Disneyland has announced that its celebrated nighttime spectacular, ‘Fantasmic!’ will be paused until at least May 28th of this year. The popular show, which features amazing fountains, stunning pyrotechnics, and classic Disney characters, has been on hiatus since there was a recent fire that saw the Maleficent dragon be engulfed in flames during a live show.
