NEWS &

NOTES

STAGE NEWS

An all-newWalt Disney World production is being unveiled this summer. Performed at the base

of Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom,

Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire

combines classic

characters headlined by Mickey with modern favorites from recent hit films

Frozen

The Princess

and the Frog

, and

Tangled

. Expect lots of singing — including an original song — dancing,

and special effects. And princess fans will want to have their cameras at the ready:

Mickey’s

Royal Friendship Faire

will mark the first time Tiana and Rapunzel appear in a performance on

the castle stage.

BRICK-OR-TREAT

The world’s largest Lego jack-o’-lantern will be a huge draw in itself,

but that’s certainly not the only reason to visit Legoland Florida in

October, when family-friendly, Halloween-themed events will be the

order of the day (and night!). Highlights include trick-or-treating on the

Brick or Treat Trail, Lego-building activities, a scavenger hunt, large-

scale Lego models, and a Halloween-themed fireworks show.

For the first time since the park

opened in 1998, Disney’s Animal

Kingdom has introduced nighttime

operating hours, along with lots of new

after-dark excitement. Parkgoers can

now witness resident animals’ noc-

turnal behavior on a safari ride; a

three-minute “awakening” of the ani-

mal spirits on the park’s centerpiece

Tree of Life, illustrated with lights,

colors, and animations; a livelyAfrican

street celebration complete with

singers and acrobats; and a sunset

Carnival-inspired dance party bustling

with musicians, stilt walkers, and

dancers. The crowning jewel of these

new additions: a show-stopping spec-

tacle entitled

Rivers of Light

, which

employs massive water screens, foun-

tains, Asian-inspired floating lanterns,

and live performers to bring the ani-

mal world to life. A finale centered on

one of nature’s most striking phenom-

enon, the aurora borealis, is sure to

drop jaws.
