Guests will be able to use AR via Snapchat to bring many of the iconic Disney characters to life across a 1,000sqm installation.

There will be four themed rooms, including characters from Alice in Wonderland, The Lion King, Mickey & Friends, and Lilo & Stitch.

With Alice in Wonderland, you’ll follow the journey down the rabbit hole meeting Mome Rathes and the QUeen’s Card Guards.

With Lilo & Stitch, guests will visit the beach at Ohana Bay while a jungle-themed Lion King room will focus on Simba, Timon and Pumba.

Micky, Minnie, Donald and Goofy will also make an appearance

It is targeted at young adults, who will be encouraged to use their smartphones throughout the experience and share it on social media.

The new attraction launches in London on May 12, running until May 21 before moving to Berlin and Paris.

H&M members can get early access to buy tickets for the attraction in the UK and France until February 8.

General release opens on February 9, with tickets costing £17.50 per person.

Sarah Fox, VP Marketing & Comms, Disney Consumer Products, EMEA, said: “Throughout our one hundred years, Disney stories have shown the importance of friendship and appreciating the differences in others, so we couldn’t think of a better theme to celebrate our milestone anniversary.

“From Alice in Wonderland’s flower walkway to Lilo and Stitch’s photo frame opportunity, there’ll be plenty of social media moments to share with your best friends and relive for years to come.”

There are lots of exciting things coming to the Disney parks this year too.

At Disney World, the anticipated Tron Lightcycle Power Run is due to open as well as a new Toy Story restaurant.

Disneyland Paris will continue to celebrate its 30th anniversary with new light shows, as well as open a new Tangled attraction.

And the Disney Cruise Line is coming to Europe this summer as well.
