Disneyland Swings Big and Hits a Home Run with Walt Disney Animatronic
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – The Audio-Animatronic figure, years in development, features advanced lifelike movements and shares Walt Disney's personal stories in his own voice, marking a milestone in park technology.
- On July 17, 2025, Disneyland will open the new attraction "Walt Disney – A Magical Life," located near the front of the park inside the Opera House in Anaheim.
- The attraction's development began in 2018 and was delayed from an original May 16 opening to ensure quality advancements in Audio-Animatronics technology.
- The show includes a 15-minute film about Walt Disney's life followed by a two-minute appearance of a highly detailed animatronic figure from the 1963 era.
- Using original recordings stitched from Walt's voice without AI, the animatronic performs lifelike gestures, marking the first fully electric figure to complete a lean-to-stand motion.
- This attraction honors Disneyland's 70th anniversary and showcases technological progress, though some family members express concern about depicting Walt as a robotic figure.
