This past weekend, Disneyland Paris gave us the excellent surprise of magic and illusions. It was the long awaited debut of Mickey and the Magician at the Walt Disney Studios park. Press were invited to see the new show starring Mickey Mouse. It’s a unique show with a high quality of execution and vocal performances worthy of a Broadway theater. – Max (DLPwelcome)

Arrival at the Newport Bay Club

The hotel has regained its splendor since its recent renovation. Everything is simple and effective with a wonderful staff… rooms seem spacious and nice color palette.

On to Mickey and the Magician

You’ll immediately notice changes to the exterior of the theater. the paving has been reworked, there’s a new marquee in front of Animagique Theater, and the color palette of the building has been changed.

The atmosphere inside the theater has changed as well. This is a place of magic. The musical notes are a foretaste of the mysterious adventures which await you.

This show is simply one of the most beautiful creations of Disneyland Paris since the opening of the resort in 1992. I feel it is the best stage show ever created for the resort. It is a mix between a Broadway production, an illusion show and a Disney show. The result: Mickey and the Magician!
