5. Disney’s Philharmagic
This is a delightful show for which Guests wear their 3-D glasses and watch intently as Donald Duck tries to find his lost Sorcerer’s Apprentice hat, which belongs, of course, to Mickey and not to Donald at all. The screen on which it plays is one of the largest screens in the world. Thanks to the magic of 3-D and Disney, objects seem to float off the screen and hover in front of Guests, and odorizers give off scents of things seen on screen. The queue for this attraction is first a room in which the line curves around toward a second “holding room” where Guests receive their glasses and stand closely together in preparation for the doors to open so they can enter the theater and be seated for the feature. The queue is pretty bland, but it does include posters of Disney performers and their upcoming respective performances, even if they are not actually part of the Philharmagic show. And it’s wonderfully air-conditioned, so we’ll take that over a fancifully decorated queue. In those warm months, anyway.
