The dark dates for “Fantasmic” include: Monday, Sept. 23 through Thursday, Sept. 26, Sept. 30-Oct. 3, Oct. 7-10, Oct. 15-17, Oct. 21-24 and Oct. 28-31. The Disneyland calendar — which only stretches through Nov. 4 — shows “Fantasmic” unavailable on that date, suggesting the weekends-only schedule will continue in early November. The seasonal shift in the “Fantasmic” schedule will also allow the Sailing Ship Columbia to be out of service on select dates.
