Since April 19, 2025, the first Disney Music Festival has transformed Disneyland® Park in Paris into a vibrant musical celebration. Running until September 7, 2025, this event captivates guests of all ages with live concerts, beloved Disney and Pixar characters, and timeless songs. Included in the park admission, the festival delivers unforgettable moments across the park’s five enchanting lands.
A Musical Extravaganza in Disneyland Park
The Disney Music Festival invites visitors to immerse themselves in the magic of Disney and Pixar songs performed live. Over a dozen concerts and musical encounters light up the park daily, many occurring multiple times. Skilled musicians wielding trumpets, violins, and drums join iconic characters to deliver a repertoire that sparks joy—from classics like “Bare Necessities” from "The Jungle Book" to modern hits like “Nobody Like U” from Pixar’s "Turning Red". An IPSOS study, conducted from February 7 to 10, 2025, with 3,515 European participants, including 1,503 Germans, reveals that 66 percent of German families view Disneyland Paris as the ideal venue for Disney music. Additionally, 67 percent of Germans say these songs bring a smile to their faces.
Themed Lands Alive with Music
Each of the park’s five themed lands pulses with its own musical rhythm. In Frontierland, Miguel’s Fiesta Latina ignites the atmosphere with lively Mariachi tunes. On Town Square, the Pearly Band, a sophisticated jazz orchestra in London style, transports guests into the charming world of "Mary Poppins" from 1964. Adventureland sways to Vaiana’s band, inspired by Pacific Island melodies, while in Fantasyland, Rapunzel and Flynn weave a fairytale musical moment. In Discoveryland, Stitch rocks the stage with Hawaiian-infused rock’n’roll. The festival’s original anthem, “Viva la Musique,” threads through every performance, shifting seamlessly across classical, pop, folk, rock, and electronic styles to reflect the event’s vibrant diversity.
Showstopping Festival Highlights
Minnie’s Marching Band parades down Main Street, U.S.A., captivating crowds with a 12-piece ensemble of percussion and brass instruments. The band reimagines hits like “Hakuna Matata” from "The Lion King", “Into the Unknown” from "Frozen 2", and “Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me” from "Pirates of the Caribbean". The Disney Music Hits Concert at Videopolis Theatre delivers electrifying energy. Hosted by Chip and Dale, this pop-rock spectacle features five vocalists and a six-piece band with drums, bass, guitars, keyboard, and saxophone, breathing new life into songs like “Friend Like Me” from "Aladdin", “You’ll Be in My Heart” from "Tarzan", and “Try Everything” from "Zootopia", inspiring the audience to sing along.
Grand Orchestra Finale at Sleeping Beauty Castle
The day culminates in a breathtaking 20-minute Grand Orchestra Finale at the foot of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Led by Mickey, 89 performers—including Vaiana, Videopolis Theatre musicians, and Miguel’s Mariachis—unite for a dazzling medley of Disney and Pixar songs. A symphonic rendition of “Viva la Musique” crowns the performance. A new festival float, designed as a concert stage, showcases Chip and Dale’s hit band, amplifying the celebratory spirit.
Timeless Melodies and Creative Craftsmanship
“Every performance is a masterpiece crafted through collaboration between our creative teams and music professionals,” says Guillaume Coignard, music producer at Disneyland Paris. The reimagined arrangements unleash the emotional depth of Disney and Pixar stories, guiding guests on a unique sonic journey. An IPSOS study confirms the songs’ universal appeal, with 70 percent of families deeming them timeless. Boasting 45 Grammy Awards from the Recording Academy and billions of streams, these melodies shape global pop culture. “The festival unites generations in a wave of emotion,” notes Matthieu Robin, Creative & Show Director. “Like major music festivals, it lets everyone—spectator or participant—feel the rhythm in a universal language of memories.”
Stylish Merchandise and Tasty Treats
The festival shines with a collection of Tie-Dye shirts, travel mugs, and festival-themed ears in vibrant event colors. Food stalls offer show-inspired snacks, such as Daisy Duck’s vanilla and strawberry milkshake paired with a glazed donut or popcorn served in containers modeled after Mickey and Minnie’s costumes, adding a delicious Disney twist to the experience.
Celebrities at the Festival Preview
Before the festival’s launch, celebrities like Sam Ryder, Julia Beautx, and Ana Kohler attended an exclusive preview. “The energy was electric,” raved Sam Ryder. “Minnie’s Marching Band and the diverse styles—from Miguel’s Fiesta Latina to Vaiana’s island vibes—turned the park into an open-air festival. Hearing my anthem ‘Viva la Musique’ in so many variations was pure magic.”
