Mickey's Philharmagic

When I showed my wife the Philharmagic page on the Disney site she didn't seem very interested and doesn't want to do it. I don't recall when I did it, and don't remember how fun it was. Is it something that I should convince my wife to do or skip it? It's her first trip, so obviously she's never done it.

I did Philharmagic for the first time in 2010, not sure I need to do it again. However if it was really hot and I wanted to take a break in some a/c (or a nap) this might be a good place to do it. LOL!

I know a lot of people who adore it, but it's not a "must do" for me.

Fun 3D show full of classic Disney Scenes and some surprise elements. If you haven't done it, that definitly do it. I personaly do it often, and I enjoy it every time. Plus that wait isn't usually that long and there is AC. What's not to love.

This is one of my favorites. We do not do it every trip, but we do do it a lot.

It's one of my favorite also. You definitely should convince her to see it.

It's also one of our favorites and we do it every trip. It's fun and it's a great sit-down break in the nice A/C. And rarely much of a wait.

We go and see it at least 3 times every trip. It's an ace show, classic Disney fun. The AC is a welcome break but the apple pie is still the best effect by far. Defo my favourite show in MK, maybe even WDW.

Its a pretty cool show and you get a bit of a rest. You need to try it if you have the time.

I love it because I'm a huge Donald Duck fan. So to me its a must every year. Plus in my opinion... it showcases the best 3D available in the parks.

Definitely is an awesome 3D movie! I think you should do it, at least gotta see it once.

Last year, I stopped for FastPasses to another Fantasyland attraction (don't recall if it was Winnie the Pooh or Peter Pan's Flight), and a surprise FastPass also popped out for Mickey's Philharmagic. As it happened, I had already seen it that day, but what the heck - I went again. So maybe get your FastPasses at another attraction and if the extra surprise FastPasses for Philharmagic also pop out, let that make your decision yea or nay.

I think it's worth seeing once a trip, if only to watch the little kids trying to grab the flying objects, or seeing some woman with big hair in front of you getting a "buzz cut."

I think you should do it. If yall dont enjoy it well at least you had a little time off of your feet in the AC! I loved it when I went but everyone is different and the only way for you to know is if you try it mickey

Good question! I don't know if I ever recall doing this one either so I'll have to add it to our must do list for this trip!

I remember reading about it in trip planning, and not really understanding what it was. A. . . 3D movie? I'm not really a big fan of 3D gags, so I was only mildly interested. But it was surprisingly one of my favorite things of the day--probably because of the strong Donald presence.

So I think it's worth a try.

Short break in A/C. Cute. Easy to get in with no line. Classic characters. If it's your first time it's a must do. Sometimes if you go get a fastpass early in the morning you can get a bonus fastpass for this attraction (even though you never really need it)

Everything needs to be experienced at least once IMO so there's no real excuse NOT to try it, she never know she might really enjoy it! It's a firm fave with our group, quick line, comfy seats, great a/c break, classic disney scenes with some great special effects and by far the best 3D in the parks,
