    Hi there, I was looking at park hours and showtimes to plan our trip. HS fantasmic show was scheduled for 9pm and 10:30pm. Even though the park shuts at 9pm. Is this a mistake? No special ticket events were on. Thanks

    Hi Aaron!

    Welcome back to planDisney! And thank you for making us a go-to resource as you plan your Disney vacation!

    The showtimes and park hours are always subject to change, so I would check back as your trip gets a little closer. 

    The Hours & Events Calendar usually updates about 2 months in advance. At that time, you should get a pretty good idea of what to expect when it comes to timing! But I’ve found that sometimes showtimes and park hours will change even once our trip is only a week or two away. So, it’s always good to double-check. 

    If Fantasmic is high on your priority list, you may want to consider booking a Fantasmic Dining Package during your time at Hollywood Studios. Not only will you get to choose from several popular restaurants around the park for your meal, but you’ll also get VIP seating for Fantasmic later that night. I always love the fact that my seating area is ready for me so that I can spend a little bit of extra time enjoying the park before heading to the show! 

    And speaking of enjoying the park! Don’t miss the two brand new shows at Hollywood Studios: The Little Mermaid–A Musical Adventure and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After. They’re high on my must-do list for my next trip because I haven’t had a chance to see them yet. But I’ve heard great things about both shows!

    I hope that helps! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, feel free to come back and visit us!
