The “Most Magical Place on Earth” has been partying all year long with dazzling nighttime spectacles, Mickey celebrations, merchandise, and plenty more.

And one of the most fun aspects of Disney is the symbiotic relationship between the theme parks and he movies, with numerous Disney movies based on rides released over the years.
