Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[gerarar]

Even though they didn’t update the fountains, the way they’re using the pre-existing fountains looks amazing

Kinda glad they utilize the fountains that circle the moat throughout the show now. It was only ever used in Malificient's defeat and the finale. Now they're using it throughout the show, and what seems to be in combination with lasers? Very pretty!

Glad they at least reprogrammed the fountains if we couldn't get upgraded ones.

Oh wow wow wow!! It's been a really long time since something from WDW has brought tears to my eyes. But seeing that moment again where Mickey disappears from the mountain and reappears at the bottom with his famous "Some imagination, huh?!" line was just what I needed tonight. This is the Disney magic I know and love. So happy to see some semblance of it is back.

Aside from new lights along the stage and along the moat, there's also new lighting on the mountain itself.

I'm all for the changes, but I'm going to miss the randomness of someone calling out: "...It's John Smith!"

This new version looks great, love how refreshed things look. When Disney actually tries, they always knock it out the park!

This live is currently in the amphitheatre, awaiting the show. 1 hour to go I believe.

I'm curious to see whether they still use the original exit music or using Tokyo DisneySea Fantasmic Imagination song as their new post-show music. If they replaced the exit music with defunct TDS post-show, it will be the first time the song will hear stateside.

New Frozen and Moana segments looked great! Mulan felt a little clunky, Aladin was just a reskin of the Pocahontas segment. New lighting looks REALLY good!

This…….THIS is the way you reimagine a classic tastefully! It’s rare to say this lately, but KUDOS to the cast, and everyone behind this update!
While I’d have liked new fountain heads and higher definition projection, this is an absolute win in my book!

I would really like for Frozen and/or Moana to not be added to at least one thing.

New Frozen and Moana segments looked great! Mulan felt a little clunky, Aladin was just a rocking of the Pocahontas segment. New lighting looks REALLY good!

If they added more than two people for Mulan I think it would feel a lot better. Stage felt super empty during the segment

Pretty solid update in my opinion, I enjoyed the new scene.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Finally, a nighttime spectacular I want to see!

They have really improved the visuals. Fantastic job!

And we kept our postshow music.

IMO, the finale theme still retain the original Disneyland finale, which itself had been replaced with new reorchestrated finale. Previously, we expecting the DL reorchestrated finale and TDS Imagination song be appeared for reimagined DHS version.

WOW!!!!!!!!

Would have liked a little more Finale Pyro(behind Mickey and the Mountian like Pre COVID) but YES!!!!!!!

DHS Did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The prophecy is fulfilled. Almost a full year later.

Disney hungry for Tramps!

First princes and male consorts, and now, Trampoline Wall stunt actors. What's happening at WDW? https://jobs.disneycareers.com/auditions Tag: @wdwmagic
