Galaxy Palace Theater

The Galaxy Palace Theater was an outdoor amphitheater in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom in the Walt Disney World Resort. 
==Background==
The theater opened on December 15, 1994 as part of the New Tomorrowland renovation, replacing the original Tomorrowland Stage that had been there since 1980. It had a capacity of about 1,000 guests and featured a futuristic design with a rocket-shaped tower and a large video screen. The theater hosted various musical and character shows, such as Galaxy Search, a talent show featuring Disney characters, and Mickey's Twas the Night Before Christmas, a holiday-themed show with Mickey Mouse and his friends. It was also used for Disney Magic Music Days, a program that invited school and community groups to perform at the park. The theater closed permanently on January 4, 2009 and was demolished shortly after. 
The site was converted into a backstage parking area and a meet and greet location for Stitch, the alien character from the Lio & Stitch franchise. The closure of the theater was part of a series of changes in Tomorrowland that included the removal of the Skyway, the Timekeeper, and the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attractions. It was one of the few outdoor amphitheaters in Walt Disney World, along with the Theater of the Stars at Disney's Hollywood Studios and the America Gardens Theater at Epcot. The theater was also one of the few venues in Magic Kingdom that offered live entertainment, besides the Castle Forecourt Stage and the Main Street, U.S.A. area. It was a popular spot for guests who wanted to enjoy a show while resting from the attractions or the heat.
