Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom - Fantasyland

Philharmagic 3-D Show

Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom is host to Mickey's PhilharMagic 3D show.  It is located right across from Cinderella's Golden Carrousel in the Fantasyland themed area.  This is also where previous Disney theater shows have run like the famous "Magic Journeys" and "The Legend of the Lion King".

 Mickey's PhilharMagic lasts approximately 11 1/2 minutes long and features 3D effects, interactive smells and misted water interacting with the audience.  There are a lot of characters that children will recognize from the most recent hit movies that Disney has released scattered throughout the movie.  The show is projected on the largest 3D ONLY screen ever made.  It is 150 feet wide and quite impressive.

What really sets this attraction apart from most of the shows or the rides at Walt Disney World is that it combines 3 dimensional characters with animatronic figures and audience participation to make it a truly sensory experience.  In fact some of the original animators from movies like Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid came back to work with the creators of the ride to recreate characters like Ariel from 2 dimensional to 3D specifically for this ride.

 The storyline of Philharmagic is that Mickey is performing (as he does in Fantasia's Sorcerers Apprentice segment) with the orchestra. Upon entering the theater, in the waiting room area, the Disney staff has put up past performance posters to make you feel as though this orchestra theater puts on MANY different performances and you are just seeing the latest.  But before the show can start, Donald Duck comes in and steals Mickey's magical wizard hat and that throws him into a musical, madcap chase for the hat to return it before he gets in trouble.  Along the way, he passes through musical numbers and encounters with Ariel and Eric from "The Little Mermaid", Aladdin and Jasmin from their magic carpet ride, Timon and Pumbaa from the Lion King (this part is kinda stinky - in a LITERAL sense), Peter Pan and Lumiere from "Beauty and the Beast".  All the way, Donald struggles to get grips back on the hat and songs from these movies are played and combined with amazing 3-D visual and sensory effects.  It ends with a "BANG" and Donald is catapulted straight into the audience.  This is where an actual physically 3D version of Donald appears to everyone's applause.

This is a MUST SEE ride for kids and adults.  Easily one of the best shows in any of the 4 theme parks and certainly one of the top2 rides in Fantasyland.  Don't miss PHILHARMAGIC!
