Just a few months ago, the Walt Disney World® Resort announced that The Magic, The Memories and You! nighttime projection show was being discontinued in order to make preparations for a new show, Celebrate the Magic! The wait is over as the new show is set to debut this week!

Celebrate the Magic will pay tribute to the artistry and imagination of Disney stories, from beloved classics to contemporary favorites. Expect to see some familiar Disney faces during the show, including characters from Alice in Wonderland, The Lion King, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Brave, and Wreck-It Ralph.

Celebrate the Magic draws its inspiration from the love we all share for Disney’s memorable characters, their stories and the imagination that brought them to life. The team has been able to combine advances in technology with spectacular imagery and a stirring musical score to create a stunning and immersive way of storytelling. Celebrate the Magic takes us on a journey full of wonderful moments our guests will never forget.” – Katy Harris, Show Director for Celebrate the Magic

Just like its predecessor, Celebrate the Magic will be updated seasonally with additional scenes to keep the show fresh. In fact, the show will debut this week with a segment of the show created just for the holiday season featuring the return of the gingerbread castle! Other special overlays are planned for Valentines Day, Summer, and Halloween.

While Celebrate the Magic will be presented most nights at the Magic Kingdom® Park beginning this week, we encourage our guests to please check your Times Guide for updated dates and times.
