'Magical' night-time show where you can step inside a Disney story

Disneyland Paris has unveiled an immersive night-time show centred around the iconic Sleeping Beauty's Castle. The show, called 'Disney Tales of Magic', will be performed everyday, including the weekends, and is designed to transport visitors into Disney stories.

Through 20 super bright high-definition LED video projectors hidden along Main Street, the park will be transformed into an enchanting setting where visitors will feel like they are inside an animation. One minute it will be a grand ballroom where Cinderella and Prince Charming waltz under the stars, and the next it will be transformed into a colourful Colombian village brought to life by the magic of the Madrigal family from Encanto.

The show will last 20 minutes and combine pyrotechnics and fountain displays to create an experience that includes 60 brand new ultra powerful lighting fixtures, 15 ultra-bright lasers, an all-new architectural LED lighting package, the iconic Star Flash strobes, as well as a new immersive audio system. There will also be drones which will form 3D figures in the sky above the castle creating a unique visual experience at Disneyland Paris.

Natacha Rafalski, president of Disneyland Paris said: "At Disneyland Paris, we’ve always strived to push the boundaries of what’s possible in night-time entertainment, and Disney Tales of Magic takes that vision even further. Our teams have crafted something truly magical, an experience that will captivate and inspire guests for years to come. Building on our legacy of innovation, creativity, and storytelling, we’re excited for this show to become a lasting part of the story of Disneyland Park."

Disneyland Paris is also launching its first-ever Disney music festival, scheduled for Spring 2025. Starting on April 19, 2025, the festival will run until September 7, 2025 and stretching through venues across the park, where different musical pieces from the worlds of Disney and Pixar will play out.

Music will include a pop/rock concert featuring Disney's greatest hits, as well as Minnie Mouse's parade with her marching band.
