Disneyland Paris Unveils New Nighttime Spectacular

Disneyland Paris is inviting guests to experience Disney Tales of Magic, an all-new nighttime spectacular. Since the debut of Disney Dreams! (2012) and Disney Illuminations (2017), these evening shows have become unforgettable moments for guests. Drawing inspiration from tales by Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios—such as Inside Out, Coco, Encanto, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Lilo & Stitch, Toy Story, and WALL-E—this new production focuses on the essence of magic.

This spectacular show delivers an experience enhanced by cutting-edge technology in a production that integrates Main Street, U.S.A. for the first time alongside Sleeping Beauty Castle. The projections of the main thoroughfare of the Disneyland Park blends with the one on Sleeping Beauty Castle, immersing guests in the story and making them feel like active participants. The show, with a runtime of approximately 20 minutes, combines fountain displays, strobes, pyrotechnic effects, 15 ultra-bright lasers, and new technology including 60 ultra powerful lighting fixtures, more than 200 architectural LED lighting packages, and a new immersive audio system; not to mention drones creating 3D figures in the sky in collaboration with Disneyland Paris’ official technology provider, Dronisos. These special effects come together to create a visual experience. To achieve projection quality, Disneyland Paris teams also enlisted the expertise of London-based supplier NorthHouse, to help bring the show’s immersive visual experiences to life. This complex show programming required over 17,500 hours of work, leveraging advanced 3D processes.

This new show is accompanied by a soundtrack that captures the essence of Disney magic through an arrangement of over 20 iconic tracks from Disney Animation and Pixar films. At the heart of this soundtrack is “Live in Magic”, an original song performed in both French and English by the talented Noémie Legrand, accompanied by a 100-piece orchestra recorded at the legendary Air Studios in London. Composed by Noémie Legrand, Tony Ferrari, and Lucky West, “Live in Magic” will be a deeply emotional moment for the audience.

With scenography, powerful intergenerational storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and an original soundtrack, this timeless experience will captivate guests of all ages, reminding them of the magical moments that shape a lifetime.
