Mickey and the Magical Map is a live musical show in Fantasyland at Disneyland. While it's not the best, it is also recommended.
This 22-minute live musical show features the sorcerer Yen Sid (spell it backward) showing his apprentice Mickey Mouse a magical map of the world, which can take you to anywhere imaginable. But when Mickey tries to finish the map by painting its one blank spot, well, something goes terribly amiss, of course.
The show features several classic Disney songs, including:
- "Journey to Imagination" written for this show
- "I Wan'na Be Like You" from Jungle Book
- "Just Around the River Bend" from Pocahontas
- "Reflection" from Mulan
- "I See the Light" from Tangled
- "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid
- "Hawaiian Roller Coaster" from Llio & Stitch
- "Dig a Little Deeper" from The Princess & the Frog
The show debuted May 25, 2013 and plays in the 1,800-seat Fantasyland Theater.
Great chance to sit down and enjoy a mishmash of popular songs from Disney animated classics.
Live entertainment is always a plus and will never be replaced by technology, so this is one of my favorites. While I think it's great, I get that it's not a must-do either. Solid dancers, good music, and a way to take a breather from the constant lines at Disneyland.
