Last week in Disneyland Paris, the theme Park celebrated Bastille Day with a nighttime spectacle unlike anything else. Disney has released multiple aerial footage of the show, where 1,496 drones flew, hovered, and lit up the sky over Sleeping Beauty Castle. The footage captured the drones mimicking the most significant symbols of French culture, including the Eiffel Tower, the rose window at Notre Dame, the French flag, and Disney characters such as Lumiere and Mickey Mouse.

Many people have compared Disneyland Paris’s celebration of Bastille Day with the Magic Kingdom Park in Florida’s celebration of the 4th of July. Meanwhile, other people have commented on social media that the nighttime show at Disneyland Paris was superior to the Independence Day fireworks at Walt Disney World and also better than the entertainment Disney provided to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

The video shared on social media is only a little over two minutes long, but the actual nighttime show was over 10 minutes and featured a French version of “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast (1991), “Topsy Turvy” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
