Thanks to an influx of groundbreaking attractions like Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, as well as classic favorites like the Tower of Terror and the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster, Hollywood Studios has become one of Disney World’s busiest parks over the last decade.
All of that makes the opportunity to have a table service meal, guaranteed seating for the park’s nighttime spectacular, and the afternoon/early evening free to enjoy those rides one that’s hard to pass up, even for someone like myself who has been visiting Hollywood Studios for over 30+ years. The key to that: A Fantasmic! Dining Package.
Fantasmic! Dining Packages offer an entrée and dessert at select full-service restaurants or one full buffet (where applicable), along with a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage, for Guests 21 and older) for a set price, and a voucher for guaranteed seating at Fantasmic! in a reserved area exclusively for those who purchase the package.
Restaurants which currently offer the package include Hollywood & Vine, The Hollywood Brown Derby, the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, and the 50’s Prime Time Cafe.
Now that you have the basics, though, here’s the true key: Instead of booking a dinner reservation, do either a breakfast or lunch reservation with a Fantasmic! Dining package.
That way, you can have a table-service meal and access to the Fantasmic! VIP seating area, but you can dedicate the full afternoon and evening to rides — and plan your Lightning Lanes accordingly — instead of having to pencil in dinner and then likely head directly to the show.
Next time you head to Hollywood Studios, consider taking advantage of an early Fantasmic Dining Package. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Disney World tips.

The Fantasmic Dinner Package is guaranteed, preferred seating in the bench areas only. If someone in your party requires a wheelchair, the Dinner Package cannot guarantee that type of handicapped seating. That is only on a first-come, first-served basis.
