Pixar Studios presents...
Join Mickey and Minnie on a trip to – and through – the movies in “Mickey and the Enchanted Projector!” For Mickey, a relaxing film date takes an unexpected turn when that irascible duo of Chip and Dale get their hands on the theater’s enchanted projector. Mickey is captured inside the film reels, and transported through a series of classic Disney movies. What starts as a simple screen show magically transforms into a live theater extravaganza full of special effects and songs, both beloved and original. It’s the perfect show for Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, and a perfect way to set the stage for a day at Disney!
THE MAIN STREET THEATRE
“Mickey and the Enchanted Projector” plays throughout the day at the new Main Street Theatre, modeled on Kansas City’s Willis Wood Theatre circa 1920, a venue which conjures up images of Walt Disney’s early life. The theater façade is formed of tasteful stonework, suggesting the stately movie palaces of the past. A marquee and posters, done in vintage style, advertise Mickey Mouse’s latest escapade. This 40-minute-long live show performs every hour-and-a-quarter at the following times:
10:15 AM
11:30 AM
12:45 PM
2:30 PM
3:45 PM
5:00 PM
LOBBY
Guests are welcome to mingle in the Theatre’s lobby starting half an hour before every performance. The interior is a tasteful fusion of many different period movie palaces, from a time when classical design merged with vibrant Art Deco. Design elements are borrowed liberally from a variety of sources, including the Willis Wood Theatre, the Carthay Circle, and assorted similar vintage venues from throughout the Midwest.
Such settings were often the cultural hearts of their small towns, places where cinema and live theater both might be found. As such, there is a stateliness and grandeur beyond compare. A dark red carpet leads guests like royalty into the lobby. Popcorn bulbs line the wall scrims and the posters, adding a touch of glitz. Molding is done in gold gilt. Columns boast elaborate carving, calling to mind ancient Roman temples. Low-key jazz music wafts through the rich atmosphere.
A grand stairway leads upstairs, cordoned off by a velvet rope, unavailable to guests. At the top, barely visible, is a heavy industrial door marked “PROJECTOR ROOM.” From within, keen guests might hear familiar voices, those of Chip and Dale, debating passionately as film reels clang and bang all around.
Indeed, inspection of the lobby reveals that Mickey Mouse himself is the owner of this theater! Posters behind glass are all of Mickey’s early Silly Symphony films. A case holds film reels within canisters, all bearing the titles of Mickey shorts. A plaque details the building’s history – dedicated on December 5th, 1901 (Walt Disney’s birth date), formerly owned by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, purchased by Mickey in 1928.
Additionally, our lobby boasts a dedicated restroom for waiting guests, itself also outfitted in the glamour of yesteryear.
MAIN STREET THEATRE CONCESSIONS
One noteworthy lobby feature is the concessions stand, a classic movie theater sight. A kettle of popcorn behind glass eternally pops. The buttery scent of popcorn pervades the lobby.
Main Street Theatre Concessions rests on an outer wall shared with the theater’s front façade facing Main Street. Much like the Dole Whip stand at the Enchanted Tiki Room, this allows the theater to sell snacks to both lobby guests as well as to families passing by outside. (Psst, the lines in the lobby are usually shorter.) And like the Tiki Room, theatergoers are more than welcome to carry their snacks into the main theater to enjoy during a performance. (Theater seats come equipped with trays, and our janitorial staff maintains utmost cleanliness in between shows.)
The menu prominently features sweet kettle corn soft serve (“Popcorn Whip”). This unique concoction, meant to conjure cinematic memories, makes Main Street Theatre Concessions a one-of-a-kind eatery and an attraction in itself. Menu items include:
Popcorn Whip Soft Serve - $4.49
Red Licorice - $2.99
Popcorn Whip Float (served with Barq’s Root Beer, available chilled or frozen) - $5.49
Popcorn Whip Sundae (with chunks of kettle corn, red licorice, hot chocolate and caramel sauce, and gooey homemade marshmallow) – $6.49
Barq’s Root Beer (available chilled or frozen) - $2.99
THEATER SEATING
Fifteen minutes prior to showtime, guests are allowed into the main theater. Cast members clad as ushers take care to organize guests through different entry doors to different theater sections – loge, orchestra, and the upstairs mezzanine (accessible also via elevator). Total theater capacity is just under 1,000 people.
The main theater is massive and airy. Overhead, dangling from a frescoed cupola, is a golden chandelier formed of three spheres, which together subtly suggest Mickey’s ears. Hidden Mickeys line the molding. This huge chamber is dominated by reds and golds. Grecian columns line the outer walls, drawing sightlines to the center, to the screen. Within the columns are landscape murals. It was common for 1920s theaters to recall the wilderness, to suggest a pastoral requiem. Our gouache murals feature background forest paintings from Walt Disney’s Snow White.
A small mahogany stage sits before the movie screen. This screen hides the vast theater stage behind it, to be revealed during the show using transparencies just before the screen itself “magically” lifts away. For now, however, the screen displays a projected preshow of old Mickey Mouse shorts such as Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie.
The projector room, source of these clips, is located upstairs behind the mezzanine. Gathering guests can hear the clackety-clackety sound of spinning reels, and see dust specks floating in the bright spotlight. This projector room isn’t simply an additional immersive detail; it features prominently in the performance to come…
