Disneyland - Special festivities to enrich the existing offer, for even more magic

By Mulder, 25 january 2022

In addition to the festivities developed especially for the 30th Anniversary, visitors will be able to continue to enjoy the existing offer with their family or friends: more than 50 attractions for everyone, whether they are eager for thrills, escapism or enchanted interludes, "Selfie spots" photo points for interactions with the Disney Characters and the many shows such as Mickey and the Magician (from spring/summer 2022), Disney Junior's Dream Factory, Disney Stars on Parade (which made its grand return at the beginning of January 2022 after almost two years of absence) or Disney Illuminations to immerse yourself in the heart of Disney stories, including Pixar and Star Wars™, of yesterday and today.

New fairy gardens that celebrate the nature and diversity of Disney and Pixar characters:  Fairy Gardens - consisting of 10 themed gardens - will make their debut in Disneyland Park. Installed in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, the gardens will feature 30 never-before-seen works of art. These kinetic sculptures will celebrate nature and embody the diversity of the Disney and Pixar Characters, offering visitors a truly enchanted walk. Each of these unique pieces was designed thanks to the expertise and creativity of the Park's Horticulture and Entertainment teams, and then produced by local artisans whose know-how has been contributing to the Disneyland Paris experience for many years.

These 30 works of art with multiple inspirations - from children's windmills to the world of Salvador Dali, for example - grouped into 10 themed gardens, will represent a wide variety of Disney and Pixar Characters, from Princesses to Villains. For example, the Asian Garden will feature Baymax (The New Heroes), Mushu (Mulan) and Sisu (Raya and the Last Dragon). 

The 3D modeling and handcrafted production of these 30 works of art were carried out in collaboration with 3 French companies expert in set production, all located in the Ile-de-France region. These companies, composed of engineers, technicians and painters, worked on the creation of these Fairy Gardens in collaboration with Yves Ollier, Artistic Director and Scenic Designer at Disneyland Paris. The video report above, presents the backstage of this creation.

The Disneyland Park will also be redecorated around the "iridescent" theme, with sparkling shades of blue and purple. Lighting effects, neon lights and backlit kinetic mobiles will be used in the various main areas of Disneyland Park, such as the Gazebo and the Main Street U.S.A. Station, as well as Disney Village.

Disneyland Paris is the largest garden in Europe, covering an area of 2,230 hectares. With more than 35,000 trees, 450,000 shrubs and more than 1 million flowers planted each year, this kingdom of nature sublimates the Park to the rhythm of the seasons and celebrations. In all, a hundred or so Cast Members, true "show gardeners", shape and maintain exceptional vegetation straight out of Walt Disney's imagination and help bring the dream to life. Disneyland Paris also has 9 horticultural professions, arborists, an irrigation system with 6,000 km of pipes that is unique in Europe, not to mention the famous indoor plants that enhance the 7 Disney Hotels. The Horticulture Department's teams play a vital role in the continued success of Disneyland Paris, with a mission to go ever further in creativity. And, more generally, the environment and nature are at the heart of the destination's daily life through a long-standing commitment to environmental management. To learn more, click HERE
