Fantasmic is a shell of it’s former self ☹️

I said in the other Fantasmic thread that maybe for locals the show has gotten stale. For someone who only sees it every few years, it's still a great show when it's all working. I miss the dragon but it was still a very enjoyable experience. My wife enjoyed it a lot more than World of Color. They could freshen it up some with new characters or scenes but nostalgia is a big part of the show. I was glad that Peter Pan was back and they ditched the Captain Jack portion.

What I want separately is a meet and greet with Steamboat Willie.

As a local, Fantasmic is still extremely enjoyable without the dragon—if the pyro is in place. Without it, the show is very slow and there are parts of the show that seem very slow/weird/like something is missing (which it is).

Haven't watched the show once since the dragon was removed.

Fully agree! It was so odd seeing Mickey wave his hands with nothing happening in the show without pyro.

Same. I love Maleficent, but when I saw the substitute was her rising on a platform, I was totally unimpressed. Murphy was the draw for me.

I've met Steamboat Willie. At Mickey's house in Toon Town a couple of years ago.
