Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

Poor Mickey...

He’s been sleeping this whole time and having a nightmare Fantasmic...

 

[Parker in NYC]

Ah, this ol' chestnut. LOL.

February 2022 maybe?

Definitely maybe.

Does the opening timeframe of F! effect the opening timeframe of other shows?

Does the opening timeframe of F! effect the opening timeframe of other shows?

I wouldn’t think so. I kind of expect the night shows to be the last to come back. Especially heading into the summer months.

I wouldn't expect much anytime soon. The only show opening this summer is a taste of Festival of the Lion King. I think next will be Royal Friendship Fare but that will be late summer at the earliest.

 

[gerarar]

I mean...A Taste of Fantasmic! already exists..

Bring that back nightly (for now)! Requires no on stage cast to be cramped backstage for social distancing problems.

 

[Disone]

February 2022 maybe?

Certainly they did not specify which February they were speaking of

I hope that next is A Taste of Beauty and the Beast at Studios will open more capacity for the park and help with lines. I suppose the only question is where to run the Rock'n'Rollercoaster queue through if the show does come back.


Also seems like Hoop-Dee-Doo is coming back sooner rather than later as well, good sign for entertainment!

I wonder what the plans are for FoF? I’ve been thinking, if Disney wanted to, this would be the perfect opportunity to do away with the “3:00 Parade” and move to a early evening time slot. I would think this would be easier on the performers as well not having to deal with the blazing sun and heat.

You got MISI at 5:45.

It’s very rough on park ops having so much late in the day. It is one of the things that made removing a nighttime parade an easy sell. Park ops vastly preferred just the fireworks.

Used to...

 

[Disney Maddux]

Used to...

So FoF can take up that slot, then when MISI returns it all returns to the normal schedule.

I say cut MiSi and especially Once Upon a Time. OUAT seems unnecessary, but maybe there’s a reason for it? other than taking up MSEPs time slot.

OUAT was a attempt to keep people in the park instead of everyone exiting after the fireworks

I wonder if OUAT was more effective at keeping guests in the park than MSEP? I do remember Frontierland was usually completely dead for the second MSEP.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

That is it. Read the title. Should say all you need to know.

Did you mean February 2022?

It was better than nothing. Usually, majority of people caught the first OUAT, Fireworks then leave.

2nd parade showing was dead unless you where near the hub/Main. People caught that then left.
