Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[jrhwdw]

Can we please hold off the date until D23???? So we can have a quiet holiday weekend????

 

[Disney Analyst]

I can't imagine Fantasmic takes that long to rehearse, especially if they have returning cast?

The question is are they developing / workshopping the new scenes during rehearsal, or do that have it already plotted out?

Disney has confirmed Cast rehearsals have begun for Fantasmic! -



Edited to switch to the TikTok video as the Instagram version didn't seem to by unfolding correctly.

FYI 2 months of rehearsals is customary.

That's probably what they're doing. Would be wonderful if it returns the last week in September when I'm there.

I am going 2nd week of Nov (first time back to HS since it was brand new MGM in like 1990) and will be really disappointed if this isn't occurring by then. Given no official announcement or timeline, is it reasonable to expect this show will be 7 nights a week? Will they do once or twice I wonder? Given the past history?

I would expect 7 days a week, once a night ... But no guarantee

Weren't we thinking Months ago of a Busy Return, meaning more than once a night?

It’s an option.

Same!!

 

[Vacationeer]

Yes it does. That's why I said insiders are more favorable to it happening.

But I wouldn't plan my vacation around it.

I did. We arrive 10/29

Just a happy coincidence really. I’m reworking our schedule to see this twice and make up for lost time!

Possibly, maybe for the return and holiday seasons.

I know it is expensive to run and hard to get/keep entertainment staff so I wouldn't expect it, but maybe

Not happening sorry.

 

[jrhwdw]

Not happening sorry.

Is October 26th close?

 

[JohnD]

Not happening sorry.

Thanks. Well, it gives me clarity, anyway, and I won't have to rearrange my schedule.

@wdwmagic you said in your article there will be new fountains? Some say no some say yes .

I had been told so, but I will try to double check that.

My un-insider guess would be two shows a night during the return, and the busier times of year, with them settling into 1 show during the slower periods (similar to what they had before it’s closure).

If they can staff it, 2 shows through early January would make sense.

From one legit insider, we've been told "before Thanksgiving."

From an occasional hit and miss insider, backed up by a legit insider, we've been told Oct 26.

It takes two months of rehearsal and they were already begun last week. That takes us to the last week of October, of which, October 26 is situated.

So......

I went ahead and made a park reservation just in case. Can’t hurt, right?

Or, they will take 5 more months to rehearse and prepare, thus bringing us to February.
