Any help on this would be great! Thank you!

To become a member can take more than a decade(wiki says it was up to 14 years, and then closed this year) and costs $9,500 and an annual fee of $3,175 for a gold membership which is what an individual would use. I have seen some kind members to the club make reservations for strangers online, but I've also seen others say they wouldn't feel comfortable making reservations for people they didn't know personally. Good luck.

Anjelah, you can make a Priority Seating at Napa Rose, up to 60 days in advance; as SuzieQ says, Vacation Planning can handle all requests for you. They do offer a children's menu.

My parents loved Riverside seating for Fantasmic. They hadn't seen it in years because it was too long to stand around and at 67 and 70, they aren't going to sit on the ground for all that time. It was worth every penny!

I wouldn't want you to miss out!
