Pluto
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
Neon and sunsets seem to work very well together. This shot of a neon Pluto on Hollywood Boulevard really came out nice!
Departing Guests
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
With a final look at the departing guests, I decided to start getting over to the staging area for Fantasmic. I’m hoping that it’s not too crowded there yet!
Tower of Terror
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
Fantastic is put on all the way in the back of the park, near the Tower of Terror. I should be there soon. I’m seeing more people heading there now so I’m thinking that it will probably be crowded.
Mouse About Town
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
I’m trying to get to the Fantasmic stage as quickly as I can but I keep getting distracted by these great photo opportunities. I’m loving how much neon is used in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Tower Hotel
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
This attraction looks great during the day but it’s even better looking as it starts getting dark. I think that dusk is the best time for pictures of Tower of Terror. It also looks good at night butLeia mais
I’m Here!
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
I got a seat for Fantasmic but it’s not as close to the stage as I was hoping. I’m actually very surprised by how crowded it is here. I’ve never seen Fantasmic so I’m really looking forward to this!
It’s Mickey!
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Finally the show has begun! Mickey Mouse just appeared on stage and the crowd went wild. This is going to be a great show!
Water and Lights
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
The water and lighting is making this show look really good. I’m so happy that I decided to come here tonight!
This is Great!
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
I had thought that I wasn’t close enough but I’m starting to feel that sitting further back is probably better. The staging area is huge and it’s looking like all of it is going to be used forLeia mais
Good Lighting!
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
The dramatic lighting used during this show was very effective and definitely made Fantasmic more interesting and exciting to watch.
It’s Rafiki
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Boats with different characters began sailing across the lake but, unfortunately, it was so dark that it was a bit difficult to make out who they were and nearly impossible to get usable pictures.Leia mais
Governor Ratcliffe Arrives
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
The stage has been transformed into colonial Virginia and we see Governor Ratcliffe and his men claiming the land and, I suppose, making their plans. There’s no spoken words in this show andLeia mais
The Fight
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Suddenly, the Virginia Company is attacked by, what I assume are Indians, and there’s a lot of fighting and running around. I’m glad that I’ve seen the Pocahontas movie or I’d have no ideaLeia mais
Belle and the Beast
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
As the fighting ended, Belle and the Beast go sailing by on one of the many floats. I’m not really able to follow the story of Fantasmic and I’m starting to wonder if there even is a story to thisLeia mais
Snow White
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Snow White and the Prince floated by next. I’m starting to realize that there is no coherent story in this show. It’s just a collection of scenes all put together with many good effects.
The Evil Queen
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
There’s a lot of Disney villains appearing in this show. I rarely see them in other shows or greeting guests around the parks, so this makes for a nice change.
Jafar
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Jafar, from Aladdin, appeared next. This was the biggest, and best, of the characters to appear so far. I’m thinking that there are a bunch of people underneath the snake costume, kind of like theLeia mais
Mickey to the Rescue
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Mickey, dressed up as the Brave Little Tailor, comes out to fight Jafar the snake. I understand that Mickey Mouse is the star of the show, but why is he dressed up as the Brave Little Tailor?
Maleficent
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
After Mickey defeats Jafar, Maleficent the dragon appears. This is the biggest character in Fantasmic yet so I’m that this is probably going to be the finale.
Fire and Water
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
This is definitely going to be the final scene with the Disney villains because it looks like they are pulling out all the stops with the fire and water displays. It’s getting very exciting!
The Dragon
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
The pictures I took of Maleficent are the best ones I got from Fantasmic. I’m really glad that these came out so well because I think that this giant dragon was the highlight of the show.
Is it Over?
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Mickey defeated Maleficent, of course, so I’m guessing that the show is over? It’s kind of anticlimactic and I was expecting a better ending than this.
It’s Not Over Yet!
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Apparently the show isn’t over yet because I see a white steamship driving out of the mist. It looks like it has a lot of characters on it too.
Steamboat Willie
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Mickey Mouse is piloting the boat, dressed up as his first appearance ever, Steamboat Willie. This was a cartoon that was released in 1928.
Steamboat Passengers
21 de outubro de 2013, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
Steamboat Willie is especially notable for being one of the first cartoons with synchronized sound. Walt Disney understood from early on that synchronized sound was the future of film. SteamboatLeia mais
