Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[Richie248]

So curious is Dining Packages will return, there is ZERO availability for any of the Studios restaurants during my early December visit. I'm usually able to find something. Wondering if they are holding back inventory for dining packages or it's truly more busy than I think it's going to be!? Probably the latter....

It’s been like that for months, this is not news.

It’s news to some people. Call it the global warming of Walt Disney World.

The map was updated in January 2021, but I believe reverted back at some point in between.

I knew we talked about that Map Icon before. Well, if DHS did remove it....then this is Good News!

We really don't need to be looking for hope from maps etc. Everything is going fine and Fant is going to be back very soon.

1) This isn't the park map, which DID remove Fant theater
2) Disney never removed Fant from the digital map (although they have had various pieces of art during the closure)

There is nothing new or changed in the screenshot in the tweet. This person simply doesn't know what they're talking about

I'm thinking DHS won't get a new Guidemap until F! returns?

Really soon as within the next 2/3 weeks?

Stuff like this will start to give Twitter a bad reputation!

Can confirm. My records show the theater was never removed from the digital map.

That being said, the theater on the digital map was updated in Dec of 2020 to this:

Then in April of 2021, that change was undone, reverting the design to what it was previously (which is what we see today):

At no time did I notice it leave the digital map entirely, though.

Besides coming here to check should those of us who will be looking to pounce on a dinner package and have trips in a few weeks be checking MDE every day?

It will be announced whenever those packages return with a specific date when they'll go on sale (and crash MDE while simultaneously selling out...).

If we're voting on the map icon, the top one is prettier looking

Going to be honest, I kept looking at the second picture thinking "why is there sand in the water?" and then I suddenly realized it was supposed to be flames.

New scene will contain Aladdin, Elsa, Pocahontas, Moana, and Mulan.
Also glad they're using "Show Yourself" instead of "Let It Go" or "Into The Unknown"..

And spectacular it is. The new heroes sequence features a high-energy Aladdin chase with stunts never before seen on the “Fantasmic!” stage, a powerful scene with Elsa set to the song “Show Yourself” that is sure to thaw the most frozen of hearts, and stirring moments with Pocahontas, Moana and Mulan. Fun fact: To help choreograph the authentic Chinese martial arts you’ll see in Mulan’s scene, the creative team brought in Mimi Chan – the original muse and model animators used when bringing the character of Mulan to life for the 1998 animated film.
