Magic Kingdom Tips & Tricks Tuesday
For the first ever Tips & Tricks Tuesday on Making The Madness Magical, we will be focusing on.......the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World!! The Magic Kingdom is synonymous with Disney. Whether it be Disney Word, Disneyland or any of the other Disney Parks around the world. So today I'm going to be sharing some of the tips and tricks my family and I have picked up over the years!
Fantasyland Cinderella Castle Fun Fact
If you're and avid Disney fan, then you know what I mean when I use the term "Disney detail". Disney has always been known for their attention to detail, in both their movies and parks. Our next fun fact/ hidden gem, is in Cinderella Castle. If you know your Disney Imagineers and have a sharp eye then you’ve probably already found this one. In the mural scene inside the walkway in Cinderella’s Castle, where prince Charming has placed the glass slipper on Cinderella’s foot, you will find two Disney Imagineers. If you look to the far left of the mural, there is a man standing and that is John Hench, and then the man standing directly behind the prince is Herbert Ryman. Hench and Ryman, if you didn’t know, were the lead designers of Cinderella Castle.
Dream Along With Mickey
In the first instalment of What’s New Wednesday we will be saying goodbye to one of the most popular stage shows at the Walt Disney World Resort, Dream Along With Mickey. With an incredible run of practically 9 years (hands down making it the longest running Castle Forecourt Stage show in the history of the park) in September, the time for an update has come.
This summer, the all-new live stage show “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” will grace the Castle Forecourt stage at the Magic Kingdom in the Walt Disney World Resort with magic, music and merriment! With the marvelous backdrop of Cinderella Castle, Mickey and his friends will welcome some beloved characters from a few of Disney’s newest classics: “The Princess and the Frog,” “Tangled” and “Frozen.”
In the new show called “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire,” Mickey and his troupe of Merry Makers have been prepping to host a joyous festival and have travelled far and wide to invite friends from other lands to join in on their celebration. From the Land of the Bewitching Bayous, Goofy has invited Tiana, Naveen and Louis to add a little spice of New Orleans jazz to the party. From the Land of the Enchanted Woods in the kingdom of Corona, Donald Duck brings some new friends he met at the Snuggly Duckling, and Daisy introduces us to her special guests, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Finally, Mickey shares a surprise with Minnie, as he has traveled to the Land of the Majestic Mountains of Arendelle to invite Olaf, Anna and Elsa, who contributes a blast of her icy powers. It all culminates in a grand dance, as the Merry Makers invite all their special guests to join in the fun on this special day!
Marking the first appearances by Tiana and Rapunzel in a show on the castle stage, “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” brings to life beloved Disney stories both classic and contemporary in a tantalizing performance featuring an original song, memorable music, lively dancing and special effects of magic.
Watch for “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” to make its debut in summer 2016! As for Dream Along With Mickey the final performance will be on April 2, 2016 so be sure to catch it before it’s gone for good.

Character Meet and Greets
Character meet and greets are one of the best things at Disney World! I love the interaction and getting to rub elbows with some of my favorite characters from the movies I absolutely adore so let’s chat about that next. This has some pretty great news and some news that some of you may not like depending on how much you love these people.
Good news first! There will be two new character greeting experiences debuting this spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where you step into the scenes with some of your most beloved Disney characters, as they live out their Hollywood dreams. Premiering in spring 2016 in the Echo Lake district at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the all-new Celebrity Spotlight, the perfect place for a dream encounter with one of Disney’s latest stars. Get ready WDW fans, because the warm hug loving snowman Olaf, from Disney’s hit film “Frozen.” Is finally coming to Disney World! Olaf will be living out his dream “In Summer,” chilling on the beach and ready with warm hugs for all his friends!
Opening this spring as well, is “Mickey and Minnie Starring in Red Carpet Dreams,” located just off Commissary Lane near the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. Here you can join Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, as they’re living the dream as A-list Hollywood stars. You’ll walk the red carpet, step into a scene with Minnie, where she appears as a Tinsel Town starlet in a ritzy setting straight out of a lush and colorful musical extravaganza. Nearby, you will find Mickey portraying his iconic role of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice from “Fantasia.” For Disney character fans, this spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios promises to be a dream come true!
Now for the not so great news as some of you may or may not have known, Lady Tremaine (you know the evil stepmom from Cinderella?) well she and her daughters have always met in the Magic Kingdom at the new Fantasyland wall or at the side of Cinderella castle. It saddens me to say that Lady Tremaine will no longer be meeting guest in the Magic Kingdom, but I’m almost positive that the step sisters will continue to meet at both locations. However if you are an evil ne'er do-well loving individual and want to meet her along with her daughters then you can do so by booking a reservation at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian!! As an added bonus if you go to see here at 1900 you’ll also get to meet Cinderella and the ever so handsome Prince Charming *swoon*, plus they have delicious food!
