Fantasmic! is about to change at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Check out this change and see our tips to enjoy this show.

Fantasmic!

One thing that sets Disney Parks apart from other Theme Parks is the amazing entertainment. Every night, guests at Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT can enjoy amazing shows as the sun sets.

The nighttime show Fantasmic! is a story where Mickey is transported into a dream. He dances along with music, lighting effects, and pyrotechnics. Various characters and scenes from popular Disney movies are part of the sequence as well.

Since it first debuted in 1998 at what was then MGM Studios, it has seen many changes throughout the years. The most recent big change was in 2022 when it finally reopened with new scenes.

Fantasmic is located in a large amphitheater, but quickly fills up and on occasion reaches capacity. This can be quite disappointing to guests.

On dates when higher crowds are expected, Fantasmic! often adds an additional showtime. For example, this summer, guests visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios have enjoyed 2 showtimes at 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm.

Now, guests can enjoy even more opportunities to enjoy Fantasmic!.

Earlier we shared that Fantasmic! will offer 3 showtimes on December 27th and now even more showtimes are added for more dates. On December 31, January 2nd, and January 3rd, Fantamsic! will offer 3 showtimes.

Fantasmic! will have 3 showtimes on four key dates.

Our favorite tip for Fantasmic! is to plan for the third showtime for lighter crowds. We suggest lining up early for Fantasmic! Guests are allowed to line up starting 90 minutes before showtime. While there are many great spots to view this show, lining up early will ensure that you can enter the amphitheater.
