Thanks for the info, I would like to do the Fantasmic dinner package, but I have to do that by phone. After reading some posts about this, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it and I really don't want to wake up at 4am to try to get something I won't be able to get. Tomorrow will be my 90 days, staying at the SoG and can't do it before. Does anyone know what this package is about? I read it's around $30, is this on top of charge for dinner, or does it include the dinner?

From www.allearsnet.com :

The Fantasmic! Dining Experience includes dinner at one of the participating Disney's Hollywood Studios restaurants and reserved seating in the Fantasmic! amphitheater. Only Brown Derby, Mama Melrose, and Hollywood & Vine are participating.

This means that instead of waiting in line for 60-90 minutes outside the theater, you can walk right up to the theater 30-45 minutes before show time, (no waiting in line!) and still have a seat.

There is no additional charge for the package itself. However, the package, which includes the Fantasmic! seating pass, MUST be guaranteed at the time of booking with a credit card, and a $10 cancellation fee applies if not cancelled at least 48 hours beforehand.

As of June 2009, you may order from the Brown Derby or Mama Melrose a la carte menu.

Hollywood & Vine $26.99 adult/$13.99 child (3-9) not including admission, tax, and gratuity (no characters). All you care to eat buffet. Choose from a number of selections including; oven-roasted Prime Rib, Citrus Baked Chicken, Pan-seared Salmon, and Stir-Fry Noodles with Sesame. Also includes fresh salads and build your own ice cream/dessert bar. Adult beverages NOT included. Child's meal includes beverage.

No dancing for me today...the airlines changed my flight time on the first leg of our trip, and now we're going to have to change all our flights! They left us no time to change flights in Houston (29min) and from what I gather, we would have a hard time under perfect conditions.
We were flying into MCO at 1:55pm, now we will have to change to a later flight. I'll have to change my Prime Time 50's ressie too.
I'm going to check with one more person, but most likely will chang the flights this week.

keep in mind they may not have opened them up yet for your time frame. several of us going the first week of october had to try how many days in a row ladies??? my ta did all my adr's and was told F! package was full....i came on here three or four days later and found out they hadn't loaded them into the system, so my ta kept checking and was still todl they were full. once they finally opened them up, i think squirel sent a pm to everyone saying they were open(course i was out that day!!! ) but i called my ta and sure enough she got it for us.

They changed mine too! Our original flight was leaving out at 530 pm and they changed to leave out at 745 I was miffed. I called the airline and they changed our flights for free, but now we have to catch the plane at 700 am! The good news we get to Disney earlier, the bad we are going to be so grumpy!!

Good luck to you!!

Hey Everyone! My name is Danielle. I just booked our family trip yesterday for Oct. 15-19th!! I am so excited. It will be my husband, my daughter(3), and myself! This is our 2nd trip to Disney. We went for the 1st time as a family last Sept. I am 14 weeks pregnant and will be about 26 weeks when we go. I know I'm probably crazy but I really wanted to our daughter to have another Disney trip before the baby came because it will probably be at least 2 years until we can go again. We are staying at Pop Century. We stayed there last year as well. I was hoping to stay at a moderate this time but it's just not in the budget. We like Pop so it's not really a biggie. I'm going to start a pre-trip report. Once it's posted, I'll post the link

I was able to get the F package for Hollywood & Vine for Oct. 26. I would like to have Mama Melrose, but the CM said that was the first one to go. I was just glad I was able to get something. But I will keep on calling.
