How is the experience organized
No less than 1,000 square metres are devoted entirely to the 'Wonder of Friendship: The Experience', with installations and immersive experiences. Everything is divided into four themed areas dedicated to the most famous characters from the Disney world: "Alice in Wonderland", "The Lion King", "Mickey Mouse" and his friends and "Lilo & Stitch".

Augmented reality also enhances the experience
An even more immersive experience will be possible thanks to Snapchat's augmented reality, thanks to which all visitors will be able to bring Disney stories to life by scanning the QR codes in each area.

Movements will be tracked
Upon entering the area, tourists will immediately see themselves immersed in a realm full of magic. In the meantime, an 'RFID stick' will track their movements within the facility: by doing so, at the end of the experience, the stick will show which Disney friendships the groups of participants represent, who will also receive a special Disney 'Wonder of Friendship' print as a gift.

Alice in Wonderland
The first stage of the journey is the underworld of the Garden of Mystery, clearly inspired by the world of 'Alice in Wonderland': tourists will go on the trail of the incredible path. To complete the route, visitors will have to trust their friends as they enter among tall flowers, pan-farflies, palm trees and Queen's Soldier Cards, all immersed in a mist that gives the place a dreamlike appearance.

The Lion King
The Orchestral Oasis area is dedicated to 'The Lion King'. Visitors will have the opportunity to enter the world of the best-loved characters from the Disney classic, such as Simba, Timon and Pumba. The experience will be made truly immersive thanks to a jungle-inspired atmosphere with graphic reproductions of insects and butterflies. All accompanied with the notes of Hakuna Matata playing in the background.

Mickey Mouse
The area dedicated to 'Mickey Mouse' and all their friends is called 'Mickey & Friends Wonderverse'. Here, visitors can encounter life-size statues of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto. The instant visitors try to interact with the characters, motion sensors are activated that create live art animations on the giant LED screens in the room: the stronger the interaction, the brighter and bigger the animations, again emphasising the importance of being together.

Lilo & Stitch
Ohnana Bay is the realm of the 'Lilo & Stitch' couple, with relaxing and magical Caribbean sounds, scents and atmosphere. A real dive into island life, jumping on surfboards, visiting the beach and strolling through Lilo's memories.
