FANTASMIC! IS BACK AT DISNEYLAND! The Nighttime Spectacular RETURNS! Monte Cristo at Blue Bayou

I went to Disneyland for the return of Fantasmic! on May 24, 2024. The show has been on hiatus since April 2023 after the dragon burned down. I had Blue Bayou for lunch, and got a great table right next to the water watching the Pirate boats go by.

For dinner, I tried the new Hot Honey Chicken Tenders from stage Door Cafe. Getting a spot for Fantasmic! was stressful and chaotic, we were told we couldn't stand in certain places to wait for a spot, but others were allowed to stand in areas where we were kicked out of because they ignored and disobeyed the Cast Members and security guards.

I wish the rules of the standby areas were more clear, and I wish they were enforced fairly. The people that broke the rules and ignored/disobeyed Cast Members were rewarded with the best spots, while those that followed the rules had trouble finding a spot at all. It didn't seem fair.

There are large areas reserved for people who payed for dining packages, but the areas for standby are much smaller and tightly packed with people. I wish disneyland had more general viewing areas, but since New Orleans Square is so small, and because so much of the space is devoted to reserved viewing, finding a spot to watch the show was impossible unless you go there about 2 hours before showtime, like I did.

I'm so glad Fantasmic! is finally back!
