Fantasmic not Festival of Fantasy

Didn't they take it out when it started on fire? Or was it put back, and then taken out again? I honestly don't know, as I don't keep up on the parade.

It seems to be on and off for a few months now.

She was there last month so it’s nothing continuous.

There must be something going on with it for a while even in the summer quite a few times when I went to see Fantasmic the dragon would be missing.

Post-NYE crowds have become ridicoulous the past few years. Sandwiched between the holidays and the RunDisney events. While people expect the parks to "die down" after NYE, crowds stick around for a while (especially when APs are unblocked next week).

Not since its come back in 2022. Actually there was like a one-off night when they did the normal 2 night showings plus an additional AP-exclusive showing during the week it came back in November 2022.
