Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary news, rumours, new attractions, new additions, new events — Find out what’s new for the 20th Anniversary at Disneyland Paris, beginning April 2012!
From 1st April 2012, Disneyland Paris celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a whole year of special events and new surprises. Disneyland Park will stay open later for longer throughout the year with Extended Hours, in preparation for the main event of the whole year: Disney Dreams! — a magical, immersive new nighttime spectacular. Directed by Disneyland entertainment master Steve Davison, this world premiere nighttime show will feature state-of-the-art HD projections, fountains, fire, lasers, pyrotechnics and numerous other special effects to completely immerse guests in a magical tale that takes you from the Second Star to the Right through some of the greatest Disney stories ever told! It’s the biggest spectacle ever witnessed at Disneyland Paris and, in an exciting move, will be performed every single night of the year as the park’s landmark entertainment event.
Disney’s grand celebration will also see the premiere of Disney Magic on Parade!, a colourful, refreshed daily parade, and allow you to Meet Mickey Mouse in a special, permanent new “backstage” encounter at Fantasy Festival Stage. More characters will arrive aboard Disney’s 20th Anniversary Celebration Train each day, and with Main Street, U.S.A. Celebrates!, the quaint smalltown of America decks itself out and dazzles like never before.
Surprises later in the year include the opening of the stunning new World of Disney flagship store at the entrance to Disney Village, and a huge programme of Refurbishments will ensure the entire resort looks as good as it did on Grand Opening day, back on 12th April 1992.
