New shows

New daytime show

This exciting new show will be performed several times a day on the Central Plaza, right in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. Mickey Mouse will be joined by over 30 beloved Disney characters and dancers, complete with colourful floats.

Oh, and it'll be a great chance for Mickey and friends to show off their special 30th anniversary outfits too!

Disney D-Light

Taking place right before the iconic Disney Illuminations evening show on the castle, Disney D-Light will use video projections, illuminated water jets, lighting effects, mist and famous Disney songs.

What's particularly cool is that it will feature over 200 drones for a special choreography right above the castle. In fact, it's the first time a Disney Park will be using drone technology as part of a daily outdoor show.

That includes a brand new theme song too named 'Un monde qui s'illumine' - meaning a world that lights up - which was recorded by a symphony orchestra at the famous Abbey Road Studios.

New attractions

Gardens of Wonder

Disneyland Park will become home to new Gardens of Wonder with 10 different themed gardens in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

There will be 30 art sculptures paying tribute to 30 iconic Disney and Pixar characters - and not all will be obvious to find, so guests can enjoy trying to spot them as they wander through!
