Here’s the information that was shared with us:
A NEW SHOW AND A DAZZLING NIGHTTIME PRE-SHOW IN FRONT OF THE ICONIC CASTLE
A new daytime show called“ Dream… and Shine Brighter! “
The creation of unique shows is part of the DNA of Disneyland Paris: Mickey and the Magician, The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands or Disney Junior Dream Factory are examples of successful shows that contribute to making our Guests’ experience magical.
For the 30th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris, a new show will be performed every day – several times a day – on Central Plaza at Disneyland Park, in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle which is more beautiful than ever following its 12-month refurbishment (More information HERE).
Consisting of three themes that celebrate the power of laugh, passion, and dreams, it will feature more than 30 Disney Characters and dancers with new colorful floats and a unique soundtrack.
It will be an opportunity to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and their friends decked out in their new iridescent costumes, as created especially for the 30th Anniversary. Many other Characters who have marked the history of animation will join them, including the Genie from Aladdin, Princess Rapunzel, and Jessie and Woody from Toy Story, just to name a few.
To give you a sneak peek of the new costumes designed for this celebration, Disneyland Paris organized its own fashion show as part of which Mickey, Minnie and their friends “hit the catwalk” in a one-of-a-kind setting:
Costume design at Disneyland Paris: 30 years of “Sewing” expertise
●Mickey and Minnie’s dressing room would be a goldmine for any fashion addict – more than 450 costumes, to which the new iridescent costumes with their hats designed especially for the Park’s 30th Anniversary are now added!
●Since 1992, more than 30,000 costumes have been designed in the ateliers of Disneyland Paris – one of the largest collections of costumes in Europe.
●Milliners, pattern makers, seamstresses… in total, more than 40 people work in the ateliers of Disneyland Paris.
●To design the costumes of this 30th Anniversary, more than 2,000 lines of rhinestone were sewn, more than 700 meters of fabrics were printed, and more than 190 jewels were necessary.
And a new nighttime state-of-the-art sequence of magic!
At nightfall, a new spectacular emotional moment will be offered for Guests before one of their favorite shows Disney Illuminations. Called Disney D-Light, this new pre-show will combine video projections, illuminated water jets, lighting effects, mist, famous Disney songs, and above all, drone choreography to bring an additional touch of Magic around the iconic Castle, that has been renovated for the occasion. Filled with special effects, the different scenes will transform the Castle as never before.
To kick off the celebration and for a limited time, a light and air show featuring 200 drones* – designed with the assistance of European expert Dronisos, Official Technology provider based in Bordeaux – will be performed so as to end this new nighttime pre-show in an unforgettable way. These synchronized drones will form a sparkling figure “30” in the sky right above Sleeping Beauty Castle, while the new theme song created for the 30th Anniversary – “Un monde qui s’illumine” – will be played in the background. The soundtrack was recorded with a symphony orchestra at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London, and arranged in a different way for this pre-show, to make it even more emotional.
It will be the first time a Disney Park uses the drone technology as part of a daily outdoor show above its Castle. This innovation is a new step forward in the development of experiences that are always more immersive and spectacular for Disneyland Paris Guests, where technology paves the way for emotions!
SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT ELEMENTS THAT ADD TO THE EXISTING EXPERIENCES FOR EXTRA MAGIC
In addition to the entertainment program developed especially for the 30th Anniversary, Guests will be able to enjoy the existing experiences with their family or friends. They will be able to experience more than 50 attractions – whether they are thrill seekers, passionate about adventures or enchanted journeys – there are attractions to suit all tastes. “Selfie Spots” to interact with Disney Characters, and many shows such as Mickey and the Magician (performances will start in spring/summer 2022), Disney Junior Dream Factory, Disney Stars on Parade (which made its big comeback early January 2022 after being suspended for nearly two years) will always be a part of the celebration, just like Disney Illuminations, which will immerse Guests in Disney, Pixar, and Star WarsTM stories, from the past and the present!
