In December 2021, Disney Parks announced that Disneyland Paris’s iconic Disney Illuminations fireworks spectacular would return following a long pandemic-related hiatus. Then, very quickly, Disneyland Paris officials once again paused the nighttime show indefinitely, again as a result of the COVID-19 spread throughout Europe.

Finally, last month, it was confirmed that Illuminations would be returning TODAY, February 16, 2022.

This is just in time for Disneyland Paris’s 30th anniversary celebration. Similar to Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary celebration — which officially commenced on October 1, 2021 — Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, and Disney Village will start a year-long party on March 6, 2022.

The celebrations will include the opening of Disney’s second Avengers Campus this summer. The first Marvel-themed land, of course, can be found at Disneyland Resort’s Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California.

As for Guests who are visiting Disneyland Paris today, they can will be able to enjoy some relaxed pandemic restrictions —  United Kingdom residents are no longer barred from the Parks amid the nation’s “tidal wave” of Omicron infections, for instance — including the aforementioned return of the beloved Illuminations nighttime spectacular at Sleeping Beauty Castle.
