As we reported yesterday, “Celebrate the Magic” at the Magic Kingdom is on its way out, and “Once Upon a Time” from Tokyo Disneyland is on its way in.
In this new-to-the-U.S. show, Mrs. Potts from “Beauty and the Beast” shares bedtime stories with Chip, taking them on a magical trip through the most adventurous scenes from favorite Disney films like “Cinderella,” “Peter Pan,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.”
Scenes include a flight with Peter Pan from London to Never Land, the Mad Hatter’s whimsical tea party, and a daring duel between Gaston and Beast. Mrs. Potts and Chip end their bedtime story with a grand finale that includes appearances by characters from even more Disney films.
The show, which is a version of what currently operates at Tokyo Disneyland Park (minus a lot of pyro as the Tokyo show is essentially the park’s nightly fireworks show), uses projection mapping technology to cover every nook and cranny of Cinderella Castle in vibrant images that appear almost three-dimensional.
“Once Upon A Time: Where Stories Take You Anywhere” will replace the 4-year-old “Celebrate the Magic” projection show, which will end its run on November 3. “Once Upon a Time” debuts November 4th.
I don’t know about you, but there are times when planning a Disney vacation can be overwhelming! There are so many options, where to stay, when to go, is this the best price. So, I want to introduce you all to Cindy Minor and the team at Small World Big Fun. They will help you plan your Disney vacation for FREE. Contact them today!
The show is amazing at TDL. I think it will work beautifully at MK too.
I am concerned about how it will hold up with less pyro though. I do love the soundtrack.
In fact, theme song of “Once upon a time” used in opening ceremony of New-Fantasyland at MK, 2012.
See 6m40s.
No Frozen scene? This is just never going to happen without Anna and Elsa…
I believe you missed the part where it says the grand finale will feature appearances by characters from even more Disney films. You know they’ll shove Frozen one way or another.
I hope they’ll also make Once upon a Time at Disneyland. Right?
Will they make this show every night like Celebrate the Magic was? Or only on select nights? It shows “No time available” for the week we are there in December!! :(
I wish they would add in buzz and woody
