Fantasmic! Dining Package Prices Just Went Up at Hollywood Studios

Fantasmic! dining package prices went up on October 6, 2026 — the same day Annual Passes, 2027 tickets, and quick-service menus all moved. If you are counting, that is four price increases in two days.

Most of the Fantasmic! changes are $1 or $2. One is $3. And one price actually went down.

Quick Summary

• Fantasmic! dining package prices rose October 6, 2026 at four Hollywood Studios restaurants
• Sci-Fi Dine-In took the biggest increase: adults up $3.00, from $59 to $62
• The Hollywood Brown Derby remains the most expensive: $84.00 for adults
• Hollywood & Vine kids lunch and dinner went DOWN $1.00, from $53 to $52
• Kids pricing at 50’s Prime Time, Sci-Fi Dine-In, and Brown Derby is unchanged
• All prices exclude tax, gratuity, alcohol, and park admission

The New Prices

50’s Prime Time Cafe

• Adults (10+): $62.00 — up from $60.00
• Kids (9 & under): $23.00 — unchanged

Hollywood & Vine

• Adults, Breakfast: $68.00 — up from $67.00
• Adults, Lunch & Dinner: $83.00 — up from $82.00
• Kids, Breakfast: $43.00 — up from $42.00
• Kids, Lunch & Dinner: $52.00 — down from $53.00

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

• Adults (10+): $62.00 — up from $59.00
• Kids (9 & under): $23.00 — unchanged

The Hollywood Brown Derby

• Adults (10+): $84.00 — up from $83.00
• Kids (9 & under): $31.00 — unchanged

Two Things Worth Noticing

Sci-Fi and 50’s Prime Time are now the same price. Sci-Fi was $59, a dollar under 50’s Prime Time’s $60. After this round, both sit at exactly $62. Sci-Fi absorbed a $3 increase to get there while 50’s took $2.

That looks like deliberate flattening rather than two independent decisions. If you were picking Sci-Fi partly because it was the cheaper of the two, that reason is gone — choose on the room and the menu now, because the price is identical.

A kids price went down. Hollywood & Vine kids lunch and dinner dropped from $53 to $52. In a week where Disney raised the Incredi-Pass 7.4% and pushed peak Magic Kingdom tickets to $229, one dollar off a kids buffet is the lone decrease on the board.

It is a rounding error in a family’s budget, but it is worth noting because it suggests these numbers are being set per-restaurant rather than by a blanket percentage.

What You Actually Get

Each Fantasmic! dining package includes:

• An entree and dessert at a full-service restaurant, or a full buffet where available
• One non-alcoholic beverage — or an alcoholic one if you are 21 or older
• One voucher for guaranteed reserved seating at Fantasmic!

That third item is the whole product. The meal is the delivery mechanism; the seat is what you are buying.

The Seating Detail People Get Wrong

A reserved seating voucher is not a reserved seat.

Seating opens 90 minutes before showtime, and seats within the reserved section are first-come, first-served. Disney’s guidance is to arrive at least 25 minutes early.

So the voucher guarantees you get into the reserved section. It does not guarantee where in that section you land. If you want a good view rather than just a seat, show up well before the 25-minute mark — the people who treat the voucher as “we can stroll up at showtime” are the ones who end up on the far edge.

Is It Worth It?

Run this math yourself rather than taking the package price at face value.

Look up what that restaurant charges for a comparable meal on your date, then subtract it from the package price. The difference is what you are paying for the seat voucher. At the buffets that gap tends to be narrow; at Brown Derby it is a different conversation entirely.

On the Disney Dining Plan, the credit math matters more than the dollars:

• 50’s Prime Time Cafe — 1 table-service credit per person
• Hollywood & Vine — 1 credit per person
• Sci-Fi Dine-In — 1 credit per person
• The Hollywood Brown Derby — 2 credits per person

Brown Derby costs you double the credits. If you are on the Dining Plan and the goal is a Fantasmic! seat, the three one-credit options are the efficient play, and two of them now cost exactly the same.

Practical Notes

• Advance dining reservations are recommended and these packages book out for busy weeks
• Prices exclude tax, gratuity, alcohol, and park admission — budget accordingly
• Fantasmic! does not run every night; confirm it is scheduled on your date before booking a package around it
• This increase is separate from, and on top of, <a href=”https://dismornings.com/?p=22972″>the quick-service menu increases that hit the same day</a>

The Bottom Line

Fantasmic! dining packages are up $1 to $3 per adult, with Sci-Fi Dine-In taking the largest hit and landing at price parity with 50’s Prime Time. Brown Derby stays the premium option at $84 and two dining plan credits.

If a guaranteed Fantasmic! seat is the goal, 50’s Prime Time or Sci-Fi at $62 and one credit is the value pick — just get there early, because the voucher gets you in the section, not into a specific seat.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
