New Stage Show ‘Mickey and the Magical Map’ Joins Fantasy Faire, Disney Princesses and Cars Land for the Family Vacation Season
The Disneyland Resort, now bursting with even more live
entertainment, has a lineup of unforgettable thrills and enchantment to
welcome guests for a summer of fun. Well-known as the Happiest Place on
Earth, the Disneyland Resort
Just Gets Happier with the
spectacular, new stage show “Mickey and the Magical Map” and Fantasy
Faire, a new storybook village with Disney Princesses and two
Princess-themed shows at the Royal Theatre, all at Disneyland Park.
The new, live shows extend the resort’s legacy as a magical stage for
live entertainment, a place where children often enjoy their first
experience with live performers and theatrical storytelling. In
addition, Cars Land is going full throttle with excitement for the whole
family, and Buena Vista Street creates an entertaining new vibe at the
reimagined Disney California Adventure Park. Guests also are enjoying
Limited Time Magic, experiences that surprise and delight guests in
fanciful ways throughout 2013.
Summer kicks off May 24 with a 24-hour all-nighter* at Disney
California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park in California, as well as
the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney WorldResort in Florida. The three
parks will stay open from 6 a.m., May 24 to 6 a.m., May 25, 2013, local
time* launching a season of fun inspired by the upcoming Disney•Pixar
comedy adventure, “Monsters University.” Screams and giggles are in
store during this action-packed all-nighter as guests discover monstrous
surprises in the parks, including Mike and Sulley scaring up some
school spirit.
The all-nighter is just the beginning of the fun at the Disneyland
Resort, a world-class, multi-day vacation destination with three hotels,
the Downtown Disney shopping, dining and entertainment district, and
two world-class theme parks.

New ‘Mickey and the Magical Map’
“Mickey and the Magical Map” is a spectacular, live stage show presented
at the Fantasyland Theatre, beginning May 25 in Disneyland Park. It
takes guests on a musical adventure with a mischievous Mickey Mouse and
the biggest character on stage, the Map. It spans the entire stage and
has magical powers that come to life through amazing theatrical
wizardry, colorful visuals and wonderful music. The journey includes
encounters with such classic Disney characters as Pocahontas, Mulan,
King Louie from “The Jungle Book,” Tiana from “The Princess and the
Frog” and others. “Mickey and the Magical Map” is designed for
Disneyland guests of all ages and represents Disney storytelling at its
most thrilling.

New Fantasy Faire
Fantasy Faire, a new storybook village near Sleeping Beauty Castle,
immerses guests in timeless Disney tales. They can meet several Disney
Princesses as they stroll through the beautiful Royal Hall, and then
enjoy two Princess-themed shows at the Royal Theatre. The musical shows
tell the tales of Rapunzel (“Tangled”) and Belle (“Beauty and the
Beast”) as presented by Mr. Smythe and Mr. Jones, a pair of
vaudeville-style Renaissance storytellers full of good humor. The
princess heroine, Rapunzel or Belle, joins in the fun and remains with
the audience to greet guests following the story.
At Disney California Adventure Park
Cars Land and Buena Vista Street
The newly expanded Disney California Adventure continues to be a popular
vacation destination, with guests enjoying Cars Land, based on the
popular Disney•Pixar animated feature “Cars,” and Buena Vista Street, an
area themed to 1920s-1930s Los Angeles that adds more stories and
entertainment experiences. Cars Land re-creates the town of Radiator
Springs, along Route 66, and the highlight of the fuel-driven fun is
Radiator Springs Racers. Racers never know which car will win as they go
for the Piston Cup. On Buena Vista Street, entertainers such as “Five
and Dime” and the Carthay Circle Theatre Restaurant offer guests more to
do, day and night.
“Disney Junior – Live on Stage!”
Fans of the Disney Junior television hits “Sofia the First” and “Doc
McStuffins” will enjoy interacting with these characters at “Disney
Junior – Live on Stage!” They join the gang from “Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse” and “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” in a show that invites
preschoolers to sing, dance and play with enchanting puppets, fanciful
scenery and lively music. Sofia the First, Disney’s first little girl
princess, and other characters in the show share ideas with guests,
encouraging them to become part of the stories. Doc McStuffins consults
her Big Book of Boo Boos to help diagnose and mend her toy friends.
