I just received details of the World of Color fixed-price dining packages for Ariel's Grotto and Wine Country Trattoria. The following is the result of my typing furiously while the Disney Dine Line person read her notes over the phone, so please double check all information with Disney Dining before you make any non-refundable plans.
[Update: I've added some additional menu details, including the descriptions of the Ariel's Grotto items that are currently served on the existing restaurant's menu. Since Wine Country Trattoria has yet to reopen, we'll know later if the menu items listed are also on the standard menu.]
Reservations are being accepted NOW. 714-781-DINE. Reservations can be made 60 days in advance.
Two restaurants are participating in this fixed price dining plan. You choose the restaurant and the show, and they'll give you a window of time in which to make your dining reservation. Once you've eaten, you'll receive a voucher for each member of your party for a seat in the "preferred reservedSEATINGviewing area" for World of Color.Seatsspace is not assigned; like the Fantasmic reserved seating it's first come, first served (so I'd get the earliest dinner seating so I could go get in line after dinner and get the bestseats) spot. Cast members do not know where the "preferred reservedseatingviewing area" is at this time, nor could they tell me the per-show capacity.
[Update: Cast members are now telling callers that the World of Color package includes admission to a "preferred viewing area," NOT seating as was originally stated. CMs still do not know where the viewing area is, and are unclear about how the vouchers will be distributed. CMs are telling callers that viewing is "not guaranteed," and that it is first-come, first-serve, so you should still expect to stand in a line to get into the reserved viewing area.]
[Update 6/2: MousePlanet has confirmed that the prix-fixe meal package includes admission to the World of Color "preferred reserved viewing area." Disney Dine Line CMs should have an updated script for future reservations]
