When it comes to live performances at Disney, anything can happen. Disney hires the best of the best, and they are truly talented people. Disney stage performers transport us to magical places where we can sing and dance along and have a great time. But they are just regular people, and sometimes things happen that are beyond their control. Like when there is water on a stage and their feet come out from under them. Slip and falls can happen, but one Disney Cast Member showed that an incredible recovery can add to the magic.
Fantasmic! at Disneyland Resort, takes place on a small stage along the Rivers of America. The show uses water effects that can make the stage a little slippery, which can make it hard for the performers. Recently, Mickey Mouse was dancing on the stage and took quite the fall. Thankfully, he recovered quickly, as fireworks were set to come out of his gloves whether he was ready or not. Ever the professional and star, Mickey acted as though nothing had happened and Guests were glad to see that he was okay.
A video of the fall was shared by Scott Gustin on Twitter, and you can watch it below.
Fantasmic! returned to Disneyland Park just about one week ago. It is also shown on the East Coast at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but that show does not currently have a return date. Here is more information on the fun and popular show from the Disneyland Resort website:
Fantasmic! is shown daily, weather permitting. To find out showtimes, you can check your Disneyland Resort mobile app.
