Fantasmic! Walt Disney World or Disneyland

I have only seen the WDW version. From what I heard though, the DL one is better.

I like them both, they each have their own unique qualities that make them enjoyable. However, I do like being able to sit to enjoy Fantasmic in WDW. That beats standing, and standing,

and standing while waiting for, and then during, the show in DL.

Like them both, but DL wins because of Peter Pan's fight. i think it beat Radcliffe's scene hands down.

We look forward to seeing it every visit at WDW, and we love it! Especially while waiting the audience does "The WAVE"!!! Classic!

IMHO DL's Fantasmic is far superior to WDW. WDW's does feel smaller due to that ampitheater area, it has too many villians at the end (just becomes a mess), doesn't have Murphy, and replaced the Peter Pan vs. Captain Hook with a boring montage from Pocahontas.

Murphy alone blows the competition out of the water! Even if she's only around for a few seconds! I'm interested in what TDS is going to do for their version of Fantasmic!

Forgive me, what is Murphy?

Murphy is the nickname given to the new dragon in the show. She was nicknamed after "Murphy's Law"...everything that can go wrong, will.

She was set to debut early last summer, however due to her "stage fright" among other technical mumbo-jumbo...she wouldn't work. Finally in September, she made her grand debut!

I don't have access to my pictures, so these were the ones I could find quickly. I also noticed that there is a very blurry picture of one of Ursula's eels that swims through at one point in the show. They were also new last year.

Whatever TDL does, it will be Fantasmic for sure!

I've been hanging around Jacca too long

Seriously though, their show will be awesome, they do things right over there and spare no expense...

From what I read on the D23 site, apparently there is going to be a spread about it in the summer edition of the magazine!

I can hardly contain myself....

I posted this on another thread, but I figured it belongs here too...

Another difference between the two that I like is in DL you can view the show from various angles, so you don't always see the same show. My favorite spot is in the smoking section by the rafts to Tom Sawyer's Island. Granted, I don't smoke, and if it's crowded I won't stand in a puff of smoke to view the show, but because you are right in front and at the tail end of the "parade" you see things a little differently and get personal love from the characters as they are on the Mark Twain. It's cool, but the one drawback is you can't see Pinoochio, so I don't reccomend it for anyone who hasn't seen the show. Another spot I like (and this is because I like behind the scenes stuff) is by the Hungry Bear Restaurant.

Do you know where you can buy just the magazine? ~ since I doubt I will renew my D23 membership this year...

I think the subscription to the magazine is almost as expensive....

I've been jonesing for a bit of DLR myself.

MmeLeota: last time I did DLR Fantasmic was from a restaurant area along the Rivers of Americas. Can't remember the name (would need to consult a map to look it up) but it had some outside tables and chairs you could view the show. A couple we had never met invited us to join them at their table (it had a better view) and we all watched it together. The view was great and the company was good too! Made the entertainment experience a "social event".
