You Have to See the MASSIVE Fantasmic! Crowds to Believe Them in Disney's Hollywood Studios

Fantasmic! is FINALLY back in Disney World!

Fantasmic!

The show is reopening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios tonight, and we’re sure there will be a lot of people trying to check it out. We’ve already gotten a preview of the show (well most of it before it was RAINED OUT), and there’s a whole new sequence to watch. So, is the park crowded on the day of the show’s return? Let’s find out!

Throughout the day, we saw groups of people lining up at the entrance hoping to get in line for the show. This photo was taken around 4:30PM.

A Cast Member told us that guests would need to wait until the Beauty and the Beast show theater was cleared. After that they would be able to start the lineup process. They said once this happened, guests would be able to start lining up around 6:15-6:30. BUT, they ended up starting the line early instead.

This is what it looked like at 5:40PM.

They ended up just having the line crowd on the right side of the street to try to keep everything a bit more in order. And we soon were moved up to Sunset Ranch Market. Here was our view at 6PM.

And soon after, they opened the amphitheater for guests waiting for the show.

On opening night, there were two showings of Fantasmic!. One at 8PM and one at 9:30PM. So, as you can see, a massive line formed well before the show.

Around 7, the amphitheater filled up.
