Apparently F! is returning this may to DL. Hopefully DHS isn’t far behind?

Do we at least have good news on the DHS Front? It's been quiet for a while. Rehearsals on the way?

Any Fantasmic update? Going in late June and need that show to be open. It is very nostalgic for my family

I don’t know if anyones mentioned it, but even with the Princes, Anna & Minnie rejoining their pairs, Wendy has not rejoined Peter at FoF

Correct. Her and Daisy are staying on the ground.

To be honest I’m assuming it’s because there’s only 4 lost boys right now, I think there used to be 8? It may just be better for the choreography for now.

There were 6 now there are 4. Shes pretty integrated into their choreography now so it just works to leave her on the ground.

Are the opening performers excepted to return to FoF?

The swan court? I wouldn’t imagine so, but would like nothing more than to be wrong.

There shouldn’t be any reason other than $ that they wouldn’t come back?

Workshop on the way, which is still different than full rehearsals.

So a date after Workshop?

I at one point thought maybe they were holding off on Fantasmic because they didn’t have staff to keep HS open any later, but Harmonious runs @ 9 and Epcot closes @ 9. HS has been closing around 9 anyway, the show could even run at 8 or 8:30. Seems that the ol mighty purse strings are keeping this show dark

Yea and the bubble girls are still missing from the finale.

Correct.

Probably not a firm date until part-way through actual rehearsals

They aren’t keeping it closed just because they feel like it. They’ve spent the money on it there’s no incentive to spend money and then not operate it. They’ve hit some delays with it that’s all. It’s in progress.
