Dream Along With Mickey

Dream Along With Mickey is the next show I wanted to talk about because it holds a very special place in my heart. It was one of the things that made me start to become serious about dancing. For as long as this show has been around, I used to be in the middle of Main St. USA watching and dancing along with everyone in the show. If I could ever have a dream dance job, this would be it. Why you may ask? Why would that of all things be the dream dance job? Because it is a combination of everything magical and wonderful!

For starters (and most importantly), it takes place on the stage in front of Cinderella's castle. Could you dream of a more stellar background. And this isn't just some plain old stage you'd see at any show, It has different heights, art work, and fireworks and other special effects come out of it.

The show starts out with some of you favorite original characters; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy paired with beautiful dancers as they all talk about their dreams and wishes. Donald, being that stubborn brat he always is, doesn't quite believe in dreams and wishes yet so to help him believe the gang invites some guests over...

Cue the princesses and princes!!

 Aurora and Prince Philip. Cinderella and Prince Charming. Snow White and her prince. Ahh just the fairy tale magic you were craving. But of course, what good Disney show is there without villains and adventure? That's right, there isn't one because Disney villains are just as awesome and fun as the heroes. *SPOILER ALERT* Maleficent crashes the party per usual to agree with Donald and bring nightmares into the kingdom.

I won't spoil the ending for you, but I will say keep your eyes open for some other guests and your clue is: "Second star to the right, and straight on till morning."

The show runs daily at 10:05am, 11:05am, 2:00pm, 4:15pm, and 5:15pm. Show up a bit early to get a good viewing spot. This is what really inspired me to take dance seriously when I was younger and it is why I am still currently going on Disney auditions. Even if you aren't a dancer, this show will bring a smile to your face and remind you to never give up on your dreams.

"And perhaps someday, a dream that you wish will come true..."
