About Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire

“Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” immerses guests in a 23-minute royal musical celebration on the Cinderella Castle stage at Magic Kingdom Park. Mickey Mouse and his pals unite in a tale of friendship featuring songs and characters from Disney’s contemporary classics “Princess and the Frog,” “Tangled” and “Frozen.”

“In ‘Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire,’ 15 Disney characters from different stories come together to showcase how diversity and the discoveries you make through friendships shape who you are,” said Show Director, Walt Disney World Entertainment, Tara Anderson.

From the land of the bewitching bayous, Goofy has invited Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen to add a little spice of New Orleans jazz to the party.

Donald Duck brings some new friends he met in the land of the enchanted woods, where Daisy Duck introduces us to her special guests, Rapunzel and Flynn. Finally, Mickey Mouse shares a surprise with Minnie Mouse, as he has traveled to the land of the mystic mountains to invite Olaf, Princess Anna, and Queen Elsa, who swirls a blast of her icy magic.

The celebration culminates in a grand dance, marked by a magical daytime fireworks finale.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire, as did the rest of the audience around me. It is nice to see a show with characters from newer Disney movies mingling with the Fab 5. The storyline is engaging and relevant without being preachy. I love that there are “thugs and ruffians” helping to represent “Tangled” along with Rapunzel and Flynn (Eugene). Of course, any time guests get to see Anna, Elsa and Olaf, the crowd goes wild. The show is performed several times a day. Check your times guide or My Disney Experience app for showtimes.
If you can’t get to the Magic Kingdom any time soon, my friend, BigFatPanda has a wonderful video of the entire show.

The queue is simple, yet well decorated with photos of Mickey and Minnie’s travels around the world. It was fun looking at the pictures and while waiting in line with your kids you can discuss where the famous landmarks are and sneak in a bit of learning to your vacation. We had about a 20 minute wait to see The Big Cheese and his sweetie on the day we visited. So far Fastpass isn’t available for the Adventurers Outpost like it is for the meet and greet at the Magic Kingdom but it could be added in the future if needed.

I love that Mickey and Minnie are dressed for adventure when you meet them in Animal Kingdom! The room is well decorated with suitcases and travel gear in the corner making you feel like they are ready to head off on another adventure as soon as they are done greeting their guests.

I love having my picture taken with Mickey Mouse, who doesn’t? Next time you visit Animal Kingdom, stop by the Adventurers Outpost and spend a few minutes with Mickey and Minnie.

The adorable speakers come in Kermit the Frog, Perry the Platypus, Minnie Mouse and Jack Skellington. It is a tough, lightweight, water resistant case with premium speakers or a great sound. The hard wired line-in cable plays audio from any source with a headphone jack and the clear rear window allows access to the controls on any touchscreen iPod, mp3 or cellphone.

Here is a video my son made that gives you a tour of the iHome unit.

The portable speakers are available online for $39.95. I have enjoyed my speakers, they sound great and fit easily into my pool tote. They would make a great end of the school year gift for tweens and teens who love to listen to music wherever they go.

Disclosure: I received the Kermit the Frog iHome Speakers for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

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!
