Hi All!
I was wondering if anyone has done the fantasmic dinner package lately (like REALLY recently, say for the past month or so). We did it a few years ago, but I read on an other site some really bad things about it nowadays. I read that there is no longer a special entrance, that you now need to wait in line with every one else & once you get to the front of the line you will be guided to a special section. However, once you wait in this line you have missed your window of checking in 30+ mins early (or however much early they tell you to check in) and that after that amount of time they start giving away the reserved section to everyone else. Can anyone confrim that this is / is not true? I'm hoping it was just an exageration or perhaps one faux-pa that just ended up happening for 1 night.
The last time we did the Fantasmic dinner package, they kept the section reserved all night, so literally we were all stretched out with tons of room and people were all crammed right on the other side of the rope. I thought that was a bit extream, I mean once we got to be like 10 mins before the show or whatever, I would have been fine with haveing non-package people come sit next to us. But, the reason we get the fantasmic dinner package is because we can't sit still just waiting for 1-2hours. We like to stroll in 30-45 mins (or whatever it is) before the show but still being able to sit (not standing-room-only) But if we still have to show up 1-2 hrs early, it's not worth it to me. Can anyone confirm if this other sites' poster was just exagerating???
