Disney’s first-ever Chief Magic Official Justin Muchoney celebrated his final day in his role at Epcot, where he randomly invited park guests to join him in a surprise Unbirthday Party in The Odyssey, featuring Alice in Wonderland decorations and characters – as well as a few surprises for Justin.

On Earth Day 2008, Justin Muchoney was named Disney’s first Chief Magic Official (CMO). Over the course of the following year, Justin attended numerous special events, helping spread Disney magic to park guests. One year later, on Earth Day 2009, Justin helped assemble a special surprise Unbirthday Party at Epcot. The party featured drinks, a brownie bar, a DJ, hula hooping, dance contests, as well as characters from Alice in Wonderland.

Orlando Attractions Magazine had exclusive access to bring you along to the party:
