Fantasmic! is a nighttime spectacular that takes Guests into Mickey’s dreams as they visit some of the most iconic Disney animated stories. It is located inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Sunset Boulevard near Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, Disney made the decision to halt nighttime shows, including Fantasmic!. The good news is that as we continue to move forward, Disney World has confirmed that Fantasmic! will return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2022.

As Fantasmic! currently remains closed to Guests, for now, Imagineers are working hard on getting the nighttime show ready for its return. When it returns, as we previously mentioned, the show will include a new sequence. Disney Parks Blog confirmed the changes coming to Fantasmic!, writing:

As Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, announced earlier today, “Fantasmic!” will also be returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2022.

The Walt Disney World Railroad, which typically gives Guests the grand circle tour of Magic Kingdom, has been closed since December 2018. This had to be done in order for Disney World to begin construction and make way for the upcoming TRON attraction, which will be located in Tomorrowland once complete.

Unfortunately, we still do not have a reopening date for the Walt Disney World Railroad, meaning the attraction remains closed indefinitely.

Blizzard Beach

Unfortunately, Guests have not been able to visit Blizzard Beach as Disney had previously announced it would be closed for an extended refurbishment. The initial refurbishment was set to end in the middle of March.  but the official Walt Disney World website has since been updated and now shows the water park will be closed indefinitely.

Before the pandemic, Guests could relive the tale of The Little Mermaid at Disney’s Hollywood Studios by visiting Voyage of the Little Mermaid. When visiting, Guests could hear Ariel sing “Part of Your World,” and watch Sebastian, Flounder, Ursula, Prince Eric, and more come to life in front of their eyes.

However, Voyage of the Little Mermaid has been closed for over a year, with no word on when it will return, which made many speculate the show would close permanently.

Disney did confirm that ‘Voyage of the Little Mermaid’ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not closing down, however, we have yet to see the show return.
