Hello- I am planning an upcoming trip to Disneyland for early November. It’s been a while since I’ve gone and I’m hoping someone can answer a question for me- are the ride wait times shorter during Fantasmic? In particular, thinking about Fantasyland and Tomorrowland rides.

Similar question for rides in California Adventure and World of Color.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
 
Yes

Between 9pm and 9.45pm is a very good time for rides. Fantasmic is 9.00pm and the Fireworks at 9.30pm and they are both big people eaters.

Fantasyland and Toon Town are closed for the Fireworks.

Main Street is people soup, and to be avoided.

Adventureland gets crazy at 9.30pm due to people leaving the first show of Fantasmic, and people going to the second show of Fantasmic

You need to pick a side / land of the park at about 8.45pm
1. Tomorrowland
2. Frontierland
3. New Orleans Square
4. Galaxys Edge
 
In DCA yes its the same for World of Color

The area around Fantasy Gardens Little Mermaid is to be avoided

Pixar Pier closes for World of Color

The crowds start easing around 8.30pm and these are the best places for rides during World of Color.
1. Carlands
2. Avengers Campus
3. Hollywood Land

Pixar Pier closes, except Incredicoaster and Toy Story. I rode Incredicoaster during WOC earlier this month - it was great! This is a fairly recent change as everything except Toy Story used to close.

This is fantastic news! Thanks for sharing. Incredicoaster is our favorite ride at DCA and it's amazing at night 🙂
 
Yes, we did WOC dessert party and I was surprised to see Incredicoaster still running during the show!
