In case you are not familiar with Mickey’s PhilharMagic, it is an incredible 3D adventure that stars some of our favorite classic Disney characters including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as they get ready to put on an incredible orchestra. However, Donald decides to put on Mickey’s sorcerer hat and things get a little out of hand.
Donald ends up going through some of the most beloved Disney animated films as he finds himself stuck right in the middle of some Disney classic song scenes. These include “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast, “A Whole New World” from Aladdin, “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” from The Lion King, “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid, and more.
And just recently, Mickey’s PhilharMagic underwent a refurbishment as Disney added a brand-new scene featuring Disney Pixar’s Coco to the show. However, just weeks after the big reveal of the new scene, it seems as though the show is experiencing some technical difficulties as its been down at Magic Kingdom since Park opening.
According to WDW Stats on Twitter, Mickey’s PhilharMagic has been closed since 8:00 a.m. this morning:
