Moj\u00e1car celebrates, with great success, a mass party held for the first time in the locality and that is here to stay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thousands of people joined in with the call to \u201cThe Magic of Disney shines in Moj\u00e1car at Christmas\u201d, turning the locality into an enormous stage where all the most famous characters from Disney films had fun with a colour parade, games, children\u2019s workshops, guided visits, a gigantic paella for more than 1,000 people, songs from the best-known soundtracks from the Disney factory and a fancy dress competition.
\nMany families shared costumes and Disney themes with their children and friends on a day everyone enjoyed and that will become as established in the municipality as the Moors & Christians festival, the Night of Candlelight and the Romantic Night.
\n\tMoj\u00e1car adds to its festival calendar another celebration that will be the precursor to the Christmas festivities. Christmas festivities expected to be very special starting this year with the boost, in the event of being the winner, of the Ferrero Rocher \u201cTogether we shine more\u201d Christmas illuminations contest, and that would put the municipality in line for a new focus for the celebration of Christmas.
\n\tIt is not just the mass participation of adults and children, it is also the good organisation and the success of each programmed activity that has prompted the public to request its continuity over time.
\n\tParallel to the festival activity, the day began with a discussion table with the tagline: Was Walt Disney born here?, organised by the Walt Was Here? Moj\u00e1car Association.
\n\tAll the information gathered over the two years of the association\u2019s existence was exhibited at the table. Documentaries, press releases, interviews and TV programmes, in which a more than reasonable doubt about the Moj\u00e1car origins of Disney is expressed.
\n\tThe Walt Was Here? Association came into being two years ago in Moj\u00e1car with the aim of rekindling the legend that was created around the possible Moj\u00e1car origin of Walt Disney. For this purpose, it has collected and interpreted all the related information and has been opening its own line of work.
\n\tWithout ruling out any information, they are in contact with the University of Chicago to find, around the early 1900s, the clue about the presence of the mother of the Moj\u00e1car child who is supposed to have been Walt Disney.
\n\tThey are also waiting for a document from the 1940s in which the Government in Madrid requests from the Local Council information about a child, Jos\u00e9 Guirao Zamora, and the response of the local authority and of the Church. As a result of this communication there was a mysterious visit by the \u201cmen in black\u201d, as locals called some men in suits who arrived in Moj\u00e1car, also in search of the aforementioned documentation, and who were supposedly from the FBI.
\n\tDates that coincide with the collaboration of Walt Disney with this American police investigation body and with his marriage.
\n\tWas Walt Disney born in Moj\u00e1car? Everyone in the locality thinks so, and while the mystery is being uncovered, his magic and his charm are on display thanks to the children and to the whole locality celebrating an even more magical day, with the memory of him and of all his characters who have made children and grown-ups dream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
