I know, I was there, and I heard it, and I stayed late. Last year, over the Labor Day weekend, DLs hours were.... Friday and Saturday...9:00 am to 12:00 midnight Sunday...9:00 to 11:00 pm Monday...9:00 to 10:00 PM 2 showings of Fantasmic on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30. 1 showing on Monday at 9:00. And the Electric Parade in DCA was performed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea what will happen in 2007! Hope this helps.

Originally Posted By berol I was there too, except it was Sept. 29. I asked an Main St. store employee if she had to stay an extra hour, but she said nope.

I was telling her once about this time my Dad and my best friend (along with his Mom and younger Brother) were at Disneyland watching Fantasmic! and I don't believe my friend's family had ever seen it. So we're telling them, yeah ya gotta see this. It was a Sunday night if I remember correctly, don't recall the time of year though. Well, when Mickey was about to do battle with Maleficent, instead of turning into the dragon, she still was elevating into the sky but - just as herself. So instead of looking at this big firebreathing dragon, lol you're looking at an extremely tall wicked queen. Then if I recall correctly, when Mickey drew out his sword, there were no special effects coming out of it. I think he just pointed the sword at her and that was it. I thought, "What is this!?" So I was just laughing about it awhile ago, sharing this with my Mom. She was asking why in the world they did that, I says well I think it was a Sunday night and it was the last one of the night so the probably figured the crowd is probably small too. It was understandible but looking back I just laugh cause it was so silly. So when you said modify, I immediately thought of that one experience. I doubt it happens often though cause I've seen the show many times, and that rarely happened. Then again I never saw it all the time, but still I'm sure it's very rare?
