Unquestionably the best show at any Disney theme park. It is not an exaggeration to hype this show up as spectacular, as that is truly what it is. The effects (images projected on giant water screens, fireworks and lasers, the entire river catching on fire) are all first rate, the music is perhaps the best score Disney has ever come up with, and the overall theme of good vs. evil in Mickeys imaginative dream is perfectly realized. So many of your favorite Disney characters from your favorite Disney movies make appearances here (Pinocchio, the pink elephants from Dumbo, Jungle Book characters, Peter Pan, several princesses with their princes). The villains from Snow White, the Little Mermaid, Fantastia, and Sleeping Beauty all try to turn Mickeys dream into a nightmare, but of course good triumphs in the end. The rousing finale with the cast of characters on the Mark Twain Riverboat and Sorcerer Mickey high atop Tom Sawyer Island consistently leaves the audience cheering. It is true that it can be a challenge to see this show, especially if there is only one show during the day. If there are two, absolutely go to the second one. You will not have to wait anywhere near as long and you should find a reasonably good spot. Fantasmic is the epitome of what Disney does best. They spared no expense here, and, as the name implies, it is fantastic!
