Mama Melrose Fantasmic

Hi Everyone
Is there a reason why i cannot get a later booking than 3pm for this Fantasmic Package?

Do they not do dinner there anymore?

Thanks


Jonathan

I'm not sure but when I tried to book this for our visit for last year I could only manage to get a lunchtime booking for 1.30pm. Lovely meal totally stuffed when we came out!

I think it's because they use the fantasmic package to fill the restaurant at quieter times.

I didn't manage any later than 3p too. We actually went for 2pm - a little later lunch and then only had some fries and snacks later on

We got a 4.05pm booking last year but since they use Fantasmic to fill early dinner slots you tend not to get any past 5pm.

I put 3pm down yesterday and got 3.05 as an option so went for that. Would've preferred later but no option to scroll down after 3pm.

I actually don't mind the early dinner. It leaves time to do some rides after dinner while you're waiting on Fantasmic starting. We'll have a late breakfast and some snacks either side of dinner if we fancy. I prefer that to a lunchtime booking as we wouldn't normally want to spend that long in the park.

When I was booking on Friday 3pm latest too. In the end went for 12.30 and we will then leave the park having been there from rope drop and come back early evening

The Fantasmic package is to entice people into the restaurant at the quieter times. They can full the place at the traditional dinner times without the Fantasmic tickets, hence the earlier times.

I had to ring up yesterday (as it was our 180 day ADR day!) about the Fantasmic package at Mama Melrose and they said they have no evening reservations available. Due to Hollywood & Vine being closed for a refurb when we go, I think Mama Melrose just booked up super quick!

We went for lunch instead at 1.55pm!
