Per Disneyland Paris News, beginning April 12, 2023, “Disney Dreams!” will once again dazzle Guests each night at Disneyland Park, taking them on a magical and emotional journey following the “Disney D-Light” drone show – a powerful combination of experiences that will result in an unforgettable nighttime sequence.
If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy “Disney Dreams!”, you can take a sneak peek at its upcoming return in the video below:
The breathtaking nighttime show, which originally debuted in 2012, offers an incredible burst of colors and light using state-of-the-art technology, dazzling projections, spectacular lasers and fountains, and sensational pyrotechnic effects that genuinely make Sleeping Beauty Castle come to life.
And this year’s return of “Disney Dreams!” will be even more exceptional, as the rooftops of Sleeping Beauty Castle’s towers have been decked out with cutting-edge LED technology — previously used in the Halloween and Christmas seasonal nighttime spectaculars — to light up in sync with the show’s nostalgic soundtrack. An additional upgrade to the show’s technical equipment includes the installation of energy-efficient laser video projectors, which will make it possible to reduce energy use by 50% while delivering a breathtaking performance. “There’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world,” commented Ben Spalding, producer of Live Entertainment at Disneyland Paris.
Regarding the plot of “Disney Dreams!” Disney states, “Guided by Peter Pan’s shadow, guests will discover or rediscover some of the greatest Disney stories projected on Sleeping Beauty Castle during an extraordinary journey featuring iconic songs from Disney and Pixar fan favorites Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King, Tangled, and many others.”
In addition to the nostalgic return of “Disney Dreams!,” Disneyland Paris will see a brand-new drone show dedicated exclusively to the Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe — illuminating the sky above Avengers Campus — and the debut of a live show twenty years in the making.
