Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Paola! Thank you for stopping by to bring us your question.
Paola, it sounds like your friend might have been visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios during a special ticketed event. Throughout the year, the Walt Disney World Resort offers special events that require an event ticket. When these events are scheduled, the theme park will have special operating hours to accommodate the event. These events will be posted in the schedule, so you can be sure to plan accordingly.
As long as there are no special events happening during your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, your family will absolutely be able to enjoy
Fantasmic! during your visit. To check those schedules, visit the website and on the tab that says Parks and Tickets you will see a link that says
More Hours. Visit that page and enter your dates so you can see all the park hours and plan all your magical adventures during your visit. If you don’t see your dates posted yet, check closer to the 6-moth mark and they should be posted.
I hope this helps answer your question! Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to come see us again with any additional questions or for additional planning tips.
See ya real soon,
Emille
