The Disney Hollywood Studios nighttime extravaganza--cloned from the original Disneyland version. Video, live action, pyrotechnics and water effects make for a fantastic way to end the evening.

Disneyland's Fantasmic was better, this one lacks of the magic of the acting, is too much use of the water screens (which are still awesome if you ask me) - Jose Carlos Mahbub

Lame when compared to the Disneyland version. It relies more on the fountains and less on live action, which made it seem like a scaled-down and less beautiful version of WoC at DCA. The Peter Pan scene is missing, as is the Pink Elephants on Parade scene. On the bright side, it DOES have Jafar turning into a cobra, which was cool, but that doesn't make up for the things I just listed. - E G

Needs lots of help. I love the show, but it is in BAD shape. - Sean Huckel

Fabulous night show. Great effects & a nice story. It just awes us every time we see it. We try to make three shows per vacation. A Disney spectacular. Fantasmic & the new Universal Cinematic are our favorite night presentations. - Rob Pastor

I love this show perfect love to see so many characters at the end.10/10 - Giovanny Cruz

Wow! It went a bit mad in the middle though. 9/10 - D H

You don't need to sit super close!!! Most of the effects are super big so you can see them from any seat. - Sarah Durden

This show is absolutely spectacular and should not be missed. It is one of the few attractions I have rated a 10-PERFECTION on this site. However, because the show no longer plays every night I have dropped my rating one notch to Outstanding. It is a complete travesty for Fantasmic to be anything other than a nightly event. A tip from me to you: if there are two showings of Fantasmic in the same night, go to the second one! And do NOT wait in line as there will be plenty of good seats right before the show starts. Grab a few more rides on ToT or RnRC instead of standing around with the sweaty masses! - James Rao
