Fantasmic Fountains Preparing for Saturday! from Disneyland

Fantasmic! will officially return on May 28th for all Guests to enjoy, and Cast Members will get an exclusive preview of the show, as Disneyland Resort Ambassadors (@disneylandambassador) recently announced on Instagram. Cast Members will be able to enjoy a costumed rehearsal of this nighttime spectacular in the coming days with prior registration. Footage of this Cast Member’s exclusive preview will surely be posted on the Disneyland Resort Ambassadors’ Instagram profile and probably even the Disney Parks’ social platforms.

Disney Parks Blog describes this nighttime spectacular as follows:

“Fantasmic!” is an emotional extravaganza of colorful Disney-animated story scenes, choreographed to an exciting musical score. The waters of the Rivers of America come alive as Mickey Mouse dreams he is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and faces dastardly villains, using the power of his imagination to save the day. Along the way, fantastic events and images as seen in stories like “Fantasia,” “The Jungle Book,” and more come to life with live performers, character appearances, enhanced special effects and pyrotechnics.

Fantasmic! will be joining other nighttime spectaculars that have already made their triumphant return to the Parks, World of Color at Disney California Adventure, plus the Main Street Electrical Parade and Disneyland Forever fireworks spectacular at Disneyland Park.
