JULIE ANDREWS
Good evening, this is Julie Andrews. Once upon a time, there was a Magic Kingdom made of hopes and childhood fantasies. A timeless place, where every land was filled with wonder. A place where everyone who entered its gates would be given the gift of the young at heart — the power to wish upon a star and unlock its magic. Are you ready to wish upon a star? Then it’s time to open your heart and remember… dreams come true.
CHILD SOLOIST
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight.
We’ll make a wish, and do as dreamers do.
CHORUS
Do as dreamers do.
CHILD SOLOIST
And all our wishes…
CHORUS
All our wishes…
CHILD SOLOIST
Will come true.
CHORUS
When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are!
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
JULIE ANDREWS
In 1955, a magical place was born, and in this marvelous kingdom, there lived many delightful friends who made our dreams come true. An enchanting place where storybook heroes and daring adventures waited around every corner.

If your heart is in your dreams…

I wish I could go to the ball!
