reduced Fantasmic shows annoy guests

Last year it was reported that Fantasmic was being cut to just two shows per week beginning January 2009 (for no good reason that anyone could understand other than the mighty dollar). The first few shows in January have apparently been extremely busy. Reports around the net indicate that the show was at standing room only 1 hour before showtime, and managers were left at the entrance to explain to guests why they wern't able to see the show. Reportedly there was a line out of guest relations still at 45 minutes after park close.

Truly this is the most stupid thing Disney has ever done. Fantasmic is ALWAYS filled so I don't understand the need to get rid of so many shows. Saving money by reducing favorite attractions is stupid.

I agree. It's always packed and is a personal favorite of mine. I have to say that I would be one ticked off guest if I couldn't see Fantamsic due to this idea (and not weather).

I've never been to a show that wasn't standing room only by start time.

Probably one of the daftest decisions Disney has ever made. What were they thinking of?

Rumours around the net say it now looks that Disney are going to address the problem to some extent by adding a second show on Thursday night. No confirmation from Disney and no mention of whether it will be every Thursday or what
