Fantasmic! is a nighttime show performed at Disneyland Park in Disneyland and Hollywood Studios in Disney World. The premise of the show is that Mickey is transported into a dream where he dances along with music, lighting effects, and pyrotechnics. Various characters and scenes from popular Disney movies are part of the sequence as well.

The show takes a bad turn as Mickey is asked to enter the darker realms of his imagination. Maleficent turns out to be the mastermind behind the trap as she wishes to take over Mickey’s dream. Various villains are part of this sequence as he fights the evil dragon.

The overall story is the same for both Disneyland and Disney World, with a only a few minor differences involving the show scenes. Overall, the show is so amazingly done. The storyline has plenty of excitement and drama, and the visual features will keep your attention

A fire broke out unexpectedly during last Saturday night’s showing of Fantasmic! in Disneyland. Fire is used each night during the show, and it is usually a well-controlled special effect.

However, during Saturday night’s performance, during Mickey’s fight with the dragon, something unexpected occurred. The Maleficent dragon caught fire, and flames eventually engulfed it.

Disneyland Park Cast Members acted to evacuate the show as well as the surrounding areas. The Anaheim Fire Department responded to the scene as well. It looks as if substantial damage has occurred.

They released a statement about how the show will be affected, which you can read HERE.

Previously, the Disneyland website said the show would go on as normal this coming weekend. However, that is no longer the case.

Now, Disneyland confirms Fantasmic! is paused through at least May 14. “We know our guests love and miss Fantasmic, and Disneyland Resort teams are working hard to assess when we can bring back an adjusted show as quickly and safely as possible,” a Disneyland official said.

Fantasmic! runs on the weekends only and then moves to a nightly calendar during peak seasons.
