Mickey's Friendship Faire is the latest iteration of this fan favorite show debuting just in time for the 50th Anniversary. It follows the same framework set up from the first iteration with Mickey and his friends inviting new friends from Adventureland, Frontierland and Tomorrowland with Mickey and his friends clad in their royal outfits representing Fantasyland. The first scene stays the same with On This Day performed as usual, and the real changes occur after Goofy, Donald, and Daisy leave.

The announcer announces Sir Jose, Sir Fritz, Sir Michael and Sir Pierre as all four Enchanted Tiki Room Birds walk out on stage debuting their first ever in park costumes. They all say aloha to Mickey, Minnie, and the audience as they begin to sing their titular song, The Enchanted Tiki Room. As they begin to sing dancers dressed in traditional Hawaiian outfits appear to dance along stage, and teach Mickey, Minnie and Goofy their dances. As the song finishes Mickey thanks the Tiki Room birds for coming, and with that the Adventureland troupe and Goofy leave the stage.
Wendell from The Country Bears runs on stage clad in his new fisherman outfits, and with a fishing pole in his hand. Donald Duck runs out in a cowboy outfit, and tells Mickey and Minnie he has brought the most distinguished of guests from the Realm of Frontierland. Wendell "spits" into his hand and enthusiastically shakes Mickey and Minnie's hand, the Mouses are not pleased at all. Wendell begins to perform a snippet of his new song, I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song), from the updated Country Bear Jamboree, and as he finishes a small verse he throws out a line and accidentally reels in Donald setting off Donald.
Daisy Duck appears in a saloon girl outfit followed by Henry, Trixie, and Teddi Barra along with various dancers dressed as cowboys and saloon girls. Daisy chastises Donald for bringing the wrong guests and as the two fight Henry and Trixie interject saying no matter what happens everyone is still family and friends! This repairs the fight between the Ducks and launches the actual song for the scene, Ol' Slew Foot the finale song from the COuntry Bear Jamboree. On the stage the performers begin to square dance and line dance teaching the steps to Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy with the Country Bears singing their song to everybody in attendance. As the song finishes Minnie thanks the Country Bears for coming, and with that the Frontierland troupe, Donald and Daisy leave the stage.
Mickey surprises Minnie with the songs of the future! Synth waves start up as John and Sarah run out as A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow's first notes playout. They welcome Mickey and Minnie to a great big beautiful tomorrow as dancers come out in space age outfits, and the couple begin to sing a synth dance version of A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. As the song finishes Minnie thanks the Carousel of Progress couple for coming, and with that the Tomorrowland troupe, Mickey and Minnie leave the stage.
The finale plays out the same way as the current show with the only change being the Tiki Room birds, Country Bears, and the Carousel of Progress couple dancing on stage with Mickey and Friends to A Smile and a Song and a reprise of On This Day. The show ends with all the characters posing, and small fireworks firing off from the castle.
