www.themeparkinsider.com: Tonight was supposed to be the final performance of Fantasmic! at Tokyo DisneySea, which was closing after a nearly nine-year run. However, the entire park closed last month along with the rest of the Tokyo Disney Resort, due to Covid-19, preventing the show from completing its run tonight.

This is a truly dazzling video. Disney’s firework and projection shows always make me cry. They really have that formula down. I am hopeful that after the pandemic is over in a year or two, we will be more generous to one another. All of these huge corporations suspending subscription costs and releasing content early or for free just proves how much good could be done if greed were not a factor. I completely disagree with anyone who thinks bootlegs are morally wrong because “people won’t go see a show live if they can see it for free on the internet” and I think what is happening right now will prove this to be wrong, which will hopefully open up opportunities for more people to stream theater after this. Also wow this looks like a dream job for anyone in VMD, although I can’t possibly imagine how difficult it would be to do.
I cried when I first saw this video. Fantasmic! is my most favorite show in Tokyo Disney Resort, followed by Happies Celebration! in Tokyo DisneyLand. Whenever I visited Tokyo DisneySea, I always couldn’t wait to see this show at the end of the day. Technological aspects used in the show such as the water screen were spectacular, and watching it live always gave me goosebumps. The atmosphere created by the great sound and lighting design always made me feel like I am literally enchanted. Also, the show was very rich in characters; you could see most of the main Disney characters on the water floats. It’s like a dream.
This show began after 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. I remember the opening night being postponed because of the earthquake. Since then, the show certainly had been a symbol of recovery and gave many, many people hope and happiness. It is very sad that this show had to come to an end like this, but I am sure that Tokyo DisneySea is working on a new great entertainment. I am looking forward to it!
Ever since the first time I went to Disney Land, I have been amazed by so much of what happens in that park. Beyond the dazzling shows filled with sounds, lighting, media and special effects, Disney truly has created their own world in their parks across the world. While shows like Fantasmic are a treat to watch, there is so much more to Disney than just that. Their parks are so committed to being a world of wonder, and it truly shows. From how they collect trash to how they deal with emergencies, they never skip a beat. If you didn't pay attention, you would never notice these things happening. For a while I worked with a cast member, what they call their employees, who told me a story of being in the park when someone was killed. He said, Disney immediately shut down the area used themed barricades, isolating the incident, thus not ruining the Disney magic for any other theme park goers. This truly shows their commitment to the Disney experience.
I did not think that I would be beginning my day watching twenty-three minutes of a Disney show - yet here we are. I have never gotten to experience one of these first hand (the rest of my family sent me a blurry video of the California Adventure World of Color show when they visited while I was at an internship this past summer...thanks guys…) but I wish I could. I thought it was cool through my computer screen, so I can’t even imagine the experience first hand. It really makes me appreciate the thorough work of Disney to make spectacular shows - but I realize the amount of people that are needed to make sure this show runs smoothly. There were so many elements - that video cone, the little moving platforms on the water, the fireworks, the lights, the sounds, the performers, everything. It is nice to see such a high quality video provided even if the show couldn’t have the closing it probably would have wished.
