The holiday season may be coming to a close at Disney World, but that doesn’t mean the crowds are expected to go anywhere anytime soon!
Hollywood Studios
We’ve seen wait times creep up and crowds have come out in full force to celebrate the festivities around the parks and more. But, over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it looks like preparations are underway for even more crowds to make their way into this park and we’ve got all the details.
It looks like one Disney World park is preparing for an influx of crowds over the next few days! We noticed that on the calendar for Disney’s Hollywood Studios later this week, Fantasmic! — the nighttime fireworks show at this park — has not one, not two, but THREE different showtimes on multiple nights.

On Thursday, January 2nd, Fantasmic! will be shown at 6PM, 8PM, and 9:30PM.

And, the same is true for Fantasmic! on Friday, January 3rd as well.

Typically, Fantasmic! can be seen two times per night at 8PM and 9:30PM, so it’s the additional 6PM shows that are new here. On Saturday, January 4th, it looks like showtimes go back to normal with just two shows.

Disney hasn’t made any official announcements about why the additional performances have been added, but we’re certainly not complaining! If you’ll be at Hollywood Studios on January 2nd or 3rd, you’ll have even more chances to check out this phenomenal nighttime show.
But, chances are this means that Disney is preparing for even more crowds to make their way to Hollywood Studios — and likely the rest of the parks too — so make sure you pack your patience if you’ll be in the parks this week!
