RUMOR: Dream Along with Mickey Ending at Magic Kingdom; Character Cuts at Disney World

RUMOR: Dream Along with Mickey Ending at Magic Kingdom:

Rumors began surfacing the other day that Dream Along with Mickey at Magic Kingdom will be ending in April. According to sources and several cast members have been told that the stage show will be ending. Of course no official announcement has been made by Disney yet. 

The stage show which debuted at Magic Kingdom on September 30, 2006 hasn't really been updated since its debut. The show is 20 minutes long and features many of our favorite characters as they celebrate the magic of dreams as "happily ever after" comes alive before your eyes. 

Rumor is the show will be replaced by a new "Frozen" stage show but again nothing is confirmed and is just rumor. Stay tuned as we await the fate of "Dream Along with Mickey" among any other things that seem to be going away at Disney World these days.

Character Cuts at Disney World: 

According to Kenny the Pirate, Lady Tremaine will be going away from her Magic Kingdom meet & greet on February 21, 2016.  She will continue to greet guests during dinner at 1900 Park Fare. That's not the only character cut from Disney World Parks:

Yesterday, Epcot saw the last day of greeting guests for several characters including, Princess Aurora from the France pavilion, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, and Chip & Dale from their regular meet by Innoventions. There is a chance that these characters could be back greeting guests in the coming months but no word has been announced.

There is also a chance for some new characters to begin greeting guests inside the parks but again no announcements have been made.

Along with the Disney Parks Blog, today the Disney Cruise Line made a big announcement for one of its cruise ships. "Tangled: The Musical" is coming to Disney Magic this November. It will be the first time that the story of Rapunzel will be told on stage and the production will include brand new songs produced by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken.

Here is what was written on the blog about "Tangled: The Musical":

“Tangled: The Musical” will immerse you in Rapunzel’s fairytale world through lavish production numbers and spellbinding music. The show will stay true to the storyline from the hit feature film—with a few special twists to create a live staged production—featuring favorite characters like Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, the villainous Mother Gothel and Maximus the police horse. Three new songs created exclusively for this show by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and Grammy Award-winning lyricist Glenn Slater will bring the story to life onstage.

"Tangled: The Musical" will premiere on the November 11 four-night Bahamian sailing onboard the Disney Magic.

Disney Makes Plans for Live-Action Winnie the Pooh Film:

It shouldn't come to shock to anyone that Disney again today announced plans of another live-action remake of one of its animated classics "Winnie the Pooh." It is just another film to the list as the last few weeks Disney has been breaking news of which film they are working on next. The "Winnie the Pooh" live-action film will be written by writer Alex Ross Perry, most known for as the writer/director of the Sundance film "Listen Up Phillip. 

The film will be based on a grown up Christopher Robin which will bring back to A.A. Milne's famous bear and the Hundred Acre Wood. There has been no set released date for the film. "Winnie the Pooh" joins a long list of planned live-action films that Disney has announced which include:

• Alice in Wonderland (2010)
• Maleficent (2014)
• Cinderella (2015)
• The Jungle Book
• Alice in Wonderland 2
• Beauty and the Beast
