Overview
- Disney updated its entertainment calendar to list Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting at 8:30 p.m. instead of 9:00 p.m. beginning August 23, with select second performances moving from 10:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
- Magic Kingdom’s Happily Ever After is scheduled to shift from 10:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on performance nights beginning August 31.
- EPCOT’s Luminous: The Symphony of Us remains listed at 9:00 p.m. nightly through mid-September, so World Showcase plans are unchanged for now.
- Disney says the changes are time-only and not creative cuts, and Fantasmic! typically allows parties to enter up to 90 minutes before showtime so the practical commitment can be much earlier than the advertised 30-minute move.
- Guests should check the Walt Disney World entertainment calendar and My Disney Experience for the day of their visit because outdoor shows can change, be canceled for weather, or be replaced by separately ticketed events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
