Those sound cool. Mine from last year were very different and nothing unique at all.The cushions are cute. Black with the F! logo on one side, and the BB logo on the other.

Has anyone done the RBT premium package where you get to eat and stay in your seats for the show? How is the view when you do that? I am worried it will be off center so much that the show will not be good from that point of view.
I did the BB package last friday. It was absolutely worth it! The food was by far the the best meal we had, and the view for the show was unbeatable. My mom loved the experience so much, she decided to book it for her and her husband again in march. The cushions are cute. Black with the F! logo on one side, and the BB logo on the other. I've just never been able to experience F! as magically as that. They didn't pack us in tight at all, and we were in the first showing. I would recommend!

I have gone back pages and pages looking for info about the Hungry Bear package and most everyone is discussing the two other options. So I have questions for those that have done Hungry Bear:
- Can you choose from their normal menu? This is both for adults and kids. For my kids at least, the BB, RBT and HB Fantasmic food menu for kids would be very unappetizing, but the HB normal menu has stuff they love. It is one of the reasons we are looking at HB over the other two.
- How often do they require you to stand? They make it clear that it is a non-seating area but it appears to be dependent on maybe how full it is? Has anyone gone to the HB section and been made to stand? We’d much rather sit.
Where in the BB section did you sit? Wondering if the railing is in the way if sitting in front.

It was only part of the package offerings while RBT was under refurbishment.I don't see on the DL website the option for Café Orleans. Did it go away?
I read a review that with the second show, all Dining packages are seated together, is that true? Review was from August, so maybe it’s changed since then? Hoping it isn’t true.
I went in both September and November and for the second show both times RBT and BB were mixed in the same area, but HB was always kept separate.
Which area? I have reservations to see the second show with a BB package. Will we be put in the RBT area instead? If BB area, will we have to get there extra early if they’re adding people from other areas?
If you scroll back through for several pages and read through the different experiences you will see a few people who have had this happen. It's not a huge deal, it seems that they just combined the seating areas for BB and RBT for the second show. The area is still dead center to the stage so I imagine its usually the BB area for the first show. I think they usually don't sell out of the RBT and BB dining experiences for the second show so the can fit everyone into the BB area (maybe the usual RBT area is combined with the regular fastpass seating area, not positive).
I got there both times about 10 minutes before they started letting us in (I think they let us in just a bit after 10 p.m. for the 10:30 show) and got a great seat each time. As I mentioned in another post the only thing that was annoying was they let the RBT group in first one night and BB second. I still got the perfect seat I wanted but for that few minutes of watching the RBT group get in first it was annoying just because we had paid $30 more per person and I was worried we wouldn't get the ideal spot... But such is life. Depending on the Cast members that evening crowd control at Fantasmic can be a thing of beauty... or kinda messy.
For some views of where I was seated and my specific experiences here are my videos that I've posted in the past:
