In a social media post, Disney Guests shared that they are torn about what the new show might entail.Guest have complained about when it returns that it will not be the same great Fantasmic! show that they’ve come to love.
“It says its returning with “exciting new magic”. They are probably going to be doing something else. Doubt it will be as good as the actual dragon but hopefully not as bad as B mode.
Like you said, it wouldn’t take 8 months otherwise.”
Several other Guests talk about how Maleficent made the show and they are unsure how to feel when Fantasmic! opens back up.
At this time, Fantasmic! at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios remains unaffected by the closure or the changes being made, so Guests will still be able to see Maleficent there.
What are your thoughts on Fantasmic! changes?
