Last week, I visited Disneyland Paris. I've previously posted about the "Star Wars" events taking place at the theme park. I also posted about the 25th anniversary parade at Disneyland Paris. This post focuses on the 25th anniversary illuminations. The illuminations showcased some of Disney's popular animations and films, including the "Star Wars" films that they acquired a few years ago. Animations were projected onto the castle, and the fireworks and fountains made the show come to life. They had a 25th anniversary special at the end. On the Sunday, which was St Patrick's Day, they also turned the castle green.
The illuminsations show starts just before closing at 8:00pm. I actually got there almost an hour before to nab a place near the front of the castle, but it was already becoming packed. If you want a good chance to view it in a good place, I suggest at least arriving at least half an hour before to nab a place. Also, it does get busy as a lot of people stay for this before leaving the park.
Mickey Mouse followed through with the complete animation sequence. Some of the animations were tributes to the princesses, "The Little Mermaid", "Finding Nemo", "Frozen", "The Lion King", and "Beauty and the Beast".
Have you ever seen the Disneyland Paris illuminations?
