hi all, can anyone tell me the best restaurant to book the fantasmic dinner package at with 2 children aged 8 and 10? thankx:)

Mama Melrose is Italian and Brown Derby $$$$ with more of a fine dining atmosphere. I think the best bet with a familly is is Hollywood and Vine. The meal is a buffet with plenty of variety for every appetite and an excellent ice cream bar for young children.

We did the dinner package at Brown Derby first time we went & I have to agree, the food was excellent but not cheap so it depends what you're afater & what the kids like.

we've been to the Brown Derby and Hollywood & Vine and would recommend the Hollywood & Vine if you have children. The food in the BD was very nice but also very expensive and the portions were not big. If they had not given us a basket of bread with the meal we would have all been starving after it. Whereas the H&V was buffet style with very good quality food and the soft drinks were included in the price.

What is Fantasmic?

Keep hearing it and I don't know what it is[confused]

It is the night show at MGM Kaz, fireworks ans special effects, it is absolutely fantastic and well worth the long wait you need if you are going to secure a seat.

do you have to purchase a seperate ticket for this,?
we are planning on going to mgm and would like to see this, what times does it start?

[Newhomebuyer]

You don't need a separate ticket but you do need to book if you want the dinner package which eases the queing problem.
The start time varies at different times of the year and busy nights when there are 2 performances.

[LiesaAnna]

not into these kind of dining packages but would like to see the rest of it! thanks :)

Excuse my ignorance here but do you have to book a dinner package or can you just stay and watch. Sorry - I'm a bit of a lame brain today. Thanks.[msnsmile]

[LiesaAnna]

i think that you only have to book at resteraunt for a meal, thats how i'm reading it, so correct if wrong[msnwink]

[E. Cosgrove]

you can just watch like all the shows in WDW. Book dining packages at guest relations

[E. Cosgrove]

Dining packages stop you needing to be there quite so early, as you have reserved seating .If you are not dining you need to be there about 90 mins pre show

[LiesaAnna]

thanks Liz:)

[thistle1314]

Liz - thanks for this. I want to see the show so will plan for dinner also but good to know if my plans fail then I'll still see the show. [msnsmile]

Do they have reserved seating? only used to be a reserved acces to the section you dined in, seats on first come basis bit like EasyJet. Though I would say this is the best way to see it, and is not that much extra if you plan on dinning out anyway. Needs booking though call:- 1-407-WDW-DINE.[drinkbeer]

[LiesaAnna]

oh decisions decisions!!!!!!! think i would like to dine there but the others....not sure

[E. Cosgrove]

Sorry Dave I should have made my self clearer, there is an AREA of reserved seating for diners, they are on a first come first served basis as far as where you sit goes but at least it guarantees you will get in as many shows are full.
