Of these. few attractions are as beloved as Disney’s “Fantasmic!” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort.

The show, which had been temporarily closed until November 3, 2022, has been incredibly successful in its return and has had audiences cheering and on their feet in celebration of the show coming back to the Disney Park.
