Wow, how useless
There's no point in this announcement if they don't give out dates.Especially since it doesn't run every night (edit: i could have sworn it didnt run every night at one point, but turns out this was long long ago) and we need to choose what specific day to go to HS

Oh, I thought I recalled going to the park once (before pandemic) and needing to adjust the schedule to make sure I went to HS on a day with f! running. Can't recall if it was in 2016 or 2018. I'll edit my reply

This actually just got me anxious, was F! Only certain nights ? If so was it random or specific nights or is this wrong info?
It was like that some time ago. Thinking 2009 or 2010 or so. It was nightly for some time again before the pandemic hit.
But yeah, this was a stupid announcement. Probably trying to change the subject from yesterday's price hikes.

Oh, I'm glad I wasn't completely misremembering
But this makes me happier, maybe they'll bring it back every day then!

I don’t think even TDO is foolish enough to not make this a nightly event when it returns.
No Problem, thanks! F! did do select nights around 2009-2011 I think?

I was in ICP during this time period, in HS no less, so maybe that's why i had such a strong impression it wasn't every day!

In January 2009, Disney tested doing Fantasmic! only twice a week. The best part? Performed only on Mondays and Thursdays, one show per day.
Then sometime in February 2009, and after the complaints it was bumped up to 3 nights a week. WDWMagic noted at the time standing room was filled an hour before showtime and 45 mins lines at Guest Relations because guests were being turned away at the entrance.
During the summer months it performed on Sundays, Tuesday, Thursday. It went back down to twice a week on off-peak times. It flip flopped between these two schedules throughout those years.
Sometime after the Jan/Feb 2012 refurbishment, daily performances resumed in March 2012 everyday up until it closed for the parks-wide closure in March 2020.

Do they really need a media event on how great the show is in a pre written report?!? Just open the show up so people can enjoy it & give them a reason to actually stay at HS later than normal…. They act like this is some brand new show yea i get its updated etc with new scenes but the show itself really isnt new. Open this up when ready & cut the PR bs

I was actually disappointed when it went back to nightly performances because I missed being able to pick low crowd days at DHS.In January 2009, Disney tested doing Fantasmic! only twice a week. The best part? Performed only on Mondays and Thursdays, one show per day.

I don't think Media Nights are a Bad thing, Unless they have trouble getting a Media Date before the Public can see it.
Christmas comes Nov 8-11th at WDW, so Media might already be in town...perfect time for F! to get Coverage and finally reopen!....

Terrible part of F! being performed 2x a week is if the show is cancelled weather related, the guests are out of luck if that particular day at DHS is at tail end or last day of their vacation.In January 2009, Disney tested doing Fantasmic! only twice a week.

Disneyland is going/already gone to weekend only performances of F! However, Disneyland is also quite a different animal than HS.

Have a trip to HS planned for Satruday 12/10. If this show is running that day im praying its available for LL or Genie+ because i DO NOT want to queue up 2 hours early to try and see the show. With everyone hopping over from other parks, that will be a complete cluster!

Yeah Disneyland is usually weekends only for Fantasmic this time of year, same with fireworks.
It will likely ramp up again during holiday season, then back down, then back up for spring break, then everyday for summer.
