As night falls, Disneyland Paris changes its backdrop. Disney Tales of Magic, the nighttime spectacular running since January 10, 2025 at the Promenade Disneyland, brings together Disney and Pixar stories on the Sleeping Beauty Castle and the facades of Main Street, U.S.A. Characters step off the screen to appear on the towers and buildings of the main thoroughfare, amid light projections and fireworks. A look at the show.
For about 22 minutes, the scenes travel through the worlds of Pinocchio, Cendrillon or Toy Story, then give way to memories of Coco and the family ties of Encanto. Friendship, dreams, and the memory of loved ones connect these universes. Stitch brings a splash of whimsy, WALL-E is reunited with EVE, while Simba rekindles the memory of Mufasa. A reminder of the films that have stood by us since childhood, but also those we discover with the next generation. The stories chosen by the creators.
To stage these stories, the performance blends video projections, lasers, lighting effects, and pyrotechnics. The imagery traces the contours of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, which keeps changing its look as the scenes unfold. The most dynamic passages sit beside quieter moments, with room for songs and character reunions as well.
The hallmark of Disney Tales of Magic reveals itself along Main Street, U.S.A. The street becomes Cinderella’s ballroom, then channels a London mood with Mary Poppins, and finally morphs into a space base for Buzz Lightyear. Zurg better watch out! This staging, developed with the participation of NorthHouse, stretches the set design and sound effects to both sides of the audience. The show is viewed not only straight ahead but all around you — the backstage of the projections.
On the music side, the bande-son brings together more than twenty Disney and Pixar tunes reworked for the show. It also includes "Live in Magic," an original song performed in French and English by Noémie Legrand, backed by a hundred-strong orchestra recorded in London. The arrangements vary, but a few notes are often enough to summon a chorus you still know by heart.
Access to Disney Tales of Magic is included with a valid Disneyland Park ticket. Hours vary by day and can be checked in the official app. The show runs every evening, weather permitting and subject to any schedule adjustments. Central Plaza places you with a head-on view of the castle, while Main Street, U.S.A. offers a vantage point along the animated façades. A premium seating option is available, subject to availability. Hours and practical information.
The question is which chorus will accompany you on the way back!
