Fantasmic! is an iconic open-air, nighttime performance. This nighttime show is full of fireworks, unique effects, exciting music, and of course, the appearance of some of our favorite Disney characters.

Disney’s official description of this fantastic show reads:

A Legendary Tale

Featuring stunning effects, thrilling stunts, dazzling pyrotechnics and rousing music, this larger-than-life show is painted on a grand canvas of dancing water and light. Overflowing with silly and suspenseful surprises, it will leave your entire family smiling from ear-to-ear.

A Night When Dreams Come True

Fast asleep, Mickey Mouse dreams that he is a mighty sorcerer’s apprentice with the power to control water, color and magic. The Disney Villains-including Maleficent in the form of a towering, 40-foot-tall dragon-turn Mickey’s dream into a nightmare, but don’t underestimate the power of Mickey’s imagination!

This nighttime spectacular features Disney characters from movies such as The Lion King (1994), The Little Mermaid (1989), Sleeping Beauty (1959), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and more!
