Walking to the end of Main Street, USA where the Fantasyland of Magic Kingdom lies - Dear & I come to the Biggest & MOST Beautiful ICON of Walt Disney World - the Cinderella Castle!!

Dear & I know the location very well cos it’s the exact same location at the end of Main Street USA as that of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Hong Kong Disneyland where we visited last May. And alike the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Hong Kong, the Cinderella Castle’s also inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle of Germany which Dear & I had been very fortunate to tour during our Honeymoon back in 2002.

And well, along our way here, Dear’s greeted “HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES” a few times by fellow Disney staffs, which feels really wonderful!! And people know it’s Dear’s BIRTHDAY today cos they see Dear wearing his HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES Tag (pinned above the Letter I) on his MICKEY Mouse Sweater :

The magical Cinderella Castle behind my Prince MICKEY Dear :

And how can the Cinderella Castle stay alive without lovely PRINCESS Me ah!!

And coming closer to the Cinderella Castle, we see the Walt Disney & Mickey Statue as if to say a BIG HELLO to all visitors to Magic Kingdom!!

Here’s the Founders of Walt Disney World - the Disney Brothers - Walter Elias Disney (or Walt Disney) & his elder brother Roy Oliver Disney “Partners” Plate placed below the Walt Disney & Mickey Statue - it reads “We believe in our idea : a family park where parents & children could have fun - together” written by Walt Disney : 

Hey Hey!! Why are there so many people standing around & infront of the Cindereall Castle?!? Dear & I wonder as we squeeze our way through the crowds…………..then to realise that everybody’s waiting for the DREAM ALONG WITH MICKEY Musical which will soon begin on the Forefront Stage of the Castle!!

Heheh what accurate timing for Dear & I who’ve just arrived here & have totally no idea that there’s this Muscial Stage Show going on at 9.40am!!

Soon after we settle down at a spot among the crowds good enough to watch, the DREAM ALONG WITH MICKEY commenses with Disney Princes & Princesses, Peter Pan & his Girlfriend Wendy, Goofy, Donald, Mickey & Minnie & a pool of dancers appearing on Stage dancing & singing together to the most uplifting & cheerful beats :

Here’s my very first Video of our Tour of the Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom - DREAM ALONG WITH MICKEY - taken by ME standing on top of the cement pillar surrounding the Walt Disney & Mickey Statue way infront of the Cinderella Castle & zooming in my Camera :

And just as I get a little tired standing so high up on the pretty narrow pillar videographing the performance, I end my Video to start snapping more pics of the Cinderella Castle…………

And to our uttermost SURPRISE - Fireworks suddenly shoot up the bright BLUE sky from the Cinderella Castle!! What a Surprise!! What a Surprise as if it’s an extra huge special way of greeting Dear HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!! 

And in the midst of great cheers & sounds from the crowds & of course my own extreme excitement - I’ve no time at all to adjust to my Camera Video mode to take any Videos but to only capture the Fireworks in pics - & it turns out I’m really satisfied with my beautiful pics heheh!!!

My Most Favourite Pics of the Day - ain’t they amazing!!

Ending with more big happy cheers & clappings from the crowds, the Fireworks last only for a short while, but it’s already more than sufficient to Welcome all of us to the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World - as well as to start Dear & I on our journey to more magical moments in the Fantasyland!!

And soon Dear & I meet Cinderella’s Wicked Stepmother & Evil Stepsisters standing infront of some kind of dungeons in Fantasyland :

Evil Anastasia Tremaine with her Mother Lady Tremaine & Younger Sister Drizella Tremaine :

See the Yellow dressed Stepsister Drizella striking a POSE for my camera upon seeing Me - how friendly!! Unlike the Disney Characters during the Meet & Photography Sessions in Hong Kong Disneyland who will shun away from us when they see us not joining in their queues & trying to snap pics of them from afar!!!

We soon make our way into the Mickey’s PhilharMagic Theatre located at Fantasyland. Mickey’s PhilharMagic (presented by Kodak) is a 3-D film attraction featuring the world’s largest seamless projection screen, at 150 feet long & 28 feet high.

As we enter from the dimly-lit waiting area into the Theatre - we see this beautiful Gold Proscenium Stage decorated with Musical Instruments :

Dear & I soon get seated inside the Theatre with our 3-D Glasses getting most ready for our 12-minute magical trip into the Animation World :

And though Mickey’s PhilharMagic may be Mickey’s Orchestra at the Concert Hall (Theatre), it’s Donald Duck who actually steals the show!!

Bringing us through many of our favourite Disney Films - starting with Lumiere asking Donald to “Be Our Guest” (from Beauty & The Beast), & Donald later being washed away by Brooms (from ”The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” of Fantasia) when he touches Mickey’s magical Sorcerer’s Hat causing the magical Instruments to come to life…………so cute so cute………………….

Lumiere of Beauty And The Beast :

And soon Donald loses Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat when all the Instruments gather together to rebel against him when he bullies a small Flute………….causing him to go in search of the Hat Under The Sea with Ariel (The Little Mermaid) wishing she could be “Part of Your World”…………simply touching……………….

Donald in Mischief : 

Donald then flies high above London with Peter Pan & Tinker Bell (from “You Can Fly!! You Can Fly!! You Can Fly!!”)……………& is shown that Simba (from The Lion King) ”Just can’t wait to be King“…………. overwhelming as we watch……………… 

Aladdin & Jasmine on Magic Carpet :

And Donald’s later led by Aladdin & Jasmine on a Magic Carpet Ride through “A Whole New World“………….really lovely scene………………

Till finally Donald manages to retrieve Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat only to be knocked by Iago………..& chasing after it Donald returns to the Concert Hall where Mickey’s supposed to hold his Orchestra…………And that’s when Mickey saves the day by recovering his Sorcerer’s Hat & uses its powers to restore order………………finally in peace……………………

In the end, Donald gets knocked into a Tuba & is shot from the Stage into the Theatre’s back wall with a BIG Bang!!! Haha it’s as hilarious as we’re taken aback by Surprise!!! And I’ve never seen Donald so playfully adorable before today!!!

And the Disney’s songs throughout the Show are most memorable & the 3D effects are most brilliant with vibrations & sounds, & water, mist, air, wind & even scents releasing from our Theatre seats (as shown below) - bringing Dear & Me so much pure happiness & fun & making us bursting out in laughters!!!

It’s truely so Cool & Magical & so Fantastic haha!!

Now, please pardon me for the above pics taken during our Show being seen so blur cos remember we need to put on 3-D Glasses :))

And well, here’s my Video taken of the really cool & magical Mickey’s PhilharMagic - though it’d be best watched with 3-D Glasses (if you’ve got a pair on hand right now!!) :

And the following is my Slideshow of all Photos taken of the Dream Along With Mickey, & Mickey’s PhilharMagic, with the very amusing Silly Disney Symphony - Music Land - Cartoon Video  - Go on watch it after viewing my pics - HAVE FUN!!
