Just checking- are all of these places still open?
Anaheim Produce
Fairfax Fries
Hollywood Scoops
Toluca Legs Turkey Company
Rosie's All American Cafe
Catalina Eddie's

They are all in that Sunset Ranch area- so probably will be our options for a quick dinner prior to Fantasmic.
Any preferences among them? I think Catalina Eddie's looks yummy...BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza!
ok thanks guys! Looks like a lot of different options!

I've had the flatbread pizza. It's good! You are right that they are all together. They all looked to be open as late as last November. It is a popular eating area, being so near the thrill rides. I imagine it will be open when you are there.

One thing to consider about counter service in any park. It is likely to close earlier than the park itself. Ice cream and bakery stops are the exception. You know you always have a fallback alternative with the quite good food sold in the Fantasmic arena. Since you are probably going into the amphitheater at least 45 minutes ahead of showtime, I doubt if you will have a problem with the food stands closing. If you have concerns, ask at Guest Services what time the Sunset Ranch stands are scheduled to close that day. Good luck! :cool:

We ate at Sunset Ranch one evening and it was open until the park closed. We love the burgers at Rosie's. So it is always a great treat to stop and rest and enjoy the screams.

They might be the exception, but last time I decided to get ice cream before Fantasmic, it was open but they ran out of flavors! The sheer horror! Actually for me it worked out okay because I was having a hard time deciding and the kid right in front of me got the last of one of my choices so I went with the other choice.

It was quite funny though, because it was quite busy (I believe it was summer) and half the line left when they ran out of chocolate. I don't remember if it was chocolate, but come on what other flavor could have possibly disappointed so many people.

:lol: Rosebud!

Great way to narrow your choices. I should have been clearer on the statement I made. Carts might close down but the Starring Rolls usually stays open, as would the ice cream shop in MK. The carts inside the arena would be open, but I can easily see how they might run out of stock on a busy night.
