Planning on topping off your day at Disneyland at the Disneyland Resort with a viewing of Fantasmic? Then you may want to consider taking advantage of one of the Fantasmic Dining packages that are available. Fantasmic Dining packages are available at Blue Bayou, River Belle Terrace and Rancho del Zocalo.
You may wonder why you would pay for a dining package to see a show that is available for free. First of all, Fantasmic in Disneyland takes place on Rivers of America across from New Orlean’s Square. Unlike at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, Fantasmic viewing is located on the walkway in front of the river rather than in a stadium. Best viewing is across from the stage located on Tom Sawyer’s Island. This is a narrow area. Space is reserved for wheelchairs, VIP tours, and the various dining packages. This leaves little space for casually walking up to view the show.
Secondly, folks begin to reserve space with blankets and strollers up to a couple of hours before the show is scheduled. This is true for parades and projection/fireworks shows in front of the castle at Disneyland as well. Purchasing a dining package allows you entrance to a reserved viewing area for Fantasmic. You can arrive as late as 15 minutes before the start of the show. Entrance to the reserved areas starts an hour before the show. Just know that you will be sitting on the ground, so bring an extra blanket or jacket for comfort. Purchasing a dining package is a great way to ensure a good viewing spot without a prolonged wait!
