Does anyone have any idea when Fantasmic will return?
Will classify as RUMOR ...
Was there first week of June and spent several days with friend, former CM who still lives in area and all her friends are CMs, many in entertainment since that was her background.
She said she has friends who have been hired for the show and have been called for rehearsals many times but then had them cancelled. The situation explained to her was that they can not hire enough people to work the show. Many of the entertainment people decided to not return, working for low wages to put Disney on your resume doesn't seem to be the draw it once was. I don't think Fantasmic is an Equity job either, so pay is not great at all for the majority.
Even NEMO getting shows cancelled is because they haven't hired enough back up performers, and it's Equity. Imagine there is no point in opening if you haven't filled out all roles plus backups.
And now the million dollar question- how long is the rehearsal timeline?!Disney Parks Blog just teased the return on Instagram:

Caption is that cast rehearsals have begun.
Oh boy! I heard anywhere from 1-2 months. My DHS day is Oct 1, but we did not have plans to be at DHS that evening. We love F and this raises so many questions! Do I make alternative plans to be at DHS that evening in case F opens that day? Or do, I change my DHS day to a different day in case it makes people speculate and make it busier? DHS closes at 9pm, I assume if F opens, it would be at closing time? So.Many.Questions.And now the million dollar question- how long is the rehearsal timeline?!
6 weeks is the assumption. They technically started rehearsals last week, so they would be a week in by now.And now the million dollar question- how long is the rehearsal timeline?!
A previous cast member has stated that rehearsals usually start about 30 days prior to going live. Not sure if this is true but hopefully it’s soon.Does anyone have an Update? It looks like they are in rehearsals. Is it possible it's up by Halloween?
