The magic of Disney nostalgia was overflowing throughout the Hollywood Bowl last night. In the concert event, Disney royalty and the Hollywood Bowl orchestra brought the music of the Disney renaissance to life with exciting performances. Let’s check out some photos and videos of the event!
Laughing Place had the pleasure to attend last night's performance of Disney ‘80s-’90s Celebration in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The event celebrated the songs and movies that raised an entire generation of children throughout the late 20th century. With special guests such as Jodi Benson, Susan Egan, Corbin Blue and more, those in attendance were treated to a plethora of Disney magic.

After a 15 minute intermission, Disney Parks fans were treated to a Fantasmic! medley to kick off the second act.
