"Glow with the Show" Debuts at Fantasmic! - VIDEO


As previously announced by the Walt Disney World Resort, the new "Glow with the Show" ears officially debuted at Disney's Hollywood Studios on October 15, 2013, with the 7:30 p.m. Fantasmic! show. Today we will see how these new devices work. Let's see first of all where they're selling these interactive ears:


The biggest number of "Glow with the Show" ears are sold - unsurprisingly - near the Fantasmic! theater. This includes Sunset Boulevard and the pathway to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater itself:


The former Downtown Disney truck was used to sell the ears near the amphitheater:






As a side note, the Fantasmic! stage seems to have received some new "themed" nets:





A huge camera was set up in the theater to record some parts of the show due to the debut of these new ears:



At first, very few people had actually bought the ears, but after a while, the number increased (also because some ears were handed out for free to Guests that bought the Fantasmic! dinner package that night):





And now, here's what many were waiting to see: we have a video of the ENTIRE Fantasmic! show which also includes a look at how these "Glow with the Show" interact with the performance. Take a look, and enjoy!:


Now that you have seen this video, what do you think about these new "Glow with the Show" ears? Do you think they may become a distraction during the show, or do you agree that they actually enhance the experience?

  1. I think it looks good and fun for all. Look we all have seen the show hundreds of time its not so bad to look at the crowds and see the lights.

  2. Not having the mobile site does make viewing it a worse experience. View is very different and access doesn't feel natural. This has made me view fewer posts and find myself skimming the home page instead of looking through pages. Just my opinion and would really like the mobile version back if at all possible as I love your site.

  5. I think it's nice for the performers. It really distracts from the show and doesn't work because of that. If Disney think they should enhance Fantasmic (and they should, it's not worth to stay for at night) they should enhance the show and not ask people to shell out money for a lame hat.
    I can see this work at a firework show that is around the audience or at the Osborn lights where the viewers are also in the middle of it. Watching a show on a stage only flashes lights in the eyes of the people behind them and is annoying as hell!!!
