Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are poised for a strong summer better than in recent years. The entertainment company has a strong lineup of live shows this season, the biggest is “Mickey and the Magical Map,” the all-new live show that just opened at the Fantasyland Theatre in Disneyland Park. Also just opened is “Fantasy Faire,” Princess showcase. The two new attractions have energized Fantasyland and frame a refreshed lineup of live shows in both parks.
The show was created by Disney Creative Entertainment, “Mickey and the Magical Map” was conceived for children of all ages and represents the return of Disney storytelling to the newly refurbished Fantasyland Theatre, a venue that merges the tradition of live outdoor performances with theatrical technology.
Also in Fantasyland is the all-new Fantasy Faire, where guests greet their favorite Princesses in the Royal Hall, or they may see Belle or Rapunzel taking part in fresh and whimsical versions of their own tales on the stage of the Royal Theatre. Located on the south end of the Fantasy Faire courtyard, the Royal Theatre is an open-air structure in the style of a tent at a medieval fair.
“We’re very excited to welcome guests to the Disneyland Resort this summer to enjoy all the entertainment and attractions that make this a world-class, family vacation destination,” said Michael Colglazier, president of the Disneyland Resort. “We’re particularly thrilled to debut our captivating new show ‘Mickey and the Magical Map’ and to invite guests to experience Fantasy Faire, a new themed area with Disney Princess encounters and two live shows based on favorite princess stories.”
“Mickey and the Magical Map,” is a highlight of 2013 at the Disneyland Resort, which also features recent additions such as princess encounters in the new Fantasy Faire in Disneyland, and the spectacular new Cars Land and Buena Vista Street in the expanded Disney California Adventure Park.
