Welcome aboard, Kelly!
The Golden Mickeys is one of my family's favorite of the fabulous Broadway-style shows offered on the Disney Wonder! We love seeing the song and dance numbers and our favorite Disney friends dressed in their formal best for this awards-type show.
Before the show begins, out in the hall between the
gift shops a camera crew will set up with the host of the show to interview a few guests as they arrive for the big night (think red carpet at the Oscars). If you arrive a half hour or more ahead of time and line up in that area, you can be one of the families, or just your kids, who are interviewed. My kids have done this a few times and really enjoy feeling like celebrities as they're interviewed on camera about who their favorite Disney characters are, where they're from, or any other fun question like that. The interview is shown live on the huge screens inside the
Walt Disney Theatre for guests who are already seated for the show. My husband will usually go in the theatre and watch the kids on the big screen while I hang out with them as they're interviewed live in on the red carpet. While you can't use cameras during the show, you can certainly videotape before the show as your kids are interviewed!
After the second production of the evening, head over to the Golden Mickeys After Party. It's a fun family dance party with Disney friends in
D Lounge. We've got some great memories of our kids dancing the night away with Goofy and Mickey in their tuxedos. So cute!
Have fun planning your magical adventure, Kelly!
