Disney assigned the "Let the Magic Begin" title to this show in January 2017 when it moved to the Castle Forecourt Stage from the Main Street Train Station. Prior to that, it was simply known as the Magic Kingdom Welcome Show and featured lip-syncing and dancing Citizens of Main Street, along with a multitude of Disney characters that arrived by train.
