At the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro just announced that the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park will be getting a new show next year featuring the first audio-animatronic figure of Walt Disney.
Walt Disney – A Magical Life will celebrate the past, present, and future, taking guests inside Walt’s office where he will share his hopes and dreams.
D’Amaro told the crowd in Anaheim, “I speak for our entire team when I say there is so much pride and excitement for everyone involved in this endeavor.”
After its initial run, Walt Disney-A Magical Life will play in rotation with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
