With a little convincing words to my friend Eco, Kris and Kat. We found ourselves flying to Hongkong fulfilling our dreams to visit Disneyland and to finally watch the Gold Mickeys!
At first, we were hesitant to add other itineraries for our vacation since my main goal is to step on the Mickeylandia and watch them perform right in front of my eyes. So we spent almost a whole day only for Disneyland!
It was summer in hongkong (August 2009) when we arrived. All I did was jump and shout to my amazement! Took photos of every single angle Mickey Mouse will appear! From train handle to lights to bricks and tiles. I was very happy that time. I even had a jump shot photo right in front of Disneyland and I really didn’t care how people reacted.
Everyone seems fulfilling their childhood dreams as well!
We rode on the roundtrip train, fall in line for Pluto, Goofy and Mickey for photo ops. We rode on the colorful big cups, we bought stuff toys, we went to Small word and get into the small boat for a relaxing tour around and we finally watched the Golden Mickeys Show! It was indeed memorable and fulfilling to see Toy Story 3 characters dancing, Tarzan doing his moves, under the sea acts plus lil’o and stitch and all of them performing before my eyes! I am overwhelmed. I think that time I am fulfilling a dream, I am completing my childhood dream! We were so happy.
And then of course we didn’t fail to miss the Grand fireworks at night. We were all looking at the sky. Writing this experience again made me smile. I can even hear Wish Upon a Star on the background!
It is one of the memorable shows and experience for me to count on. We never regret that flight and vacation. Indeed we need a good one. And I would say that Disney experience should be our top choice!
But you might be thinking it is too far to experience Disney? Think again. Lucky you all because you don’t have to go somewhere outside the country to see them perform! This September and October, DISNEY is coming to MANILA. Yes, I repeat Disney is coming to Manila and Cebu City!!
DISNEY LIVE IN MANILA and CEBU CITY!
Mickey Mouse and his band of friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy will be performing in a music mash-up of mega proportions as Disney Live! comes to Manila and Cebu City for the first time with its newest stage show Mickey’s Music Festival. Concert goers will hear greatest hits from the blockbuster movies, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story remixed to rock, pop, reggae, hip-hop, jazz and country, among other jams.
EVERYONE IS INVITED TO WATCH THE SHOW!
Produced by Feld Entertainment, Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival brings the biggest concert experience to hit live family entertainment. This show is presented in the Philippines by Vivre Fort Entertainment Inc., Guess Kids and Fox International Channels.
“One song can touch millions of people around the world and Disney has been at the beat of this concept for years by making music a main ingredient of storytelling,” said Producer and CEO of Feld Entertainment Kenneth Feld.
“In Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival we are celebrating with the Disney characters to a soundtrack of the latest sounds and chart-topping hits. We want our guests to walk away with lasting memories and singing these unforgettable melodies long after they leave the show.”
Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival, featuring an all star line-up of more than 25 Disney characters, begins with audiences watching a state-of-the-art video projection of the frenzy backstage which spills onto the stage as Mickey welcomes guests to his concert tour. Soon thereafter, they will be transported to a new world of hip hop beats, dizzying acrobatics, flying carpets and magical transformations with Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie. Underwater is where the crowd will meet up with Ariel, Sebastian and their nautical pals to groove to the reggae rhythm. And, family and friends will stomp to the beat as Woody, Buzz and Jessie teach them how to boogie rodeo-style. Anyone can be a member of the band as giant-sized balloons fall from the ceiling in one scene and then in the next, Disney characters are dancing in the aisles.
“We’ve created an environment where audience members will be able to connect with the Disney stars,” said Alana Feld, Producer and Executive Vice President of Feld Entertainment.
“Within each concert moment are elements of personal interaction and they will be harmonizing, dancing, laughing and having an outrageously good time with the characters right there in their city.”
