The show, newly enhanced for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration, will incorporate favorite scenes inspired by “Frozen,” “Tangled,” and “The Princess and the Frog” – plus a new opening and a new finale with Mickey Mouse and all his friends in their sparkling, EARidescent fashions. Presented multiple times a day, the show will also include an all-new, original song entitled “Where the Magic Feels Like Home.”

    Yes I know, this is probably not a Big Deal but why is FOF using regular clothes for the Fab 5 on a Beautiful Day??? I don't get it....

    Probably missed it when happened the first time. I didn't know if it just needed more air or if the Balloon needed more intense repair. Also, it was NOT a Good Day for me yesterday, so I worried about it.

    If the cast are already training or will be soon then the soundtrack must be completed or soon to be. And usually once the cast get involved they start singing like canary’s lol. Although I will say they kept the updated OUACT soundtrack quiet.

    Hopefully! Also, I don’t mind FOF Cast helping with Starlight. I just hope Starlight's Cast is bigger than FOF!

    Are the floats planned to be on site soon? I guess by Easter they might be.
