<\/a><\/p>\nHowever, if rides, time and money are not the issue, the park has some really great shows for all ages. Here are the top five shows and two bonus shows just for good measure!<\/p>\n
Little tykes will love Disney Junior: Live on Stages held about ten times daily at the Animation Courtyard. I love seeing little kids getting all excited when\u00a0Jake and the Never Land Pirates<\/em>,\u00a0Doc McStuffins<\/em>, and\u00a0Sofia the First\u00a0<\/em>from\u00a0Disney Channel’s\u00a0Mickey Mouse Clubhouse <\/em>lead them in\u00a0<\/em>singing and dancing along the show. I guarantee you that for preschoolers the show\u00a0will be the highlight of their day.<\/p>\n To top it all off kids can meet\u00a0the Disney Junior stars outside the show at a meet and greet.<\/p>\n The Voyage of the Little Mermaid<\/em>, also shown at Animation Courtyard is presented many times throughout the day and appeals to all ages. The show tells the story of Ariel with colorful puppets, live performers, special effects and movie clips. Ursula singing \u201cPoor Unfortunate Souls” is my favorite part of the show but small children may be frightened from the huge sea witch.<\/p>\n At the Theater of the Stars, the Beauty and the Beast<\/em> show is an absolute winner. The show is held outdoors under a giant canopy at on Sunset Boulevard. Even though we all agree that Gaston is a mighty bad guy, no aspect of the lavish Broadway-style musical is frightening in any way.<\/p>\n It is a romantic fairy tale\u2014as old as time. Good to know: while the canopy protects you from rain and sun remember that it can get real hot in the summer. I love getting to the show early and sit as close to the stage as possible. I usually pick a show around lunch or dinnertime, get some food and settle in. If you have a little Belle in your party you might get lucky and the Beast will hand her a rose at the end of the show.<\/p>\n Getting a rose is wonderful but how would you like it to be an \u2018extra\u2019? This is exactly what can happen to you if you get to Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!<\/em> early and if you display enough enthusiasm to revive a mummy from the dead. Yours truly did just that, got picked as an extra, and at this point should be grateful that my than teenage son did not follow my instructions to take lots of pictures. As for you, dear readers, when the casting call comes, be ready!<\/p>\n The show starts against the backdrop of temple ruins with Indiana Jones making a grand entrance but evolves quickly in a great stunt show with special effects and a grand finale with lots of explosions.<\/p>\n Talking about grand finale! Here is THE best show to see in ANY Walt Disney Park: Fantasmic!<\/em> Make sure you see the show at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. It is the largest theater facility ever created by Disney accommodating an audience of nearly 10,000. This being said, you still want to plan this properly and arrive early! Fantasmic!<\/em> staring Mickey Mouse in his role as the Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice from Fantasia is very popular. The show is presented once or twice a day and Disney is known to change the schedule often. Make sure you check if and when it is shown during your visit. If there are two shows and the weather is iffy, go for the show that is most likely to happen, as the show will be canceled for the safety of the cast due to inclement weather. The fireworks and lighting effects might frighten small children, but most of all be aware that sitting in the front rows will get you showered with mist.<\/p>\n I love the show and recommend you get yourself some food and arrive early for a spot that is comfortable to your party. One more thing to remember is that a theater that huge is also a perfect recipe for your party to get split up when the show is over. Make sure everybody knows where to regroup should you get separated.<\/p>\n And now to the bonus shows. All Frozen<\/em> fans will want to head to the Hyperion Theater for he showing of For the First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing Along Celebration.<\/em> Anna, Elsa and the newly appointed royal historians of Arendelle retell the story of the Frozen<\/em> gals and there is plenty of opportunity to sign along and \u201cLet it Go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
