If you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you certainly don’t want to miss out on all the great entertainment you can find in that park. Our top recommendations include Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure, and Beauty and the Beast — Live On Stage.
Fantasmic!
Of course, we also ALWAYS recommend Hollywood Studios’ nighttime show, Fantasmic! which is (in my opinion) one of the best shows in Disney World. However, if you’re visiting Hollywood Studios in the next few months, we have to tell you about a big change coming to Fantasmic!
Fantasmic! will be changing its performance time, starting on March 8th. Right now, the show is currently being performed at 9:30 PM, but on March 8th, the show will go on an hour earlier, at 8:30 PM. So if you have plans on catching the show on or after that date, don’t miss out on thinking it’s at 9:30!
Fantasmic!
Fantasmic! features effects, stunts, pyrotechnics, projections, fountains, and music to create a HUGE show that showcases the battle of good vs. evil. It’s a must-see that includes some of your favorite Disney characters like Moana, Mulan, Anna, Elsa, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Lion King, Mickey Mouse, and more. It also has a HUGE finale with Mickey battling Maleficent the dragon (our favorite part of the show!).
Fantasmic!
If you don’t want to wait in line to visit the show, you can book a Fantasmic! dining package at one of Hollywood Studios’ participating restaurants, which includes a meal and a voucher for reserved seating for the show.
We’ll keep an eye out for other changes happening in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB to stay updated.
