The home to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea has been conducting a lottery to determine which annual pass holders may visit the park on any given day, due to overwhelming demand while the parks’ capacities are limited. The resort will stop conducting the lottery for assignments after December 2020 and will begin issuing refunds for pro-rated annual pass holders. The resort also will not extend annual passes for the period that the parks were closed, as it had offered during the pandemic shutdown.

Tokyo Disney said that it will provide an update on the future of its annual pass program by the end of March 2021.

When Walt Disney World Resort first reopened, Disney, announced that nighttime spectaculars would not be available for Guests. That means that for the time being — since the theme parks reopened in mid-July — Guests haven’t been able to see Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom or Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios, amid other nighttime shows.

But when will Fantasmic! be up and running again? We aren’t so sure, but it appears that the show won’t be operating anytime soon. The latest aerial images from @bioreconstruct show that the Fantasmic! the lagoon is still drained.
