Did Fantasmic dining drop?

[cndkanga]

This is so frustrating - my dates are already sold out or at least that’s what it looks like.

Also a little annoyed that some people here have multiple reservations for one day!!

Just going to cancel my Riverbelle for lunch at 1:45 June 9th- it isn't guaranteed Fantasmic dining as it would require the upgrade. I booked that and Hungry Bear because I didn't understand why Fantasmic wasn't showing up for Riverbelle.

I'll be dropping my extra later tonight once I talk to my husband about which he prefers. I'm pretty sure people hoard reservations all of the time. That is why there are so many cancellations 24-48 hours before you need it.

You can book a regular reservation at River Belle and then you upgrade to the package with your server.

I'm worried about that though after the huge mess with World of Color. All those people who had booked Storytellers Cafe were told to upgrade at the restaurant and then told at the last minute dining packages weren't ready and missed out on spots for WOC. I'm sure if you're seeing it later on (not opening week) it'll be okay but we're going a few days after it opens. I'll probably play it safe with Hungry Bear. We normally do Blue Bayou anyways but that's a no go!

Sorry for being grumpy . I missed out on the WOC and Main Street Electrical Parade packages so this was my last hope.

How are people finding the Hungry Bear packages? I only had 2 options listed - River Belle Terrace and Blue Bayou and neither were available.

I found it by trying to book in the app.

Do we think the blue bayou one will come back once pirates and all that is open?

My guess is that yes, it will. I was told by a cast member that pirates is scheduled to be refurbished until June 30th.

I wrote to you on the other thread, but you can book River Belle as a reservation and then upgrade to the package with your server.

Here is Hungry Bear:

It says "Coming Soon", so yes.

Hungry Bear and Fantasmic.... which one should we go with, the earlier show or later show (if we want to see fireworks too)?

I'd say keep looking for the WOC and MSEP as people cancel all the time. Try looking between 24 and 48 hours before you want the reservations as that is when people have to cancel by for no penalty.

They also seemed to add more WOC Dessert Party reservations today. Go back and check for the dates you need know. I don't know if they expanded the area or what? But they definitely added more availability.

Check WOC Dessert Party today. They added more reservations to several dates.

Is this a guarantee? I only ask because it is showing regular reservations for a future date I am looking at, but not Fantasmic.

Thank you!!! I was able to get a reservation for WOC dessert package. Thank you so much!!

I did the same for 4pm - we want the second show so I was thinking 7pm but then maybe should stick with 4pm so it doesn’t sell out? 5/28 is our only option so maybe I’ll try to stop by ask earlier in the week to figure out which one to keep!

I booked the River Belle Premium package for June 28. The view was amazing last time, and I love knowing I have a chair instead of standing in the crowds. The food looks like it will be much better than when we did it in 2019!

I am so happy to see this is back, We did it a few years ago and being able to sit to watch was great. Coming with a little one this trip will make it that chair much more appreciated
