In the present, Mark and his brothers are finishing with *the Lion King* and prepares to go to bed. While they are sleeping, they are magically teleported to Dreamcoast, a magical realm inhabited with Disney characters who are referred to as Dreamcoastians. The brothers are greeted by the kingdom’s rulers, Davis and his wife, Sammie. It is told by Davis, that Mark has been chosen by the Dreamcoastian magic to protect the realm from an incoming threat and is set to take the throne as king of Dreamcoast. Not only is Mark and his brothers are made members of royalty, Davis welcomes them into the castle with the other residents who are Tinker Bell and the kingdom’s princess, Annabelle whom Mark is excited to meet as he’s hoping of meeting and starting a relationship with. Once sunrise came, Davis orders characters from *Tarzan, Dumbo* and *Hercules* to give the brothers tours of their lands. As soon as the brothers leave the castle, a mysterious thunderstorm approaches the kingdom.

Three days later, when the brothers return, they discover that the kingdom has become plagued with bloodthirsty monsters which forces Dreamcoastians to hide in their homes as they believed that leaving the kingdom will result in their deaths. Mark learns from one of the Disney Princesses that Davis’ evil brother, Tank has cursed the kingdom. He also learns that Davis and Sammie haven’t left the castle in three days. With Adam, Belle, Jasmine, Aladdin, Rapunzel and Flynn tagging along, they learn that Davis and Sammie have been trapped in cursed frame, not before finding the princess’ sidekicks locked in the closet. Seeing that Dreamcoast is in danger, Mark uses his position of authority to evacuate the kingdom to an abandoned village until Tank is banished from the realm forever. All is to know about Tank is that he arrived in Dreamcoast after Davis. Wanting a purpose in life, he immediately sought to rule Dreamcoast only to discover that his brother was crowned king and refuses to abdicate the throne. He then challenges Davis to a battle with the trophy being Davis’ crown and his banishment. Fortunately, Davis wins and keeps the crown. However, Tank who has fallen into a jealous insanity attempts to murder his brother only to be stabbed to death in self-defense. Although, he was gone from the realm, Davis feared that Tank would return from the dead to wreak his horrible vengeance by attacking his family and subjects. In order to protect them, he had the royal council use their powers to choose a Dream spirit from the mortal world who will protect the kingdom from future destruction.

The mention of Davis’ daughter reminds Mark that Annabelle is still out there in the kingdom and could’ve been kidnapped by her uncle. Mark rallies Adam, Belle, Jasmine, Aladdin, Flynn, Rapunzel, Pascal, Maximus, Rajah, Abu, Tinker Bell, Simba and his family to assist him with freeing the kingdom. Before leaving Flora conjures up a magic wand for Mark to battle against Tank's evil magic.

On the way through the deserted capital, Mark and the gang hears some commotion in city hall and decides to go in there to investigate. Inside, they meet Tank who appears to a dragon which makes Mark wonder how a dragon and a Dreamcoastian human can be related to each other. He tells the Dream spirit that the first part of his revenge was to annihilate his brother and his family. His next target is his niece, Annabelle. Before vanishing into thin air, he gives the Dream spirit and his friends a riddle. "A place where there was nothing but misery and hopelessness. The only place that had hope was outside." Mark struggles to figure out Tank's riddle. While traveling through the deserted capital, the gang encounters a petrified Jaq and Gus. By using the wand's magic, Jaq and Gus returned to their normal forms. They tell Mark that Cinderella was somehow taken from the kingdom by one of Tank's henchmen. Just then, Belle and Adam solve Tank's riddle and learn that Annabelle is hiding out at Cinderella's chateau. Upon reaching the chateau, they don't see Annabelle. Mark deduces that she's hiding under the fountain. He uses the wand to open a secret staircase leading to a secret room where Annabelle and Cinderella are hiding.

Before they could be rescued, Tank's pet lizard, Scales appears and attacks Mark and the gang. During the battle, Mark and Tinker Bell are swallowed by Scales. Inside Scales reveals gears and mechanical wiring showing that Scales is a robot. Mark spots a powercore which is what keeps Scales alive. With help from Tink's pixie dust, Mark removes the powercore, killing Scales. Cinderella is rescued and reunited with Prince Henry and Annabelle meets Mark for the first time. Back in the abandoned village, Mark learns from Djali that one of Tank's goons used a mechanical bomb to freeze time allowing him to kidnap Cinderella without being noticed. By examining the bomb, he sees that the bomb was from a shop in Tomorrowland. Before taking a sky tram up to the city, the gang stops at a clothing store to change from their traditional clothing into casual clothing as they've grown tired of wearing it.

Once they were done, they took the sky tram up to Tomorrowland where they found where the time bomb originated from. A shop known as the Time Zone which is ran by brothers Jimmy and DJ. Jimmy allows the gang to look around in his store for anything that may tell them something about Tank. In the basement, they gang learns that when Tank arrived in Dreamcoast, Darwin welcomed him into his observatory and worked as his assistant and close friend. However, an incident resulted in their friendship being destroyed. The gang deduced that Darwin could be in danger prompting them to make way for the observatory. Unfortunately, they are confronted by DJ, Jimmy's brother who has become one of Tank's slaves. Trapped inside the shop, Mark orders Tinker Bell to fly back to the village and bring her friend Vidia to cast a spell on DJ. During Tink's absence, Blaster and Juarez, characters originating from the Disney live-action film, *G-Force* enter the shop and defends Mark and the gang from DJ's blasting. Tinker Bell returns with Vidia and by using her fast-flying abilities, she creates a tornado of sleeping dust which puts DJ in an enchanted sleep. Vidia uses her pixie dust to take DJ back to the village while the gang continues with their adventure.

The gang headed to the observatory where they find its owner, Darwin trapped on the ceiling by his creation Cujo who was corrupted by one of Tank's inventions. Despite a struggle, the gang manages to restore Cujo to his original personality before he could commit further violence. Darwin then tags along with the gang on their journey. Needing to know what Tank's exact plans, the gang heads to Adam's castle where records of the Dream Realm are located. In the secret library, the gang learns that before Walt Disney passed away, he passed down magical crystals to Mickey Mouse and Friends which controls the magic that surrounds Dreamcoast and protects the characters from dying of modern illnesses. If the crystals are destroyed, the Dreamcoastians would die and Tank would be able to recreate the kingdom in his own image. Also, Mark learns that Davis wasn't born a human but a dragon named Elliott from the 1977 film, *Pete's Dragon,* which explains how Tank and Davis are related. Now fully understanding Tank's plans, the gang plans to return to the village to find Mickey and his friends. Suddenly, an earthquake arrives at the castle causing the library to crumble. The floor cracks causing Mark to fall to his presumed death, much to the shock and horror of Annabelle and the others.

In a volcanic lair, Mark is encountered by Tank who tries to manipulate into joining him claiming that they are the same. Mark refuses to give him claiming that he and Tank *aren't* the same. Meanwhile back in the village, Annabelle informs the citizens of Mark's presumed death leading Jordan to tell Annabelle and the characters about Mark's scarring backstory. Wanting to help his people, *One Hundred and One Dalmatians* character, Lucky activates a security camera in the volcano. They see that Mark has survived the earthquake but is unable to communicate with him. In the volcano, Mark orders Tank to leave Dreamcoast and lift the curse that he has placed on the realm. Tank refuses and that if Mark tries to attack him, he'll kill Mickey and his friends whom he kidnapped before cursing Dreamcoast. Having no other choice, Mark makes a deal with Tank. Tank will use his magic to turn Mark into a dragon and they will battle each other. If Mark succeeds in defeating Tank, the dragon will leave the realm forever but if Tank succeeds in defeating Mark, the Dream spirit will be bound to the dragon for an eternity. Tank accepts the deal and by shaking Mark's hand, the deal is in motion.

Mark initially has trouble with fighting Tank which led a desperate Annabelle to hook up a microphone to the security camera so she can communicate with him. When the microphone was hooked up, Annabelle uses it to confess her romantic feelings for Mark. Upon hearing Annabelle professing her love for him, Mark fully embraces his dragon abilities and battles Tank. During the final battle, Mark frees Mickey Mouse and Friends and lets them escape not before giving the Dream spirit, a laser gun. When Tank confronts Mark for final time, Mark uses the laser gun to destroy a pillar causing it to fall on Tank, killing him and for his corpse to fall into the volcano, thus lifting the curse, destroying the monsters, freeing the cursed Dreamcoastians from Tank's enslavement, including Davis and Sammie. With Tank dead, his magic dies causing Mark to return to his human form and for Tank's lair to crumble. Just as Mark is about to accept his incoming death, two flying Dreamcoastians rescue him revealing to be Hurley and Mufasa, characters who went missing years ago.

Mark returns to the kingdom where Hurley and Mufasa reunite their respective families while Mark and Annabelle share their first kiss. Four years later, Mark and Annabelle are married and after the wedding, Mark is crowned the new king of Dreamcoast with Annabelle as his queen. A dance party is held in the castle's courtyard until it is moved into the castle so Mark and Annabelle can share a romantic waltz together, fully embracing their newfound status as a husband and wife.
