Disneyland Paris New Nighttime Spectaculars
Updated: 1st October 2024
Disney recently dropped some thrilling updates at the D23 Expo about what’s in store for Disneyland Paris and Disney Adventure World.
They hinted at some amazing new nighttime shows headed to the parks and now, they’ve unveiled more information along with some cool concept art for the fireworks and projection displays coming between 2024 and 2026.
Disneyland Paris is keeping its tradition of nighttime fun alive and once again teamed up with its tech partner Dronisos (creators of the Disney Electrical Sky Parade and Avengers: Power The Night) to bring something truly original to the shores of Adventure Bay in 2026. They’re working on some uniquely designed water-drones specifically for an exciting new show that will wrap up each thrilling day at Disney Adventure World in style.
A lot of details, like the show’s title, are still a mystery, but at the D23 Expo in California this year, they gave us a sneak peek of what the show may look like. The preview featured a stunning scene from the animated movie Moana, projected onto water, with glowing drones lighting up the night sky.
Back to today and Disneyland Paris is rolling out an exciting lineup of events for guests in the coming months. Kicking things off is the Disney Halloween Festival, which promises a spooktacular experience from today until 3rd November 2024. After that, get ready for the much-anticipated Disney Enchanted Christmas, running from 9th November 2024, to the 6th January 2025.
As we approach the end of the year, a brand-new show called Doctor Strange: Mystery of the Mystics will light up the evenings from 23rd November 2024, to 29th March 2025, at the Marvel Avenger Campus. This show will showcase an epic showdown where Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch must join forces to fend off a mysterious occult threat.
Doctor Strange: Mystery of the Mystics will be hosted at the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB) building through Spring 2025. Expect a thrilling mix of projections, music, and special effects, along with a fresh storyline featuring both beloved and new Super Heroes at Disneyland Paris.
Finally, an all-new nighttime spectacular will enchant guests of all ages every day at the Disneyland Park starting 10th January 2025. This new fireworks show will feature a combination of iconic songs and projections of Disney characters onto Sleeping Beauty Castle and – for the very first time – onto Main Street, U.S.A.
This still-unnamed all-new nighttime spectacular will enchant guests of all ages every day at Disneyland Paris starting in Winter 2025. With a magical medley of iconic songs and projections of Disney characters onto Sleeping Beauty Castle, guests will go on a journey filled with emotion and nostalgia, discovering that true magic lies within every moment of life.
The show will push the technical boundaries set for the previous nighttime shows, such as Disney Dreams! and Disney Illuminations. Guests will be immersed like never before, thanks to an innovative combination of projections, fountains and breathtaking lighting effects, all set to a fantastic original soundtrack specially composed for the show.
Marking a notable first in the history of nighttime spectaculars at Disneyland Paris, the featured story will incorporate Main Street, U.S.A. A string of visuals from Disney Animation films such as Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, and Encanto, as well as moments featuring Buzz Lightyear from Pixar’s Toy Story films will be brought to life on the iconic street located in Disneyland Park, made possible through state-of-the-art projections complete with sound effects.
“For this new show, we reimagined the way of telling stories with our Castle as the main attraction. This exclusive experience at Disneyland Paris is a testament to our creative expertise – skill which has been honed over the years. We are looking forward to dazzling and touching the hearts of our guests by immersing them into breathtaking sequences inspired by their favorite Disney and Pixar movies like never before. This can’t-miss experience will make it possible for guests to end their day in the parks all together in the most unforgettable way,” said Dana Harrel, Executive Entertainment Director, Disneyland Paris.
