Review of the Fantasmic Package Dinner.
We wanted to get a Fantasmic Package so we could skip the lines for the show. Know this, you still have to get there 30 minutes early to sit in your reserved section. This was crazy to us, what's the point of having a reserved section if you still have to get there half an hour early? (We have a five-year-old and a two-year-old so sitting that amount of time is difficult). The seats for Fantasmic were incredible, right in the middle and super close to the bottom, but the price tag for them, around $70 adult and $30 for kids will make us pause.
I think the answer is once or twice a year we will do this and then skip Fantasmic the rest of the time. Because sadly once you have that great seats, it makes it hard to go back higher up to the side.
The good is the food. It's actually surprisingly delicious. I don't expect that at these restaurants. I got pot roast, beef at the carving station (I forget what type, but it was fatty so I liked it), mushroom risotto, etc. There were so many options. Also they had the kids favorites, tater tots (which were hysterically called potato barrels), chicken nuggets, corn dog nuggets, and white rice.
For dinner they have Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. We were there during a seasonal time, so they were all dressed as vampires. We went for a long time without seeing any and then they came almost back to back. Do not go to the restroom. Each time someone went to the restroom a character came without fail. Make sure your whole family goes before you sit down!
Even though we had a reservation, it took thirty minutes before we were seated.
Overall I won't choose to eat here on our own, but if friends want to (like what happened this time) we will go.
