Disneyland Paris® - Shows and Parades

Shows & Parades


	*SHOW* " Winnie the Pooh and Friends too" - On seleceted high season days only at Le Theatre du Chateau in Fantasyland. " We can find all of Christopher Robin's imaginery universe in the setting of 'One Hundred Acre Wood' . Through the show, we relive the thousand and one adventures of Winnie the Pooh, surrounded by all his friends, in search of his favourite treat, honey." This is a cute 25 minute show presented 5 times a day during the high season.

	SHOW " Tinkerbelle's Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks" - During the Summer High Season only " To conclude this day, Tinkerbell will fly high in the sky above the castle to magically light up the fireworks of Disneyland Paris" . Not the long tTinkerbell flight of Walt Disney World, but a twirly flight around the castle's main spire. I love the ooohs and aaahs. That Tinkerbell really knows what she's doing! You can watch the fireworks from just about anywhere in the park, but Main Street gives a great view. Lasts for 7 minutes.

	SHOW " Sword in the Stone" - Castle Courtyard in Fantasyland " Come and listen to the legend of King Arthur in the Castle Courtyard." More of a piece of 15 minute street theatre than a fully-fledged show. Fun all the same.

	SHOW " Disney's Bonfire Spectacular" Haven't got too much information about this, but it should be good. It will take place, probably annually, on November 2nd, 4th and 6th (these are the dates for 1998). The press releases describe it as " A firework extravaganza with parties, street entertainers and live music. A winter celebration for Bonfire Night!" Great, can't wait too see it. Does strike me as odd that they're celebrating a strangely English tradition though......this can only be good news! I'll post some pictures on this site after the event.

	*SHOW* " Rosie and the Rebels" - A 30 minute dinner show (not Mondays or Thursdays) in the Lucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland. " The sun shines down on the Lucky Nugget Saloon where Rosie and the Rebels blossom into a full bouquet of country music, dance and song for your enjoyment." You're advised to book in advance if you can. There's a lot of whoopin' and hollerin' and can-can dancin'. You'll enjoy it.

	*SHOW* " En Scène, s'il-vous plaît !" - Presented at the Fantasy Festival Stage in Fantasyland. " The Disney characters are putting together a new musical comedy, but an unexpected visit may disrupt rehearsals....." This is great fun for kids, but get there early for this 30 minute show and sit close to the front. During most of the year, the show runs every day, for or five times check your map for exact times as they change frequently.

	SHOW " Disney Classics: The Music and The Magic" - In the Videopolis in Discoveryland every day - check your map for times. " In a dazzling whirlwind of music and magic, we invite you to celebrate the most beautiful love stories on the great Disney Classics and to discover the fabulous adventure of the Hunchback of Notre Dame." Each of this show's 30 minutes are packed to the edges with Disney Magic produced the way only Disney know how. Be sure to put it on your schedule and get there early for a good seat (there's plenty of seating though, and you can sit up in the restaurant section if you want to eat as you watch - a little further away, but still a good view).

	PARADE " The California Dream Parade" - Runs annually from the end of August to the end of September (on selected days) on a route from Main Street to Discoveryland taking around 15 minutes to pass. " The Parade features cool cars and our California Stars. Follow the parade into Discoveryland and start your California Dream!" An odd and un-Disney parade which is fine to watch but lacks that fairy dust. Don't worry too much if you miss it.

	PARADE " Hercules Happening" - A short (10 minute) parade running from Main Street up to Fantasyland on weekdays during high season (low season presentation not yet confirmed). " Hercules' work is far from over! Come and see our hero and the film characters in a mythical comedy, parade to the rhythm of " Zero To Hero" and " A Star Is Born!" . It's fun, but it seems to finish just as it gets going!

	PARADE " Christmas Parade" (" Parade Nöel" ) - This parade runs at Christmas only (second week of November to the second week of January - or thereabouts), and replaces the current daily parade for the season. Disney Christmas Parades are the only thing can even comes close to getting me into the spirit of Christmas. Now THAT'S an achievement. They always feature the Christmas tree lighting-up ceremony, real reindeer and, of course, the REAL Santa Claus. Miss this parade at your peril! -)

	*PARADE* " The Wonderful World of Disney Parade" Currently the main Disneyland Paris Parade, and it's not at all disappointing. " All the characters from the great Disney Classics invite you to share the magic of this parade in which the music, costumes and dancers will carry you to the world of animated films. watch out, you may find yourself in the heart of the action!!!! - Yup, continuing the recent tradition of 'guest participation', you could well end up in everybody's holiday snaps. A parade well worthy of the Disney stamp of approval.

	PARADE " The Main Street Electrical Parade" - Presented every night during high season only. " A sparkling musical fantasy lights up the Theme Park." Complete with the Blue Fairy and the Baroque Hoedown, Paris is the place to find the late lamented 'MSEP', which has defected from Disneyland, California after it ran there from 1972 to 1996. Don't miss it.

	PARADE " Mulan's Chinese Carnival" Takes over as the main parade after the Christmas Parade is mothballed on January 11th 1999 (scheduled to run until 28th March 1999).

	EVENT " Halloween" - It's all happening in Frontierland every year from around mid-October to November 1st. There's always a great party for annual pass holders and their guests at Halloween (they'll shower you with freebies!).

	STREET ENTERTAINMENT " Le Grand Tivoli Sculpteur de Ballons" - The balloon sculptor can be found either in Frontierland or Fantasyland during high season (check your map for his exact location).

	STREET ENTERTAINMENT " Music Mania" - No, nothing like " Mickey Mania" , the fantastic 1996 Disneyworld Parade, but a pre-parade music show on Wednesdays, and weekends during the summer along the parade route.
	STREET ENTERTAINMENT " The International Student Showband" - Similar to the deal at EPCOT, school bands from all over Europe get their big chance on the Concert Castle Stage during high season.
