Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[Disney Analyst]

And, it looks like the lights were hung with care in hopes that Mickey Mouse would soon again be there!

Yep! Can definitely see lighting is hung.

 

[TTA94]

Still unknown if moving fountain heads were added?

 

[ChristianG]

No sight of the canoes.

This is great news!

Have you heard anything about the other missing nighttime shows: Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, Once Upon a Time, or hopefully something at AK to replace RoL eventually?

Afraid not. They’ll only bring fireworks back to DHS if they think F! doesn’t provide enough capacity. I’m not convinced that will occur in 2022.

As for RoL, they really struggled to compel people to stay in DAK at night. I’m not sure how they can fix that without significant expansion that moves the park in a new direction. Not sure we want that.

But have you heard the good news about KiteTails?!

No. No, I haven't. Do tell...

I thought it was hilarious to watch. 10/10 would do again.

We've seen the "car crashes" of the kites. Haven't heard anything new...

 

[WondersOfLife]

Dang.. I was really hoping for a new backdrop. (Not sure why, of course.)

While they aren’t located in their normal docking areas, the canoes are still in the water as of the date and time the bioreconstruct photos were taken. (See photo below)

Ah, nice find.

Wonder what scene could use canoes?

Maleficent fighting Bob Chapek on a canoe

Maleficent fighting Bob Chapek on a canoe

I can’t wait for the climactic finale where she is blinded by her own reflection on top of his head, giving Chappie a window to destroy her under a pile of spreadsheets.

He'll defeat her with the fear of budget cuts

Oh she’s already been cut down to just the one wing. If guests on the left side of the amphitheater are upset, they are invited to purchase a $24 right-side ILL.

Honestly!!!!!! I don't think this helps!....

Oh I’ve helped plenty in this thread.

If Moana is being used, not hard to imagine a scenario to “We know the way” from the film. Technically, they have sailboats but wouldn’t be hard to imagine them taking some artistic liberty.

It would be very easy to convert. Just add a simple sail prop.

Are they going to have Maui in the show though? That’s the question. Personally, I would love a You’re Welcome dance number.

And in the category of things that would never happen, imagine an action sequence of Tamatoa and Maui getting his hook.

I don’t know actual content of segments. They are being tight-lipped, as they should be. They are changing out some rather dramatic scenes so I’m sure the replacements will have some real eye candy.

I’m excited for this. It’s one of the few improvements that the pandemic has brought and this show has needed this for a decade.
