Make sure you arrive on time to see Mei from Disney•Pixar's Turning Red before the show, as her along with some of the cast of the show sing along to some of 4★Town and warm the audience up.

Pre-show
Before the show starts, two hosts come out and commentate on the red-carpet festivities, and invite the audience to guess some of their favorite Disney Movies including Snow White, Encanto, Toy Story, Pinocchio, etc. Mei (in her red panda form) walks in thinking this is the way to the 4-Town concert, which was apparently rescheduled, but the hosts invite Mei to help the skaters warm up.

Act 1
As the cast leaves, the lights dim as the show begins. An announcer (Kristen Bell) begins to welcome the audience to The Golden Mickeys and list all the nominees, as they introduce our host for the evening...Mickey Mouse! Mickey is hosting a special awards show dedicated to the art of Disney Animation and invites all of his friends to help. Goofy and Pluto are the behind-the-scenes camera crew as they try to broadcast the entire night, Pooh and Tigger are the top hat doormen welcoming the showgoers, making sure the all-star line-up is complete, and Minnie and Daisy are part of the parking valet team as they help everyone get parked. Mickey realizes that he didn't offer Donald a job and feels worried since Donald has wanted to help with the show, so Mickey gives him the most important job.........opening the envelope and announcing the winner for "Best Picture". There is another catch, the envelope is missing......in an event that would happen Mickey and Minnie buy some time, that way Donald, Daisy, Pooh, and Tigger do their best to retrieve it.

Mickey reminds Pooh and Tigger to check backstage to see if the cast from the first number is all set before they can take Donald and Daisy on a trip to help the duck control his temper.

To commence the ceremony, Mickey and Minnie tell the audience the story of our first nominee and the very first animated feature of all time: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, whisking everyone into the story. The seven dwarfs show up singing "Heigh Ho" on their way back to home as they notice a stranger in their house...Snow White, who becomes no stranger to them thanks to her kindness. The dwarfs agree to let her stay and hide her from the wicked Evil Queen, as they celebrate. On their way back to work, Snow White encounters the Witch (the Queen in disguise), and falls for the wishing apple, poisoning her in the process. The only way to break the curse is of a kiss of true love, which Prince Florian does, as he reunites with Snow White. Joining them in the romantic celebration are some of Disney's most famous couples including Cinderella and Prince Charming, Ariel and Eric, Belle and Adam, Aladdin (in his street clothes) and Jasmine, Mulan and Li Shang, Tiana and Naveen, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.

Meanwhile, Donald and Daisy, Pooh and Tigger feel worried about the envelope. They try to look through the stage but fail to do so. Donald feels hopeless, but the Blue Fairy arrives and reassures the four that everything will end up all right in the long run. As the foursome leaves, she signals her good friend Jiminy Cricket to help set the mood for our next nominee: Pinocchio. The Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life, appointing him to make Geppetto's wish come true by proving himself to be brave, trustworthy, and unselfish and employs Jiminy as his conscience.

Mickey and Minnie try to introduce the next nominee but are interrupted by the White Rabbit, who seems to be late for something. Now joined by Alice, Mad Hatter, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, they take the presentation into their own hands leading into a rousing un-birthday celebration as some volunteers are selected to ride a Mad Tea Party teacup.

After a brief interruption, Mickey and Minnie introduce the next nominee: Peter Pan as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee who seem to be running away from something...the Tick Tock Croc. Mickey reassures Hook that the crocodile is far away and is relieved. As the pirates and mice leave, Tinkerbell enters and lets Peter know that she found his shadow. Wendy notices the young boy from Neverland has found his shadow, as he tells Wendy all about Neverland ("The Second Star to the Right"). Peter then teaches Wendy and the lost boys how to fly as venture off to Neverland.

In the jungle, Donald, Daisy, Pooh, and Tigger continue to find the envelope which seems to be found at a nearby temple. The temple appears to be the ruins of an ancient civilization. Donald remembers this is the ancient ruins where The Jungle Book takes place. It's a story where Mowgli wants to live in the jungle. There he meets a bear named Baloo who teaches him about the Bare Necessities, and King Louie who yearns to find the secret to man's red flower. Mowgli notices a beautiful girl named Shanti who sings about her own home, now smitten he is invited by her to come to the Man Village, but never forgets the friendship with "Friends For Life" from its TV spinoff, TaleSpin. Now joined by the rest of the jungle (at least in this show) they celebrate a friendship that never ends. Baloo and his clan dance off as he sings "I'm Gone" (also from TaleSpin), saying goodbye to the foursome.

Act 2
Mickey and Minnie welcome the audience back, as a surge starts to blow throughout the awards venue. Goofy tries to repair the technical damage with the Goof-o-matic instant machine repair method making things a little bit worse. Mickey wonders how Donald is doing and gives him a call.

Back in the jungle, Donald, Daisy, Pooh, and Tigger are still on the search for the envelope. Tigger accompanies the gang to the savannah with "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" to cheer up Donald. Soon after, they notice Rafiki is about to tell the story of The Lion King and quickly find a place to watch. Young Simba dreams to be king and claiming he can do anything he wants, as Rafiki tries to talk some sense into the youngster. Timon and Pumbaa enter the scene and teach him how to enjoy life. Reuniting with his childhood friend, they find out love is in the air.

Back at the awards show, there's not much technical difficulties as it has been repaired. Goofy then finds a toybox and talks to Mickey about what could possibly be inside....as they leave Sarge pops up and summons his army of green soldiers to retrieve a mysterious present from downstairs. Sarge then gets the toys to assemble for a staff meeting, among them are Bo Peep, Rex, Hamm, and of course Sheriff Woody. Woody goes over the things in the agenda, including choosing a moving buddy, Tuesday's Plastic Corrosion Awareness meeting, and of course, the birthday party being moved to today. Woody assures the toys that no one is getting replaced, as the present gets opened to reveal Buzz Lightyear. Jealous of the new toy, Buzz reassures him that you've got a friend in him, later joined by Jessie reuniting with Woody.

Donald, Daisy, Pooh, and Tigger find their way back to the awards show, exploring the world of Encanto. Mirabel laments on not having a gift and waits on a miracle. After the song, Mirabel starts to see one of the tiles fall off and tries to warn the rest of the family. But then explains to the audience that when she led them to the cracks, they were gone. Mirabel also tells the audience how Abuela was talking to a picture of Abuelo about how the miracle needs to be saved, as Mirabel planned. First, she needs to talk to Dolores about the issue, and she states that she needs to go to Luisa for help. Luisa tells Mirabel to go look in Bruno's tower, and she needs to find out more about Bruno by asking Pepa. Mirabel then enters trying to interrogate her about Bruno. While Pepa refuses to speak on the subject matter, Félix chimes in on how nightmarish it was, Dolores chimed in on how she could hear Bruno in the walls of Casita, the villagers complain about many of Bruno's prophecies along with Isabella and Dolores as well. Now finding Bruno, she finds out that she needs to hug Isabella, and finds out that she is forced to be perfect all her life. Abuela confused on what's going on, is confronted by Mirabel and realizes she's that the miracle is not a gift, but actually the family.

Mickey, Goofy, and Minnie present the final number in the show, Wish, where Asha makes a wish to help the environment while getting rid of King Magnifico.

Once that's done, Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, and Minnie, appear on the podium to congratulate Asha and discuss how magical the era was. Mickey then suggests Asha to sing a reprise of "This Wish" as the other characters from the previous stories show up to join in. Finally, the ducks and the stuffed animals return just in time with the envelope they have retrieved.

When it is about time to announce the winner, Mickey returns to let Donald know that there was no envelope OR a winner, because each story is unique in their own way. Mickey does tell Donald to open the envelope anyway. Turns out it was a surprise award "The Best Friend in the Whole Wide World Award" planned by Mickey and his friends as a little thank you for all he's done. In addition, Pooh decides to offer Donald a large pot of honey for everyone to share, and Tigger plans out a silly ending by encouraging the gang (including the audience) to do the "Whoop-de-Dooper Bounce". Now joined by most of the cast, the awards celebration concludes with a big finale celebrating the power of stories.
