Plot
On a rainy day, Ariel, Moana, Rapunzel, Jasmine, and Mulan decide to shelter a bunch of animals until the storm clears. The Cheshire Cat sees this as an opportunity for mayhem and spawns a surplus of animals that invade the castle, confusing the five princesses. While trying to keep the peace, Ariel has to save Flounder from being eaten by a crocodile. Following a trail of ants, the princesses find the Wardrobe's portal as the source of the animals, though unbeknownst to them the Cat has possessed her. When the Cat gets close to being exposed, he sends out a stampede of elephants that the princesses have to chase out of the castle. Afterwards, the Cat floods the castle with water.[3]
After opening the castle doors to let the water escape, the Cat covers the entire castle in thick vines. To get out of the vines, the Magic Mirror summons Snow White to break the princesses out and joins the group. The chaos caused by the Cat causes the castle's foundation to begin to fail, and the princesses need an additional guide to help the animals escape. Their help comes from Mushu. Snow White ends up staying inside the castle but is rescued by birds before she can fall to the ground. Regrouping, Snow White figures out it was the Cheshire Cat's doings and after he is confronted, uses his powers to rebuild the castle, expanding it to include new sections, which the princesses love. In a subplot, Abigail and Amelia Gabble watch the chaos unfurl in real time and view it as a live performance.

Reception
Critical response
Alex Reif of Laughing Place, commented about the special: "Fast-paced and fun, LEGO Disney Princess: Magical Maghem continues the adventures that started in 2023's LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest and last year's LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite. Presumably, next year’s special will delve deeper into the latest version of the castle, which really only appears at the end of the story. But for now, whether you’re playing along or just enjoying it on its own merits, there’s plenty of fun to be had."[4]
Polly Conway of Common Sense Media gave Lego Disney Princess: Magical Mayhem a grade of three out of five stars, saying: "This special advertises mayhem, and mayhem it delivers. Lego Disney Princess: Magical Mayhem presents a chaotic adventure with lots of action and some cute nods to classic and modern Lego sets. On that subject, kids may be interested in actual Lego sets after watching this special. With six princesses sharing the spotlight, everyone gets a little moment to shine, and the princesses' relationships with their pets are cute to watch as well. There's not a ton of depth to this one, but it's fast-paced princess fun for Disney fans."[5]
