Welcome back to planDisney, Laurie! Your magical vacation will be here before you know it, and I'm sure you're excited to finish your
countdown and start your adventures at the Walt Disney World Resort this holiday season!
Laurie,
Fantasmic! is my favorite nighttime spectacular - it combines laser effects, pyrotechnics, and a host of your favorite Disney characters on an epic journey to battle against evil and display the power of imagination! Our hero, Mickey Mouse himself, dazzles and awes audiences with his bravery and triumphs during this amazing show! The great news, Laurie, is that Fantasmic! is usually staged at
Disney's Hollywood Studios twice nightly (generally around 8 PM and again at 9:30 PM, but these times are subject to change), but on nights when Hollywood Studios is rolling out the red carpet for
Disney Jollywood Nights, Fantasmic! is on the schedule for 6:30 PM so that guests not attending the party will still be able to watch the show before the park closes for the party at 7 PM. To verify showtimes as well as party dates during your visit, check out the
Park Hours & Events Calendar online!
With your
Fantasmic! Dining Package, you'll have guaranteed seating for the show, so just be sure to arrive at least 25 minutes before show time at the entrance, which is on Sunset Boulevard next to the entrance to Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage. The show does fill up, so I would personally recommend getting there closer to 45 minutes before showtime so you have time to get settled and maybe grab a snack or a drink to enjoy while you watch! My panelist pal
Lizzie always recommends grabbing the Buffalo Chicken Bowl from
Fairfax Fare to enjoy during the event!
Laurie, I hope this helps, and I hope you have a magical holiday visit and love Fantasmic! as much as I do! If you have any other planning questions before your vacation, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We hope to see you again real soon!
Happy Holidays,
Alison
