Last year, when Mickey’s PhilharMagic appeared on the refurbishment list for an unprecedented two month closure, we hypothesized that changes recently implemented to its sister at Walt Disney World would come to the park, including the new “Coco” scene along with the updated digital projection system. Now the Oriental Land Company has officially confirmed these updates!
Starting September 15, guests visiting Tokyo Disneyland will experience the updated version of Mickey’s PhilharMagic which debuted last year at Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris before coming to Walt Disney World in the fall. Along with the original films like “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, and “Peter Pan” part of the movie since its 2003 debut, a new segment dedicated to the Pixar film “Coco” is now part of the film. Tokyo Disneyland is the fourth location to see this new version, leaving only Hong Kong Disneyland playing the original.
Along with this update, the Oriental Land Company also confirmed the update from the film’s original film projection system to the digital system installed last year at Walt Disney World.
You can still experience the original version of the film courtesy of our YouTube channel below.
