Buckle up folks — the news you’ve all been waiting for is HERE.
Since the pandemic-related Disney World closures, Fantasmic! has not been available at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Last year, Disney shared that Fantasmic! would be returning in 2022Â and even announced some details about what it will look like when it returns. We then saw some things that might have indicated that construction at this spot was complete and the announcement that Cast Member rehearsals have begun was exciting as well. But Disney had not announced any more details about its reopening — until NOW!
Today Disney announced that 🎉 Fantasmic! will make its grand reappearance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios next month, in November 2022, and we CANNOT WAIT! 🎉 Disney hasn’t said yet specifically what day it will return, but it will be sometime in November.
If you’ve never seen it before, Fantasmic! is a nighttime spectacular that features live performers, some HUGE sets, special effects, pyrotechnics, music, and projections featuring fan-favorite Disney characters (including the main mouse himself, Mickey!).
But when Fantasmic! returns, it won’t be exactly the same as before. Disney has announced that one segment of the show will be entirely replaced. When it reopens, the show will feature some new characters, stunt performers, new animation, and more.
We can’t wait to see this show in all its glory once it makes its fantastic return to the park. We’ll be on the lookout for details about the specific return date and the potential return of Fantasmic! dining packages as well, though any details on that have yet to be announced. Be sure to check back with us for all the latest updates!

Thanks for the news!
So is it possible to buy seating for this without the meal package?
Also, do you know which restaurants will have the dinner and show package?
Robyn H says
Do we know if bluey and bingo are back for meet and greets at Hollywood studios yet?
Sara says
Do you think they will release an actual date by the end of this month? I hope so!
Rob says
Thank you! Have been waiting on news about this, I have never seen the show. Do you need special tickets or it’s just standby?? If standby do you need to get there like super early to be sure to secure a spot?? Also do they run multiple shows a night usually or it’s like the fireworks and you have to battle with the whole park lol. Thanks again!!

Tough to top what has already been done, it was a grind breaking show/attraction pre-pandemic.

AJ…Candidly, what are the chances of a “soft opening” on 10/31..or 11/01/2022?…the last two days of a planned five day trip?
