Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[wdwmagic]

How/where was this announced? For guests who already happened to be in the park? I didn't see an email about it. I feel like I miss out on a lot of passholder things due to poor communication on Disney's part.

Yes it was not well publicized.

Some people have said they got a push notification on the app.

But like the DVC one the previous day it seems it was random whether you did or not.

Maybe they wanted to put a rave vibe on it and only notified people in the neighborhood. With some of the short lived "entertainment" offerings the last few years it seems they want to trend younger/cooler

And locals with the pixie APs were blocked out anyway being the weekend.

I got a push notification on the app. The people in front of me in line said they were at the first showing that evening and were told by CM's, "if you're passholder and want to see the show again, go get a wristband."

Thanks for always keeping update to date with the show

It's my (current) favorite show so I always make time for it every night haha! Plus it was my comfort show (along with HEA) during college so it brings great memories

It hasn’t been mentioned here, is the 90stastic preshow music still used? Or have they changed the preshow loop?

It’s still the radio Disney / Disney stars covers of songs

First show (11/17 7:30pm):

• Laser projections are only partially back and working. Only 1/3 sets, the middle one, is working. If you go watch the Elsa segment from few nights ago and tonight, there isn't any projections on the entire mountain. Also during princess segments, no lasers on left and right side although center is working. So no, our long national nightmare isn't over..
• No pyro before flower segment (started yesterday).
• Sword pyro back to normal.
• Steamboat pyro pinwheels were perfect!
• Belle had an oopsie with her ribbon.
• Full show, right side (facing stage) filled up ~5 mins before show started.
