Something BIG is coming back to Disneyland!
Disneyland
Last year, Fantasmic was put on hiatus at Disneyland Park after the Maleficent dragon caught fire mid-show. Since then, Disney has been reworking the show a bit in anticipation of its reopening on May 24th, 2024. And now, right before the show returns, we’ve got a sneak peek!
Disney Parks posted a first look at the show on Instagram in a cute little video. It has snippets of some of the scenes you’ll get to see, set to the iconic Fantasmic music.

We got to see clips of some of the most iconic scenes from the show, including the Steamboat Willie finale with many fan-favorite characters like the seven dwarfs, Ariel, Belle and the Beast, and Rapunzel and Flynn.

While Disney World’s version of Fantasmic takes place in its own theater in Hollywood Studios, Disneyland’s Fantasmic is set on a stage on Tom Sawyer Island, with the boats and rafts sailing the Rivers of America. It’s right there in the middle of the park!

The show will feature “refreshed moments” during its live performances, as well as a new battle scene between Sorcerer Mickey and Maleficent, which will feature updated special effects, and the return of the Peter Pan scene that had been replaced by Pirates of the Caribbean in the 2010s. The show will still feature sequences based on popular Disney films, including Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, and Tangled.
