Playing the Part
Tips
Immersive entertainment experiences continue to be added to the already
impressive lineup of street-style shows in the Magic Kingdom:
1. Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial (Adventureland): The great Captain
himself, along with his mate Mack, take on a pint-size crew of pirates-in-
training, teaching them the art of swordplay and other silly swashbuckling
fun. Upon completion, the little pirates are sworn in as official swashbucklers
as they say the pirate's oath and become honorary buccaneers and part of
Captain Jack's crew.
2. Move It Shake It Celebrate It Parade (Main Street, U.S.A.): Guests are invited to
join in and dance down Main Street right along with their favorite Disney char-
acters, floats, and stilt walkers during this high energy street celebration.
3. Stitch's SuperSonic Celebration (Tomorrowland): In honor of Galaxy Day,
Stitch and a slew of his galactic friends take to the Tomorrowland streets to
celebrate alongside park-goers during this all new interactive retro-futuristic
dance party. Shows take place several times a day.

Heffalumps, Woozles, Blustery Days, and the Floody Place. Young kids absolutely love
it, but be prepared to brave some
very
long lines if you don't use FASTPASS.
Tip:
Be sure
to take your tinier tots across to Pooh's Playful Spot, a small play area filled with places
to crawl, slide, and occasionally get wet.

This is by far the most amazing 3-D movie production I've ever laid eyes on and is a
must-see for everyone. Popular Disney characters—including Ariel, Simba, and Alad-
din—are brought to 3-D life on a 150-foot screen (the largest wraparound screen on the
planet) as they try to help (or in some cases hinder) the attempts of Donald Duck to
retrieve Mickey's magical sorcerer's hat before the Mouse discovers it's missing. It's the
first time the classic Disney characters have ever been rendered in 3-D. Even if you're not
a big fan of shows, this is one you should see. Like (but far better than) the whimsical
Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D
(p. 240) at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the show
combines music, animated film, puppetry, and special effects that tickle several of your
senses. The kids will love the animation and effects, and parents will enjoy the nostalgia
factor.
Peter Pan's Flight
Frommer's Rating:
A for kids and parents
Recommended Ages:
3-8
Another of Disney's simple pleasures, this is a classic ride that's fun for the whole family.
You'll fly through the sky in your very own ship (much like that of Captain Hook), gliding
over familiar scenes from the adventures of Peter Pan. Your adventure begins in the Dar-
lings' nursery and includes a flight over an elaborate nighttime cityscape of Merry Ole'
London, before you move on to Never Land. There you encounter mermaids, Indians, Tick
