No matter how many times I watched fantasmic, the ending always gave me the feels. Just watched this again and cried all over again
Me too!! Brings back so many memories of my childhood. I’m so incredibly distraught over the fact that they changed fantasmic completely. I’m happy this recording exists at least so I can relive it all again.
I totally agree! I get goosebumps from the Finale every time! But I just saw the new version and the music is just not as impactful :(
Love the crowd reaction. Always fun watching with a fun crowd
I know this show all the way back from its debut in 1992. I was 11 and this show pulls at my heart every time. It's soooooooo damn amazing! Fantasmic better not go nowhere! it's a part of what makes Disneyland, Disneyland.
+Camille “Cnmdiva81” M Its making way for star wars
Don't worry it will come back in 2017.
but not the same. go to disneyworld of you want to get as close as you can get to this version
It will be interesting to see how long it takes to repair/replace the dragon after the April 22, 2023 fire during the 1030 show.
I love how enthusiastic the crowd was because they knew the show was going be gone for awhile. They were showing Disney their love for this show.
Best Disneyland show ever. Have such memories of waiting around the Rivers of America until the show began. Can't wait for its return in 2017!!
I love when Mickey moves his arms in the air at the beginning! I don't know why.. I also enjoy when fire comes from his hands!
Ana Kusenberger in the new fantasmic he doesn't do it anymore
Honestly, that was the most disappointing part of the new Fantasmic. I was okay with all of the other changes except for that.
I love all the screaming!!! It shows the love for the fantastmic show!! And that it might be closed for a while but we'll miss it !!!!😊
Fantasmic*
I went yesterday..
+alondra M
they will be back right!?if not I didn't even get a chance to see it😣😯😢😔😭😧😵☹😕
Next year after they have built Star Wars Land it will reopen
No more technical difficulties I hope, only incidents where the characters fall (these can't be helped)
The cheering and commentary is the best part about watching this show
So magical. So glorious. Isn't it cool how recordings never seem to really capture it because it's just so larger than life? There's nothing like Fantasmic. When the dragon comes and all the fire and mad cackling of the witch, it really does feel like there's no hope. But OF COURSE Mick conquers every time because of that fantastic imagination of his :) Best show ever. love Love LOVE Disneyland
Nobody out beats Disney when it comes to awesome shows with fireworks. Nobody!
One if the best shows that Disney has to offer
+Cesar Becerra yes they are draining the water to work on the new star wars land and it is set to reopen in spring of 2017
This make me cry 😢 we miss you fantasmic
Don't blame u. They should of put Star Wars Land in DCA
+aDisneyGuy I know. It's totally foreign to Disneyland
+Giovanna Peralta Don't worry, It'll come back in 2017. We still have It In Florida And Tokyo
Well, at least there were no technical issues or fails for the final 2016 preformance
***** In Disney's Hollywood Studios it's still on. Disneyland right now is closed
Coming back to this version of the show, I believe the new and redone one is better. The special effects in the new one and the score is thunderous and spectacular. Only certain parts in this version are better than the new one.
The only thing I like more about this version is Peter Pan. The Pirates section kinda sucks in the new one, and the girl is loud and annoying. I miss “Hey crocodile! Do you like codfish? You do! Hahahahaha”
RIP classic Fantasmic =(...I for one will miss you terribly!!...
took my 3 grandchildren there back in 2013 as a surprise trip...they enjoyed this as well as much as I did ....my daughter and soninlaw came too....was fun for all of us...and this was the best of the best ....especially the princesses dancing on the float....this is sad no more performance we were planning on returning ....hope this comes back soon
They should put Ursula and the two eel animatronics back
Dark artist 2427 yes! I definitely hope they are using the time they have to fix things like that and polish up on everything.
@@vabuchoochoo5174 well...
CHILLS.
This original Fantasmic storyline and audio must comeback ! I love the 2.0 new effects and technical improvements ive seen 2.0 at least 10 times this past year and everytime i still miss the Evil Queen, Peter Pan, Pinocchio and Snow White ! I really think Pirates Of The Caribbean is out of place in this show!
Don't like the Pirates part. Absolutely love everything else!
2017 is going to be bomb af.
Electrical Parade, Dreams Come True, and FANTASMIC.
Thank you Disney for 2017 (even though it's only the end of February). ;v;
The Fantasmic area was close for constrution of Star Wars Land. In 2017,the show wil continue to be displayed normally.
theres no need for them to shut it down just because of star wars land?! thats not fair!! :'(
Technically they do, because of the boats, Disney is re-routing the river. With no river, many of the scenes would either not be there, or would be very sad looking with no boats
+Angela Flores awesome!!
+Angela Flores UM are you sure? You're probably getting it confused for Disney Hollywood Studios' version or DisneySea's?
+Regina Mills yeah, the OG Fantasmic won't be open until 2018-19 (Disney parks Blog Even Said So)
I was here (if you hear a Xena call, that's me lol)! =D the performers, technicians, crew, and audience were all amazing!
Who's here watching this after seeing the new fantasmic
Nickolas Rios I’m here in quarantine crying cause I can’t go and I decided to watch my favorite version of fantasmic haha
@@anniealmanza2904 Same
Why, was the new one bad?
@@gabbyvillarreal1062 It is still a good show. But not anywhere as great as the original.
You see it once, enjoy it, and that’s it. No need to see it again.
I saw the new version in Disneyland back in 2018 and watched videos of the Disney Hollywood version
I went and saw it live. IT WAS SO FRICKING AWESOME!!! I will scream if I can't see it again next summer 😥
I love Fanstasmic 2.0, but what I’d give to see this version again
Totally agreed!
Youll get a piece of it back as perer pan is coming back
I was there that night but couldn't take video, thank you for filming and posting this! :)
I don’t even bother watching a Fantasmic anymore. I’m not adverse to change but I don’t find the new version of Fantasmic as magical. I don’t care for the change in vocals and segment changes. I miss this version so much!
Coming back in July! My body is ready!
SO AMAZING! thank you for sharing!!
the best way to end a day at Disneyland, then rushing over to splash mountain real quick hoping to get on before it closes
Fantastic!
What?
I have loved this show since I first saw it in '96. I had been on ebay, looking for a replacement copy of the Soundtrack CD that I got as a souvenir then; and got worried about this show seeing the new artwork for newer releases, so I had to watch. First the good: I am glad that the show hasn't changed as much as I had feared. The effects now are breathtaking, including the projection onto the water. I love also they upped the anté on the Pyro, especially when the dragon appears. Also, the new dragon is cool as f**k. The newer lighting is also cool; from the blacklit monkeys during the jungle sequence, to the decorative lighting on the Princess' barges.
now for the bad: 20yrs ago, when Mikey slayed the dragon, his sword expanded to pierce the dragon. I don't know when they changed that, but now that Mickey's sword "shoots" something and slays the dragon, it feels off. I liked the fact that the sword appeared to expand; because it showed that it was still part of a dream & imagination feel. Now it feels more like Mickey's sword is actually a gun. This really is my bigget pet peeve.
Still bitter they cut out both Snow White AND the Evil Queen in the new version
I miss this old firework ending that goes along smoother with the rhythm of the music. Still a breathing show!
It was just Big Thunder Ranch that got shutdown. Disneyland Railroad, Tom Sawyer Island, Mark Twain Riverboat, Sailing Ship of Columbia, Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes, and Fantasmic are temporarily shutdown.
Always dream, always imagine.
As long as Star Wars Land will fit in Disneyland. Fantasmic will reopen from January 2016 to Summer 2017.
I cant wait till next year and I can see this live for the first time.
I've never seen the Disneyland Fantasmic but part of WDW's Fantasmics charm is that it focuses around older films like Pocahontas. These shows wouldn't be as magical if Frozen/Star Wars took over
I actually hate the Pocahontas segment in WDW's version. It drags on too long. I wish they'd get rid of that part. And upgrade the dragon to one like Disneyland's.
AKDog48 If they upgrade their version they realllllllly need to get rid of all the other villains, every scene with them drags on and on and on forever. Just stick with the badass women we've got and Chernabog
Star Wars? Not magical
Frozen? I actually don't mind that idea. The theme is Disney Animation isn't it? And did you know they put the Pocahontas scenes specifically because Micheal Eisner wanted to insert recent films at the time? Pocahontas was certainly not old then.
@@kylemorello4787 yup, personally the charm for me at least is the slightly older films from today's perspective, pocahontas doesnt get much love. I'm mainly against Frozen for the fact that 3 years ago, and still now, theres far too much Frozen in the parks but I get that that's just my opinion :)
@@potterheadxox that's probably why they decided to include Tangled as a revival era film to include instead.
Just watched the new version and then came back to watch the original here... time and time again this game me absolute goosebumps... the new show does not touch the heart...
Rest In Peace to this beautiful fantasmic ;( I guess now Disney world's is my new favorite one now, ever since they ruined it today ;(
Fantasmic crew: Okay, this is the last show until the revamp. *looks at Murphy* Look at us, do not blow this for us.
Murphy: 👹
the song makes me cry 😪
i love fantasmic and i hope that they dont add any pirates of the Caribbean, star wars, marvel, or any modern Disney movies on it when it comes back, its just perfect the way it is and if they try modernizing it i feel like if it will ruin the feels of what fantasmic is suppose to be about.
raw vubs I get your sentiment when it comes to Fantasmic! as I grew up with the show, but in the case of Pirates change, I don't think it's too drastic. The Peter Pan segment is based around the premise of pirates on board the Columbia, which would remain the same for the Pirates of the Caribbean. As well, the show is in close proximity to the very attraction that inspired the movies. The projection mapping on the Columbia and the surround buildings would also bring what was supposed to be a temporary show to be on par with newer entertainment offerings. If they were to change the Sorcerer Mickey segments or ending, I think I would have a problem with them changing it.
TFN5459 so there changing the peter pan segment?
raw vubs Hasn't been officially confirmed by Disney yet but with the number of sources reporting it it seems to be true. Also Disney has been installing projection equipment around Tom Sawyer's Island and new stunt equipment on the Columbia's rigging so most likely.
I read in MiceChat that they are replacing Peter Pan with Pirates. It's not a huge Pirates fan, but I think it'll be cool. Ariel will have legs instead of her tail and they are replacing Snow White with a top secret princess. They are replacing the snake that appears before the monkeys with something related to The Lion King. I was so happy to read that they're keeping my favorite part (the monkeys). They're trying to do something with projectors and it works fine on everything except the moving actors. They want to make the actors look like skeletons. They have been struggling with that since the boat is moving and the actors have to be in exactly the right place at the right time (makes sense that it's failing). They might have to use black lights and fluorescent paint because that'd be easier. They're also adding an Aladdin section. I think that's just about everything I can remember. Oh yeah! They're adding another explanation point to the name so it's kinda like saying Fantasmic 2.0
Here's the link:
micechat.com/154051-disneyland-photo-rumor-update-major-fantasmic-halloween-changes/
I also read that they are kinda changing the music a little which I am actually annoyed about... cause the music is so iconic and its my fav part about the show!!
I knew this would be different because they are obviously different venues, but im surprised at how different the Fantasmic is in Disney World compared to Disneyland. I've only ever seen the one at Disney World so it was nice to watch and see the differences- like Kaa in Disneyland is replaced with the snake version of Jafar, the entire Peter Pan pirate scene is replaced with a scene from Pocahontas, and the scene with the villains on the water screen is way different, as each villain makes a quick appearance, saying one line and then morphing into another villain as opposed to just the Ursula and Fantasmic Villain scenes. I loved spotting the differences and similarities and hopefully by the time Im able to visit Disneyland the show will be back up and running so I can see it live! Loved the video!
wow hahaha, I'm a Disney geek so I watch all the Disney videos lol, but I remember watching a few and they wouldn't specify which park it was and I'm from California so my natural assumption was from Disneyland. When I saw Jafar as a snake, the Pocahantas set, and the whole Lion King set, I got kind of confused. I was like how did I not know that they changed that. Now I know thanks to your comment lol. Thanks for specifying that haha
Fantasmic videos is what I was talking about up there ^ my bad aha
+Wavvi no problem! Glad I could help. I've only ever visited Disney world, and so that's the only Fantasmic I've ever seen. I remember someone saying something about Peter Pan in the California one, and he's my favorite character so naturally I had to check it out. I love both now!
+AshlynActs Same here but for Disneyland, the Disneyland version is the only one I've seen in person and I think the Disneyworld version is a bit better, maybe because I'm used to the Disneyland one. The Jafar set looked very colorful and very nice as well as the Pocahantas set
8:39 Oh no, mickey!!! HILARIOUS😂😂😂😆😹😹
i'm happy for mickey's famous pyro shoot on fantasmics 1.0, and 2.0
I can wait to go to Disneyland on April 29 🙌🙌🙌✌️
The last one? Aw this makes me wanna cry, I'm going to Disneyland this year during the summer :( bummer I won't be able to see my favorite show!
Its not permanent. Just closed while they build Star Wars Land which is behind the Rivers of America.
Benamax Nah I heard about that I just didn't realize that they were having to close it while they build Star Wars Land
My friend said who in this show says it's going to be better then ever so to all fantismic fan be pacant it's going to be worth the waite I got to see what there going to do and let me tell it's going to be asome I can't waite
Turns out We get our show and river back next year! The Disney Parks blog announced The river's return in Summer '17
Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America Attractions to Reopen Summer 2017 at Disneyland Park
Erin Glover
by Erin Glover, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been sharing stories about the original Disneyland park attractions that our guests have loved for more than 60 years. With all of the great memories we’ve been recalling, it seems the perfect time to reveal some exciting news about some of these classic attractions. Today, I’m pleased to tell you that the Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America will reopen summer 2017 at Disneyland park.
This includes all attractions along the Rivers of America:
“Fantasmic!”
Mark Twain Riverboat and Sailing Ship Columbia
Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes
well now its back in disney lasnd it had gotten back from 2017 july 15 disney lands birthday
Did they change it for the last night?
I never knew there was a difference between the Disneyland and the WDW Fantasmics. I love them both!! I hope yours doesn't get changed (badly) because of Star Wars land!
BroadwayPizano Nope its going to be way better!
I heard a rumor that when they bring this show back, changes will be made. Including replacing Peter Pan with Pirates of the Caribbean.
I heard that same rumor! Personally to me it would ruin the feeling of having every character an animated movie one, except for Pirates. I love Pirates, but just not in this show.
they better keep the show the same
fun fact, Fantasmic takes 75 grand just to produce one show! they usually have around 3 a night! WTF!!!
And they have a couple billion dollars to spend on it
Do you mind if I use this in a metal cover as a background for my greenscreen? Amazing work!
***** I hope they don't mind that I used it haha.
Why did this close?
Jo Cox its temporary b/c of Star Wars land and they are rerouting the rivers of America and will return this summer
Idk why the boat scenes were so zoomed in you missed half of what’s going on
do you know if the still will have f this in september at disney world
They will.It is only closed in disneyland.Not in disneyworld.
Bye bye Fantasmic! Hope you will come back until 2017.
I miss this one. The new Fantasmic doesn't flow like this one does. :'(
Cool
My friend does Mickey mouse in this show and the black and white Mickey as well my friend will be doing a q and a video on Friday so if you have any questions for him please send them he will be more then happy to answer them for you he a super nice guy he was in this one he kinda sad that this was the last show i kept saying it's only intil star wars is done. He loves doing this show.
Where can we ask him?
Did the actors not put more energy into this for us?
I wish I was there for its last performance...I know it’s super childish but, this show was close to my heart changing the original arrangement and taking away the characters they did is lik if they did Main Street electrical parade without Pete’s Dragon...the magic isn’t there for me anymore when I watch fantasmic :/
I love Mickey so much😪
is the Florida show still open
Yes
I know it’s just not me but Disneyland makes me happy like honestly Mickey Mouse makes me feel happy . I know all the words to fantasmic
Had too watch this to cleanse my eyes from Fantasmic 2.0
What didn’t you like about it (without comparing it to this one)?
The only parts I don’t like is the Pirates of the Caribbean and the fact that I was hearing rumors about Dr. Facilier being added to the villains Segment but I didn’t see him. Other than that, I love the new Fantasmic 2.0. Plus they added a bit of World of Color with the dancing fountains
Mickey was so much more animated/enthusiastic in this version. In the new one he seems bored/going through the motions. I prefer the big, fast gestures in this version over the almost lazy-like ones in 2.0.
The reason they changed the movements is to show that Mickey is figuring out what he can do in his imagination.
exactly!! In the original Mickey already knows how to control the magic of his imagination while in 2.0 he figuring out the new found magic he has and plays around with it.
Will this show still be play for the summer of 2016 ?
Nope, this show will stay closed until 2017 because of the construction of Star Wats Land. I go to Disneyland once a year and all I wanted to do was watch fantastic. Now I'll has to wait 2 years😭
fantasmic will come back next years or two years after star wars land was done i promise & is true.
I love Fantasmic, and although the new one has some things that are better, a lot of the new stuff added in just don't work. The thing that made this rendition so good was how well it all flowed together, where the music didn't seem off, the segways fit amazingly well, and the overall magic always felt right. With the new one, there are scenes that just feel off and some of the dialogue just feel out of place. Another problem is that some of the music doesn't work with the new show.
estara cerrado temporalmente
This is the dope version of fantasmic not like that new pop version.
I forgot how much I loved the original. You also don't realize how much the old one and the new differ.
Hi Mickey mouse my Memory is you Mickey Mouse from Disneyland I love you your biggest fan Miranda biar Stone
+DAPs Magic hi guys I have a couple of question about this new project of creating star wars land one all fronterland will be close? and also new Orleans squared too? or what is the reason they're closing fantasmic? what about the others attractions and restaurants like Winnie the pooh ride and the hungry bear? if I'm asking you is because I checked the Disney official site and didn't tell me witch part of the park is close and I like to plan my vacations thanks for all your work
+Jeannifer Sanchez Right now only those attractions along the rivers of america are down for an extended period of time. Including Fantasmic, Disneyland Railroad Mark Twain River boat, Sailing Ship Columbia, Tom Sawyers Island, Davy Crockett Canoes. The river and railroad routes need to be rerouted to accommodate the new 14 acre Star Wars Land . The only things announced to be closed forever is in the Big Thunder Ranch area. Which includes the petting zoo and the restaurant. Big thunder mountain railroad will not be touched and remains open. Frontier land, new orleans and critter country will remain untouched as of right now. Other attraction closures going on right now are part of scheduled refurbishment, or removal of the holiday overlay.
+Shaughn Lunod don't forget toontown it's going too
+Savannah Gallagher (Savannahkat13) wait toontonw is going to be close too?
+Jeannifer Sanchez toontown is not being touched for the Star Wars addition. Star Wars will be built on the existing backstage areas and big thunder ranch area. Disney announced they are only using those two spaces. Big thunder ranch and lots of backstage areas. Toontown will not be touched.
+Savannah Gallagher (Savannahkat13) no it's not.
Who here is ready for the jaw-dropping you never saw it coming but the unthinkable happened, star casted 30+ min bar raising we worked our asses off on a secret 10 year plan for the 30th in 2022 event?
I'll drop some hints - how about this, Peter Pan gets reinstated, Sleeping Beauty is in, Snow White is in, Cinderella is in, Alice is in, Frozen is out, all homages for ones like Robin Williams are in, the dragon got upgraded, the "flags" on the final ship will be changed, you have a multi-coloured 30th anniversary logo with 3 special effects representing the 3 decades of operation, the total runtime for 2022 is roughly 30-40 mins right now but that will be adjusted based on what we can get in, the mark twain ship is getting an overhaul to allow for more characters, the main stage might be getting a rotation system to allow for new elements, the fountains are getting reworked on patterns and the fireworks also get looked at for some sky symbols new and old, hows that sound?
Better grab some 4K UHD tech people, coz this thing looks spectacular, hope you can multi-angle left right and up, this is gonna be a blast :)
It will be back in 2017
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't get rid of a show that has one of there BIGGEST animations ever. Maybe they'll use the time fantasmic is gone to make a new Fantasmic dragon.
No they are doing full blown Star Wars nothing else
+Savannah Gallagher (Savannahkat13) Which PISSES me off!
forever invincible same here but what can we do?
Savannah Gallagher They are bring in back in 2017
PatricktheHedgehog01 i know but in that time its all star wars because of the new land
Good thing i go and live closer to disney world.
Bring this Fantasmic back!
I'll always miss/love this version more, the true classic version. I don't see why they can't just add on to the show without having to take out certain things. It's just not fair. I understand they wanna modernize it a bit, but they could have at least kept the original soundtrack. The new one does not do it justice at all. It's nowhere near as captivating as it once was. Truly a shame. Plus I feel like in the new Fantasmic, because of how much shit they chose to add in, it really throws off the pacing of the show as it feels more rushed now. The Pirates segment replacing the classic Peter Pan segment is just ridiculous. I can't even believe that. Not to mention Snow White being completely taken out of the princess scene for fucking Rapunzel??? Come on..... They could have just as easily added a new float just for that sole purpose. The only changes that are cool and worth some while is the dragon being updated and the addition of the Aladdin and Lion King scenes, but other than that, the new Fantasmic pales in comparison to the original by far. Fight me.
Kinda peeves that they're shutting down such a large chunk of the park without much warning. I've been planning my wedding for two years around going to Disneyland just to find a lot of stuff will be closed.
+Nstone53 Hardly anything..
Will Fantasmic Come Back ? i Hope it Does
Summer of 2017
Alright Thanks :)
+MegaSoulhero
Those are the plans but really who knows if it will! Disney is commonly known for changing it's mind easily
Which disneyland was this?
Disneyland in California!
@@Dapsmagic The first disneyland?
Correct!
@@Dapsmagic Amazing! I am actually very sad i missed the old fantasmic, like i want to go to disneyland in america (i live in europe) but for me it really matters which one has the best fantasmic. Like TPM vids said, the disneyland performers have more energy than the disney world performers.
I think the way the show is set up is more conducive to more energy all the way around. It really is incredible how it transforms the Rivers of America!
I appreciate a lot of the updates of the new Fantasmic, but I will always love the original showing. :)
The Imagination song in this show, it's always spoken right to my soul, almost like a theme song for my life. When I decided I wanted to write fiction novels at around age seven, that was coincidentally when my parents got the soundtrack to the original Fantasmic on CD. And when I started to tap into my own creativity, it was like this song and the whole show spoke to me very personally, it encouraged me to use my own imagination. I considered it a kind of sign from God that expanding on my own imagination and creativity is what I'm called to do with my life. Thank You, Lord, and thank you, Disneyland, for the inspiration this show has given me. :)
It's been 3 months since I've been in Disney today ;-;
What the..... I didn't know Disneyland closed their Fantasmic!!!
noo why?
ミッキーが瞬間移動する所日本にも欲しいですな
Why is this the last performance?
Just for 2016 whilst they're building Star Wars Land. Don't worry they have also temporarily closed other attractions due to reopen again next year.
“ALRIGHT, MICKEY!”
🤣
Nooooooooooo Please for the love of god tell me this is coming back!!!! I'm going to Disney this year and wanted to see this show so badly!
Lunar Eclipse it's temporary don't worry, people say it's coming in this summer
NOOO!!! Not my favorite show!!!
Don't worry, it's not permanent.
It's only temporary.
I worked this last event!!!!
They already took the giant Sorcerer Mickey hat from there, if they take Fantasmic, I'm done with disney.
+iMadStudioYT Me too
Henny, what your talking about is the Fantasmic and Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando,FL. This performance is at Disneyland in Anaheim,CA. So Hollywood Studios Fantasmic is still preforming :)
Its temporary, and only in Disneyland. It'll open back up again when Star Wars Land opens.
I just went to Fantasmic yesterday...
+CoolFilms UM I don't know how you could've seen Fantasmic when it has been CLOSED for the new Rivers of America. You were probably at Disney's Hollywood Studios watching their version of Fantasmic or at Disney Sea. WELL, search it up yourself . . .
Why is it the last performance?
The Rivers of America is being partially drained and demolished for installation of infrastructure for Star Wars Land. While the show area will remain intact, the rear staging areas for the show are being demolished and the Mark Twain and Columbia are moored till the River construction wraps up, which is why the show can't run.
oh darn. so what is going to happen while it is under construction?
+morphman21 It will simply remain inactive. The front part of the river will be dammed off so it can stay filled while construction goes on in the back. It is rumored that the fountains and lighting will get refurbished at some point before it reopens in spring of 2017 but it's just speculation at this point.
+TFN5459 So once they're done with Star Wars land, or at least that portion of it, will they resume?
Yes, once the construction work focused on rerouting the river and railroad, as well as installing infastructure for Star Wars Land wraps up, the plan is to have Fantasmic! return.
8:40 oh no mickey!
Honestly, this show flows better. The princess portion just isnt the same anymore. It feels classy in this version but way too flashy and rushed in the newer version. Ditch the excessive techno synthesizers for acoustic instruments!
