We’re Celebrating the Return of Fantasmic!
The day has finally come and MickeyBloggers are all celebrating the return of Fantasmic! Hollywood Studio’s nighttime spectacular returns in full glory as Mickey turns nightmares into dreams nightly in the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. The park maps for Hollywood Studios have been updated to especially showcase it’s glorious return!
We all know what happened in March 2020… I won’t say the name again! With that, all of Walt Disney World shut down for it’s longest period ever. As reopening happened, Disney wisely did so in stages. Some elements have still not returned to WDW (let’s not talk about Dining Plans…).
This nighttime spectacular is the last to return of the major shows happening at Walt Disney World; mainly due to staffing issues. Simply put, Disney lacked the staffing necessary to operate the show while maintaining the character interactions elsewhere at the parks.
Fantasmic! is a show like no other at Disney. It incorporates music, fire and water elements, live actors, animatronics, moving sets, and more! Everyone, including MickeyBlog, has anxiously awaited the return of this fan-favorite show. When we heard rumors of casting, got word that rehearsals were taking place, and finally got a return date, we were thrilled. Cast Members got a special preview the last two nights and we can’t wait to see more Fantasmic! the excitement in the days and weeks to come.
If you’ve never seen Fantasmic! live, here’s a brief synopsis: Guests are invited to step into Mickey’s vivid imagination as he dreams a fantastic dream that is brought to live through dancing water screens and live character performers as they play out scenes and feature characters from some of the most beloved Disney films like Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and so many more.
Every dreamer knows that nightmares can creep up when they least expect them. Mickey soon falls victim to the taunts and threats of the famed Disney villains as they try to turn his dream into an overwhelming nightmare. Is Mickey strong enough and bright enough to overcome them? You’ve got to go see it to find out!
