Extended Hours & Second Fantasmic

[DIShawn]

We are heading to Disney in late-Feb/early-March. I seem to remember last year there being two Fantasmics consistently throughout February and March. Seems this year there's only one.

So my question is two-fold:

I know they sometimes extend park hours and make other schedule changes around the 15th of this month if previous years hold true. If they extend park hours is there a possibility of moving Fantasmic from 7 to 8? Is there a possibility of adding a second Fantasmic along with extending hours or is the whole second Fantasmic officially done now that they have the Star Wars fireworks?

Any expectations I should have on extending park hours based on what's been going on the past few months?

Thanks!!

I can't answer the question, but I am also going in early March and am curious about the responses.

If park hours are extended, Fantasmic will still be at 7:00. If a 2nd Fant is added, it would be at 8:30.

Because of the SW projection/fireworks show, Fant scheduling hasn't been altered much.

Just my two cents, since I wondered the same thing prior to my December trip:

We went to DHS on a Friday night that got extended by 2 extra hours and had EMH on top of that. Based on 2015's park schedule, which had two Fantasmics for that same night (and actually every Friday night in December if I remember correctly), I fully expected us to get a second show.

And we didn't. I was floored.

So I wouldn't plan my evening around a second show being added.

For us, we unfortunately had to miss Fantasmic all together since we wanted to see Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM. Still had a great night, but it was a little disappointing that we couldn't do both.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like a 2nd Fantasmic is out of the question. What I find interesting is they have no Star Wars scheduled from Feb 26th through all of March. Of course we arrive on the 26th. I'm hoping those get added soon and they're just holding off until they know what the crowds might be like.

I have a question related to this...
We will be at DHS March 27, 2017. Currently, there is only one Fantasmic showing, at 8:30pm, and we have a Fantasmic lunch reservation at Mama Melrose at 1:30pm (1st show).
If there might be extended park hours and a 7pm show added for that night, what happens to my 8:30 Fantasmic 1st show reservation when the current 8:30 1st show might turn into a 7pm 1st show?
Does that make sense? HaHa

It's not dark enough at 7pm in March to start F!

Ok, feeling a bit stupid! That makes total sense.
They might add a 10pm show and that would't change my plans at all.
Got it.
