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.

Princess Fairytale Hall is now THE place to meet your favorite Disney Princesses. During the preview we were asked if we wanted to meet Cinderella or Rapunzel…we chose Rapunzel. Most of the media chose Rapunzel too! We had to wait about a half hour to see Rapunzel while the Cinderella line was much shorter.

The attention to detail is amazing, as always. The building is an addition to the castle where Cinderella can visit with the other princesses and receive guests throughout the day. The windows, light fixtures and wall hangings are all very regal yet not over done. In the last section of the queue the wall are adorned with beautiful portraits of some of the Disney Princesses.

Just before you enter the meet and greet area, beautifully displayed, is Cinderella’s glass slipper!

We were excited when we entered the meet and greet space and found Snow White waiting to meet us also!

My friend John from BigFatPanda.com shot this video of his visit to Princess Fairytale Hall and I thought you might like to see it.

I think Princess Fairytale Hall is a great addition to Fantasyland. It will be a very popular spot so I do suggest adding it to your Fastpass+ while planning your visit to the Magic Kingdom.

Wii

In the Wii game you can:

• Twist the Wii remote to let Rapunzel’s hair rejuvenate flowers, and press the “A” button to swing into action and help Flynn climb out of caverns.
• Collect enough sun drops in a level so that Rapunzel’s hair can continue to grow.
• When playing as Flynn use the “B” button to clear brush and attack enemies. For a “smash attack” use a swinging down motion with the Wii remote.

Sounds like fun for the whole family!
