Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

Not sure how reliable, but it's probably true anyways. Pocahontas and John Smith on the steamboat are also probably being replaced.

The Brers have officially been retired so don’t expect them anywhere. John Smith was the equity stunt performer so don’t expect him. Pocahontas just depends on how they rework the tracks and what characters they ultimately want on the boat.

Deluxe evening hours starts at DHS on 4/13.

Is this is our new estimated timeline for Fantasmic!

Early April is as specific as I heard. But earlier than the 13th. It certainly could have slipped back to then.

But not February and not distanced, so…

I feel like they might incorporate Pocahontas at the end, if not just to pay homage to the previous scene, and to not appear as if they’re getting rid of “American Indian Representation” — I imagine Disney would be shrewd like that.

She's still an official Disney Princess so I wouldn't be surprised if they have her on the boat if not in the main show.

I dont get all the dislike for the Pocahontas scene, it was always done well and was exclusive to our Fantasmic, love that part of the music.

I was referring to the guests. No idea what the various unions will demand for cast and crew. That will depend on Covid in a couple months.

Puppies. So new Fantasmic! will cut the pyro and instead have golden retriever puppies leaping through the fountains to music.

I think by April you should be able to get the real show. Indiana Jones (also outdoors) is letting the cast interact and isn’t distancing them.

Reg BATB Finale as well!!! If we know WDW has a normal Health Green Light of course.

It would be nice to know if/when that's coming.......

I agree, I just don’t want something misconstrued. I’ve given up trying to make sense of entertainment decisions from this company. Some decisions feel rather arbitrary.

In any event, they are adding Elsa and she was a fan of social distancing before social distancing was a thing, so we can be sure she will stay two Svens away from all other cast members.

It was inexplicable.

All of a sudden... COLONIALISTS!!

Why?

It was the very definition of 'shoehorned.'

What was so fantasmic about it?

Mickey was dreaming about Mel Gibson and there’s a lot to unpack there but today isn’t the day.

It was the big hot new movie that was sure to be another smash hit and certainly not be overshadowed by that silly shakespear movie with lions...

It opened in 1998. Mulan, Hercules, and Hunchback were newer. Hercules would look fantastic on that mountain. And “Go the Distance” has become iconic for WDW in particular.
