Terrific Tuesdays: Fantastic Fantasmic!
Fantasmic! is one of my favorite night time fireworks shows at Walt Disney World. This show is located at the end of Sunset Blvd. in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Characters display scenes from popular Disney movies, like Pocahontas, and show the battle of good vs. evil. Read more
