Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[jrhwdw]

Might we not get anything tonight because of weather??

Once this comes back, what are the chances they'd do two shows on some nights like they used too?

 

[jrhwdw]

I know the weather hasn't been friendly this weekend but are we still close to Testing?

So the thing I saw indicated lasers would be part of the testing. Is that new? Could that be a type of projection mapping?

No these where the standard show spots. Not to be confused with the dinky ones on top of the Chinese Theater.

Random question: in WDW, Mickey appears as himself through the years (which is brilliant). Which version of Mickey is it that yields the sword and slays the dragon? I thought it was Jack and the Beanstalk but the colors are different.

Further, is that outfit/sword exclusive to WDW? DL’s Fantasmic just keeps Sorcerer Mickey and he kills the dragon with magic. Theirs feels anticlimactic. Hopefully the sword stays one’s WDW’s reopens.

I’ve seen both versions in person and while DL’s is superior with show elements and tech, WDW’s is a much better storyline. It has a better build and payoff.

It’s the Brave Little Tailor in the Dragon scene at WDW.

I agree with you about Disneylands version, not a fan of those changes they made a few years ago to it. I’ll be curious to see what they do out here when it reopens.

That’s it! Thank you so much.

I prefer Sorcerer Mickey battling the dragon. That’s how it should be IMO and WDW has always advertised F! with Sorcerer Mickey, not Brave Little Tailor. So I for one hope they switch to Sorcerer Mickey.

Thats such a crappy part of the show though tbh. The best part of Fantasmic is seeing Sorcerer Mickey appear on top of the mountain ala Fantasia during the finale. I guess I can see why it works in California but it would be an inferior addition to our show here.

 

[celluloid]

Agreed. I hope it stays sword and then sorcerer Mickey up top. It comes about as an earned thing and the brave little tailor makes sense at defeating the dragon with his imagination, but that's just me.

Sorcerer Mickey with the Dragon has been all over DL's Marketing Stuff since F! Opened and same ever since, same with DHS. So, how did Brave Little Taylor get into F! in the first place?????

Absolutely agree. DL’s is anticlimactic now and it ruins seeing Sorcerer Mickey pop up on top of the mountain. It’s definitely less impactful.
