Do lightening, rain, cold, etc. impact whether shows like Fantasmic, Wishes and Illuminations occur?
 
Yes....weather is a huge factor....if its thundering and lightning, they'll cancel the show, for drizzles, its delayed a bit and sometimes canceled....or if they can clean up the area, it might be delayed a bit...keep that in mind.... :umbrella:
 
Fantasmic is the first to ever get cancelled due to weather.

Normally in rain, unless torrential downpour, Wishes and Illuminations still go.

During "striking" lightning, the show will be cancelled.


Just on a side note: The castle is nothing more than a massive lightning rod. Last year, just before wishes, a massive storm came up and a bolt hit the castle as we were standing at Casey's. Literally the sound nearly gave me a heart attack. I've never heard anything so loud and was shaking all night just from the trauma of it.
