Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[IMDREW]

And lots of projection mapping I presume?

I’m so excited, I’ve never seen the show as I had to leave the park early on my 2019 visit when I wasn’t feeling well. Looks like I’ll be seeing it this September if all goes well!

Do we know what nights Fantasmic is playing yet? It's my best friend's favorite attraction at Disney, and I want to make sure we book our Studios Day in October for one that has Fantasmic.

I think it's safe to assume that it'll be performed nightly. Whether there will only be one or multiple performances depends on the date/crowds.

I don't think there's ever been a time that F! only performed select nights (seasonally) at DHS, except from last minute cancellations from wind, weather, etc.

During draconian times, it was cut to two showings, 3 nights per week.

Wow! It was only Mondays, Wednesday, and Thursdays, not even weekends...

And it was an utter disaster as DHS was a ghost town four nights a week.

I would be surprised if there wasn't any. They put projection mapping into anything they can these days and the mountain makes for a decent canvas.

Actually we would choose those nights to go because everything was a walk on. We were APs but the lack of crowds were very predictable.

Is Bret Iwan going to re-record Mickey's lines for this show's update similar to the current version at Disneyland? Or is Wayne Allwine's lines going to be kept.

I get the feeling we’ll get the updated voice tracks.

Disney usually only re-records voice talent if they have new lines. Since Mickey was given new lines in the 2017 update, Bret was called in to replace Wayne entirely (Though there were plans to keep Wayne's "Some imagination, huh?" as a tribute, those seem to have fallen through as it is definitely Bret in the final version). Corey Burton was brought in to re-record the Magic Mirror, and the other OG voices were kept as they were, the lines edited as necessary.

I assume, if the WDW update is like Disneyland's, that we'll see a similar situation when the show premieres.

No sight of the canoes.

Move 'em to Frontierland.

These two were at Disneyland last night and I see no reason why WDW can't use them more often.

I hope they don't add the extra giggles/laughs Mickey has in the intro. Also the choreography should remain the same as if he's conducting...not waving his hands!!

Those…grunts? Are weird.

Grunts, giggles, laughs....it's unbearable/cringy every time I watch F! 2.0.

Wait Bianca and Bernard were at Disneyland very recently? How did I miss that? The last time those two were out was during the early days of "Disneyland Parade of the Stars" way back in 2000.

I remember Marie was present at the Tokyo Disneysea version of the show.
