Fantasmic Changes Soon at Hollywood Studios
You will want to plan for this new change coming to Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
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! Tips
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, Disney may add additional Fantasmic! showtimes. For example, Fantasmic! offered 3 showtimes on select nights the week after Christmas.
Beginning March 9th, Fantasmic! is offered most nights at 8:30 pm (showtimes subject to change).
New Fantasmic! Change
Looking ahead for the next several weeks, the showtime remains at 8:30 pm. However, we see an interesting shift in April.
Fantasmic will offer later showtimes starting on April 24, 2026.
Starting on April 24, 2026, Fantasmic! will shift to a 9:00 pm showtime. This is one of our favorite nighttime shows for many reasons, but one of the best is that Guests can sit and enjoy this great show.
