Does Fantasmic begin promptly at posted time?

If it is posted that it will begin at 7 p.m., what time does it actually start? TIA

In my experience, 7 PM means 7 PM.

I was really impressed with all of the shows, they all seemed to start at exactly the moment they were scheduled. Our only exception was the Frozen fireworks which started at 9:45, I read afterwards that people assume that is because they want to let the first F! out before starting and come to find out there was a problem during the first F! where they stopped the show. My friend was at the first show and left when they had the delay (she thought maybe a performer got hurt) she left so not sure how long it was delayed.

Yes. Disney is great at keeping a schedule and shows will only be delayed for weather or technical difficulties with an announcement.

This really goes for everything at Disney. If a character is schedule for 6:02, they will be out at 6:02. If a show starts at 3:15, you can bet that intro music will begin at 3:15.

The only time this won't be the case is when there is a safety concern since that is the number 1 priority at Disney

7 PM. All Disney shows start at the posted time unless there is a huge emergency or a weather concern. Fantasmic is done outside so if a storm was coming through, it might be delayed but I wouldn't count on it and, besides, you would need to be in the theater in order to get a seat. So, it's not like Flights of Wonder at Animal Kingdom, where, if the show is scheduled to start at 11, it starts at 11 but people are allowed to enter after that (grumble, grumble).
