Fantasyland Theater, Open-air theatre in Disneyland, Anaheim, United States.
Fantasyland Theatre is a 5,000-square-foot outdoor amphitheater in Fantasyland at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, with 1,800 seats. It opened as Videopolis on June 22, 1985, west of It's a Small World, and was renamed Fantasyland Theater in 1995 and Fantasyland Theatre in 2013.
The theater opened in 1985 as Videopolis, a dual-purpose venue hosting live shows during the day and operating as a dance club with video screens in the evening. Over time the space transitioned to focus solely on theatrical performances.
The stage has carried Disney stories since 1995, when The Spirit of Pocahontas opened under the Fantasyland Theater name. Later productions include Snow White: An Enchanting Musical (2004–2006), Mickey and the Magical Map (2013–2020) and Tale of the Lion King (2022–2024). A holiday show with Santa and Friends premiered on November 15, 2024.
Check current show schedules before your visit since performances change regularly. Seating fills quickly during peak times, so arriving early gives you better options for where to sit.
The venue was originally outfitted with around 70 video monitors as part of its dance club concept before becoming a pure theater space. This history as a technologically driven entertainment hall is often overlooked today.
