What's New for Disney World in 2007
by Ryan Wiseman
A magical lineup of new attractions, live entertainment and special
events will make their debut at Walt Disney World Resort as part of
Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration, which lasts until
December 31, 2007. To top it all off, Disney cast members will award
"a million dreams" to guests selected through a random process
daily during the "Disney Dreams Giveaway."
New "Year of a Million Dreams" attractions at Disney World include
Finding Nemo - The Musical at Disney's Animal Kingdom and The
Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot. Based on Disney's animated
classic, the Broadway-style Finding Nemo - The Musical boasts
music, dance, acrobatics, puppetry and incredible animated
backdrops. Finding Nemo - The Musical takes place at the
state-of-the-art Theater in the Wild. The Sea with Nemo & Friends
allows you to ride aboard a "clamobile" and revisit all of your favorite
Finding Nemo characters, including Nemo, Dory, Marlin and Crush.
The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion (formerly The Living Seas
Pavilion) boasts a 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium.
Other special events and attractions that will take place at Disney
World during the "Year of a Million Dreams" include Captain Jack
Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial (Adventureland), The Happily Ever After Party
(Cinderella Castle), Woody's Cowboy Camp (Frontierland), High
School Musical Pep Rally (Tomorrowland), the Dream Along With
Mickey stage show (Cinderella Castle), Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor
Comedy Club (Tomorrowland) and Main Street Family Fun Day
Parade (Main Street, U.S.A.).
In addition to the "Year of a Million Dreams," Disney will introduce a
new after-hours event for 2007, Disney's Pirate & Princess Party,
which enables children to dress up as their favorite princess or pirate
and seek out royal beads and chocolate doubloons, explore pirate
coves and take part in princess courts, as well as enjoy a variety of
great activities throughout Disney's Magic Kingdom such as Disney's
Enchanted Adventures Parade and the "Magic, Music and Mayhem"
fireworks display.
Disney's Pirate & Princess Party runs during select days during
January, February and March from 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM. Advance
ticket prices are $36.95 plus tax for ages 10 and over and $29.95
plus tax for ages 3 through 9.
Visitors to Downtown Disney will also notice some new changes and
a few construction projects underway for 2007. One popular addition
to Pleasure Island is Raglan Road, a lively Irish pub that features
authentic Irish cuisine and four bars, as well as live Irish music and
dance. Within The World of Disney Store at Downtown Disney
Marketplace lies the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, a "magical salon" that
offers princess makeovers by "Fairy Godmothers-in-Training." Finally,
construction is scheduled to begin in late 2007 on the T-Rex Café, "A
Prehistoric Family Adventure" that boasts life-size dinosaurs,
waterfalls, geysers, a fossil dig site and much more. The T-Rex Café
will be located next to the McDonald's in Downtown Disney
Marketplace.
