## Show Summary

### Act 1

The show hosted by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, as they take the audience on a journey to showcase the most powerful magic of all, imagination. The gang then imagines somewhere cold, leading into the Frozen segment.

The Frozen segment, narrated by Olaf recounts the time Arendelle faced an eternal winter and how an act of true love can save the day.

13 years of isolation have passed and finally, it's coronation day. The gates are finally ready to be opened up and everyone is excited for the castle to be open again, especially Princess Anna who hopes to find someone she loves. Elsa, still on the edge about her powers, allows for the gates to finally be opened. As the gates open, Prince Hans of the southern isles accidentally bumps into the Princess, and apologizes. The two then talk for a bit and celebrate their newfound love for each other.

The bells ring marking the start of the ceremony. Several flag bearers place the banners across the rink as the queen is set to be crowned. Anna and Elsa then reunite with each other, as Anna wishes for nights like this to happen more often, while Elsa disagrees. As Anna heads onto the dance floor, she bumps into Hans once again, as they waltz together. Anna then introduces Hans to Elsa and asks for her blessing. Elsa disapproves, and Anna tries to convince her otherwise but she doesn't budge. Anna proceeds to take Elsa's glove and she suddenly bursts out a bit of her magic.

We meet Kristoff once again with Sven, trying to sell ice in the middle of winter, complains about the problems of people and how he prefers reindeers. Anna views the dynamic duet, and recruits him to help find Elsa, As they set off on the journey, Anna asks Kristoff if something seemed magical on the north mountain. Meanwhile on the North Mountain, Elsa tries out a bit of her newly discovered powers and creates an ice palace out of nothing.

The quest continues as Anna, Kristoff, and Sven meet Olaf, a summer loving snowman who loves warm hugs. Kristoff tells Olaf about the situation as the snowman daydreams about living in summer with Kristoff trying to interject and tell him his fate with Anna intervening. Olaf leads the gang to Elsa's ice palace, and there Anna reunites with Elsa and apologizes for what happened at the party. Elsa tries to send Anna on her way, accidentally freezing her heart in the process. Kristoff rushes in to help Anna, and offers to get her back to the Kingdom of Arendelle . Anna returns and asks Hans for a kiss of true love, it is there than Hans finally reveals his true intentions as a villain. Olaf roasts Hans during his narration portion, and segues into the epic climax

In the storm, Kristoff rushes to Anna, while Hans conducts his plan to kill the Queen. As he lifts his sword, Anna swoops in and sacrifices herself for Elsa. The act of true love thawed the frozen heart not long after being frozen herself. Elsa finally realizes that love was right all along and will save the day. As the story comes to an end, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy come back out and decide to warm up a bit after the frozen adventure, and plan to imagine something warm when they come back.

### Act 2

The fab 4 help introduce the second act and encourage Donald to use his imagination, as he helps imagine up a warm and the Casa Madrigal.

Abuela is introduced to audiences as she tells the audience about the magical candle that gave them a miracle, an Encanto, and brought Casita to life. After, Mirabel enters trying her best to help the family by introducing them one by one. When the kids ask about Mirabel's gift, Mirabel avoids conversation about that, until Dolores brings up that she didn't get a gift. While Mirabel tries to deny the fact that not having a gift isn't bad, Abuela invites the entire family to take a family picture, while Mirabel laments on not having a gift and waits on a miracle.

After the song, Mirabel starts to see one of the tiles fall off, and tries to warn the rest of the family. But then explains to the audience that when she led them to the cracks, they were gone. Mirabel also tells the audience how Abuela was talking to a picture of Abuelo about how the miracle needs to be saved, as Mirabel planned. First she needed to talk to Dolores about the issue, and she states that she needs to go to Luisa for help.

Luisa, helping out the village with her strength is visited by Mirabel who tries to get the answer out of Luisa, who reveals the pressures of being the strong one. Luisa eventually reveals that when the cracks were first seen by Mirabel, she felt.....weak. She advises her to check Bruno's tower. Mirabel explains to the audience then about how she had to climb all those stairs, and found pieces of Bruno's vision, and knows exactly who to ask.

Abuela asks Pepa for clear skies, which pressures her to cause a thunderstorm, Mirabel then enters trying to interrogate her about Bruno. While Pepa refuses to speak on the subject matter, Félix chimes in on how nightmarish it was, Dolores chimed in on how she could hear Bruno in the walls of Casita, the villagers complain about many of Bruno's prophecies along with Isabella and Dolores as well.

Now finding Bruno, Mirabel tries to convince him to have another vision, which he refuses at first but manages to try again. The vision shows that Mirabel's fate is still undecided, but in order to save the miracle she has to hug Isabella. She doesn't want to at first and yells at Isabella for being selfish, while she tries to make Mirabel understand that she has been stuck being perfect for her entire life. Mirabel tries to get her to hug, but Isabella is confound at the cactus she created and is curious what else she can do, bonding with Mirabel in the process. Abuela tries to reason with Mirabel with her about what's been going on for the past few days. Mirabel confronts her about the pressure she put on the family with the Casita crumbling in the background.
