The never-before-seen additions to the upbeat musical were well received by guests, with the highlights of the show including deep underwater scenes from Finding Nemo.
Audiences were likewise thrilled with the magnificent emotional displays from Inside Out stars, as well as the highly-anticipated inspirational numbers from several Disney Princesses, all of which surprised and delighted Disney fans.
In addition, families attending the events were treated to stage appearances by legendary Disney characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald.
