Overnight fireworks testing began at Disney's Hollywood Studios over the weekend sparking speculation if it was Disney testing the pyro for the return of Fantastic! on November 3, or if it was a possible reintroduction of a fireworks show to the theme park. Walt Disney World informed guests staying at any of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels located in the EPCOT Resort Area that they should be aware that overnight fireworks and rehearsal activities are planned to take place at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The dates given were last night, Sunday, October 23, as well as Wednesday, October 27 and Thursday, October 28, from approximately 11 pm to 11:30 pm. Resort Guests were told they may hear loud noises during those times. Yes, perhaps the park is finally getting ready to reintroduce fireworks shows, but we think its more likely that the firework testing and rehearsals are for the return of Fantastic!
