Live Shows and Spectaculars

Like “E-Ticket” attractions, live shows and spectaculars capture the essence of the Disney experience and are an essential part of the varied entertainment found at Disney destinations throughout the world.

These high-impact productions were more exhilarating than ever in 2003, using fresh talent and new theatrical techniques to bring the magic of Disney to life in unprecedented ways.

At Disney’s California Adventure, theater critics and audiences alike cheered the arrival of Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular, which brings Broadway-caliber entertainment to a theme park for the first time ever and offers guests a brand new way to experience the story of one of the most popular animated films in history.

In April, characters from Disney Channel descended on Disney’s California Adventure in the smash hit, Playhouse Disney – Live on Stage!, which invites the park’s youngest guests to dance and sing along with such stars as Bear and Stanley.

In October, The Golden Mickeys, a multi-media stage show paying tribute to Walt Disney, premiered to wild applause aboard the Disney Cruise Line, and a new pyrotechnic spectacular called Wishes debuted in the skies over the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

And in 2005, the secrets behind Hollywood’s most astounding stunts will be revealed as an incredible new stunt show – based on the popular Moteurs ... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular at the Disneyland Paris Resort – bursts onto the backlot at Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World.
