(May 13, 1992–Present) BACKSTORY: Disneyland Entertainment was asked to create a night-time spectacular involving water and fireworks to fill the space at the Rivers of America. Disneyland Entertainment employed the resources of Walt Disney Feature Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering as collaborators. The Rivers of America had to be drained in order to install the show’s extensive lighting, effects and sound equipment, in addition to a new track for The Columbia and Mark Twain. The walkways in New Orleans Square were also modified, but were already considered one of the benefits of building the show in that location. The “story” behind Fantasmic is that guests are getting a peak into the imagination of Mickey Mouse, as he attempts to ward off the evil forces that invade his dreams. Thin plot, but plenty of fun visual impact!
