Clearly I just needed to wait a few minutes:

The magic is coming back.... slowly but surely!!!

It’s both, official start time in the evening varies but the show mode runs every 15 minutes once they start doing it until Harmonious starts. Then it runs after Harmonious until about 30 minutes or so after park close.

thank you!

So, what are we still waiting on to reopen at this point that closed because of the 2020 closure and subsequent events? I know a few restaurants like 1900 park fare, but are any other rides/attractions still not reopened? (Not talking about stuff getting refurbed or built like Tron)

We still need breakfast to return to Garden Grill (yeah, I know this doesn’t actually fit your question, but it’s what I’m waiting for)

Voyage of the Little Mermaid remains outstanding as far as attractions.

When I stayed at the GF in November, we were chatting with a CM, and I asked her about 1900 Park Fare. She said they just don’t have the staff to open it yet. Obviously that’s only one staff member saying that, though. Hopefully *soon!*

Frozen - Live at the Hyperion in DCA. They need a show in that space!

Enchanted Tales with Belle & Ariel’s Grotto Added to Disney Genie+ Lineup at Magic Kingdom

They announced that Frozen had officially closed, whether or not we'll get a new show, we don't know?

Voyage of the Little Mermaid remains outstanding as far as attractions.

I think that show is unofficially closed now, but not sure sure if Disney ever properly confirmed its closure

Yeah nothing has been officially stated what’s going on with that space. The show page has disappeared, though it wouldn’t surprise me if they do an updated version of the show depending on how the live action release goes this year.

 

[R&RsMom]

I thought when the show closed (several years pre-Covid (I think), they has said it was not reopening. I may be remembering that wrong.

Ah yeah, I knew about this one but thought it's lack of reopening wasn't related. Just that the show had ended and Frozen wasn't going to return there regardless. Very curious to see what they'll do with that space

Totally forgot about this one!

It closed about when Batuu opened. I don't think it will be restarting.
