New characters for Fantasmic finale

[openendedsky]

Are the characters still meeting at Animation before the show?

Piebald the band?

 

[MKCP 1985]

All the hate for Meg! (Honestly I had not noticed her on the paddle boat )

Glad they didn't decide to replace her with Duffy!

Tirana is a welcome addition, as is the penguin.

 

[i love characters]

Tiana and Mr Penguin are being added to the steamboat for the finale. Meg will be going bye bye. We could see a few other ones at some point.

The penguins are already in the finale.

 

[Piebald]

Piebald the band?

Yes.

 

[marni1971]

And the projection system. And the lasers. And the lighting. And the pyro programming. And the dragon...

Yes, on nights there is not an early Fantasmic - on hiatus until DST starts.

Meg though, has not been part of that group for years....

Used to see the show twice a trip but this time we will only do it once!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needs updating!!!!!!!!

 

[Genie of the Lamp]

Why fix it if people continue to fill the stadium each night and don't care? That's the way they think. If I could change the show, the first thing that would go is the Pocahontas bit. Gotta go.

WoC should definitely stay exclusive to DCA.

Sadly raven, you're absolutely right. More people would be outraged if no F! showed at all versus us complaining about F! show issues. I mean seriously every freakin show it's a sell out which is why they probably wanted to add those benches. Yeah the Pocahontas scene has to go. I'd like to hear your input though on what changes/updates should be made to F! in DHS here. I'd suggest replacing Pocahontas with POTC since the PP addition at your DL was a nice addition to the show IMO.

 

[RSoxNo1]

What's the status of these changes?

 

[Genie of the Lamp]

I can't help you on the status change front. But I can say that I watched a youtube vid of this when someone went 2 weeks ago and Megara was still on the Steamboat Willie.

 

[JediTink]

Just saw the 8:30 show tonight, Meg and Bert were both on the boat, no penguins.

 

[Fantasmic]

I wish they'd put Br'er Fox back on the boat.

i don't care about who's going on the boat i want Fantasmic's Dancing Bubbles scene to change and add movies darnit.

Fantasmic's entirety needs to be updated really.

Dancing Bubbles is my favourite part! I love the music
I love Belle's dress also, soooo sparkly!

Is it me is there less pyro running during the show? Watched it three times a few weeks ago on two different nights, only once did I feel like pyro was running at 100%.

Last time I saw it in December all of the pyro was there. But I don't know anything official but I imagine that when/if the changes take place it won't be until the new casting period begins which is around May usually.

@drew81 - when did the ghastly preshow "entertainment" start?

 

[secondstartotheright]

aww...I understand why they would replace her, but... like another poster said, Meg was the last little bit of Hercules left in WDW. Sad to see her go. Plus, she would very occasionally appear for training meets in Epcot, and with her gone from F! That probably won't happen anymore

I know I'm not drew81, but it started after the show's refurb ended last year which I believe was February. They only do it before the first show, so if you ever want to miss it make sure to go to the second show!

 

[bethymouse]

We saw Fantasmic! once. I guess it's just not my fave. But, like everything else, it needs an update!
