Disney's Natsu Matsuri is a Japanese-style summer festival with the Disney touch.
The main venue for Disney's Natsu Matsuri is the plaza in front of Cinderella Castle. Here the Disney friends will turn up the sizzle with a lively dance contest called "Soryo Kobu".
The Disney friends lead eight different dance teams, showing off their moves to hip hop, Latin and pop music, all with an added Japanese element. As the contest heats up, huge columns of water shoot up from around Cinderella Castle, soaking everyone as the Guests join in the dancing.
At night, it's the final competition between the four winning teams from the preliminary rounds. The stage lights up with color, and the excitement swells with more music, dancing, spraying water, and blazes of fire-an exhilarating summer bash for all.
