“Disney Tales of Magic”: The New Highlight of Nighttime Entertainment

Starting January 10, 2025, Disneyland Paris will unveil the innovative nighttime spectacle “Disney Tales of Magic,” combining emotional storytelling with state-of-the-art technology.

Advanced Technology for an Immersive Experience

“Disney Tales of Magic” leverages the latest technology to create a visual masterpiece. With over 20 ultra-bright, high-definition LED video projectors, 60 powerful lighting units, and 15 lasers, Main Street, U.S.A., becomes a vibrant, colorful backdrop. An architectural LED lighting package and Star Flash strobe lights intensify the show’s impact. The experience is further enhanced by an immersive audio system and Dronisos drones that form breathtaking 3D figures in the sky. The technical expertise involved in creating the show is immense: Disneyland Paris collaborated with the London-based studio NorthHouse over more than 17,500 hours to perfect the visual artistry and projection effects.

Magical Disney Worlds and Emotional Themes

“Disney Tales of Magic” takes guests on an emotional journey through various Disney and Pixar worlds. Scenes feature Cinderella and Prince Charming dancing in a grand ballroom, the Madrigal family’s colorful Colombian village from “Encanto,” and the emotion-filled memory orbs from “Inside Out.” Additional beloved characters and stories from Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Lilo & Stitch, Coco, Toy Story, and WALL-E also come to life in the show. Themes such as pursuing dreams, embarking on adventures with friends, and family love resonate deeply, making the experience compelling for guests of all ages.

A Unique Soundtrack That Captures Disney Magic

The soundtrack for “Disney Tales of Magic” includes more than 20 reimagined Disney classics and features the original song “Live in Magic.” Composed and sung by Noémie Legrand in both French and English, the song is accompanied by a 100-piece orchestra, recorded at the iconic Air Studios in London. This captivating soundtrack allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in the world of Disney, making it a musically emotional experience.

Comparison with Previous Nighttime Shows

“Disney Tales of Magic” follows in the footsteps of iconic Disneyland Paris nighttime shows such as “Disney Dreams!” and “Disney Illuminations.” Since 2012, these spectacular shows have been defining the park’s nighttime entertainment. Recently, the Disney Electrical Sky Parade was named the European Top New Attraction of 2024, underscoring the significance of these nighttime events at Disneyland Paris.
