On the left side is the name of “Walt Disney – A Magical Life,” while the right side lists “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.” For reference, below is the old red marquee.

Entrance of the "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" attraction at Disneyland, featuring a well-lit facade with red and gold signage, surrounded by decorative columns and awnings.

“Walt Disney – A Magical Life” will premiere on July 17, the 70th anniversary date of Disneyland Park. Although the marquee does not make this clear, it is set to perform solo for the duration of the 70th anniversary celebration (through the summer of 2026). It will then rotate performances with “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.”

“Walt Disney – A Magical Life” will open with a viewing of the 15-minute documentary “Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream,” before revealing the Walt animatronic, which will talk to guests for two minutes from an office set with help from historical recordings.

Although some of Walt Disney’s grandchildren have expressed support for the Audio-Animatronic, his granddaughter Joanna Miller has been outspoken against the show.
