What the Fantasmic! Dining Package Includes

The Fantasmic! Dining Package lets you combine a sit-down meal at a participating Hollywood Studios restaurant with guaranteed reserved seating at the Fantasmic! nighttime spectacular. It’s one of the best ways to secure a good spot for the show without lining up early.

Every Fantasmic! Dining Package covers:

• An entrée and dessert at select full-service restaurants, or a full buffet where available
• A nonalcoholic beverage (guests 21 and older can substitute an alcoholic beverage)
• One voucher for reserved seating at Fantasmic! in a dedicated section on Sunset Boulevard

You pick up your seating voucher at the restaurant during your meal. Seats within the reserved section are first-come, first-served, so arriving early still gets you better placement.

Updated Fantasmic! Dining Package Pricing

Hollywood & Vine lunch and dinner prices have increased. Adults now pay $82, up from $81. Kids aged 9 and under now pay $53, up from $51. Breakfast pricing at Hollywood & Vine is unchanged.

Here’s the full breakdown across all four participating restaurants. Prices exclude tax and gratuity.

• 50’s Prime Time Cafe — Adults $60 / Kids $23
• Hollywood & Vine (Breakfast) — Adults $67 / Kids $42
• Hollywood & Vine (Lunch & Dinner) — Adults $82 / Kids $53
• Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant — Adults $59 / Kids $23
• The Hollywood Brown Derby — Adults $83 / Kids $31

Park admission is not included in any package price. The Hollywood Brown Derby remains the most expensive option for adults, while Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant stays the cheapest entry point into the package.

Using the Disney Dining Plan

If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, the package is redeemable as follows:

• 1 Table-Service meal credit per person at 50’s Prime Time Cafe, Hollywood & Vine, and Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
• 2 Table-Service meal credits per person at The Hollywood Brown Derby

Check-In and Seating Tips

The reserved seating entrance is on Sunset Boulevard, next to Beauty & The Beast Live on Stage. Seating opens 90 minutes before the Fantasmic! show. Arrive at least 25 minutes before showtime to secure your spot in the reserved section.

Your dining reservation still stands even if the Fantasmic! show is cancelled, so you won’t lose your meal plans over weather. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, and a no-show or late cancellation will result in a per-person charge to the credit card on file.

Is the Fantasmic! Dining Package Still Worth It?

Even with the small price bump at Hollywood & Vine, this package remains one of the more reliable ways to guarantee a seat at Fantasmic! without showing up an hour or more early. If you already planned to eat at one of these four restaurants during your Hollywood Studios day, pairing it with guaranteed seating is close to a no-brainer.

How Fantasmic! Pricing Has Trended

Dining package price increases at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have become a near-annual occurrence, and Hollywood & Vine in particular has seen steady upward movement over the past several years as demand for guaranteed Fantasmic! seating has grown. A dollar or two here and there might not sound like much, but it adds up for families booking multiple nights or larger parties.

If you’re booking for a big group, run the math across all four restaurants before deciding. The price difference between Sci-Fi Dine-In at $59 and The Hollywood Brown Derby at $83 per adult can add up to well over $100 for a family of four, even before tax and gratuity.

Alternatives if Prices Feel Too High

If the dining package price increase pushes this out of your budget, you can still see Fantasmic! with standard park admission and no meal attached. Just plan to arrive well before showtime, since general seating fills up fast for popular performances, especially on weekends and during peak season.

Final Thoughts on the Fantasmic! Dining Package Price Increase

This price increase at Hollywood & Vine is modest, just a dollar or two more per person, but it’s worth budgeting for if you’re planning a Fantasmic! Dining Package around your next visit. Compare all four restaurants against your group’s appetite and budget before booking.
