food IS a theme park
Okay, so not EVERYTHING goes according to plan in Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ve seen everything from ride evacuations to extended ride closures to characters having funny “oops” moments. Sometimes we even see a few funny things happen while we’re riding rides and something goes wrong. We’ll also NEVER forget plant Donald (he’s something of a legend here at DFB now). But last night, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was having some ISSUES, and we just had to share.
Fantasmic! finally made its triumphant return to Disneyland’s Rivers of America earlier this year!
Fantasmic!
After an extended closure and refurbishment, Fantasmic! returned with an updated show after a fire caused damage. The new version of the show no longer has the Maleficent dragon, but the fan-favorite Peter Pan scene returned to the Sailing Ship Columbia! If you are looking to see this show in a reserved area, then listen up because a new Fantasmic! dining package will debut next year!
Y’all. We’ve seen some things in Disney World. Sometimes they’re wonderful things, sometimes they’re terrifying things, but yeah…we’ve seen THINGS.
Kisses from Donald!
For example, you’ve got those wonderful Cast Member moments that just make your day that much more magical. Or there’s that moment when you see a character just living its best life. On the other side of things, it’s that one time you accidentally make eye contact with Caesar as you’re exiting Tower of Terror (if you know, you know) or find yourself in one of the creepiest parts of a park. Well, we’ve looked over some of our photos, and we wanted to share some of things we’ve seen that left their marks on us.
Are you ready for some GOOD and BAD news about Disney World dining packages? Great — you’re in the right place! Disney just quietly updated their website with some big updates coming soon for Fantasmic! Dining Packages!

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. And since there is always a lot of demand for this show, you might have to line up WELL in advance to catch it each night.
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.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! Fantasmic! is finally BACK at the Disneyland Resort!
Fantasmic!
After an absence from Disneyland Park that lasted over a year, Fantasmic! has returned with updated scenes, special effects, and more! Returning with the show are its dining packages — which we experienced firsthand!

After over a year, an ICONIC Disney show is FINALLY back!
Disneyland
Disneyland has plenty of great attractions, top-notch food, and wildly entertaining shows — but over the past year, it’s fair to say something has been missing. If you’re a big fan of Fantasmic! at Disneyland and/or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, then its notable absence at Disneyland Park has been disheartening, to say the least. Well, get ready to “dream a fantastic dream” again, Fantasmic! is BACK!
Something BIG is coming back to Disneyland!
Disneyland
Last year, Fantasmic was put on hiatus at Disneyland Park after the Maleficent dragon caught fire mid-show. Since then, Disney has been reworking the show a bit in anticipation of its reopening on May 24th, 2024. And now, right before the show returns, we’ve got a sneak peek!
Disneyland’s ORIGINAL nighttime spectacular is ALMOST back.Â
Did we mention there was LOTS of fire before?
Fantasmic! – the journey into Mickey Mouse’s mind that takes place on the Rivers of America each night – has been a staple at Disneyland since the show opened in 1992. Or it was until April of 2023, when the massive Maleficent dragon animatronic that served as the show’s climax caught fire. While no one was hurt, the fire did significant damage to the show’s infrastructure, and the show hasn’t run at Disneyland since. Now, that’s about to change.Â
