Hiya Cyndi - welcome back to
planDisney!
I'm so glad to see you back with another question for our team of panelists - it sounds like we must be helpful to you!
I haven't hEARd or seen any news about
Fantasmic! at
Disney's Hollywood Studios not being available during your trip, however, Walt Disney World Resort usually doesn't post
Theme Park Hours and showtimes for Special Events until 60 days in advance. This is probably why you aren't seeing anything past late January. These hours and showtimes should be updated for your trip soon, so keep checking back. Also, please note that showtimes for Fantasmic! have been adjusted for some dates as Cast Members work to meet Guest demand. For this reason, I recommend stopping by and checking on showtimes just before your trip as well to see if anything has changed.
For
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, offerings have only been posted through February 1st. Currently, these have been offered on Mondays at
EPCOT and Wednesdays at
Magic Kingdom Park. Two evenings are being offered at Hollywood Studios in December, but nothing is scheduled yet there for January. One reason for this may be that Hollywood Studios is offering
Disney After Hours events throughout the early part of next year. These are separately ticketed night events where Guests can enjoy three hours in the park complete with treats, special offerings, and the benefit of fewer Guests and thus reduced wait times for attractions.
So, long story short, I wouldn't count Fantasmic! out for your trip in February, but you may need to wait a bit for official showtimes to be posted. The same goes for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. I'm sure once the craziness of the holidays gets under control we'll start to see more planning tools and information for the early part of next yEAR!
