Just off Surrealist Street is the Garden District home to Mickey and the Magic Projector show and the dark ride, Haunted Hall. Off to the side stands a lonely shack barely big enough to for a single person to enter. This the Gardener's home, who appears in many forms, sometimes a young woman, an old man, or a matronly motherly type. The Gardener takes care of the surrounding gardens and the magic they hold. Daily, the Gardener will tell guests the story of the gardens and the magic that lives there and causes the lights to shine at night.
Garden of Light
Guests who venture into the garden will come upon towering topiaries and fields of glass sculptures designed to inspire and incite creativity. Book benches line the walkways and offer seating in hidden alcoves letting guests just enjoy the beauty of nature during the day. One of the highlight is the hedge maze with interactive elements like music, bubbles, jumping fountains, and more.
At night, the Gardener will host the lighting of the gardens. If enough people have shared their dreams and visions during the day, the garden will light up with the hope and creativity of the guests. Little by little, the garden lights up in an array of colors inviting guests to explore this new take on the garden.
Guests taking the main pathway, will come upon a brand new theatre show hosted by Mickey. The welcome sign beckons guests to come inside for the premiere of the first show in this newly constructed building: Mickey and the Enchanted Projector.
"MICKEY AND THE ENCHANTED PROJECTOR"
Join Mickey and Minnie on a trip to – and through – the movies in “Mickey and the Enchanted Projector!” For Mickey, a relaxing film date takes an unexpected turn when that irascible duo of Chip and Dale get their hands on the theater’s enchanted projector. Mickey is captured inside the film reels, and transported through a series of classic Disney movies. What starts as a simple screen show magically transforms into a live theater extravaganza full of special effects and songs, both beloved and original. It’s the perfect show for Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, and a perfect way to set the stage for a day at Disney!
THE MAIN STREET THEATRE “Mickey and the Enchanted Projector” plays throughout the day at the new Main Street Theatre, modeled on Kansas City’s Willis Wood Theatre circa 1920, a venue which conjures up images of Walt Disney’s early life. The theater façade is formed of tasteful stonework, suggesting the stately movie palaces of the past. A marquee and posters, done in vintage style, advertise Mickey Mouse’s latest escapade. This 40-minute-long live show performs every hour-and-a-quarter at the following times:
10:15 AM 11:30 AM 12:45 PM 2:30 PM 3:45 PM 5:00 PM
LOBBY Guests are welcome to mingle in the Theatre’s lobby starting half an hour before every performance. The interior is a tasteful fusion of many different period movie palaces, from a time when classical design merged with vibrant Art Deco. Design elements are borrowed liberally from a variety of sources, including the Willis Wood Theatre, the Carthay Circle, and assorted similar vintage venues from throughout the Midwest.
Such settings were often the cultural hearts of their small towns, places where cinema and live theater both might be found. As such, there is a stateliness and grandeur beyond compare. A dark red carpet leads guests like royalty into the lobby. Popcorn bulbs line the wall scrims and the posters, adding a touch of glitz. Molding is done in gold gilt. Columns boast elaborate carving, calling to mind ancient Roman temples. Low-key jazz music wafts through the rich atmosphere.
A grand stairway leads upstairs, cordoned off by a velvet rope, unavailable to guests. At the top, barely visible, is a heavy industrial door marked “PROJECTOR ROOM.” From within, keen guests might hear familiar voices, those of Chip and Dale, debating passionately as film reels clang and bang all around.
Indeed, inspection of the lobby reveals that Mickey Mouse himself is the owner of this theater! Posters behind glass are all of Mickey’s early Silly Symphony films. A case holds film reels within canisters, all bearing the titles of Mickey shorts. A plaque details the building’s history – dedicated on December 5th, 1901 (Walt Disney’s birth date), formerly owned by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, purchased by Mickey in 1928.
Additionally, our lobby boasts a dedicated restroom for waiting guests, itself also outfitted in the glamour of yesteryear.
MAIN STREET THEATRE CONCESSIONS One noteworthy lobby feature is the concessions stand, a classic movie theater sight. A kettle of popcorn behind glass eternally pops. The buttery scent of popcorn pervades the lobby.
Main Street Theatre Concessions rests on an outer wall shared with the theater’s front façade facing Main Street. Much like the Dole Whip stand at the Enchanted Tiki Room, this allows the theater to sell snacks to both lobby guests as well as to families passing by outside. (Psst, the lines in the lobby are usually shorter.) And like the Tiki Room, theatergoers are more than welcome to carry their snacks into the main theater to enjoy during a performance. (Theater seats come equipped with trays, and our janitorial staff maintains utmost cleanliness in between shows.)
The menu prominently features sweet kettle corn soft serve (“Popcorn Whip”). This unique concoction, meant to conjure cinematic memories, makes Main Street Theatre Concessions a one-of-a-kind eatery and an attraction in itself. Menu items include:
Popcorn Whip Soft Serve - $4.49 Red Licorice - $2.99 Popcorn Whip Float (served with Barq’s Root Beer, available chilled or frozen) - $5.49 Popcorn Whip Sundae (with chunks of kettle corn, red licorice, hot chocolate and caramel sauce, and gooey homemade marshmallow) – $6.49 Barq’s Root Beer (available chilled or frozen) - $2.99
Fifteen minutes prior to showtime, guests are allowed into the main theater. Cast members clad as ushers take care to organize guests through different entry doors to different theater sections – loge, orchestra, and the upstairs mezzanine (accessible also via elevator). Total theater capacity is just under 1,000 people.
The main theater is massive and airy. Overhead, dangling from a frescoed cupola, is a golden chandelier formed of three spheres, which together subtly suggest Mickey’s ears. Hidden Mickeys line the molding. This huge chamber is dominated by reds and golds. Grecian columns line the outer walls, drawing sightlines to the center, to the screen. Within the columns are landscape murals. It was common for 1920s theaters to recall the wilderness, to suggest a pastoral requiem. Our gouache murals feature background forest paintings from Walt Disney’s Snow White.
A small mahogany stage sits before the movie screen. This screen hides the vast theater stage behind it, to be revealed during the show using transparencies just before the screen itself “magically” lifts away. For now, however, the screen displays a projected preshow of old Mickey Mouse shorts such as Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie.
The projector room, source of these clips, is located upstairs behind the mezzanine. Gathering guests can hear the clackety-clackety sound of spinning reels, and see dust specks floating in the bright spotlight. This projector room isn’t simply an additional immersive detail; it features prominently in the performance to come…

SCENE SIX THE CLICK OF THE FILM BEING INSERTED INTO THE PROJECTOR OCCURS AS CINDERELLA APPEARS, WEARING RAGS AND SOBBING INTO THE LAP OF FAIRY GODMOTHER
CINDERELLA Oh it’s no use. Not anymore! No matter how hard I try, Stepmother only sets me back even further! I just can’t believe!

ANNOUNCER Thank you for joining us for Mickey and the Enchanted Projector. Now, please collect all your belongings and enjoy the rest of your day here at the Magic Kingdom!
After exiting the show, most guests will wander back into the main gardens, but others might stumble across the crumbling ruins of a stone archway. The plants surrounding this gate have grown wild and seem to be strangling the life out of the stone and almost obscures the overgrown pathway that leads further back into the garden.
After passing through the gate, the garden falls away to dark plants devoid of flowers and color. Weeds and tall grasses line the pathway and hide the looming building at the end of the road.
Haunted Hall
This dark ride uses the trackless ride system instead of the standard omnimover system found in most haunted mansions. This will allow imagineers to have more control over what the guests will see and immerse the guests more into the story.
Just before entering through the front doors, the comedy/tragedy masks seem to morph into cruel visages, and the faded sign designating this building as Haunted Hall doesn't make anyone feel safe. Any previous name for the hall has long since been scratched out and replaced with the hand written "Haunted".
After guests are loaded into their vehicles they are greeted by a ghost light that flitters around the vehicles (and serves to focus guests attentions). This ghost light leads guests deep into the theatre and deeper into "danger".
Strange sounds and some minor jumps pepper this attraction giving into the darker aspects of the paranormal and brings the chills that the tranquility of the Garden of Lights belies.
Hands beat against glass panes as if desperately trying to reach the guests; the noise crescendos as more hands join in the beating of the glass. Still guests follow the ghost light as if it was the only thing keeping the guests safe, but is it really?
Shadows of former performers and stage hands roam the halls, never seeming to acknowledge the guests, but be prepared for these random pop ups and expect to feel the creepy vibes if you happen to catch sight of any of these spirits with their dead, soulless eyes.
Much light the Grand Ballroom of the Haunted Mansion, the audience area is the climax of the ride. Fallen beams, rotted wood, and cobwebs are everywhere, and there seems to be some seats occupied. Finally, the ghosts seem to notice the guests as they travel backstage, as the ghost audience turns in unisons to stare unblinkingly.
With a sigh of relief , guests make it backstage, but the creaking of hanging sandbags loom overhead. Suddenly, the overhead lighting starts to fall, stopping just short of the vehicles. The guests weave around each of the sand bags that fall to the ground, dodging certain death.
Finally, the guests catch up to the ghost light into one of the dressing rooms. The light transforms into a beautiful woman who turns to face the guests, smiling softly. She gestures to the side door and the exit. Waving serenely one last time, she transforms back into the ghost light and disappears.
The vehicles arrive at the back door and let the guests off to circle back around to next groups.
