Fantasmic!, the beloved nighttime spectacular, has been closed at Walt Disney World Resort since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Disney fans have anxiously awaited the return of the show, they’ve been hit with disappointment as it has remained closed.
Disneyland Resort brought back Fantasmic! earlier this spring and Guests visiting the Disney Park have been excited to see the show which reveals “when dreams come to life,” but those along the east coast have been forced to wait much longer for the return of the show in Orlando.
During the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA, many Disney fans were hoping to hear a date reveaeled for the return of the beloved nighttime spectacular.
As many amazing announcements were unveiled, there was no mention on Fantasmic! other than a quick logo to remind fans that it is still set to return in 2022.
There have been rumors for quite a while about when it might reopen, and it’s exciting for the show to finally be making its comeback after more than two years away. However, fans wanting an exact date will have to continue their wait.
Disney has been running tests for the show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for several weeks.
Disney’s official description of Fantasmic! reads:
