The Fantasmic show has delighted Guests since 1992 (with its closure in 2016). This show has remained closed since the reopening of the parks.

In November 2021, we shared that Fantasmic will be returning in 2022. Disney shared that Fantasmic will reopen with a few changes. The new Fantasmic show will feature “new animation, water effects, and everything that we love about Fantasmic.” Be sure to check out the details for these new show scenes HERE.

Last month, we shared that Fantasmic! took a BIG step toward reopening. We also shared a rumored reopening date for Fantasmic! Now we may have an official announcement very soon for the reopening of Fantasmic!

Next month, Disney fans look forward to the largest Disney fan event in the world, the D23 Expo. It includes Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, Television, Streaming, Theme Parks, Products, Online, Music, and Live Entertainment, just to name a few. Be sure to look for a possible reopening announcement on this date.

Today, Disney Parks shared this on their Instagram page:

The lights are on and cast rehearsals have officially started for Fantasmic! This is HUGE in the return of this great nighttime show. We hope to have an official reopening date very soon.
