The new fireworks show, “Magical” features a new song sung by Orange County’s own Eden Espinosa from Wicked and the real flying elephant, Dumbo. Tinkerbell also makes two appearances. The new show is very entertaining and I absolutely love the music. The shining star of the show in my opinion is Dumbo. He makes an appearance that will have your family oohing and ahhing. You will have to see for yourself. Dumbo is not to be missed!!
Fantasmic is back for its 17th year. It now features new digital video projectors which provide a much sharper picture on the water screens. There is also an appearance of the all new Flotsam and Jetsam floats from The Little Mermaid, who are quite scary but a fantastic addition! Later this summer, the evil Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty” will transform into the new fully animated, 40-foot-tall dragon. In my opinion, the best thing about this summer is Disney’s Electrical Parade at DCA (what can I say – I’m an absolute fanatic of the Electrical Parade). The show now features a new Tinkerbell float who leads the parade, taking the place of the Blue Fairy. Also back are new versions of the lost seven dwarfs mine float and the Pinocchio floats. The soundtrack has also been slightly updated for the better.
There is plenty to see at both parks, so take the kiddos. These shows will be played nightly through August 23rd and then weekends through Labor Day. A big thank you to Disney for making my dreams come true!!
