Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[wdwfan22]

Walt Disney World is starved for quality nighttime entertainment right now. It's no surprise there's a huge crowd for this one.

I bet there is no line tomorrow night. It's like this for any first/returning performance. Everyone has to be first. Tomorrow night you'll walk right in.

There will be a line. Fantasmic has always drawn lines (crowds) because unlike Enchantment or Harm (and their predecessors) you don’t need to get into a physical queue to experience them

The glow stick carts will make so much bank tonight - Bob is pleased

I thought the same, people won’t be lining up hours early like the first show but it’ll go back to its normal 15-30 minute line.

I've been going for years. There is a line when they open for seating but 75% of the time you could always walk in about 20 minutes before showtime without a problem and be seated.

I really wish they would have trimmed the villains back for our 2.0. The three featured in the new poster plus the Evil Queen would have been fine.

Snake Eves' Lights work tonight!

Glad it's back but wouldn't want to be there tonight in the middle of that chaos. I can wait.

No pyro from Mickey's sword, and pinwheels on the boat didn't come on.

Great first public showing tonight, but a few miscues in the first show

Mickey's swords pyro off when defeating Malificient dragon.
Pyro pinwheels on steamboat was off

Although snake headlights were on!

Currently in line for RotR. It is as posted as 50 min when we joined it at 7:36 We looked at the line fir the 9:30 show at 7:10p (the 8p show by then was basically full) and decided the 2.5 hour wait wasn’t worth it. We have watched some live stream of the show while in line here.

True but I guess that's minor..... A leaping Standing O at the end!!!!!!!!!

No clue if that's only a first night thing but the engery is still in the theatre during the Exit Song!

The end of the stand-by queue for the 9:30 showtime is at Celebrity 5 & 10.

 

[TTA94]

Can’t say im impressed either. It’s not bad but there was way more that could have and should have been updated especially given the timeframe the show was down for. Disneylands version is still way better visually.

 

[jrhwdw]

No way this is 9:30!!!!!! The line is not moving it looks like. Shouldn't DHS announce F! is delayed til 10???

 

[DisneyfanMA]

Any idea what time the last people to join the standby line actually made it inside for the 8pm show? If one lined up at 7 was that good enough?

 

[jrhwdw]

F! delayed till 9:45..

I don't want to wear out the F! cast but DHS really should be 3 Shows a night!

Keep in mind this was opening night -

"The 6900 seat Hollywood Hills Amphitheater was filled by 6:45pm, with standing room at capacity by 7:00pm."

Huge crowds greet the return of Fantasmic! at Walt Disney World

Thousands of guests lined the streets of Disney's Hollywood for more than three hours ahead of the return of Walt Disney World's Fantasmic!

Apparently these (re-)opening day commemorative posters were given to media, HS CM's, VIPs, etc.
