5. Fantasmic!
What do you get when you combine water fountains, projections, pyrotechnics, live entertainers, a terrible nightmare, Steamboat Willie and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice? None other than the amazing nighttime spectacle at Disney’s Hollywood Studios—Fantasmic!This nighttime show replaced the previous “Sorcery in the Sky” nighttime spectacular. The story is all about the power of imagination—and Mickey apparently has a very vivid one! Mickey has a nightmare, and it just seems to keep going! Scenes from over 17 Disney feature films are shown as projections against screens of mist, and Mickey also encounters several Disney villains—Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Scar, Hades and more. He must battle Maleficent, the villain in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, who morphs into a huge fire-breathing dragon—4 stories tall! We won’t tell you how the show ends, but you and your family will find yourselves wondering whether Mickey will wake up from his nightmare before it’s too late! The ending is out of this world! You’ll stand up and cheer as Mickey (the Steamboat Willie version) navigates a big steamboat through the moat in front of the 10,000-seat amphitheater. His passengers? All our Disney favorites—some we can’t see anywhere else at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you were thinking Fantasmmic!was just another fireworks show, you’re wrong! Be sure to get the best seat in the house by using one of your FastPass+ selections! You won’t regret it!
