Fantasmic what happened

[brasey]

It was part of the show over a week ago. Nothing changed from what I remember.

Trust me I am not crazy. Well DH might say I am. But he was with me and this is one of our favorite parts. He even filmed it like he always does. The show ended with the characters coming on stage no big boat. It was the last week of Aug. can't remember which day exactly. I think it was 31st. It was a nice clear night. Just hoping they will be back.

The boat is probably out for refurbishment, like it's been mentioned before.

We saw it Friday night, 9/1 and there was no boat at the end. I definitely prefer it with the boat.

We were there a few days earlier and it was in. Maybe they are having problems with it. I can see it happening and that would be no reason for the show to not go on. The night we went it was a little stormy, some lightning and a little light rain but it was deffinetly in. We flew in on the 19th so it was within several days of that.

If they are having problems with this boat, it will be out of the show until they fix the problems.

I have seen nights when other "regular" things DON'T happen.

The biggest is not using the DRAGON at all.

The "secret door" in the mountain was opened, but no dragon.

Mickey just "fought" (magic sword) with Maleficent who remained at her "full-height" (after her "growing" scene) during her battle with our little hero.

I've read posts here that said MICKEY did not appear at the top of the mountain for the grand fanale.
Or sometimes he did not "pop" to the bottom main stage again at the very end ("Some imagination, huh?").

Likewise, for much of last year, the "Inferno Barge" (provides the HUGE BILLOWING FLAMES), a big part of Epcot's "IllumiNations," was OUT OF THE SHOW due to severe damage. (An explosion occured on it, NOT during a performance, and in which no one was hurt.)

"The show must go on," as the expression goes, and sometimes it goes on without everything as it normally appears.

No steamboat last night. Characters were on the stage.

Do you have any other info on this, you seem to be quite sure of your answers so more info would be appreciated-thx!

The paddle boat is under rehab. I don't know when it will be back, but that is why it is out.
