The Disney Parks Blog officially announced that the already humongous Fantasmic! theater will soon be expanded to include 1,000 new seats (the standing-only area will be removed). The blog also released two new renderings of the new projection show that will soon debut at the Magic Kingdom Park. Take a look:

Nighttime Spectaculars: New ‘Celebrate the Magic’ Images, Expanded Seating for Fantasmic!

When the sun sets here at Disney Parks, it’s time for our nighttime spectaculars. And tonight, we’re sharing a few updates on what’s to come this year at the Walt Disney World Resort, including plans to expand seating for Fantasmic! shows at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Beginning in November, “Celebrate the Magic” at Magic Kingdom Park will transform Cinderella Castle with spectacular new projection effects. Disney Parks Blog readers are among the first to see our newest sneak peek images.

When shows begin, “Celebrate the Magic” will feature all-new music, storytelling and special effects. It’ll be a journey to the heart of the most beloved Disney stories and characters, according to show director Katy Harris.

Also, one of my favorite nighttime spectaculars at Disney Parks will be growing. We’re installing an additional 1,000 seats in the Hollywood Hills Ampitheatre for the popular Fantasmic! shows. Fantasmic! is performed nightly and you can view our online calendar for specific dates and times.

Well, this is certainly a good news. It is much better to be seated than to stand and watch Fantasmic!, isn't it? In addition to that, this is the best time of the year to work on the theater, as it is the slow season, so nobody should be impacted at this time (usually the theater does not completely fill in this period of the year). What about the new images for the "Celebrate the Magic" nighttime show? They are great too in our opinion. What do you think? Feel free to share your opinions with us!
