Disney World is no stranger to AMAZING nighttime entertainment, and one of our favorite shows is Fantasmic! Now, Fantasmic! saw some changes back in 2022 that made the show even better.

Of course, there is a way to make getting seats for Fantasmic! easier, and that’s by purchasing a Fantasmic! Dining Package. However, some big changes are coming to the dining packages that we need to tell you about.

But, there’s one task that might prove to be the most integral to the future of Disney — choosing a successor to replace him once his contract expires. Though his contract has already been extended once since his return, it’s set to expire in 2026. Rumblings of who’s on Iger’s shortlist to replace him have been swirling for a while, and it’s possible we could get an announcement sooner than we originally thought.
There are some big no-nos when it comes to going to Disney World.
