Momentous

“Momentous” is set over the span of six chapters, with about 150 Disney characters from close to 40 various Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios stories through different special stages in life. Starting with those precious first moments, to encompassing life’s greatest experiences, achievements, and difficulties. Through it all, guests are reminded to treasure those with whom they share the journey of life, and all the adventures along the way.

Six Chapters of Momentous

Chapter 1– Time Begins

With a soaring overture, the Castle transforms into a beautiful, ornate timepiece. Its magic-infused fountains embody the ever-flowing “Waters of Time,” revealing meaningful moments from the beloved Disney animated films. As the sun rises on the first chapter “Time Begins,” guests witness tender moments of new beginnings with beloved Disney and Pixar characters and celebrate the joyful innocence of tiny infants. The scene will feature Kala holding Tarzan celebrating the birth of life, baby Dumbo swinging in his mother’s long trunk feeling safe and loved, and toddler Riley from Inside Out learning how to walk. Each fleeting moment reminds us of our own beginnings and the preciousness of children in our lives.

Chapter 2 – Time of your Life

As the sun continues to rise, guests move into childhood with the “Time of Your Life.” Here, in a child’s mind, time is non-existent – only play, fun, and friendship matter. Disney characters brim with youthful joy as they celebrate this carefree stage of life, with plenty of toys, color, and laugh-filled moments. Watch Wendy and Peter Pan frolic through Never Land, Anna and Elsa build a snowman in Arendelle, and little Simba revel in youthful naivete before learning to be a king in the Pride Lands.

Chapter 3 – Time for Change

As the sun rises high in the sky, guests see Disney characters grow from children to young adults. They take their first steps on a bigger journey, leaving what they know behind, to find who they are meant to be. “Time for Change” celebrates the turning points in guests’ lives, reminding them of moments in their own journeys where they took a leap of faith to “Try Everything.” These acts of self-discovery set them on new paths and ultimately change their lives. In this scene, guests will live the moment with Moana as she sails across the ocean to find herself, struggle with Judy Hoppsin Zootopia as she tries to excel in every way possible, and witness Hercules discovering his power and finding his roots.

Chapter 4 – Time Stands Still

Romance is in the air as the sun sets to twilight and guests watch Disney characters fall in love, in “Time Stands Still.” Remembering how special a first love is, as Jasmine and Aladdin ride a magic carpet through the starry night sky, Eric and Ariel almost share their first kiss on a little boat in a lagoon (with Sebastian’s help!), and Rapunzel dives into love under the glow of a thousand floating lanterns. From shy flirtations to soaring romance, guests are reminded that love, in itself, is a journey.

Chapter 5 –Test of Time

Just when everything seems calm and steady, life throws challenges and obstacles into guests’ paths and they must face the “Test of Time.” Disney characters are tempted and pressured by villains to change their course and give up on their dreams. Dr. Facilier lures us into the shadows with sinister charm, Scar uses his sharp claws to take over the Pride Lands, and the Evil Queen tempts Snow White with her signature poison apple. But in the darkest moments, Disney characters commit acts of heroism to save the day, bring back order, and allow them to make their dreams come true. Stepping out of the darkness and into the light, Disney characters embrace their true destiny. In this triumphant moment, guests are reminded that they too, have the power within themselves to take control and change their fate, to stand up against evil and fight for good, and to find true love and never let it go.

Chapter 6 – Time to Remember

Through all the ups and downs, with different people guiding us on the right path, there are always those who inspire us along the way. The “Time to Remember” scene is a stirring, emotional moment for the audience to reflect on their own mentors and guides as guests watch the Disney characters’ stories. Just as Miguel is inspired by his great-great-grandfather, Hector and Russell and Carl offer life-changing support to each other in “Up,” guests all have special people in their lives who look out for them and empower them on life’s journey.

Finale – Live the Moment, Love the Memory

With guests’ journey almost complete, they transition into a brilliant finale: a celebration of all the moments that define Disney characters’ lives. Filled with inspiration, we see characters empowered to live a life full of adventure, love, and friendship. The music and lyrics poignantly capture the journey guests have experienced and the moments they have shared, delivering an inspirational encouragement to “Live the Moment… Love the Memory.” Life is the sum of all its many moments, each momentous experience living in their hearts and shaping them into who they are meant to be.

As soon as time begins
The magic’s never ending
Filled with innocence
And memories worth remembering
Every day’s a different page
A story to unfold
We’re young and then we grow
Time’s always moving, we can’t slow the hands
Won’t last forever, but we won’t forget
Falling in love or our very first step
Just live the moment and love the memory
Times that we climb and the times we descend
Times that we build and the times that we bend
Time is the treasure we all get to spend
Just live the moment and love the memory, love the memory
And through the trials we face
The races that we’re running
We always keep the faith in who we are becoming

Every day’s a different page
A story to unfold Remember, young and old
Time’s always moving, we can’t slow the hands
Won’t last forever, but we won’t forget
in love or our very first step
Just live the moment and love the memory
Times that we climb and the times we descend
Times that we build and the times that we bend
Time is the treasure we all get to spend
Just live the moment and love the memory

Take in the moment Look all around this is your life
Make every minute count in time
Time’s always moving we can’t slow the hands
Won’t last forever but we won’t forget
Falling in love or our very first step
Just live the moment and love the memory
Time’s always moving, we can’t slow the hands
Won’t last forever, so take every chance
To learn and to love and to dream and to dance
Just live the moment and love the memory Love the memory
