Disney Symphony of Colours and Christmas Magic at Disneyland® Paris
PARIS, Dec. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting January 8, 2024, life at Disneyland Paris will be as colorful and joyful as in the movies. In the first weeks of the new year, Disneyland Paris will gradually roll out a series of dazzling experiences, including 'Disney Symphony of Colours,' to brighten the dull winter days.

Disney Symphony of Colours
Disney Electrical Sky Parade
Starting January 8, 2024*, the 'Disney Electrical Sky Parade' will treat guests to a nighttime drone aerial parade, with drones, video projections, lights and fountains synchronised above Sleeping Beauty Castle. Up to 500 drones will transform the sky into a vibrant palette, enhanced by the lights on the castle.
A New Daytime Show Celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar
Starting February 10, 2024*, guests can delight in a lively new daytime show, a colourful musical experience celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar films alongside many characters, under the theme 'A Million Splashes of Colour.' This original production performs daily and takes guests on a journey through time, exploring the works of Disney Animation and Pixar—from timeless classics to the latest blockbusters.
Colourful floats will draw inspiration from the core elements of Disney Animation and Pixar creations—art, music and writing. Each float will have its own visual identity, while incorporating many Disney details and nods.
Music will play a central role in this celebration, featuring two original scores and a mash-up of classic songs from Disney Animation and Pixar films. From 'The Bare Necessities' from *The Jungle Book* to 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' from *Encanto* and 'You've Got a Friend in Me' from *Toy Story*, this selection of hits will delight guests of all ages, having touched generations.
The dancers' costumes and makeup will also express a rich palette of colours. Each day, a total of 30 dancers and characters will welcome guests with a colourful spectacle.
Exquisite Decorations on Main Street, U.S.A.
Main Street, U.S.A. is a must-see when visiting Disneyland Paris. From February 10, 2024*, vibrant new decorations will adorn the street in a riot of colour, shimmer and blooms. Tinker Bell and her twin sister Periwinkle will sprinkle Pixie Dust to 'wake up winter.'
The new decor, inspired by Art Nouveau, will celebrate Disney's colourful stories and the natural wonders of winter and spring. Over 50 Disney Animation and Pixar characters will be featured, including Donald, Tiana from *The Princess and the Frog*, Elsa from *Frozen* and Woody from *Toy Story*.
Disneyland® Paris Launches a Christmas Magic Journey
Disneyland Paris will continue to create timeless memories from November 11, 2023 to January 7, 2024, bringing the Christmas spirit to life. The resort's 'Disney Enchanted Christmas' season will present cherished winter holiday traditions, inviting guests to meet beloved Disney characters dressed in their festive best. One tradition is the return of the giant Christmas tree, stunningly decorated, overlooking Main Street, U.S.A., where it snows several times a day.
Mickey's Dazzling Christmas Parade
A Classic Show Brimming with Christmas Magic
Mickey's Dazzling Christmas Parade makes its return, with five whimsical floats bursting with colour to the sound of festive music. Day or night, Mickey and his friends, Disney Princesses and Santa Claus dance down Main Street, U.S.A.®. As night falls, the parade glitters, adding even more sparkle to the most enchanting Christmas spectacle. Nearly a hundred performers, both onstage and backstage, wear the most splendid costumes, filling the parade with wonderful holiday spirit.
After the joyful parade, guests can head to Videopolis Theatre for a heartwarming musical show, 'Let's Sing Christmas!', joining Disney friends. Disneyland Paris gives guests the chance to sing traditional Christmas carols, with lyrics displayed on screen in real time.
Disney Friends and Santa Claus Join the Festivities
Select Disney friends, such as Stitch, Goofy or their pals, will be dressed in holiday attire to greet guests and pose for photos. Alongside these legendary characters, Santa Claus will also grant last wishes before embarking on his great gift-giving journey.
To celebrate the French release of the new Disney Animation musical film *WISH*, the heroine Asha will appear in the park from November 29, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
Disney Volunteers Bring Christmas Magic to Hospitalised Children
This year, Disney VoluntEARS (cast members who take part in volunteer activities) will once again bring joy and magic to children in hospital, stepping into Santa's shoes to distribute thousands of gifts in paediatric wards at several French hospitals, ensuring a merry Christmas for those who need it most.
