Minnie's Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine

[Disneyfn420]

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one

I am hoping they don't' as it will make it easier for all of us to get ressies.

 

[TheyCallMeStacey]

what would be your guess as to the earliest dinner time?

I think H&V lists their dinner time as starting at 3:30.

If we go to the 7pm Fantasmic, is there still enough time to head back to see the Osborne lights afterward (park closes at 8pm), or will they start ushering us right out of the park after the show? If they do allow us to head back toward the Osborne lights, will they start kicking us out right at 8pm? I had originally planned to book dinner on a night with evening EMH, but that's our arrival day and as much I'd like to be GO, GO, GO, I know this is probably not a good idea...

My understanding is that the lights are on so you can linger for at least an hour after official park closing. So take your time and enjoy! (That's what WE'RE planning to do!)

I was wondering the same thing...How long is the Fantasmic show?

Question -

I am planning on booking this for 12/7. We will have a 21 month old with us, and plan on seeing Fantasmic. I am trying to decide if I should get the F! meal or the regular one, and my concern is the location of the seats. I tried to find an accurate seating diagram, but some show the seats in the center, and some show them off to the side. I would like center, but all the way in the back, in case the baby is afraid of the lights/sounds. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

 

[EllieBride]

I think it's less than 30 minutes, if I recall. But of course, it takes an age to get out of the theater, LOL!

Yeah, I think I will change my plans to a different night so that we aren't so rushed on arrival day....

If we're lucky enough to get Minnie with F! package then this will be our plan too.

I had jigged our plans to do F! another night but 11/7 suits us best.

I may be mistaken, but it looked like Kenny the Pirate had 11/8 listed as the start of Osborne lights. I thought I had read somewhere else that they would open 11/6. Anyone see anything different?

 

[twinkie567]

Anyone know what's happening AFTER Jan 3rd? Fantasmic dinners aren't loaded into the system at Mama Melroses or Hollywood and Vine after this date. Would love for the Minnie dinner to be extended just one more week for marathon weekend. On that note, I wish Osbourne lights were extended, too!

 

[boygirlmom611]

I feel your pain! We are keeping Disney JR - trying to decide to give up Mama Melrose for lunch for the Minnie Holiday :/

Yes...switch!!

 

[sayheyrenee]

Ugh now to decide a time. I want to see the Osbourne lights flip on at 6pm. So I am thinking earliest dinner possible, possibly 4-4:30pm . See Osborne lights then off to 7pm Fantasmic.

Is 6pm the busiest time or should I head over after Fantasmic....seems like getting out of there and across the park leaves little time.

Disney has them listed as starting Nov. 6th.

It's the 6th. Disney has it on their site:

Dining package seats are in the center now. Before FP+, they were off to the side.

The lights will be busiest right away. We plan to head back after the 7:00 F! show. Not ideal criss-crossing the park, but should minimize crowds. And the lights will remain on for an hour after park closing. I would like to see them come on, so we may try to watch the lighting, leave for F!, then come back.

This is correct. I just can't remember if they go all the way to the back or not? We sat very close to the front.

When exiting F! you will be dumped right at the exit of HS. But as long as the park is still open, you are free to head back to any attraction.

Well my Disney planner has been on the phone twice with them today and have her convinced they are NOT released truly is just a system error and the dates showing up do not even work when you click on them they told her they are not real. They planned to open it up by 6 this morning but they are still waiting too. (If they are telling lies that is just plain MEAN)

I canceled mine already because I got a CP which is what I wanted but I got a confirmation email and everything. I booked a BOG breakfast on Monday and my trip today is 101 days away. I'm just wondering how they can keep saying it was a glitch. Are they going to go back and tell all those people that booked on Monday, "sorry you got a confirmation email but it's not real. We had a glitch." I don't know if they are intentionally lying to you or if they are really that ignorant.
