I am considering the Fantasmic! Dinner Package, but I was wondering when the best time to make my ADR would be. I would like to go to Fantasmic! directly after dinner, but I don't want to be late either.

I am also contemplating skipping the Fantasmic! Dinner Package and eating at 50's Prime Time Cafe instead. I have wanted to experience this restaurant for a long time.

Do you think a 6:10pm ADR at 50's Prime Time Cafe will give us enough time to see Fantasmic!? We want to go to DHS on Tues., Sept. 23. I know this is value season, but with FD, do you think we could get shut out of Fantasmic! without the dinner package?

From my past experience, they only allow Fantasmic Dinner Pkgs between a certain time frame. They're usually pretty early. When I booked Mama Melrose last year, they tried to give me 4:00 for dinner. We went at a busy time so it was worth it to have the pkge and not have to wait in line to get in. If you're not going at a busy time - I would go with no pkge and 50's Prime Time. I wouldn't book the ADR any later than 6:00 though since the show starts at 8:30.

Exactly. They don't give you much of a choice for times and it's always early. Sometimes TOO early, like 3 to 4pm. The best plan is to take whatever time they give you then call back 2 weeks out and try to re-book at a later time.

Thanks! I am taking your advice and going to the 50's Prime Time Cafe since I would prefer the new experience over any of the restaurants on the FDP. (I've eaten at HBD in the past, am not a big fan of Italian which rules out MM, and H&V doesn't sound as fun as 50's PTC.)

I had booked 50's PTC back during my 180 + 10 window for 6:10pm, but I was able to call back this morning and switch it to 5:40pm.

Hopefully we will be able to make it to Fantasmic! with this new plan.

Thanks to everybody for the help on this one!

I would say around 4 ish so you make sure you have enough time to do everything
