- Fantasmic is back at the Disneyland Resort as the park prepares for a busy summer season. Has the show improved, is the villain scene good? I give my thoughts and more from the happiest place on earth.

Something else I wish they would bring back is the full news reel in the Indiana Jones queue, and not just Sallah’s safety spiel.
Agree, I miss that so much in the queue.
Why did they even remove the news reel in the first place?
@@classicalrenaissancerebel I think it had something to do with covid restrictions so that not a lot of people were in the same room for too long and to keep them social distancing. But now that the emergency phase is long over there’s no reason why they can’t bring it back if what I said was the case.
I know right? I remember last time I went to Disneyland I went on Indy and I thought the safety spiel being played over and over was super repetitive and got kind of annoying after awhile lol
What makes Fantasmic awesome IS her dragon transformation. That's the magic with the whole show. The fact you can play on that island during the day and that island becomes alive at night with her taking center stage is what makes that show so awesome. To see them take the B mode way out is very lazy and so disappointing. They need people in there coming up with some insane ideas to make happen. Dont cheapen Fantasmic by taking the easy way out! Great video!
I agree, the battle scene was very lazy and disappointing indeed. It’s even worse when you realize that we all waited thirteen months just to see the B mode version.
And if they have no choice but b mode then the best thing to do is to use as much lighting and pyro as possible. Seems like they barely used the lighting.
I get people being sad about the cutting of the dragon scene but I wholeheartedly disagree that there isn't more magic throughout the rest of the show
@@masonjenkins9923 I agree, the magic of the show for me is the finale and not the battle scene. Though, the dragon is definitely more impactful.
Thanks always great to see Michael along for the shows 🎉
You bet!
Just watching this today, thank you for the honest review I was on the fence about doing a dining package, I think I will wait until they possibly get the kinks out, thanks for bringing Michael along I like his input and hello Pixar Charlie!
Going to see Fantasmic Thursday - last day before my riff-raff pass is blacked out.
Hope you enjoy the show!
Great video Dylan, it's great to have Fantasmic back. I wish the dragon was back 😪
I hope they bring that dragon back in the future.
I love your videos every day you put them on CZcams.
Awe thanks so much!
Sonething you need to take into account, everything that was within trapdoor where the dragon rises was damaged heavily. So the carpet was too damaged and we need to cut disney some slack, we know disney isnt dumb to not build a new dragon or refurbish the existing one heavily, but this is basically B mode if dragon was still there. And no one would call it chesp if it the dragon wasnt damaged but just couldn't rise. I get it no drsgon is a bummer but we canr act like its a permanent thing.
My thing is Disney should be held to a high standard when it comes to this kind of thing. They could have done a bunch of cool stuff with pyro and lights in that’s scene so that’s mainly why I was disappointed. They have the money and resources.
Unfortunately, that's what was so upsetting...the moment I heard the cut in the music, I knew they cheaped out and lied to us about "replacing" the dragon. If they were using the actual B mode then why did they have to cut an entire 1.5 minutes of show?
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD Sure, but I do think Disney was forced to open Fantasmic earlier than expected especially considering they're already doing so much work at the park elsewhere during the summer months. Which I assume is also why budgets weren't allocated to Fantasmic. I expect Fantasmic to be closed again within the next two years for another update. My guess is after the 70th anniversary.
Cute how you kept looking for the hiding dragon lol! My guess is they havent finished the ending yet...
I’m sure they are building a new one. Prob won’t be in show until 2025 though.
I thought that scene was fine. Im more tired of all the other new 2017 scenes. The og score was the best. But the intro and finale lighting and pyro is looking good
I agree that the OG score was better. But yeah I think it’s time they swap out some scenes for some new stuff.
which stairs do you take in Indy Q? left or right? Great update, Fantasmic show looked great.
I switch it up each time I go.
thank you
greetings from Israel, Dylan and Michael.
where is the tangeled pole located exactly? loved it
Thanks for watching! It’s located in Fantasy Fair right off of main street.
The tarp they used to put up on the trees for the projections hasn’t been used since fantasmic returned after the pandemic
Noticed that when I was editing and it’s a bummer for sure.
What kind of camera do you use?
Everything is filmed on an iPhone.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD wow. That’s great!
They haven't rigged that screen in the back even before the murphy fire.
I will say I miss a few aspects of 2017 Fantasmic but I love this new updated one too!
I’m glad we have Pan back!
There were also a lot of characters missing from the Mark Twain. I expect the flying carpet for Alladin and Jasmine will not return and them dancing on the stage will be the new norm.
So glad you went on Indian Jones
It’s been awhile so I’m glad we did.
They made it pretty evident that there will not be a dragon, at least not for a while. Hopefully, we will get a new dragon sooner or later.
It will probably be sometime next year unfortunately.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD That I can imagine considering how much Murphy costed, and since Disney has been in a major financial slump for over a year now, they gotta be mindful with their money for the time being.
They should replace the dragon and make him fire-proof! Maybe mostly out of metal/steel. Btw, does anyone know if the tunnel lights in Space Mountain are working again?
I’m sure the new dragon will have some serious fire proofing. And I’m not sure on the space mountain lights.
Disney seems to do nothing but disappoint lately.
So the carpet actually isn’t coming back to Fantasmic! in this tweaked iteration, hence the choreo from Aladdin and Jasmine on the island. And I recall the pyro blast from the Hag’s segment before, but the blast during Chernabog’s is an addition for sure! Agreed that it’s nice to have the show back (especially the triumphant return of Peter Pan) but there is still plenty of room for improvement. °o°
Yeah they can use some more lighting effects for sure especially in the battle sequence.
Great video 😊
Thanks for the visit
Yeah I was so hyped with the new fantasmic show but yeah I get what you mean they could just say that the characters maleficent will be the one replacing the dragon lol 😆 but anyways the Peter Pan show was amazing!!! And the ending part of the show. ❤🎉
It was great to see Peter Pan again.
Yeah the Dragon was the main thing of the show
Fingers crossed it comes back.
I don't know if this is true, but I heard that the magic carpet lift was the same lift that was used for the Maleficent dragon, which I guess means it was damaged beyond repair? I hope they fix the magic carpet as well as the dragon (and the old Tick-Tock crocodile float!) because having Aladdin and Jasmine dancing in the clouds seems a little awkward. At least put them on a boat like all the other couples in that sequence; it's hard to see them in the fog.
Been hearing that it was damaged too so maybe that’s why it wasn’t used.
Thanks for keeping it real.
Always!
Maybe not a bad thing I couldn't get a dining reservation.
It’s just so pricy. $90 for Blue Bayou
Also it seemed to that the Mark Twain (Steamboat Willie) had less characters on board (Mary Poppins, Burt, Penguins, Jesse, Army Men, Alice, Pooh, etc. were missing in action). Agreed, Murphy is everything; she is pretty much the main reason you want to see the show in the first place. Back in 1992; I was at the every show before it opened to public and did basically thing, I call it the 'cherry picker' Maleficent. Then when first edition Murphy came, I like this is cool; the sadly I moved in 1995. Been back to Disneyland only one time since then, saw many videos of Fantasmic since (including last years fire) and Murphy is everything for the show. BTW another thing I wish they would bring back is Tik-Tok, since the Peter Pan segment is back too. *Sssmmmmmmeeeeeeee!*
Yeah bringing back the crock would be amazing. That day there was a shortage of characters but I heard the next day it was back to normal. So maybe they had some call outs.
Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Disney land in June
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Any time and me and Michael are going to Disney in June
I do miss the Dragon scene, but I still loved Fantasmic! It was awesome seeing you guys coming off the Tom Sawyers island! I got to say a quick Hi 😊
Yeah at the end of the day it’s still a fun show and I’m glad it’s finally back.
I’m surprised they didn’t turn Fantasmic into “Tiana’s Fantasmic Adventure” 😂😂😂 Ugh
Wait why would it be Tiana’s Fantasmic Adventure?
@@classicalrenaissancerebel it was a joke because they turned everything else in the area to Tiana’s stuff
Oh yeah I totally get it lol
Tianas too busy throwing a party at the bayou adventure. lol.
I love your eyes 👀
Why thank you
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! I wish I could make a trip to see it.
Hope you enjoyed it!
They actually never brought the screen back, when Fantasmic returned post-covid.
I just noticed that when I was editing the video that it never came back. Bummer they didn’t use that effect again.
Does Michael have a channel?
No.
I am so happy the show is back dont get me wrong but if Disney needs to keep the show without the dragon it cant stay like that.
I’m sure they are working on a replacement dragon. Let’s hope.
Pls try the Rancho dining option for the show and let us know what you think
I’ll take a look at it.
❤❤. Hi Dylan Dickson batman guy my favorite character is peter pan.
Peter Pan is a classic character for sure.
Wooooooooooo!!!!!
Yasss!
Batman Dylan Dickson are you going back to knott's Berry farm soon.
I’ll be back at Knott’s soon
Yeah, the current Fantasmic presentation (climactic battle, lack of physical crocodile, carpet/other maintenance things) has turned out to be another "They charged us how much to get in?" moment. I hate to be going into that kinda downer critique mode, but the continual varying maintenance issues that I've seen since the shutdowns--ie effects on attractions not working--brings that question to mind. Admittedly, learning about these Fantasmic alterations & finally watching that Starcruiser video essay on the same day may have further unlocked my willingness to call them out on this matter haha.
The thing is we should be holding them to a high standard. It’s a multi billion dollar entertainment company, they SHOULD be providing the best they can produce.
Disney did exactly what I thought they would do…. Even less actually.
Welcome to the new “charge more, get less” Disney
Wishing they would use all those lights and more pyro in that sequence.
The Magic Carpet sequence for Aladdin and Jasmine is gone and not broken. That is one change they made. They instead have them dancing together on stage instead of flying on the carpet.
Yeah that’s a downgrade. lol
It’s that dragon…. That dragon messed everything up… 😉 😂
Yup! That pesky dragon lol
Why not even just bring the dragon back without fire?
The dragon was destroyed and they didn’t have another one built so that’s why it will be awhile until another one shows up.
You do know the dragon will return.
Not for awhile. But in the meantime they have like over 100 moving fixtures that they barely use which is lame.
What they replaced the dragon with honestly makes B mode dragon they used to show when the Dragon was malfunctioning look good. I mean, it was just a projection of a dragon, but at least it was a dragon. Also that awkward moment of silence (when the dragon would have been on stage) was, well... awkward. It really needed some dialog or at least more evil laughter to fill the silence.
That entire sequence just needs more lighting and pyro. Then it would have been a little better.
I am watching e.t. the extra-terrestrial movies now Dylan Dickson. 💙💙💜💜😎😎🤠🤠🌊🏄♂️🏴☠️💰☠️🌎
Iconic!
Literally spent a solid 30 seconds wondering how Disney could have changed the soundtrack to such godawful music before I realized you were doing a montage.
Yeah I had to put in some different music hahah
Yeah, ooh look she's really tall now.... oooooooooh so scary, what is Mickey ever going to do?
Has it been 12 months though? They could have rebuilt Murphy in 12 months for crying out loud.
Agreed. 12 months is more than enough time.
My thing is they could have used all that extra lighting and more pyro to make the scene better.
How was Fantasmic show Dylan
It was fun, was just disappointed in the villains scene.
Not a huge fan of the temp ending… was a bit underwhelming. They also need more lights / projections and water effects during the Peter Pan scene.
A lot more effects can be used in general in some sequences of the show.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD I wonder why they don’t? Is it budget or just laziness? Hmmmm
I’m quite sure I’m in the minority…..but I’ve NEVER thought Fantasmic was all that. 🤷🏼♂️🤔😎. Like World of Color, for ME, it’s just a way to draw the MASSES away from the rides!!! Even when I was 7 (a hundred years ago), I thought parades were boring, fireworks were cool (for a minute, then I was DONE), and meet an greets were creepy (“Mommy, I don’t CARE about Pluto or Mickey! I want to go on Space Mountain AGAIN!!”). ……my poor mother! 9 times on Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Big Thunder!! 🤷🏼♂️😂🤷🏼♂️😂
I mean shows are not for everyone. I’m in the middle for sure, I can see some shows but also say screw it and ride the rides instead.
At the beginning of the show, it was a little different. There wasn’t no projection mapping where Mickey pops out they use projection mapping after he comes up. There are some differences in the show that I’ve noticed. I’m a big phantasmic fan. I noticed these things. 😊
Big fan? It's spelled "Fantasmic!"
Yeah a few sequences got some cuts which is interesting.
Our dragon being work on in London England
Let’s hope they bring it online soon.
not a dragon
She’s gone until at least next year or so.
It sucks to stand and watch that show for 20 minutes
Better than being in a weird stadium like in Hollywood Studios.
@@LeftCoastDrones ok….
That’s the one positive of the one in Florida, built in seating.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD Also during that one part where they kinda did an electric show. To make it better that was a perfect opportunity to put power line there
This goes to show you how bad FOMO + social media + addiction is ruining society. Its literally the same show and everyone just had to be there lol btw these are all grown adults. The kids can barely even enjoy what was meant for THEM. Take me back to the good days before social media when people actually enjoyed life
I do agree with the social media ruining things and over hyping them. The kids thing, could also be true but there could also be many who are enjoying it. In reality even without just adults going lines would still be ridiculous. Plus most of the adults that go are people who grew up with everything Disney has to offer. So now that they have their own money they go and enjoy it. Unless today's parents are showing their kids the old Disney movies, most kids grow up with the new stuff. Which would be more DCA, and let's be honest, Galaxies Edge was mostly made for adults.
I’m with you on the fomo/social media issue but of all channels why come here to rant about Disney adults?
@jesters08joker growing up with disney is one thing but ALOT of these "disney adults" make Disneyland unbearable. Price hikes, fights, vloggers, ride breakdowns, genie plus...i could go on. Im just saying that magic that was Disney has been gone for years and its just now a FOMO feeling. Def not what Walt built
@@Lilhtotheizzo84 vloggers sure. Fights happen at every theme park, and Disney fights tend to be parents. The rest has nothing to do with "Disney Adults" but sure, think what you'd like. Maybe don't worry about how others choose to live their lives, and do what makes them happy.
It's a legitimate discussion, SkaLuke99. Why are you trying to gatekeep?
I disagree. I honestly thought Maleficent rising and firing pyro at Mickey and then acting like a fire bender was very climactic and clever. It would’ve been impossible for Disney to come up with a new dragon to match Murphy in just 12 months. If Fantasmic was a new show and I didn’t know there was supposed to be a dragon I would have still been blown away.
My thing is they could have used way more lighting tricks and sequences, more pyro, strobes, more fog and more fountain usage.
Well... boo. b mode everything.
Let’s hope the dragon comes back next year.
I would never say Fantasmic sucks but they definitely need the dragon back. Not sure what’s taking so long??
The show is great but that sequence is just not good without it. And what’s disappointing is they could have used a lot more lighting and special effects but they didn’t.
The show sucks now, the dragon is the climax but without it, you feel let down. Disney being cheap on this really sucks!
Shows great up until that point. Then it’s a downer.
