Disney Princess Fantasy Faire (Fantasyland).  Guests of all ages are able to join their favorite princesses for a royal gathering as Fantasyland Theatre is transformed into the enchanted world of “Disney Princess Fantasy Faire.”  Within its magical world, young “lords and ladies” are invited to create their own sparkling crowns, purchase and decorate their very own “castle cupcake,” enjoy meeting the Disney Princesses, and participate in princess and knighthood training.  

Jedi Training Academy (Tomorrowland).  Skilled Jedi Masters select young Padawans to train in the ways of the Force.  During this exciting and fast-paced live Star Wars experience, children are taught how to handle special “training” lightsabers . . . and then face the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader – every day at the Tomorrowland Terrace stage. These training sessions take place six times a day during “The Year of a Million Dreams.”

The Pirates Have Landed! (New Orleans Square).  The Paris of the western frontier comes alive with pirates!  Jack Sparrow and a band of buccaneers escape the Pirates of the Caribbean adventure and entertain and amuse guests, creating mayhem throughout New Orleans Square.  Guests with sea salt in their veins are recruited to take the Pirate Oath and learn the secret “high” sign, becoming an honorary pirate.  Along the way, guests may also encounter Captain Jack Sparrow himself, a roving band of rogues called The Bilge Rats or learn a chantey or two from the musical trio – The Bootstrappers. 

 “High School Musical” Pep Rally (Disney’s California Adventure park).  Nobody will be able to sit still when the “High School Musical” Pep Rally rocks Disney’s California Adventure park!  Guests catch Wildcat fever as the students of East High School crank up school spirit with their high-energy sing-along pep rally.  Guests learn fun cheers and cool dance moves from the hit Disney Channel movie musical and participate in a rocking finale of “We’re All in This Together.”
