At the Disney-MGM Studios, an inventive daytime parade salutes Mulan with 53 performers, acrobats and puppeteers. Its centerpiece is the 150-foot-long Great Stone Dragon, with 17 performers walking and winding to portray the Great Wall of China.
A festival of lasers, fountains and dazzling special effects is lighting up the nighttime skies at the Studios. Fantasmic! takes guests inside the dreams of Mickey Mouse to a world where magic creates shooting comets, swirling stars, balls of fire and other wonders.
In addition, Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster opens this summer. It features a synchronized soundtrack that plays in each ride vehicle as guests are blasted into the high-speed adventure. There are unexpected twists and turns, including three inverted loops.
After a day at the theme parks, guests will find new and novel places to relax. Giant icons from five Disney films set the scene at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort next door to Disney's All-Star Music and All-Star Sports resorts. This is the place to meet the "biggest" stars: Pongo and Perdita from 101 Dalmatians and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story reach heights of more than 35 feet, and Herbie the famous love bug is five times his normal size.
Opening this summer at Disney-MGM Studios, the Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster promises to shake, rattle and roll visitors with music synchronized to each twist and turn of this thrill ride.
