmic! experience, this package is a wonderful option… and if you book through me, I’ll make sure the reservation process is easy, effortless, and early-morning-alarm-free.
