How likely is it for Fantasmic to return by the end of July/early August?

Unlikely from what I understand.

I think at this point it will be ready when everything works. At least we are finally getting an updated show.

Nothing. I still sort of expect this back before end of year, but who knows.

Nothing currently except “Temporarily Unavailable” still.
Belle is currently meeting in the cottage and I imagine they’ll keep doing that until they get proper staffing to run two rooms continuously all day for Tales.

The grotto will be back first. Supposedly.

I'm not surprised that a lot of these character things, even the popular ones, have yet to return.

Think how much staff (front and back of house) it would take to do 3 meals a day at Akershus with back-to-back sets for the princesses. Ditto for the buffet at 1900 Park Fare. Even Universal isn't doing their character meals right now and they're far fewer in number.

This is such a great point and it's probably why CRT still only has Cindy.

We are still a longs away from character meals I suppose. Hopefully the international CM coming later this summer helps. But that's quite the bummer.

This should be removed and replaced with Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast attraction.

Why remove it? How about we start thinking in terms of adding attractions rather than replacing them.

or better yet removing that glorified cafeteria back there for a dark ride instead,,,but the tokyo ride looks odd to me show wise. big barren rooms and sit there and watch much of nothing but hear a story. Im glad Epcot got Rat over that.

Moving it's a small world solves this problem.
