Cast Members “Rock” their Creativity to Deliver 24 Hours of Disney Magic
Pulling off a rockin’ 24 hours at a Disney theme park took countless hours, creativity and collaboration from Cast Members who delivered an all-nighter of magic and fun for guests.
To kick off summer travel season during Memorial Day weekend, Disney Parks created a bi-coastal, spectacular celebration with theme parks in Florida and California remaining open for 24 hours.
Teams in entertainment, food and beverage, special events and merchandise developed a smorgasbord of unique experiences for the occasion. Featuring a star-studded lineup of Disney heroes and villains, specialty offerings included an exclusive Maleficent cupcake, meet and greet opportunities for rarely spotted characters and a Disney villains takeover of the ever-popular “Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!” Street Party.
“The summer kickoff is one of the highlights of the year,” said Christina Frommling, who is the Disney pastry chef behind the Maleficent cupcake. “As Cast Members, it is exciting to dream up these ideas and then make these special offerings and magical moments come to life exclusively for 24 hours.”

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster Officially Opens at Walt Disney World Resort, Completing New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, a playful and musical family-style coaster that immerses guests in the timeless story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, officially opened at Magic Kingdom today in time to greet summer guests to Walt Disney World Resort.
Joined by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida and Orlando Magic players Victor Oladipo and Tobias Harris, Magic Kingdom vice president Phil Holmes welcomed park guests as the first riders to experience the newest attraction at Walt Disney World Resort.
As the crowning jewel of New Fantasyland – the largest expansion in the history of Magic Kingdom – the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a rocking, rollicking coaster that immerses guests in the lovable world of Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sneezy, Happy and Dopey. Inspired by the classic Disney animated film classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the attraction sends riders on a playful musical adventure into the mine “where a million diamonds shine.”
Featuring an innovative, first-of-its-kind ride system, guests boarding the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train pivot back and forth during twists, turns, hills and drops. Guests are transported through magical mountain scenery and a glowing mine with scenes of the Dwarfs and frolicking forest creatures.
Music from the film classic accompanies the journey. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train features spectacular Audio-Animatronics – with cars slowing down so guests can spot favorite characters making an appearance in different scenes.
At ride’s end, the cottage of the Dwarfs, replicated from the film to exacting detail by Walt Disney Imagineers, comes into view with a dancing Snow White visible through a window.
Guests can reserve access to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with FastPass+ in advance of their visit to Walt Disney World Resort using MyDisneyExperience.com a component of MyMagic+.
