Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom Park in the near future will be able to enjoy new entertainment around Tomorrowland.
Later this spring, Guests can journey over to the Rockettower Plaza Stage (which is found between Space Mountain and Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress) and join in an intergalactic dance party. The DJ will be spinning fresh tunes and making sure this party is out-of-this-world! To make way for “Cosmic Dance Party,” the INCREDIBLES Super Dance Party will close on Monday, May 1.

While the INCREDIBLES Super Dance Party will no longer be available starting May 1, Guests will be able to meet Mr. Incredible at a temporary greeting location in Tomorrowland, May 1-18, 2017.

Additionally, a new, interactive robot character is surprising and entertaining Guests near the Rockettower Plaza Stage. Showbot, a robot from another Galaxy, is fascinated by Earth and Earthlings and want to learn all he can about us and our culture (please, note that some are reporting that the test involving this new character may already be over, but we will keep you updated).
