Sunset. We’re getting close to the solstice.What's the reason for the 15 minute shift?

YES!! I fly in early evening of the 26th and had planned to book it over to DHS to see Fantasmic. Now I don't have to worry about rushing from MCO to SSR and over to DHS.An additional 10:30pm performance of Fantasmic! has been added May 26 through May 29. Beginning June 14, the 9pm performance of Fantasmic! shifts to 9:15pm.
Hopefully Epcot Forever doesn't change times either, as that is currently scheduled at the same time as F! (when it's a one showing night).What's the reason for the 15 minute shift?
While it's pure speculation (and clickbait) from ITM, it remains a possibility. Doubt there's any merit or chance of it happening though.
We’re talking about Disney Princess Ariel from the Walt Disney animated classic The Little Mermaid (1989), who reportedly is the highest-paid Disney character in the nighttime spectacular Fantasmic!
...
While Disney has not announced any official plans to invite Halle Bailey’s version of Ariel into the upcoming Fantasmic! performances, thinking that the live-action Princess could appear during the nighttime spectacular is not farfetched, especially considering that new characters like Moana and Mirabel have already been included in the show. However, as of this article’s publishing, this remains purely speculative.
Absolutely agree, just surprised they came up with this piece out of nowhere lol.Anything from inside the tragic should be discounted immediately

Post show announcements have returned to F! It was last seen/heard years ago up until the park closures, but didn't return when the show returned last November.
This new announcement uses the same female voice from the current preshow announcements and also has a slightly different script (italicized and underlined below) than the last iteration from 2020.
We hoped you enjoyed Fantasmic! Please exit at the rear of the amphitheater, and for everyone's safety, do not walk on top of or climb over the benches. Thank you for your cooperation and have a wonderful evening.
New (from last night):
Old (March 2020):
One other difference is that in previous years/iterations, the announcements were repeated in other languages like Spanish, but currently are not.
Strange that it moves later in August. Never seen that before.According to the Walt Disney World website, here are upcoming Fantasmic! showtime changes.
July 16 - moves to 9pm
August 6 - moves to 9:30pm
August 27 - moves to 8:30pm
Technically all the characters that (currently) appear on the boat, except the Fab 5 & Chip/Dale, do appear in the show in some form.Curious and maybe someone can answer in here.
At the end of Fantasmic, all the characters show up on the boat. But there are many characters that aren't in the show at any other time that show up on this boat too. Why doesn't Disney change those out fairly often? That just seems like such an easy and obvious way to surprise people with rare characters.
Ah darn, you’re right about Poppins. Idk anymore then lol..Mary Poppins has no part in the show, yet she’s on there. I also don’t recall Stitch appearing in a bubble, though appearing in a projection bubble is a low bar for being on the boat. Just feels like a missed opportunity to consistently show unique characters.
