A favorite aspect of Walt Disney World vacations is the nighttime entertainment offerings families can enjoy — including Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

We know that the Disney World theme parks are not currently offering nighttime shows as Disney navigates operations amid the pandemic. But as more people become vaccinated, and as cases continue to go down across the country, many hope to soon see the return of these entertainment offerings, as well as the return of the entertainment Cast Members who bring these shows to life.

When looking at Fantasmic! specifically, for the past several months, the show’s lagoon at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been drained as the show has remained suspended. Disney recently filed a handful of permits for the Fantasmic! location in the theme park, but the company still hasn’t indicated when the show will come back.

Bioreconstruct took to Twitter to share a recent aerial view of the Fantasmic! lagoon, which you can see is still devoid of water. The lagoon is located in the top right corner of the image, behind The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

At this time, Disney has not announced a reopening date for Fantasmic!, but Inside the Magic will continue to update you as we get information. Until then, Guests can enjoy For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, which recently returned to Hollywood Studios with social distancing measures in place inside the theater.
