FANTASMIC! Behind the Scenes!

[@AndrewPriester]

Castmembers are one of the reasons why Disney Parks are so enjoyable A huge shout out to them

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

I agree!!! The opening night of Fantasmic was so hectic and for the CM to kindly share about this spot knowing it was so crazy was so amazing. I'm so glad I took her advice!

[@coasters_bgw]

Dragon is coming back. I've seen pics of the construction in London. Very impressive

[@dominicmorales24]

There's supposed to show the concept art at D23!

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@dominicmorales24 that would be amazing!

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@coasters_bgw Oh that's so good to hear! I was trying to research it and I couldn't find anything! So I'm just trying to be patient but l'm glad to hear it's in the works!

[@coasters_bgw]

@@CabFamilyAdventures Oh yeah ofc they keep the info under lock and key but someone leaked it to me

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@coasters_bgw that's so amazing! Feel free to leak it to me via email or through IG dm hahahaha JK Either way thanks for the info!

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

11:45 the Neverland gang is back. I am so happy that they are back especially Captain Hook he’s my favorite pirate, captain and my second favorite Disney villain and Peter Pan is my second favorite Disney movie.

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

I am too! I love Peter Pan!!! And Captain Hook was so funny! You'll have to see it from this spot again now that it's Peter Pan!

[@small5th]

At 12:48 the characters disembarking are the characters that will become other ones for the Mark Twain finale. Those staying on are probably stuntmen who only have roles in the Peter Pan sequence

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Thank you so much for that info! It was so great to see it all and assess the entire thing ☺️ Thank you for watching!

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

I actually did some videos like this in the past when I was at Disneyland when the pirate section was still Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Really!? Oh how amazing!!! I just heard of this spot opening night from a cast member! So it was perfect timing since I was near around the time of fantasmic starting so I decided to stop and wait!

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

@@CabFamilyAdventures usually when there’s no spots to watch Fantasmic usually I would actually like to look backstage and wave at the characters.

[@danielpos9390]

The only sucky thing is the backstage part. You don’t get to see Mickey because he’s away from the Mark twain doing his sorcerer part.

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@danielpos9390 yeah I was bummed not seeing steamboat Willie but that makes total sense.

[@danielpos9390]

@@CabFamilyAdventures if you’re a little bit down before the boat turns then you see him, but when the boat fully turns you don’t see him

[@tim-obeartheclawmachineguy9616]

best thing ever! thanks for chasing the Mark Twain too

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@tim-obeartheclawmachineguy9616 thank you!!! I had sooo much fun. It was a great moment for me 😊

[@xxMARKUSss]

Hang out at the hungry bear between 6:30-7:30 and you’ll see all the performers and costume carts heading to the island. Also after the last show around 11:15 you’ll see them heading back to hungry bear

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Oh thank you! So do you see the characters dressed? Or just the costume carts etc? Either way it's awesome.

[@xxMARKUSss]

@@CabFamilyAdventures performers are in all black and some carry wig boxes. Costumes arrive a little earlier in carts you can’t see any of the actual costumes just the costuming team pushing like 8 carts

[@ObvRod]

you forgetting who repunzel is was hilarious 🤣🤣

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

I know 🤣🤣 I was so embarrassed 🤣🤣 I went completely blank!!!

[@nathnramon]

Thats cool! All the characters at one spot. Great photo spot!

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Right!? It made my night! 🙌🏽 Our oldest son doubted me doing it and he wasn't with me during this livestream so when he watched it he said "Ok mom! You were right! I want to go to this spot now!" Hahaha It's something different if you've seen the show.

[@ThemeParkCasual]

Fantastic video!

Hi Isabel!! Wow, great video, might have to have your same spot, for a stream lol if you don’t mind me using that spot 😆 that’s awesome

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Isn't it such a fun spot. I'm so thankful for the cast member that told me about it! Selfishly i totally mind! Hahahaha But not selfishly, I don't mind. We need to all support each other!

[@kikiandluca]

Good stuff!

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

It was so much fun!! Thanks for being on Live!

[@keithjohnson1931]

OMG thanks for sharing amazing ❤❤

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

You're welcome!

[@Newhorizons4u]

Where did Ariel appear from? Was she behind that rock looking shield? Or did that just use that to shield your view of her hopping onto the rock?

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Wasn't that neat! I wasn't paying attention when I was recording it and then all of a sudden she appeared hahahaha So I think they carried her on and they were covering her with the rock! And a blanket! Then when she was ready they removed it.

[@xxMARKUSss]

She’s standing next to Eric starting at 6:00 she’s in all black tho. She walks on with two dressers one blocks the view while the other helps dress her and put the fin on.

[@michaelbilgen2976]

At 6:25, you can see her getting onto the barge.

[@richardmcilvain329]

where is mickey on the boat

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

So someone else mentioned that he goes away because at that point he is doing the ending part of Fantasmic. So they won't have 2 mickeys visibly out at the same time to keep the "magic"

[@richardmcilvain329]

@@CabFamilyAdventures ah i see

[@rickramsey9868]

That was great. Thanks so much for this video.

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it. It was so much fun!

[@thefouranimationproduction]

I've always saw them

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

That's awesome! This was my first time thanks to a cast member who suggested it to me! I didn't know you could see them here ☺️

[@richardmcilvain329]

Now is this spot where you were filming was it open to the public could anyone watch there or was it only a few people

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

Yes! Totally open to the public! It's where you would normally get in line to ride the canoes just before hungry bear restaurant. However they are blocking off this entire section at the beginning of July to keep doing construction for Tianna etc. So the restaurant is going to be temporarily closed and the canoes will be temporarily closed. So I'm assuming this part will also be blocked off as well 😏

[@richardmcilvain329]

@@CabFamilyAdventures i see i was just wondering if it was exclusive to certain people

[@dominicmorales24]

Cant see this at Hollywood Studios

[@Spacemountaineer92]

too bad they don’t light the torches on the barges anymore i wonder if it was a safety hazard so they stopped doing it 😢

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@Spacemountaineer92 oh my goodness I forgot they used to do that! Do you remember if they were still doing during its last run? The time with the dragon? Maleficent catching on fire really messed up a few things. 😏 We noticed too that since they started back up this time around, they have already removed some of the pyrotechnics. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ So that's a bummer.

[@michaelbilgen2976]

Why does it look like it's still daytime?

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

@@michaelbilgen2976 does it? I'm not sure. It was definitely night time. Fantasmic is at 9p and 10:30p

[@michaelbilgen2976]

​@@CabFamilyAdventures I'm just saying by looking at the sky, it looks like daytime.
