Fantasmic! Moves to 8:30 P.M. Nightly at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Starting March 8

The earlier time reflects Disney’s ongoing crowd-management scheduling.

Overview

  • Disney’s published park listings show the nightly start shifting from 9:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. beginning March 8, 2026.
  • Fan sites including AllEars, KennythePirate, and Disney Food Blog reported the update based on the official schedule.
  • Visitors may need to adjust evening dining plans, Lightning Lanes, and Fantasmic! dining packages to align with the earlier show.
