When it's peak season have they ever failed to do spectro magic, Wishes, Illuminations, or Fantasmic every nite?

Also during peak times they often have Fantasmic Spectro and Wishes twice a nite.

I don't think its a conspiracy - I mean, we all know that there will be quieter periods with fewer showings. But are they cutting back even when the crowds are there? Like Feb and March vacation weeks or other traditionally crowded periods?
May 2009 hours are out and Spectro is reduced even during moderately busy periods. Last year the week of Memorial Day there were 8 Spectros, this year there are only 3.

I could be wrongvbut from the end of May to the end of Sept. I'm sure it will go back to normal. I've never been during March or April so I don't know about then. I am glad they are being fiscaly responcible and not playing it every nite when it us slow. More money that can be saved to improve in other areas!

Fine line between fiscally responsible and cheap, and who says the saved money will do anything other than be saved for a rainy day.
The previous slow patch set precedents I hope the current management dont repeat.

There is no garentee that it will I hope so. But Disney is running a business they are not being cheap those shows are very expensive and makes no sense to run them nightly when it is off peak. Also the economy is not so hit right know and they need to be fiscaly responcible or they will be on a list for a bailout as well. Why should they waste money when it's not busy enough to do a show each night anyway!

Yes it does.
But even in the slow season many guests are being turned away from seeing the show. I've seen Fantasmic at different points throughout the year, whether it be the slow times or busy times and the show is always packed.

As of right now, its looking like Fant is going to be Feb. 22, 25, & 28 with one show at 7pm. The times are always changing. (I got 2 calls from scheduling in 3 days because the times had changed slightly this past week.) I'll be able to tell you if a second show has been added any of those nights starting on Saturday because that's when I get my schedule for that week.

That show may be packed at times when it's slow but the rest of the parks might not be. It all comes back to money if the rest of the parks are slow they may still view Fantasmic as to expensive to run nightly.

According to Tinkrbell and I think allears.net, they are doing Fantasmic on Saturdays, at least Saturday Feb. 28th.

Thanks! We really appreciate it.
I think that's a special case because of ESPN The Weekend. The Saturday is usually the peak day for these weekend events. (And that's why I'm going to The Weekend on Friday.)

They could raise each WDW ticket price by a mere $1 and cover most of the expenses of Fantasmic.:shrug:
