Hi you have to leave a crdit card but we had no problems and only the bill total was debited. You can cancel within 48 hours, don't know if they levy a charge if you don't show though.

Hope this helps!

I did the hollywood and vine in December, was told that credit card would be debited the whole amount if you did not cancel within 48 hours and failed to turn up.
Thinking of doinf Mama Melrose in August so will try to book around May time.

Well, I tried ringing again to see if there were any cancellations. No such luck, However... When I asked if they had any tables for 2 or 3, the girl checked again and said there were two tables for 2 at the Hollywood Brown Derby, one at 3.30 and one at 3.40. on Tues 3rd May.[:P] I booked them. Sounds like tables of 4 and upwards are most popular. We don't mind splitting up and you never know they may be able to seat us near each other anyway. So, Now I'm a happy bunny[easter2]

We considered doing the Fantasmic package but when we weighed it all up:

the length of time it would take us to eat the buffet;
the cost (including tax and tip):
you are advised to report no later than 35 minutes prior to show time;
the reserved seating is off to the far right;
you will not have specific assigned seats (it's done on a 'first-come/first-served' basis;
if the event is cancelled due to bad weather, you do not get a refund or a voucher for another performance;

we decided against it.

We bought take-away meals just before going in, found some excellent central seats, ate our supper, put our feet up and waited for the show to start!

We did start making our way over about an hour and a half before the show, but while we were waiting we spent quality time as a family reflecting on our day in MGM Studios and indeed the whole holiday. We all thought it was well worth the wait for the excellent seats and the time passed surprisingly quickly.

Hope this helps!

what time does the fantasmic show start - seems awful early to be eating dinner at 3.40??

Trev, We are 'doing' the fantasmic dining package on May 3rd. At this time of the month, the parks close at 8.30pm so I presume the show will start about 8pm.[msnsmile2]
Although we are eating at 3.30/3.40pm, we are hoping to 'walk off' the food [sporty][sporty][sporty].My In-laws our not big eaters and prefer to eat during the day rather than a big meal in the evening.

Just booked the meal at Mam Melroses for the day we wanted. Eating at 4pm. This was the only slot they had available. Luckily they had a cancelation a few minutes before i called. They had to jiggle the seating around so we can all sit together. Especially as my son has aspergers and will be very upset if can't sit with all his family. I did suggest to Disney that the boys could sit together and Pete and myself could sit the other end. Wouldn't do that tho.!!!!! Only joking. Would hate to see my phone bill i had to hold for ages but i am sooo glad i have booked. [clap]

Only just read this thread and panicked!

We are going over in two weeks and wanted to book a fantasmic package for Mama Melroses - thought that I would only have to book whilst we are there.(Duh[msntongue])

I've just phoned Disney and it must be my lucky day [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

I've managed to book a table for the very day we wanted to go![clap][clap][clap]
