While I am no insider, this is what I know:
1.) It is not possible for DHS getting World of Color. I am going by what different insiders on this site mentioned in the past. I believe that is caused by size it.
2.) It is not possible for Fantasmic being turned into a land or a new attraction that isn't a show before 2020. My reasoning is the amount of time to get a rid of the bleachers and the land area of the show.
3.) If DHS is getting a new show, it would be something original that isn't in any other Disney theme park.
4.) It would make sense for Disney to do upgrades to Fantasmic since they have the Star Wars Fireworks show.

You've obviously never worked a demolition job. That entire theater could be leveled and ready for construction inside of 4 months. That said,I don't think the theater is going anywhere. There might be a new show developed for the theater and they might tweak the entry/exit pathways to open things up a bit but for now the theater is safe. If you want to look at a theater that has a questionable future look to theater of the stars which hosts beauty and the beast currently.

If anything happens to the show in the future, Update is waaay more likely then a full replacement. Of course, we're talking about something that has had no meaningful change in almost 20 years of operation outside a few clips switched out on the bubble montage filler.

Yet it still hits capacity every night that it's open.

Yup, every show is rumored to be updated at all times. Often right after it debuts. Always just around the corner.

My vote is a replacement. DHS' Fantasmic pales in comparison to DL's. Something wholly original to the park would do the trick. I also would be in support of a new land. But an amphitheater offering is unique and brings the crowds in.

I would be more than happy to have Fantasmic updated. I don't see it going away either- it packs in the people and is still popular (imagine the popularity if it were updated). If it is updated, perhaps make it slightly different than DL.

It's also a possibility that WDW will explode into flames tomorrow and never be rebuilt.
Don't get the mill churning with another nightly show at some point maybe being updated maybe sometime in the future if things don't change. Many of us have already ripping our hair out trying to figure out if/when Reflections of Earth will be leaving and/or if there are more significant upgrades/changes coming. I'm not sure if I can do another several years of juggling Fantasmic rumors at the same time!
That said, I'd love to see several elements of our show updated- but I sincerely hope our show isn't butchered in the way that Disneyland's now is. Sure, I love some of the updates that'll be arriving in 4 or 5 months, but it's not worth it for all of the awful direction changes Disneylands Fantasmic!! now has.

Is there a thread somewhere that discusses some logistical reason why DL's Fantasmic is so much better than ours? It's the one attraction where the DL version has made me not even return to ours. Their Space vs ours, their Pirates vs ours, Indy vs Dinosaur? Eh, ours have some of their own perks. But their fantasmic is epic, and ours is just such a letdown.

What do you think is their priority and next on their list for? Fantasmic, Illuminations or a nighttime parade for MK?

Once SWL is up and running the shows really should be the next priority for renovations and/or replacement to some of the older shows. I'd also love to see an IJ ride next to the stunt show especially since the next movie got pushed back to 2020 meaning if they re wanted to they could have something open by 2021 riding off of the (hopeful) success of the movie

I'm more worried about Fantasmic getting rid of Pocahontas & John Smith. I've been obsessed for over 20 years now with this couple, wanting them together instead of how it was in Pocahontas II. (Don't tell me I don't know history. I know the historical Pocahontas married the historical John Rolfe and not the historical John Smith, but I see the Disney's characters as just that--fictional CHARACTERS inspired by historical figures, therefore their lives can go in different directions.) Anyhoo, watching Disney's Pocahontas & John Smith together in Fantasmic makes me feel good.
Also, I heard Disneyland's Fantasmic was better, but I saw it on vacation and I thought it sucked in comparison to ours. Only three villains. No Pocahontas and John Smith.
