Its a new 3D film in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

Disney magic meets Disney music in a new 3-D film spectacular debuting in 2003 at the Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World®Resort.

"Mickey's PhilharMagic" will star Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other favorite Disney characters animated in a way they've never before been seen: grand, glorious, in-your-face three dimensions.

"We're really excited about this new attraction," said Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Guests love the Disney characters and films, and this gives them the chance to take a magical ride right into the world of Disney animation."

The "Mickey's PhilharMagic" cast will include Mickey and Donald, as well as Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," Aladdin and Jasmine from "Aladdin" and Simba from "The Lion King."

Set in the PhilharMagic Concert Hall, which replaces "Legend of the Lion King" in Fantasyland, the eye-popping 3-D experience will unfold on one of the largest screens ever created for a 3-D film, a 150-foot-wide canvas.

Complete with in-theater effects, the attraction will immerse guests in the richly animated world of the Disney characters. The Walt Disney Company has experimented with animating the Disney characters in 3-D before, most notably in "Working for Peanuts," a 1953 Donald Duck/Chip 'n' Dale cartoon short, but never on a scale as grand as "Mickey's PhilharMagic." The attraction is being produced through the combined efforts of Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Feature Animation.

"We're always exploring ways to take 3-D to the next level," said Tom Fitzgerald, executive vice president and senior creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering. "From 'Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D' to 'Honey, I Shrunk the Audience' to 'It's Tough to be a Bug!', we keep looking for new ways to allow guests to become a part of the action and story.

" 'Mickey's PhilharMagic' will be the most animated, energetic and magical 3-D show we've ever created!"

You will get there one day. I always wanted to go there with my family as well, but it never happened. When I turned 30 years old, I finally got the chance to take my mom there and she loved it and had the time of her life. I still hope that I can take the rest of my family there too so they can see the magic for themselves, and so that we can have the trip we should have had a long, long time ago.

I never went as a child myself. My parents also did not travel when I was kid, therefore all the travelling I have done has been on my own as an adult. Just promise yourself that when you are older, you will take youself.

I am going to try to go to Disneyland or Disney World at least once a year for the next few years. This is my favorite vacation spot and I never grow tired of it! I am just counting down the days until December!

I hope Philharmagic is as good as It's Tough to be a Bug at Animal Kingdom. It is a 3D-interactive movie that is fabulous! It features Flik from Bug's Life. If you haven't ever seen it and are going to Animal Kingdom in WDW, it is a must do! It's funny and loads of fun. I won't give away the secrets here; you really should experience first hand.
