Lip Singing or Actual Singing?

When it comes to Disneyland's shows like Mickey and the Magical Map, among other shows, are the actor's playing the characters, are they lip singing or actually singing? I can't tell hahaha.

I don't work for Disney so I can't say for 100% certainty, but I do work in the industry so I have some knowledge. For Mickey and the Magical Map, the main songs are sung live - by Pocahantas, Mulan, and Rapunzel. Those would be live (and you can see their mics). But the background vocals are I'm sure prerecorded, so the dancers would be lip syncing. It's similar to how it is on cruise ships. I'm not sure if that's very clear.

Basically, if it's one person singing, it's live. If it's many people singing it's prerecorded.

For Magical Map and Aladdin, all of the lead character solos are live (with a few exceptions) but all of the background and chorus singer are tracked.
