Disneyland Paris introduces Disney Tales of Magic, a revolutionary nighttime show that seamlessly merges emotion and innovation. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, iconic stories, and a specially composed soundtrack, this new production offers guests an immersive experience that brings together the enchantment of Main Street, U.S.A. and the Beauty and the Beast Castle in a spectacular display. Developed by a team of experts, the show involved over 17,500 hours of meticulous work to deliver an unforgettable event that redefines Disney magic.

Technology at Its Finest

Disney Tales of Magic sets a new benchmark for the quality of nighttime entertainment. For the first time, Main Street, U.S.A. becomes an integral part of the show, making visitors feel like they are part of the stories unfolding before their eyes. Drones, developed in collaboration with technology partner Dronisos, create breathtaking 3D figures in the sky, while advanced lighting systems, including 15 ultra-bright lasers and over 200 architectural LED fixtures, elevate the visual experience. The show also incorporates an innovative immersive audio system, creating a three-dimensional soundscape that enhances the storytelling. These technological marvels are seamlessly complemented by pyrotechnics and mood lighting, ensuring every element contributes to the magic.

The Role of Music

Music is a central element in Disney Tales of Magic, weaving together Disney’s iconic narratives. The original song "Live in Magic," performed by Noémie Legrand and accompanied by a 100-piece orchestra, forms the emotional core of the show. Additionally, the soundtrack features over 20 reimagined classics from Disney and Pixar films such as The Lion King, Encanto, Toy Story, and Cinderella. Each piece has been carefully arranged to ensure smooth transitions and emotional depth, drawing the audience into a captivating journey through Disney's enchanted world.

Emotional Storytelling in Five Chapters

Disney Tales of Magic unfolds in five distinct chapters, each celebrating a unique facet of Disney magic. The prologue pays tribute to the visual wonders of classics like Pinocchio, Cinderella, and Mary Poppins, transitioning into the inner magic explored in Inside Out. Friendship and adventure take center stage in the next segment, featuring beloved characters like Lilo and Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, and the Green Aliens. The power of love shines in heartfelt moments with WALL-E and EVE, Belle and the Beast, as well as Carl and Ellie from Up. Themes of memory and belonging are poignantly depicted in scenes inspired by Coco and The Lion King. Finally, the journey culminates in a vibrant celebration of family and unity with the Madrigal family from Encanto, showcasing the importance of togetherness.

A Unique Fusion of Setting and Story

The seamless integration of Main Street, U.S.A. and the Beauty and the Beast Castle offers a fresh perspective on storytelling. Each location plays an active role in the narrative, with meticulously choreographed effects like falling rose petals and snow enhancing the immersive experience. The soundscapes perfectly complement the visuals, ranging from elegant ballroom melodies to intense, dramatic audio during action-packed sequences.

Innovation at the Core of Production

The show represents a pinnacle of creative and technological achievement. With projection frame rates doubled to 50 frames per second, the visuals achieve an unmatched level of clarity and fluidity. The interplay of drones, pyrotechnics, and lighting installations creates a truly unparalleled sense of immersion. Developing these effects required countless rehearsals and refinements to ensure each scene delivers the intended emotional impact.

As with all shows and parades at Disneyland Paris, Disney Tales of Magic is included in the park’s admission. This groundbreaking nighttime spectacle reflects the resort’s commitment to providing guests with magical moments that leave lasting memories.
