Walt Disney World is famous for its rides and attractions, but many Guests come to experience the amazing live entertainment options as well. Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios all feature some truly incredible shows for Guests to watch.
Fantasmic!, Disney’s beloved nighttime spectacular, returned to Walt Disney World last year following an extended closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show is held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, with another version being performed at the Disneyland Resort. It was a long road to reopening, but eventually, the iconic show returned to both Disney Resorts.
The fantastic fantasy includes some of your favorite Disney Characters like Moana, Mulan, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, and Ariel, to name a few. Disney Cast Members and performers come together to put on an incredible show accompanied by intense water features, incredible music, and some daring stunts.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred on Monday night’s show, with a performer missing their landing and falling.
A video was shared on Twitter of the accident, which you can see down below:
