Hello, Joanne!
Thanks for stopping by with a question for us today. Before you know it, you'll be surrounded by all the glitz and glamour of
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and I love that you're already thinking ahead to the evening entertainment.
Fantasmic! is one of my favorite shows at Walt Disney World Resort, so you've made a great choice to include it in your plans. I've had a soft spot for Sorcerer Mickey since I first saw
Fantasia as a child, and it's still just as special to see him in action all these years later. Now if only I could get his help with the brooms at home. Some imagination, huh?
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are being offered at Hollywood Studios on
September 30. Though you'll need to be a guest of an eligible Deluxe Resort to enjoy late-night fun in the park until 11 pm that day, you'll still be able to hear that iconic opening music at 9:30 pm with standard admission, as my pal
Lizzie explains here. Once the show is over, you'll be escorted to the park exit if you don't have an eligible hotel reservation.
I recommend grabbing a snack and maybe an adult beverage before making your way to the amphitheater. There is ample seating, but I'd plan to arrive early if you want a close-up view. Guests are permitted to enter up to 90 minutes before showtime, but my family usually aims for 20 minutes or so before the performance kicks off, and we've never had trouble finding a place to sit.
Joanne, I hope this helps. If you have additional questions ahead of your visit, please don't hesitate to come back and let us know! Wishing you a fantastic visit!
Magic and memories,
Amy
