The August issue of WDW Magazine is all about magic at Walt Disney World, including stories about the magician-themed AbracadaBar, the Sanderson Sisters, Madame Leota, Sorcerer Mickey, Peter Pan, MagicBands, and more.

Do you believe in magic? Whether it’s the wand-waving magic of magicians at AbracadaBar at Disney’s BoardWalk, the hocus pocus of the sinister Sanderson Sisters, the how’d-they-do-that magic of Imagineering on attractions like Avatar Flight of Passage, or the splendor of a family vacation at the Most Magical Place on Earth, Disney fans revel in true magic when visit they visit Walt Disney World.

Our August issue of WDW Magazine, titled “I Put a Spell on You,” celebrates that magic.

What’s Inside our Issue About Magic at Walt Disney World?

So what’s in this issue all about Walt Disney World magic? The pixie dust-sprinkled pages include stories such as:

• AbracadaBar: There’s a lot of magic lurking in the magician-themed bar at Disney’s BoardWalk. Read our guide to all the hidden Easter eggs, the bar’s backstory, and the best food and drink to order when you visit.
• Fantasmic! quiz: Think you know everything there is to know about Fantastmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Test your knowledge about this magical nighttime spectacular with our interactive quiz.
• Lights, Motors, Action: Feeling nostalgic? Explore the behind-the-scenes movie magic of this gone-but-not-forgotten show at the Studios, and hear from an Imagineer about how the whole show was put together.
• Flying on an ikran: How do Imagineers make it feel like you’re actually flying on a banshee on Avatar Flight of Passage? We’ll share all the secrets of how the technology works!
• The Sanderson Sisters: Read our guide to all things Hocus Pocus in the parks, with behind-the-scenes info about how the Hocus Pocus Villains Spelltacular was originally created for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

And so much more!
