  • The long awaited return of Fantasmic is finally here! Once more Mickey is on stage at Tom Sawyer Island. Once more we get to see this amazing show. A show which I believe one of the best shows Disney has every produced ANYWHERE! We'll show you the show and give you our thoughts of how it compares to the show as we left before the tragic demise of the Maleficent dragon. We'll also review the dining package we purchased which provided our seat for this momentous occasion!

    I am so glad the show is back. But, its weird that they marketed this as a refirb with new effects when its really just running the show in b mode after being away for 13 months. I didnt expect a physical dragon, but I did expect an attempt at a dragon effect, like projection on the water or something.

      Absolutely. For me though, it's knowing that no matter what they did, someone somewhere would point out a criticism, right or wrong. And just being tired of people finding issues when some of us just want to be happy with what it is. Sometimes it feels like you can't just be happy with something and the critiques are louder than those of us who are just happy.

  • @A.E.S.R
    @A.E.S.R Před 3 měsíci +66

    They kinda rushed it and it was possible because of summer crowds.
    Stuff missing or changed (what I've seen)
    -Tick tock croc missing. Apparently it was removed entirely when they redid rivers of America because pirates of the Caribbean was going to be permanent but after the johnny depp allegations. They brought it back (RUMOR)
    -Peter Pan did not fly. Before confronting hook, Peter is supposed to go to the front of the ship get cornerd by pirates and then "fly" to confront hook.
    -They actually re orchestrated the Peter Pan music
    -Aladdin and Jasmine dance obviously because the magic carpet mechanical arm was damaged by the fire.
    -Maleficent on a stick (Disney fan name) is temporary till Murphy returns.
    Now that's the interesting part. Disney redid the soundtrack but left the Dragon segment in, they didn't change it besides remove the transformation segment to bring Murphy up from the stage. Disney could've changed that entire part but didn't. It gets me thinking that yes a dragon will come eventually but not soon. Honestly I'm hearing from family and friend who work at Disney entertainment division that the request for the dragon was above average and know that Disney hears the request. Knowing Disney Murphy will probably be announced (hopefully) by the 70th anniversary.
    Overall good to see FANTASMIC back and wasn't replaced but should've been delayed a bit more, that being said Frashbake said it best, people are working again which is good.

      @@cvdelsanto from what I've heard family that are friends with Disney imagineering, the fire burned the support platform that had Murphy in it, the carpet arm, melted a bit, basically being a safety hazard and many electric wiring were completely totalled. The fact they were also working on the treehouse, Tiana's splash mountain, AND working on the haunted mansion's new queue line. They had to do it in increments.
      That fire while devastating is a learning lesson in why you DON'T GET CHEAP DISNEY. The thing that really upsets me was Murphy never got any maintenance months before the fire and you can tell. Stiffer neck, eyes not closing all the way and not as bright as they used to be, nostrils not lighting up or shooting out smoke.
      That's why I'm very nervous about Tiana's splash mountain, because I don't want the audio animatronics to be in prime for a couple of years then become stiff like the splash mountain characters.

    I was there. My 2 cents....I still love Fantasmic. Peter Pan is a respectable change from Pirates of the Caribbean. Not having the iconic fire spitting dragon and running in B mode is a little sad. I thought the Imagineers were going to come up with something new between B mode and Full on Malefecant dragon, but I guess the budget just wasn't there, because they had enough time. Im sad about the Mark Twain being only about 80% full than it normally is. No Cinderella mice, no Mad Hatter or Alice, no Army Men and Jessie. It felt a little empty....Overall I'm glad it's back, but this is definitely B mode.

    Back in 1992, my friend, my brother, and I saw Fantasmic the week before its actual starting date, boy has it changed. I really hope they bring Tik Tok, and of course Murphy. Like a fine wine, Fantasmic just get better as it ages. There were a few bugs but all this was the first show in a little over a year, I am sure they will work these bugs as time goes on. I am just super stoked to see it back, Murphy or not but with our fingers and toes, she make her triumphal return soon and the crowd will give her a huge pop. BTW totally agreed, the CMs, the tech people, the riggers, the behind the scenes people, countless others that I failed to mention; are back to work and to me that is a good thing. Thank to Disney and bringing this such an amazing show and thanks FreshBaked for sharing this with us.

I agree the food is nice but if a cheaper option was available I would have gone with that just for the guaranteed seat for the show. I did love the excitement of everyone there the energy was great; but I do think the show feels a little incomplete with no tick tock, no dragon, and the mark twain noticeably having fewer characters.

    So I just watched the original, 2.0, and this new one in succession and I can say this is actually a great mixture of the 2 versions! I can actually appreciate this one for what it is and actually like it better now that I have compared them. The 2.0 version was way too busy and the music changed a little too much. This version brings back a bit of that original magic with updated technology.
    I think the lighting, water, and pyrotechnics are closer to the original and match the music a lot better than 2.0. I also love that percussion is more prominent again in the jungle book set because I was really bummed when 2.0 made it more electronic. I also do think Peter Pan fits better than PoC, even though I love the music & effects of it, because Fantasmic is all animation so PoC doesnt fit.
    Now that I've seen all the versions, I'm pretty happy with this one! And I just hope it continues to improve (add dragon and characters on Mark Twain).

    Loved having Peter Pan back but did miss Tik Tok as the projection of Tik Tok is just not as good.
    In the 2nd show the Columbia was being pushed by a motor boat which I thought was Tik Tok at first! LOL
    Of course, I missed the awesome Murphy but okay for now. Happy it wasn't a projection of Murphy which I've seen twice when Murphy wasn't working. Also seen Murphy multiple times fail to spit fire which was disappointing.

    Maybe someone else has already made note of this, and it's been years since I saw the show in person. My memory is that when Murphy first showed up so did Tick-Tock Croc and the Floaty Ursula at the top of the villain sequence. Anyone else remember them? And they were all fabricated of similar external materials. I wonder if Disney got rid of all the pieces that were made out of that material from the show, and that's why we didn't see the Croc or Ursula. I also remember the first time I saw the show it was pre-Murphy, and Maleficent went up the elevator like she did here. LOVE the thorny vine pieces! Much better than just black fabric. Frankly, just the music from this show makes me tear up with nostalgia. SO glad it's back!

    So my sister and I watched the 10:30 show. We weren't able to get a dinner package and so we tried to get a mostly face on viewing spot. The spot we chose (at the rail in front of Cafe Orleans) was not a good spot. We could sort of see the stage scenes that were higher than the stage on the island, but there was so much spray the projections weren't visible. We could see the shows on the Columbia and Mark Twain, which we enjoyed. I'm hoping to come again the end of July for our 50th anniversary and get a Blue Bayou dining package (DH and I are too old to sit on the ground and DH can't stand for long periods, so we need to have chairs). I'm sure we'll be able to get a much better experience. Thanks for letting us see and enjoy from a much better vantage point than what we had.

    Hi David. Will you be doing an updated run down of last minute places to catch the show.? At 76 getting up and down and sitting unsupported on the ground especially, and even standing for a long time is just undoable for me unfortunately. Thanks again for your report and infectious enthusiasm!

    David and Liz, you outdid yourselves with this vlog! I loved the close up shots of Fantasmic! I am just over the moon that the show is back! Disneyland wouldn’t be the same without it! Having Peter Pan return was great! It’s like it never left! Shows like World of Color and Fantasmic add so much depth to the resort itself! The experience alone is amazing!
    I just want to thank you and congratulate you on approaching 200k subscribers. You inspire others! You bring so much joy to the channel! You deserve all the love an appreciation 😊😊

    Couldn't they TEMPORARILY bring back the original Fantasmic dragon, the one they were using before they installed Murphy? Sure the original old dragon looked like junk compared to Murphy, but at least it's still somewhat of a dragon, better than nothing. And it would just be temporary until the new Murphy returns.

    • @kyramahlervolleyball

      That's what I was thinking, the OG Dragon on a stick is probably sitting in archives. But at the same time I think people would be more disappointed with the Dragon on a Stick rather than B mode, since B mode still looks great compared to the dragon on the stick.

  • @Brandyrose111
    @Brandyrose111 Před 3 měsíci

    The Maleficent dragon being gone doesn’t make the rest of the show less. But it does make the ending less of a punch.
    I feel like the dragon symbolizes the big dramatic dark evil that seems impossible. But then Mickey overcomes it and then the mark twain comes out like an end credits scene and the fireworks.
    I feel like if they’re not going to bring back Maleficent maybe do something else that has a similar effect.
    For some reason I thought Chernabog was gonna rise up from the floor. But anyways. That’s what I think, still love fantasmic so much!

    First and foremost rest in Peace to one of the greatest Disney Song writers of all time, Richard M. Sherman of the Sherman Brothers. He was 95 years old. As far as Fantasmic, that brought happy tears to my eyes. The dragon was great but for us old schoolers we saw the original many, many times, without it. So for me personally I was more excited to see Peter Pan back on the Columbia Sailing Ship! I agree that Tic Toc (the crocodile) should be following the ship like the original. I suspect that will happen as I noticed that they were using special motors to push the Columbia which is not normal, and would keep them from brining out Tic Toc. I have always been so Amazed and Proud that both boats (the Mark Twain and the Columbia) are used to their full potential in the use of this show. Walt is looking down is very proud. Thanks again Fresh Baked.

    I love all the versions of Fantasmic I've ever seen. I love the story first of all, and the music, the lyrics, and the effects... it's the whole thing. And it takes live performers to make this show stand out and I LOVE seeing them do their thing. Most of all, it's MICKEY. I get so excited when Mickey says "This is MY dream!" YAY!! It doesn't matter to me if Maleficent turns into a dragon. Yes, it was cool to have one, but it's not a deal breaker for me. And a great ending when the fairies come out and then the boat comes around the bend with all our friends. Yeah. I love it all. Thank you for being there you guys! It brought back so many great memories, I got teary-eyed. I NEVER get tired of Fantasmic! ♥

    I am sure the show is great in a different way, the end was definitely better then before. But come on a 20 story dragon comes out of nowhere and breathes fire! I mean they even had a show when it caught fire, half of pioneering greatness is watching that very thing burst into flames. It looked great the lights on the show platform was a great touch, I felt like the beginning of the old show was better.
    the beanstock I think we could do without, I would be okay with the voodoo guy from princess and the frog doing something and taking the dragon spot.

    It’s great that it’s back. I did notice the Mark Twain was not as full as it usually was, so hopefully they are working on that. I have to say, I for one am glad Peter Pan is back. Not only was Jack and Red hard to understand on the Pirate ship, it also took away from the fact that everything else was based on an animated movie. Pirates was the only thing based on live action, so it’s fitting that Peter and Hook are back supporting their animated colleagues. Yay!

    Fantasmic is a great show. I do feel sorry though for those that have mot seen the show with Maleficent as her dragon self. Many years ago I took my friends 3 children to DL and got the dessert party that use to be hosted on the balcony above Pirates All 3 kids ages 5 to 14 were amazed when the dragon appeared on stage. Fantasmic will continue to be an all time favorite stage show, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get some version of Murphy back.
