The Magic Kingdom actually giving guests a true magical moment.

WDW deciding to phase out Disney Characters roaming across the park started sometime after the opening of Mickey's Birthdayland/Startland/ToonTown Fair sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s. I remember in an older episode of the Disney Dish Podcast, Jim Hill and @lentesta mentioned that...

Whoops silly me. :hilarious: My mistake, it's been a while since I've seen any news for WDW that made smile and excited. :) Goes back to crossing fingers for Marie's return to the Epcot's France Pavilion

Looks like its not just Mickey who was also roaming across MK today @wdwmagic . Minnie, Goofy, and Daisy were also spotted roaming across Fantasyland today. https://blogmickey.com/2026/02/mickey-mouse-surprise-roaming-sessions-at-magic-kingdom/

I remember seeing a fun video at Disneyland showing Pinocchio and Geppetto wandering around Main Street. Pinocchio was being very playful that day and decided to sign a visitors autograph while skipping.

I remember seeing a video showing Alice, The Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and the Queen of Hearts riding the tea cups in Fantasyland. In the video you can faintly hear the Hatter singing "The Unbirthday Song" in the distance. It gave me the biggest smile of my face. To a similar...

There was a time when WDW actually allowed Disney Characters to entertain guests before they arrived at the ticket booth. During the 1980s and 1990s, you would occasionally see either Goofy, Pinocchio, or Mr Smee Water skiing across The Seven Seas Lagoon to passengers who are either arriving or...

That actually used to be standard for WDW between the 70s, 80s, and mid to late 90s. I remember seeing an old photo of Fantasyland that showed Scat Cat and the Alley Cats from The Aristocats meeting guests during the late 70s.

I remember when I first visited WDW during the July 2004. I remember seeing a group of Disney Characters heading straight to an area to prepare for the Share A Dream Come True Parade. I believe my parents have a VHS recording of that moment somewhere in my house.

What a pleasant surprise! Mickey hadn't wandered around MK (let alone meeting guests at Fantasyland) since the 70s and 80s. I still love this old homevideo recording where Mickey played with guests near the park's entrance.

Yeah, there was going to be a Fantasia boat ride based on The Pastoral Symphony segment that featured unicorns, the Pegasus family, fauns, and other mythological creatures and "Dance of the Hour". I think there's concept art of the Fantasia boat ride somewhere online.

I remember Thumper and Miss Bunny used to be common meetable characters at AK back when Camp Minnie Mickey was around during the late 2000s/early 2010s.

Bambi?

I actually found a few rare videos of Spectromagic going the opposite route. I believe one of them was taken sometime in the early to mid 1990s and another from the early to mid 2000s.

What made Spectromagic stand out from the other electrical parades that Disney created is not only did it feel more lively. But the parade had a few interactive elements towards guests. I'll never forget seeing Ursula get up close to you to have a short conversation and attempting to steal your...
