Hello, Christina! Thank you so much for coming to the Disney Parks Moms Panel for help in planning your magical vacation!
Fantasmic is a can’t miss part of
Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ nightly offerings. Your family is sure to be thrilled!
Fantasmic typically begins between 6pm and 9pm depending on the season. I see that you and your family are visiting in early May, and since it won’t be dark until about 8:30pm, that will most likely be the earliest Fantasmic is offered. At times of peak visitation at Walt Disney World, an additional show may be added, so please be sure to check show times either with your hotel concierge or a Cast Member that may greet you in the park. If you’re looking for some nighttime entertainment earlier in the evening, you might check for
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular showtimes to see if they suit your family.
Otherwise, when I want my very little kids to try for something as awesome as Fantasmic or
IllumiNations, we hit our hotel room hard for a nap, a snack and quiet time. This big break, along with a snack around showtime, helps a special nighttime treat come a little easier. I hope you simply adore the magic that comes along with Fantasmic and one of my favorite theme parks in the world! ~Lindsey P.
