Fantasmic! received a warm welcome home on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, to Disney's Hollywood Studios, as more than 5,000 enthusiastic cast members and their guests gave a "Fantasmic'" and emotional response to the show throughout.

The beloved nighttime spectacular returned to Hollywood Hills Amphitheater with an emotional #DisneyCastLife preview filled with huge smiles, passionate cheers, and a very enthusiastic standing ovation.
