I still think that the opening ceremonies they perform at the parks are a wonderful celebration. I got a little bit closer this time around, and there was even a different castmember to welcome us into the park.

I am continually amazed at the quality and performance level of the castmembers who put these shows on everyday of the year. They understand that it is always someone’s first time at the Magic Kingdom and these castmembers give it their all to make it a memorable event for the guests.

The other parks have their opening rituals as well, which we will broadcast as well, but the Magic Kingdom is by far the most elaborate of them all here at the Walt Disney World Resort.
