We first hit Orlando in 2003 as a family of ten people, 6 adults and 4 kids.
Not really knowing what to do except hit the parks every day we started to notice lots of little side shows that Disney do throughout their Theme Parks. The Fantasmic Dinner Package was one we enjoyed the most.
The Fantasmic Dinner Package is a meal in one of the restaurants within Disney MGM Studios along with a priority seat at the Disney Fantastic Water & Lights Arena.
Although they say priority seating, it’s just one area which is sectioned off so you can just turn up after your meal instead of having to queue.
There are approximately four restaurants to choose from in MGM Studios, on this occasion we were very fortunate to secure our meal at the Brown Derby which is very close to the Big Blue Hat at the heart of the park.
We made a great choice as The Brown Derby was a fantastic restaurant, exceptional food in a relaxing and picturesque environment. I would say that having been to The Brown Derby now a least 3 times, its seems to be getting more popular each year as we find it harder to book especially if we have already arrived in Florida. (Try and book the Disney Restaurants you wish to visit before your arrival via their website)
The Fantasmic Show starts around 9pm weather permitting, (If raining they will cancel the show as it’s a water and lights show) so after you have finished your meal you will need to take a look at your park map and start heading in the direction of the Fantasmic Arena. As you approach the crowds will swell as it seems like the whole park is heading in the same direction but as you have purchased your Fantasmic Dinner Package you will be pointed in the direction of the priority seating. Although the views are great from the whole seating area a seat near the middle seems to give the best view’s but that’s just opinion.
So once seated send the person with the cash to the pop corn and drinks stand and seat back and relax as you will be treated to an amazing night of water and lights with all your favourite Disney characters.
If you are going to visit Disney’s MGM Studios and fancy the Fantasmic Water & Lights Show Dinner Package then make sure you book before your arrival in Florida. Eating in the Restaurant of your choice is better than arriving and they are fully booked.
