Compared to Disneyland's Fantasmic, this show is a huge disappointment. However the stand seating is much nicer then having to jostle for a spot in DL and seating is great.
Pros:

I saw Molly’s video and was surprised at first with the low rating. I gave Fantasmic a try on my last trip and sadly I think this one is in need of some updates. I think the special effects and cast are great, but the story needs some work. I think the story line is a bit odd and could use some more popular references. While I love a good classic, I think tweaks to the story could make this a 10.
Pros:
Great effects Snack Booths Great CastCons:
Storyline is dated and very scary for young kids.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/28/2020

Every two years or so our family gives this show another chance. Then we regret it. The song choices are awful. Pocahontas? Big dragon. There’s a good chance of getting wet. Images are projected on blurry water. It’s mildly violent and story is boring.
Pros:
The fire. The boat at the end with all the characters on itCons:
Too negative. Wet. Blurry. Hodgepodge of characters. Why does this attract huge crowds? It’s not that goodReviewed by DisneyGirlMelissa Review Date: 02/19/2024

My FAVORITE night time show! The music starts and I get serious chills. Let's start with the music. Bruce Healy's score is so thrilling. It really directs how the show feels and contributes to the ebb and flow of the action. The story is fun and exciting. They really do an excellent job with large scale slight of hand and stage trickery. I've seen this show so many times and I still get excited during the Pocahontas battle scene. And I WILL be crying by the end.
Pros:
Wonderful musical score! Great technical feats. Fun story. Exciting theatrical moments.Cons:
You may get a little wet down in the front... but it's Florida so maybe this is a pro instead!Reviewed by HeartBreakKris Review Date: 06/28/2021

Cannot wait for this show to reopen! The music is great. Seeing all the characters in the finale just warms my heart & it feels like real Disney magic brought to life. As a California native I do have to say it’s not quite as good as Disneyland’s version. But still amazing!!
Pros:
One of the best shows in all of Walt Disney WorldCons:

This is such an awesome show! The music is great, there are so many different characters and the fireworks, and the water projections are beautiful. There are lots of under rated characters in the show and lots of villains. Nothing is better than seeing Mickey as Steamboat Willie driving that huge boat with dozens of characters riding it. My family has so many fun memories watching this show and it is one we prioritize every trip! Watching this show is the perfect way to end your Hollywood Studios day!
Pros:
Lots of characters, great music and awesome fireworks.Cons:
The parts of the show with villains (specifically the scene with Mickey fighting dragon Maleficent and any other scenes focusing on different villains) may be a bit scary for some kids and some scenes can get quite loud.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/15/2021

tbh, i was a little disappoint with the show, after seeing the disneyland version (which is phenomenal) i had high hopes for the wdw version, did not meet my expectation, but what i really hate was that the dragon seen dragon is just a puppet with rods while disneyland use a giant animatronic, but some scenes of the show a pretty cool such as the ending with the characters which is iconic and the princess scene. i really do like that wdw version has a stage. i do recommend the show if you've never been to hollywood studios
Pros:
its a pretty good showCons:
needs a refurb in my opinionReviewed by Lucinda Review Date: 04/07/2021

Not as good as Disneyland's version, but this show is SO! GOOD! This is so much better than the Star Wars fireworks in my opinion, and the special effects are incredible!
