Simple enough question: before I dial, is it even possible to add the Fantasmic package to an ADR I've already made online? I have the conf number.
Hi Doug,
No. The Fantasmic packages are different from the standard restaurant ADRs in a few ways - for one thing, they require a Credit Card guarantee where the regular non-fantasmic ressies do not. They also are limited as to the seating times, and the number of tables allotted. So, you'd need to find availability for the Fantasmic package, which may or more likely may not duplicate the date and time you already have, but it would be taken from a different pool of tables.
for the evening of Sunday 8/29, are crowds for Fantasmic really going to be that big of a deal?
I can't speak to the crowds, but I can tell you this: The amphitheater fills up from the top, so if you wait forever to get front row seats & sit way down front, you will also be waiting to exit the theater when the show is over. It is also a very BIG show, so with the smoke and holograms and stuff, IMO a back row seat is not so terrible.
Having said that, I have not attended since the number of weekly shows was reduced, and it may be way more in demand than the last time I went, which was over a year ago, and we slipped in close to show time when they make everybody push together, and we loved getting right out when it was over. If you don't get a Fantasmic dining package, you may want to monitor these boards for reports of attendance in late July or early August to see how it is in the summer.
Hope this helps and have fun planning!
