All of the dining packages have seating but it is on the ground. There are no options for sitting in chairs except for VIPs. If she is in a wheelchair she can remain sitting in it at the back of the section. Get there early though, and check with a CM because they may allow you to enter through the side by pirates (easier than getting all the way to Harbor Galley).
I forgot to include that if you are right next to the rail, little kids can easily get really close when the show starts and look between the rails. The railing didn't bother me too much when I sat next to it in the BB section. There is no perfect seat unless maybe you are very tall/have a long torso and can see easily over others and are seated far enough back on the slope to see over the railing. Is your dining package the first day of your visit? If not, maybe you can scope out the area first and decide wether to cancel or not, though I think you should try it out. I know it is a lot of money but I think you'll find value in it. Things also depend on your kids, would they like sitting and relaxing for an hour before the show? My kids don't mind sitting for an hour or more if they have something to play with or talk about. You'll get let in the reserved area between 8 and 815 (can't remember exactly) and then you'll be able sit. Before that, you'll be in a line so that is tougher for kids but some do ok. At least it shouldn't be really hot that time of day and year plus some of the waiting in the line area is shaded. Will you be the only adult? If not, you could have one of the kids go off with one of you and then take turns so they don't get too bored. I don't really have that option though my son is old enough to wait alone with my daughter if I have to use the restroom for a few minutes.
I am guessing that while you dine you get a table to yourself, but when it is time for the show they may squeeze people together near the railing.
My daughter and I got our own table and I saw other parties of 2 at their own table as well.
This is good to hear. My Disneyland trips are in general solo trips now. And I am "old" now so sitting on the ground to watch doesn't appeal to me at all. Over priced seated options are the only way I want to watch this & World of Color, where the dessert party replaces dinner that night.
I totally agree!! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the WOC dessert party will seat you with another small party if it's sold out. We sat with another mom/daughter duo at the dessert party last week.
You're welcome!
When I did the Hungry Bear dining package July 28, we were seated almost front and center where the far right of #3 is. Just FYI. Not sure where you got this info or if it has changed since then...I've gone ahead and created this map of the current seating positions for all the dining packages, along with some of the regular FP/stand by viewing locations.
1)Dining Package Entrance/Stand By Viewing Area
2)Hungry Bear Seating Area
3)Blue Bayou Seating Area
4)River Belle Terrace Seating Area
5)Regular FP Area - Only those in the blue box get to remain seated, all others are standing.
6)River Belle Terrace Premium Viewing Package
Hope this can be of assistance with anyone with questions about the area layout. While section #5 on the map may look big, there are trees in the area which limits the amount of people that can fit. All outlines are approximate and not necessarily right up to scale.
Wow that is very interesting and kind of sucks too for people who want to plan ahead... I guess if you want front and center the only way to go is with BB or RBT. Thanks for the update.
Yeah I remember when we went to get seated for F! the CM specifically asked if all members of our party were present. Are they no longer doing this? They shouldn't allow a minority of people to save that many seats front and center. That's crazy.
