Which restaurants are on the Fantasmic dining package?
Can you eat at any time with them?

I found this on the Disney website

Walt Disney World Resort - Detecting Browser Properties . . .

You do have to call to make a reservation though

Thanks Mari, that's brilliant.

Is the reserved seating any good? It's not way off to the side or right at the back

Yep it's fine. It IS off to the right of stadium as you look from the back, so if you REALLY want a centre view, it may not be perfect but since they plan fantasmic to be equally viewable all round, it's pretty perfect for most people.

You now enter through the normal entrance with everyone else and speak to the CM at the top of the path, give them your ticket and you'll be shown to the special seating area. (versus going to a different entrance in the old days)

Since the number of shows is limited, you now have to make sure to get there early even with the dinner package since they start giving the seats away closer to show time.

We used to get there 30mins before with the package, this time we were strongly advised to get there 1hour before and sure enough, it was already near full in the dining package special area!
