Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[Surferboy567]

Full dress rehearsal.

I do wonder if they’ll have updated the pyro.

Any updates on this? Has anyone seen this or is it closed off?

Looks like a full showing tonight.

For the exec retreat?

They needed to give judgements on if the show needs more budget cuts.

I don't call a longer F! budget cuts...............

They could always replace Mickey with a head on a stick with curtains for the rest. Worked well elsewhere in the show.

Cast member previews?

This past Fri there was a lottery for CMs

Tues Nov 1st 9:30pm preview for HS CMs and up to 3 guests

Wed Nov 2nd 9:30pm preview for other CMs and up to 3 guests

Thurs Nov 3 goes live with 2 showings, 8pm and 9:30pm, and hopefully I’m in one of those audiences!

A heads up to anyone planning for early December.

DHS is showing an early close on Dec 4th with no Fantasmic scheduled. Presumably either a CM celebration event or a buyout.

At what time will reservations for the dining package start tomorrow?

No one ever knows when these things will drop.

Darn. I was getting ready for a 6am release or similar

Just a few things to monitor, on the eve of F! dining packages:

• Maybe get details on Genie+ today?
• Disney still hasn't updated their daily calendar yet to include Fantasmic! on the rolling schedule: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/c...ingdom,hollywood-studios,epcot,magic-kingdom/
• Wonderful World of Animation last day on the calendar is 10/31. I wonder if they will run both shows as they have done in times past.

Akershus opened sometime between 7 am and 8 am yesterday.

That’s the most likely. But I also expect the system to crash.

I have a family member with DAS and another with a wheelchair. Given we were planning on (and already booked) Holiday Dine anyway, can I have opinions on whether or not it's worth trying to get the dining package?

What is the con exactly? I've always been a fan of these packages if I already want to eat in the restaurant. Why not also get a seat for the show so I don't have to arrive super early?

I would expect Fantamic! will be extremely popular and sell out nightly with just one show.

I guess it depends on whether Fantasmic is eligible for a DAS return time.

Your existing dinner package won’t include passes for Fantasmic, so if you want guaranteed seating you’ll need to try and rebook. But you won’t be able to book a dining time within an hour of your existing one.

The cons are mainly needing to rebook and the extra cost. I realize it's not a lot, but I'd just rather not spend it if it isn't necessary.

Yeah, I know I'll need to rebook, sadly. That's why I'm kinda hoping not to do it since I felt very relieved to have gotten the normal meal to begin with. Thankfully we're pretty flexible on the time since we're staying for the show.


I guess it's kind of a catch twenty two where we won't have DAS information until after the reservation drop.

Thanks for the replies, I guess I'm looking to book. I can always change my mind later.
