After years of silence, the nighttime spectacular Fantasmic! is one step closer to making its triumphant return to the Walt Disney World Resort.
According to Disney Parks’ social media, Cast Rehearsals have finally begun at the amphitheater inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
@disneyparks We’ve been waiting for this one…Cast rehearsals have begun 👀 #Disney #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #HollywoodStudios #DisneyCastLife #Fantasmic
At the time of this article’s publication, it is still unclear when exactly Fantasmic! will open the theater doors to Guests once again. One could also begin to speculate whether or not a special Lightning Lane section will be added.
Fantasmic! was shuttered along with the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over two years later, it remains one of the few shows yet to return, while its counterpart at Disneyland Park has already made its return.
But this most likely will not be the same Fantasmic! Guests have seen in years past. We at Disney Fanatic recently covered that a new version of the show featuring more Disney Princesses will debut upon its return. Click the link below to read our previous coverage.
