Fantasyland: Attractions

29 - Mickey's PhilharMagic
C-Ticket
Any Height
Guests come into a musical theater where a 3D show plays, and through a bit of a mix-up, they go through the worlds of many Disney musical classics.

QUEUE:
Guests enter a Bavarian cottage that serves as a facade for a concert hall. As they go through, guests will see several posters for musical acts, including the ones featured in the film. Then, they will proceed into a foyer, where they will pick up a pair of "Opera Glasses" to wear during the show. They will then enter the theater and sit down to face the stage.

SHOW EXPERIENCE:
Soon enough, Minnie will announce that it's time to perform and introduces the orchestra, but nobody's there. Mickey goes around to find them, but sees nobody. While he investigates, he leaves Donald, currently asleep in a barrel, in charge. He places the Sorcerer's Hat on the bandstand, and although Mickey tells him not to take it before he leaves, Donald does it anyway. With it, he makes the instruments play themselves, but they can't play right. When Donald attacks one of the instruments in frustration, they retaliate by sucking him into a tornado, making the walls of the theater and the stage disappear.

Unlike most versions of the attraction, this features randomized sequences, giving guests a different experience every time they come. It starts out with Donald falling into the dark and coming across a Disney character, either Lumiere, Sebastian, or the Genie, which will lead into one of three sequences:

1. "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast
2. "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid
3. "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin

After this, some brooms will come to clean up the mess. Donald tries to stop them, but bigger brooms arrive and throw water at them, ushering guests into another scene:

1. "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid
2. "Let it Go" from Frozen
3. "Reflection" from Mulan

Then, this will transition into an upbeat imaginary sequence, during which one of three songs will play:

1. "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from The Lion King
2. "Almost There" from The Princess and the Frog
3. "You're Welcome" from Moana

This will transition to an adventurous sequence:

1. "You Can Fly" from Peter Pan
2. "Into the Unknown" from Frozen II
3. "Surface Pressure" from Encanto

Finally, this will transition to a romantic sequence, where one of three scenes will play:

1. "A Whole New World" from Aladdin
2. "Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast
3. "I See the Light" from Tangled

During this sequence, Donald regains the hat, only to lose it again. (Either Lago takes it, he loses it to the brooms from earlier, or he loses it when the Tick-Tock Croc comes around.) This sucks him back into the tornado and makes him appear in the theater again. Luckily, Mickey returns and restores order, putting on the hat and conducting the orchestra. Then, during the big finish, he shoots Donald into the crowd from a tuba. As the curtain lowers, guests can turn around and see Donald stuck in the wall.

POST-SHOW:
Guests follow a passage out of the theater and get rid of their 3D glasses, entering into the Musical Merchandise gift shop.
30 - Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Adventures
E-Ticket
Any Height
In this original dark ride, guests travel through London with Mary Poppins and the kids on a Jolly Holiday. This borrows elements from both films to create a unique experience.

QUEUE:
Guests go into a British country house to see that they've been teleported to the streets of London. Here, they meander through Cherry Tree Lane before going into the Banks House. From time to time, everything shakes as the admiral fires a cannon to mark the hour. Then, guests end up in the backyard's load area, where they board carts pulled by kites. It's similar to Peter Pan's Flight, but slightly larger.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:
The ride begins by sending guests into the nursery, where Mary Poppins and the kids are tidying it up. They put things back into place with the snap of a finger. In the meantime, "A Spoonful of Sugar" is sung. Then, Micheal accidentally causes a bowl to fall off a shelf and break, but Mary knows who can fix it.

The carts leave the house and go over the rooftops of London, where Bert and the Chimney Sweeps are dancing as they sing "Step in Time." Then, guests enter the residence of Topsy-Turvey, where they see a calendar pointing out that it's the second Wednesday of the month. They enter an upside-down room where Topsy, Mary, Jane, and Micheal are, the first of which sings "Turning Turtle." The carts then leave the room and go into the park, where Micheal and Jane meet with Bert again, the bowl fixed once more.

The carts then head into Bert's drawings and move through a large scene of a fair, singing animals, and penguin waiters as "Jolly Holiday" plays in the background. Then, guests enter a scene where the children meet with their father, who has a problem at the bank. Jack the lamplighter leads them there while singing "Trip a Little Light Fantastic." Then, at the bank, Mr. Banks makes things right with the managers. Dawes Jr. is on the ground, looking up while his father is floating in midair, cracking up about "a wooden leg named Smith."

In the final scene, Jane, Micheal, and their parents are standing in the park, flying a kite with others. As "Let's Go Fly a Kite" is sung, Jack and Bert look up, where Mary Poppins is seen flying away. The carts then return to the load station and the guests get off. From there, they enter a gift shop shared with Peter Pan's Flight.

QUEUE:
In another British building, guests walk around mosaics of Neverland and its sights. They then approach small, two-person pirate ships, which they board and pull their lap bars down.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:
The ride begins by entering the Darling nursery, where Micheal and John are fast asleep. In the meantime, Jane is awake, noticing Peter Pan's shadow on the wall. They then see Peter himself, who is holding Tinker Bell. As he shouts "Here we Go!" the windows open and the boats fly out into the backyards of London, flying over Nana as they go. Before long, they are flying over the London cityscape, seeing Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

After going through a tunnel of stars, the boats enter Neverland itself. From above, they see the Mermaid Lagoon, Indian Camp, and the volcano. Then, they make their way towards Skull Rock. As they turn the corner, Captain Hook is holding the kids hostage while dueling with Peter Pan. Then, as they head to the other side of the sail, Peter and the kids have taken control while Hook is standing on the jaws of the Tick-Tock Croc while Mr. Smee is nearby, trying to help him.

In the final scene, guests pass the Lost Boys treehouse, where they see some of the Lost Boys. Peter directs them back to London from here. The boats pass the light of Big Ben before heading back to the load station.

As Pooh flies by on a balloon, Rabbit is tending to his garden, Piglet is holding onto his house, nervously looking around, and Kanga is flying a kite, which Roo has ended up on the back of. In addition, Pooh flies over Eyeore's house, accidentally knocking it down. Guests pass under Owl's house, where he complains about the weather, before moving on.

In the next scene, the entire room bounces as Tigger moves around on screens. Then, the pots move out of the room as they see Tigger himself, who has crashed into a branch. They enter Pooh's house, where he is fast asleep. Suddenly, his balloon grows ears and eyes and Pooh floats away. They then enter a dream sequence, where there are heffalumps and woozles all over the place. Some of them even come by in a pot identical to the one the guests are in.

In the next scene, it is raining. Here, the pots float down a river while the group tries to save Piglet. Luckily, in the next scene, Piglet is safe and sound. Christopher Robin and the animals are having a party to celebrate while Pooh is in a nearby tree, eating some honey.
