私たちは、東京ディズニーリゾートに行きます G&D Day 4/3

DAY FOUR (1/9) – Part Three – It’s Fantasmic, but not as we know it.

We get in position on the harbour frontage. There is a raised wall where if you sit to “reserve” your spot you can stand up as the show starts and you have a perfect view. People in front of you are on a lower level. It also means we can pop the video camera on a flat surface. And as we can lean on the wall top it means folk behind us have a good view too. And we are dead centre!
Forget stages with mountains. It all happens on or around the Sorcerer’s Hat. This is floating in the harbour. The score whilst similar in parts also varies.
The show begins with the tune of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" as shooting stars race around the hat.


Sorcerer Mickey emerges on the top the hat to conduct the action. The new theme song, "Imagination" plays as Mickey conducts the water fountains and images of different characters appear on the hat. The music shifts into the traditional Fantasmic! theme and weaves into "Sorcerer's Apprentice" as Mickey continues to conduct the stars and sea and calls on the Magic Brooms.


Sorry – it’s out of focus!

The waters rise and Ariel enters vocalizing "Part of Your World", as Crush and his seaturtle pack from Finding Nemo swim in the background. The dancing fish from Fantasia's "Nutcracker Suite" also appear as does Jiminy Cricket in his bubble, which pops and fills the scene with bubbles.
Mickey's eyes appear confused in the dark and the show enters as the show progresses into a jungle environment. Floats featuring giant inflatable versions of Baloo, King Louie, Pumbaa and a young Simba appear along with a floating Kaa who snakes through the water.



A medley of music from Tarzan, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King plays, eventually building up into the "Circle of Life" scene.





However, when Rafiki is about to hold up Simba, Stitch appears instead (similar to the "Inter-Stitch-als") and the music transitions into an electric guitar version of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" with Stitch conducting the water while Angel pilots Stitch's red speeder shooting plasma blasts. Mickey appears again, accompanied by the show's theme song and "When You Wish Upon A Star" and sets the stage for an appearance by the Genie singing "Friend Like Me" as well as the scene of "A Whole New World". As Aladdin and Jasmine fly off, the music segues into Cinderella and a sequence based on the Disney Princesses. Cinderella appears at the top of the hat which transforms into a giant version of her dress.



After the Princess medley, Mickey encounters the Magic Mirror which floats out on the water alongside the hat.


Mickey asks the Magic Mirror if he's the greatest sorcerer of all and the Mirror tells him to look closer and deeper into the mirror. By spraying a water screen within the mirror they project the Evil Queen who casts a spell trapping Mickey inside, allowing the villains to take control, each one appearing within the mirror. The Queen (now as the Old Hag) calls on the assistance of Ursula (singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls") and Chernabog (whose appearance is accompanied with a composition of "Night on Bald Mountain" and "Hellfire" with clips of the villains of the show. Jets of fire shoot out from the bottom of the hat during this sequence. The Queen laughs at the power of Mickey's imagination and the last villain emerges from the mirror: Maleficent who shows the power of her imagination by turning into her dragon form. The dragon actually pushes his head out from the mirror.


The dragon breaths fire onto the water.


Mickey finally defeats Maleficent and the other villains with his magic wand and the power of his imagination.



He falls back into his sleeping body and with a wave of Tinker Bell's wand, the show moves into the finale with a reprise of the song and many of the show's other characters appearing on various barges, including classic Mickey and company.

The barges stop and disappear into blackness as Sorcerer Mickey reappears on the tower, clad in a glowing, white, fibre-optic reflecting robe to conduct the final pyrotechnics and fountains as the music builds.



Mickey then remarks "Some Imagination, huh?" and disappears, with a few notes of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" theme and the final fanfare. The tower takes on the appearance of the Sorcerer's Hat and the exit music plays. And it is breath-taking. Totally different and yet totally familiar.
