Disney to Create First-Ever Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic for Disneyland Show | D23 2024

During the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 2024, the Mickey Mouse company announced plans to introduce the first-ever audio-animatronic based on its founder, Walt Disney.

The piece will be included as part of an addition called Walt Disney: A Magical Life, which promises a new show for Disneyland’s Main Street Opera House. Expect to learn more as we wait for it to debut sometime in 2025, where it will join the rotation with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Until then, check out a few early images below.
