If you're missing Disney Parks or just want to know more about them, check out these shows on Disney+.
The release of Disney's streaming service, Disney+, has brought a wealth of new shows for Disney fans to watch. Some of the most intriguing content are the shows that center around life inside the Disney corporation, the creativity of the Disney Imagineers, and of course the Disney Parks.
With Walt Disney World and Disneyland at the audience's fingertips, there are great shows on Disney+ for fans that are missing Rope drop in the parks, the creative queues of beloved rides, and the sound of lion's roaring in the wee hours of the morning.
10 The Magic of Disney's Animal Kingdom
This show is an illuminating look at the behind-the-scenes adventures within Disney's Animal Kingdom. From vet visits, safari updates, and endangered animal matchmaking, this show is a wonderfully lively look at Walt Disney World's iconic Animal Kingdom.
9 The Imagineering Story
The magic of Disney would not be what it is today without the Imagineers as both the creative and functional driving force behind the spectacular construction of both Disney parks. This show tells the story behind the brilliant minds that brought Walt Disney's imagination to life.
This is truly a great watch for those that marvel at the story of the Disney Corporation and the revolutionary moves by the Imagineers of Disney Parks. After all, Disney's Haunted Mansion would not be as iconic as it is without the imagination of the Imagineers throughout the decades.
8 One Day At Disney
There's the old saying that "it takes a village" to raise a child, and this is most definitely the case for the Disney corporation. There are so many facets and departments within Disney, and this show draws attention to the great collaborative effort behind working at Disney and this includes construction on Galaxy's Edge.
For those that love shows that are structured like "a day in the life of..." One Day at Disney is the perfect show to stream on Disney+.
7 Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic
Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic is hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. This show is a backstage pass that illuminates the magic and merriness of the Disney parks in the holiday season. Whether it is redecorating Cinderella Castle, constructing the iconic gingerbread house in The Grand Floridian, or Disney performers rehearsing their seasonal dances for the parades and cavalcades, this show is the perfect combination of holiday magic and Disney magic.
If viewers are missing Walt Disney World and also dreaming about Christmas in July, Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic is the perfect show to get someone in the holiday spirit.
6 One Day At Disney Shorts
A spinoff from One Day At Disney, this show is compiled of shorts centered around showing the experiences of artists, Imagineers, zookeepers, performers, animators, and so many other skilled workers within the realm of Disney. The interviews show the people and personalities behind the magic of Disney.
This is the perfect show for someone who is missing the Disney parks but only has a few moments at a time to reacquaint with the follies of the Disney parks.
5 Disney Fairytale Weddings
This show illuminated a different side to the Disney parks. It is where movie magic and wedding magic meet, and together they are the perfect union for the brides that always dreamed of being their own version of a Disney princess.
This decadent show is a guilty pleasure for viewers who have fantasized about their wedding days and having Walt Disney World to themselves, if only for the duration of the ceremony. Some brides make their grand entrance like Cinderella: via a horse-drawn carriage right up to Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom. Others have a whimsical tea party theme in the gardens of EPCOT.
4 Disney Parks Sunrise Series
Disney Parks Sunrise Series focuses on the morning delights and rituals of Disney Parks. There is a common notion that when a person visits the Disney Parks, they don't typically get the change to stop and smell the roses -- or watch the sunrise for that matter. Instead, they might be wrangling their little ones, fueling up with breakfast before heading off to ride Peter Pan's Flight, or racing toward "Rope Drop" to ride the latest attraction before the wait gets to be too long. This show illuminates the natural beauty of mornings in the Disney Parks right on your streaming service screen. That way, Disney Parks enthusiasts can build anticipation for their next trip and enjoy the experience of a morning in the parks.
This show premiered in 2020 and only has one season.
3 Disney Insider
This show is perhaps one of the best shows to watch if viewers are wanting an intense look at the behind-the-scenes adventures in the Disney parks (including Walt Disney World and Disneyland), the craze of Disney merch, and the video game enterprise Disney has stepped into.
The wide berth of this series on Disney+ is also hosted by Katy Perry, which is an interesting mashup.
2 Disneyland Around The Seasons
Much like the show's title states, Disneyland Around the Seasons is a delightful series centered around the premiere Disney park, Disneyland, and it cycles through each of the four seasons from 1961 through 1969. While the actual time period footage of this show is surreal to watch, there are aspects that do not keep with the message of Disneyland.
It is important to note that there are some inaccurate and harmful portrayals of cultures in this series, and Disney+ notes that at the start of the show.
1 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: Adventure Awaits
This so was a one-off promotional release that was geared toward building anticipation toward the opening of Disney World's latest land: Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
This show is a must-watch for Star Wars enthusiasts who can't wait for their next ride on Rise of the Resistance, or maybe even Smugglers' Run.
