Mickey’s PhilharMagic

Tokyo Disneyland New Attraction

Mickey’s PhilharMagic is a theater-type attraction employing Disney’s 3-D

technology. Guests are invited into the theater for an orchestra concert, but

Donald Duck causes a commotion, taking the Guests into a musical whirlwind

through popular Disney films. It’s a fun- filled philharmonic mayhem into

the magical world of Disney, with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other

Disney characters popping out of the screen to just an arm’s reach away from

the Guests.

Opening date: 2011 (tentative)

Location: Fantasyland

Seating: Approximately 450

Total capital invested: Approximately 6 billion yen

Peripheral facility: Merchandise shop

The new attraction, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, will replace the attraction The

Mickey Mouse Revue, which will close on May 25, 2009 in preparation for the new

attraction.
