About Fantasmic! Dining Packages
The Fantasmic! Dining Package is one of the smartest ways to enjoy Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ spectacular nighttime show without the stress of staking out a spot hours early. The package bundles a meal at one of four participating Hollywood Studios restaurants with guaranteed reserved seating in a dedicated viewing section for Fantasmic!
This is not a separate ticketed event — you simply book a reservation at one of the participating restaurants, enjoy your meal during the day, and then check in at the Fantasmic! amphitheater before showtime with the voucher you receive at the restaurant.
The show itself is a jaw-dropping 30-minute spectacle starring Mickey Mouse in a battle of imagination against Disney villains, featuring water screens, pyrotechnics, lasers, live performers, and appearances from dozens of Disney characters. It is widely considered one of the best nighttime shows at any Disney park.
