Change to Hollywood Studios Fantasmic! show

Don’t miss this change to one of Disney’s most popular shows happening now.

Fantasmic!

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.

This is a fan-favorite show since 1998 when it debuted. It is also the longest running nighttime show in the four main theme parks. See why we love it so much in this post.

What’s Changing?

Usually, Fantasmic! runs twice each night during busy seasons and once a night during slower seasons. This is so more people can view the show. Even though the theater is massive, having two shows during busier periods is very helpful.

Now that Memorial Day is over, Fantasmic! is now down to one show per night through the summer. One would think it would be opposite. In previous years, summer is usually a very busy time. However, this summer is predicted to be the opposite.

Fantasmic! show times have changed to 9:15pm until July 16. The previous show time was 9:00pm. Be sure to arrive early since there’s only one show. One great thing about it being later is guests will be able to exit at the park entrance.

The Fantasmic! showtime is 9:15pm each evening this summer. On July 16 the showtime will go back to 9:00.
