I am coming to our planning stage for our trip in November December .:surfweb:
Excited to Star wars :jumping3: When i have been looking at park hours the studios shows (9am -7pm)
I am confused:confused3 We have Fantastic Tickets so it must be open later .
can anybody explain please
 
Currently Fantasmic is showing at 7pm on December the first. Its quite normal for the park to close at the same time (or even before) Fantasmic starts. Basically once the show ends you have to exit as all the rides & shows are closed (stores will be open). For some reason Disney are only announcing the Star Wars Spectacular times 4-6 weeks in advance. But at the moment the further date with times shown is 1st October and the Star Wars fireworks are 15 minutes after Fantasmic starts, so possibly expect that to continue. You might have Fantasmic 7pm, Star Wars 7:15 and park close 7:30. This means you can't see both shows on the same night, as Fantasmic is 25 minutes long.
 
As @jon18uk points out, this is typical winter closing times. And this year Disney has only been announcing extended hours 4 - 6 weeks in advance.
Today is my FP+ day and it is difficult to plan effectively when hours are not finalized.
But it is what it is. Only time will tell. And we are all in the same boat.
No sense in getting my arteries in a twit :-)
 
Come November and December it'll already be dark at about 6pm. They typically have the final Fantasmic (or sometimes only Fantasmic) at park closing or 30 min after park closing. It's normal

And yes, to break up the crowds people have to choose between seeing Star Wars show or Fantasmic. The new Star Wars show is more based on projections so you'll want to be close to the Chinese theater. They don't want the Fantasmic crowd rushing out to see Star Wars and being an issue for those already waiting for Star Wars. So to break up the crowds you'll need to choose. Or see one one night then the other another night
