The show started with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and the dancers performing an up beat “Rock the Mouse” opening number. Adults and children alike were up out of their seats dancing along with the performers. Since the theme of the show is Mickey’s Music Festival the characters shared how lots of things can make music, like an old jug, a saw and other household items.

The Aladdin section was next and began with Mickey rubbing a magic lamp. of course, Genie appeared and later Aladdin and Jasmine joined him. Jasmine and Aladdin even floated around the stage on a magic carpet while they performed “A Whole New World.

Mickey and the gang returned with some congas and a shell and played a shell game as they introduced Sebastian and the Little Mermaid section of the show. Before intermission this section was focused of Sebastian and Flounder, Ariel made her appearance after the intermission as did Prince Eric.Toy Story was the next movie to be featured and this included the Green Army Men, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and Bullseye!

The music and dancing in the entire show was great. There were a lot of quick changes for the cast of 25 to keep up with. When I asked Matthew what was his favorite part of the show he answered, “All of it.” There was truly something for everyone, boys, girls, young old-everyone enjoys some Disney magic and it is nice that it tours the country bringing the magic to people who need it.

Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival is traveling to Alabama, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida this spring. Visit Disney Live! for dates and locations.

We arrived earlier than necessary and were quickly able to retrieve our tickets from the will call window. Since it was a comfortable Florida Sunday afternoon we found a table to sit at outside the Forum while we waited for the doors to open for the 5:30pm show.

At about 4:45pm we entered the Forum and found our seats. They use less than 1/4 of the Forum space for the show which made the setting feel more intimate. M was excited for the show to start and he waited very patiently for a 4 year old.

As the show began there was an announcement that no photos or video could be taken. This was different than what we had been told when we went through the bag check at security-they said no video or flash photography. I decided to take my cue from the masses and took some photos without flash…until I heard a security person speak to people behind me about putting their camera away I do think the man in front of me video taped the entire show without getting caught!

The show was delightful and entertaining and kept the interest of everyone present. Mickey and Minnie were joined by Goofy, Donald Duck, 2 magicians, the Mad Hatter, Alice, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Belle, Gaston, Snow White, the Evil Queen and Jasmine so there was something for every Disney fan to enjoy. There were musical numbers, magic tricks and some audience participation to round out this fun family show. I asked M what is favorite part was and he said: “Snow White, then the magic carpet (in the Aladdin scene), the cannon ball trick and then Jasmine floating in the air.”

If you are needing a Disney fix, or just want a fun family afternoon, I recommend a visit to Mickey’s Magic Show when it comes to a town near you!
