By WDWMAGIC Staff · Friday June 17, 2016 2:08pm EDT · "Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire"

The Magic Kingdom’s new castle show, “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” made its debut performance earlier today.

Along with the new show came the the first appearance at Walt Disney World of new-look Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The video below is from the very first performance.

In “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire,” Mickey and his troupe of Merry Makers have been preparing to host a joyous festival and have ventured far and wide to invite friends from other lands to join their celebration.

From the Land of the Bewitching Bayous, Goofy has invited Tiana, Naveen and Louis to add a little spice of New Orleans jazz to the party.

From the Land of the Enchanted Woods, Donald Duck brings some new friends he met at the Snuggly Duckling, and Daisy introduces us to her special guests, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.

Finally, Mickey shares a surprise with Minnie, as he has traveled to the Land of the Mystic Mountains to invite Olaf, Anna and Elsa, who contributes a blast of her icy magic.

It all culminates in a grand dance, as the Merry Makers invite all their special guests to join in the fun on this special day.

“Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” is performed daily, with show times typically 10:30am, 11:35am, 1:05pm, 2:05pm, 4:15pm, 5:15pm (check times guide for any changes).

We are 20 min away! Streaming Disney will be covering it. Along with many other I'm sure!
There is enough arguing about blame for the gator attack going on in the other thread. We don't need it here.
New Mickey and Minnie are in the show!

They look the same to me.

Also, photos indicate Louis is not in the show.

Great to hear but I also wonder why. They aren't using the new Mickey and Minnie for M&G's and parades yet, right? I mean, surely, no kid is really going to notice the difference but you'd think they premier the new looks for all versions of Mickey and Minnie at once.

I just haven't seen a good photo of Mickey in the show to tell if he has the new head.

The new eyes make them all look high.

I'm hoping they would. That would only make sense to me. In Shanghai Mickey/Minnie have different gloves but MRFF the gloves were the old ones. So Im interested to see how they'll handle the switch. Will they keep Minnie in her old M&G dress for now with the new face or completely switch her over. Time and photos will tell...
Louis will probably be back within a week or two as will Tic Tock (if it's true that he was taken out of the parade due to the incident) and if it takes longer than that, I don't see the big deal.
Well....I'm SOLD!!!!!! MK HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!! Yes, no Louis but I think they must of reworked the PATF segment because it doesn't look there's a big hole in there(Thank goodness!) Streaming Disney did say that Louis had lines in the show. Who knows if that's true or not

I know Facebook and Periscope doesn't have the best quality but i think i saw more lights on the Stage during Let It Go. and with the new pyro(more than what DAWM had), They really should do a couple performances at night! Hopefully Frozen Holiday Wish will stay and MRFF will work around that.
