Credit: bioreconstructDue to the ongoing pandemic, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has not hosted the iconic nighttime show, Fantasmic!. At this time, Disney, unfortunately, has not announced a reopening for Fantasmic!, but thanks to some recent photos taken by bioreconstruct, we can see that the iconic ship has shifted positions — indicating the theme park may be gearing up to bring this fan-favorite show back!

Bioreconstruct shared a series of photos to Twitter, showing the current state of the Fantasmic! lagoon. In the first Tweet, we can see that the iconic ship has actually shifted positions, meaning that Imagineers are clearly working on this area of the theme park, though we are unsure of exactly what type of work is being done at this time.
Per bioreconstruct:

Again, at this time, Disney has not announced a reopening for Fantasmic!, but Inside the Magic will update you as we get information.
In case you have never seen this nighttime spectacular, the Disney World website describes the show as:
A Legendary Tale
Featuring more than 50 live performers, massive sets, stunning effects, dazzling pyrotechnics and rousing music, this larger-than-life show is painted on a grand canvas of dancing water and light like nothing you’ve ever seen. Overflowing with silly and suspenseful surprises, it will leave your entire family smiling from ear-to-ear.
A Night When Dreams Come True
Fast asleep, Mickey Mouse dreams that he is a mighty sorcerer’s apprentice with the power to control water, color and magic. The Disney Villains—including Maleficent in the form of a towering, 40-foot-tall dragon—turn Mickey’s dream into a nightmare, but don’t underestimate the power of Mickey’s imagination!
