‘Fantasmic!’ Returning November 3

10/19/2022

“Welcome to Fantasmic! ...” We are so excited to announce that “Fantasmic!” returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 3rd!  Back and better than ever, the larger-than-life, open-air nighttime musical will have live performers, stunning effects, rousing music and dazzling pyrotechnics and a brand-new show sequence!

“Through this entire sequence, we go on a journey with our heroes. We see them faced with a decision, and how hard that can be for them, then watch as they find that strength within themselves to push through in a truly spectacular way,” says Disney Live Entertainment Show Director, Matthew Hamel.

And spectacular it is. The new heroes sequence features a high-energy Aladdin chase with stunts never before seen on the “Fantasmic!” stage, a powerful scene with Elsa set to the song  “Show Yourself” that is sure to thaw the most frozen of hearts, and stirring moments with Pocahontas, Moana and Mulan. Fun fact: To help choreograph the authentic Chinese martial arts you’ll see in Mulan’s scene, the creative team brought in Mimi Chan – the original muse and model animators used when bringing the character of Mulan to life for the 1998 animated film.

“We know this show means so much to people, and we’ve kept that in mind every step of this journey.” says Disney Live Entertainment Producer, Laurice Marier. “Even beyond the new scene, we’ve taken this time to upgrade the lasers, the lighting, the sound, all to bring this show back even more beautiful than it’s ever been. We’re all really just so excited for guests to see it.”

So, will the powers of Mickey's incredible imagination still be strong enough, and bright enough, to withstand the evil forces that invade Mickey's dreams? You are about to find out!

Make it a dinner and a show!  Dining packages for select restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be available for Fantasmic! Dining Package performances November 30th and beyond.
