No Fantasmic???

[cuscott]

I am headed to the World Oct 15th-18th and I was surfing the allearsnet.com website when I stumbled upon this:

http://www.allearsnet.com/tp/ohours.htm

Under MGM it says Fantasmic only Oct 3rd-8th, is this true?

I hope is it only a typo, I thought fantasmic was a nightly show and I was very much looking forward to it.

Bump!

The WDW web site doesn't list Fantasmic for your week either, but the DIS does. I don't know which is true.

I would go with what WDW has posted

but I really do hope its wrong, and they do show it whileyou are there.

Fantasmic is my fav show.

My opinion....I think that there is a glitch in the WDW website, Fantasmic is not listed, but it is not listed as being under rehab, and it is not listed for October, November or December..
If you call WDW for the hours Fantasmic is listed in the their recording. I just called for 10/15, just to see what comes up and MGM is open until 7:30 and Fantasmic is at 7:30.
So I think that the problem lies with the Disney Website and perhaps Allears draws their info from the WDW website

What is the WDW phone number that you call to get recording for Fantasmic show times?

 

[helenk]

I just called for the times when I'm in WDW 12/4-12/9 and on 12/4 MGm is open until 8:00 and Fantasmic is listed for 7:00 and 8:30, the remainder of my stay the park is open until 8:00 and Fantasmic is listed at 7:00.
I called 800-828-0228 and used the option for park hours

I posted this question over the weekend. I too noticed that Fantasmic was not listed the week of Oct 16 - Oct 23 when we are there. I don't know if it is only a glitch with the web site or not. I do know that in the past, when the hours first came out, it was listed nightly. I am worried that allearsnet.com also does not list it.
I will be disappointed.

Thanks, HelenK! I should have known that our beloved DIS would have the right info and that disneyworld.com was lacking as usual!

VERY peculiar!

I am going Oct. 15-22 and we have a Fantasmic Dinner Package. I will NOT be very happy if they have no plans of showing Fantasmic! I agree that the show times WERE on the Disney site originally. Not showing Fantasmic the entire time we are there makes no sense! They have added Spectro to several nights, though, so maybe they aren't planning to do Fantasmic?

I thought they were adding Spectro because they are anticipating enormous crowds. That is the kind of luck I have. Well, whatever the deal is, it is too late to do anything about it now!

I just booked the Fantasmic Dinner Package for 10/17!!

I wouldn't think that Spectro ahs anything to do with Fantasmic since they are in different parks.


Another board shows times for Fantasmic for all months. Supposedly, they have official info since some of their mods actually work in WDW.

There is a ton of conflicting information floating around. I clicked the link for the MGM site a few posts back and they DO list Fantasmic, but the parade times they list are not the same times as the Disney site is showing.

I guess I'll just wait until we get there and see what the schedule at MGM says the day we are there. Touring Plans says Fantasmic for October "TBD", which doesn't sound good! No Fantasmic would make our evenings easier to plan, but DH really enjoyed the show last time and was looking forward to going again.

I have been concerned as well. The hopeful sign is that we have
Fantasmic Dinner Pkg. for 10/30. Surely, they wouldn't have sold
us the Fantasmic Dinner Pkg. if there was no Fantasmic...right?

Thanks! From this, it looks like Fantasmic is on everyday in Oct! I have the dinner package on 10/23 and they have 2 showings that day.

How long does Fantasmic last?

 

[magicaldisney]

I believe around 25 minutes. But you need to be there about 1 hour before hand.

25 minutes.

And the WDW website, sadly, is not a great source of info. Fantasmic! would not be down for such a long period of time. There is no rehab scheduled, and assuming the weather cooperates, Fantasmic! will be shown at least once every night.
