“A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” Confirmed

WDWNT on October 26, 2009

A recent Disney press release concerning Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party confirms that “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” show is coming to the Magic Kingdom, at least on party nights:

Walt Disney World Resort unwraps a sleighful of entertainment offerings during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on 19 select evenings beginning Nov. 10 – including a rockin’ new stage show to welcome the winter wonderland season.  “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” features Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wazowski and a jubilant cast of party-goers who discover the true meaning of the season during their annual Christmas party.  The interactive musical revue features “songs of the season” in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits.
As previously reported, this show will use the new Tomorrowland stage formerly occupied by Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.
What “songs of the season in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits” actually means for the soundtrack of this new show is questionable. Does this mean that there will be holiday songs performed by Miley Cyrus and other Disney singers or will the music simply be “pop” versions of some classic holiday favorites?
It is also uncertain as to which, if any, characters will appear on stage and who will may appear on the screen above guests. There is a slight possibility of the living character technology being used in this show, but seeing as the description does not mention it, we are lead to believe that Mike Wazowski, Stitch, and Buzz Lightyear will be there in-person for each performance.
One final question we have is concerning performances of this show following the conclusion of the Christmas Parties. Since the now defunct “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas” show and all of the other entertainment from the party typically became a part of the Magic Kingdom’s regular entertainment schedule during the holiday weeks, will “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” make the cut as well? Only time will tell.
Be sure to stay tuned to WDW News Today as we get more information on this upcoming Magic Kingdom holiday stage show.

“Holidays Around The World” by Chuck Mirarchi

article-2

Visiting the Walt Disney World Resort can be daunting for even for the most seasoned Disney travelers, but visiting during the holidays can be truly overwhelming.  There are four theme parks, two water parks, the Downtown Disney district, twenty-one resort hotels, and not to mention the numerous water and sports activities available.  All of that alone is enough to keep someone busy on a vacation, but there are numerous special offerings that go under the radar of most visitors… and they shouldn’t.

Special events, backstage tours, and special dining events happen throughout various areas of the resort, but with one major difference: special events are offered for a limited time during the year and backstage tours and special dining events are typically offered year around.

First, we’ll take a look at special events.  These events typically happen around the same time of the year, every year. They are highly anticipated by those who know about them, but casual WDW visitor may not be aware.  Whether they are sporting events or holiday celebrations, many people build their Walt Disney World vacations around these happenings.

Both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parade are popular events that take place at The Magic Kingdom. Because of the limited amount of tickets sold on select dates— 24 party days for Halloween and 19 party days for Christmas in 2009—these events tend to sell out quickly.  The general estimate is 20,000 tickets, but Disney does not release exactly how many they sell for each evening’s party.  It is best to purchase tickets in advance of course, but tickets can be purchased on the day-of the party if available.

Advance ticket purchase is the same for both parties.  After calling Disney (or purchasing online) and giving a credit card, tickets can be mailed or picked up upon your arrival.  If you’re already in the park on the day of the party, proceed to the Rose Garden near Cinderella’s Castle after 4:00 PM and Cast Members will swipe your party ticket and put a wristband on you.  Those holding party passes, but not planning on being in the park earlier, can typically head to the main gate at 4pm and look for specially designated Cast Members who will assist in getting you set up.  Although the Halloween and Christmas parties officially start at 7pm, guests will be admitted as early as 4pm.  When the park closes at 7pm to regular guests, only those guests with wristbands may stay.  Cast Members do check and will kindly escort out anyone not wearing a wristband.

Both events have similar set-ups: holiday-specific themed fireworks and parades, character meet-and-greets, access to some regular Magic Kingdom attractions, themed food and beverages, dance parties, and other specialty events and shows.

We Were “Totally” Right About Tomorrowland Stage

WDWNT on August 28, 2009

According to the Orlando Sentinel Theme Park Rangers Blog:

A trusted source reports that Disney is reviving a Stitch show that will be presented this year during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. It’s name: “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas,” but it will include the rascally character.

Expect it on the stage where Stitch was previously seen for the short-lived, much-panned Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.

A Disney official told me they have nothing to announce at this time.

In an 8/16 photo report, I remarked that a new show was set to debut on the stage in November and that modifications were currently being made to the stage. It appears my sources were correct and we can expect “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas” to fill the gap caused by the demolition of the Galaxy Palace Theater and “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas”. Stay tuned to WDW News Today as we get more information on this breaking story.
