While most people head to Epcot for great bands and music, the Magic Kingdom also offers some fun options to see a show, especially if you're traveling with younger guests. Since its debut in 2006, Mickey Mouse and friends have take to the Cinderella Castle Stage several times a day for the spectacular 'Dream Along with Mickey' show.
Minnie, Donald, and Goofy start off the show by prepare of a delightful party where Dreams are sure to come true. Performers sing and dance around the stage as they welcome you to a castle party of dreams, but Donald isn't so sure that dreams are important. The gang tells Donald that "the only way for dreams to come true is if you believe in them." It's sage advice and relays a message to the audience that Walt Disney himself would have approved of - never stop dreaming.
The first guests arrive, the Disney Princesses with their Princely escorts. They burst into classic songs as they waltz around the stage reminding us all that beautiful things can happen "Once Upon a Dream." Minnie Mouse laments that she's always dreamed of being a Princess, and charming Mickey tells shares that she's always been a Princess to him.
Goofy tells Donald that his dream is full of fun and adventure - and is answered by Peter Pan, who helps create a delightful romp with Pirates and exciting swordplay! Even doubtful Donald gets into the act as he's turned into Captain Hook - until the real Hook arrives to quash their dreams.
After an exciting battle, Maleficent arrives in a burst of smoke and is decidedly upset that she, once again, didn't receive and invitation to the party! She's one angry villain and share's that her dream is to make sure that this becomes a place where nightmares come true! Note to self: always include Maleficent on the guest list.
Donald becomes the hero and steps up to stop Maleficent saying that he believes in dreams and Mickey stands by his side repeating that important message - "As long as we all believe in dreams, the power of dreams will always triumph." With a little help from the audience, they harness the power of dreams and send Maleficent and her evil cohort Captain Hook running.
Anything is possible when you believe in your dreams.
