Well, that "officially" answers the question, "Since they have not posted any Fantasmic! times on the calendar after January, does this mean the end of Fantasmic?"

BTW, the calendar for April 2016 is STILL not posted.
It is, by my gauge, officially "LATE" in posting.

Click for>> April TA Calendar. It will change to "2016" as soon as those hours become available.

So, something must really be holding up their scheduling early in 2016.

No.

As part of the relationship, Disney will begin selling freshly popped Pop Secret popcorn at popcorn carts throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. The Pop Secret brand will also become the title sponsor of the nightly Fantasmic! Show at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort and plans to sponsor movie nights held at many of Disney's resort hotels.

Maybe they'll rename it Pop Secret Fantasmic!" so they had to wait for official announcement.

We always do buy popcorn while waiting for the show to start.

Why am I envisioning popcorn spraying out of Mickey's sword instead of fireworks now?

"Mickey, we want your Pop Secret popcorn... we will invade your dreams to get the secret!!"

"Ha-Hah!! Some tasty Pop-Secret popcorn eh?" >> blam <<

I know we joking, but where else is a sponsor jammed down your throat in a comical, inappropriate way? Do we really think this change is anything more than a name change/signage change.

Carousel of Progress.

Originally sponsored by GE the original show had several references to "an upcoming company called GE" and how their lives were expanded by time saving devices made by... GE! (The devices are still there!)

Now, like The Great Movie Ride now sponsored by TCM, I don't actually expect any changes to the show aside from signage, an announcement and exclusive popcorn sales rights in the theater. But if they threw enough money at Disney... ?

Wishes is sponsored by Pandora and it doesn't change anything. I'm not worried.

 

[Planogirl]

It looks like Pop Secret will also become the brand at the food carts. Is Pop Secret good? I can't recall ever buying it.

I like it a lot! But I'm gonna miss classic disney popcorn.

Since most of the flavor of popcorn is actually the popping method and the oils its cooked in, I would bet you won't be able to tell the difference between the current popcorn and the sponsored popcorn.

The biggest change, and really only change, will be Pop Secret popcorn being the popcorn available throughout Disney instead of the previous one they've been using. Which is a good change imo.

Pop Secret is good.
