The 25-minute spectacular "Fantasmic!" features 50 performers and combines dazzling special effects, colorful pyrotechnic explosions, beloved Disney characters, animation, and dancing waters synchronized to the melodies of timeless Disney classics. The presentation lights up the sky nightly above a new 6,900-seat amphitheater behind The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror off Sunset Boulevard. The specially designed amphitheater also can accommodate 3,000 standing guests.
The show takes guests inside the dreams of Mickey Mouse, where his magic creates dancing waters, shooting comets, animated fountains, swirling stars, balls of fire, and other amazing wonders. When Disney villains intrude on Mickey's fantasy and turn his dreams into nightmares, he uses the powers of good to triumph over evil.
The opening scene takes place on a darkened island surrounded by a 1.9-million-gallon moat. A faint musical note pierces the air as a brilliant cone of light reveals the star of the show, Mickey Mouse. Mickey's imagination brings the waters surrounding the island to life as he conducts the "Fantasmic!" musical score.
The music builds as animated comets soar across three giant water screens, sprinkling the night with twinkling stars. In addition to incorporating the dancers, singers, and colorful sets, the show features a wild, upbeat version of "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from "The Lion King", a medley of Disney favorites including "Under the Sea" and "Be Our Guest" and scenes and music from Disney's "Pocahontas" incudling "Colors of the Wind."
Then Disney character couples Cinderella and Prince Charming, Belle and Beast, Aladdin and Jasmine, Ariel and Eric, and Snow White and her Prince perform Disney love songs as the production continues with dramatic scenes featuring Mickey and a dragon, followed by a festive, firework-filled conclusion.
