We have a couple of topics discussing Duffy and Fantillusion but no dedicated Christmas 2011 topic it seems... so here we go! Please now keep all news and discussion of the upcoming season here!

Remember --- We have a special forum for personal Trip Planning queries!



Duffy the Disney Bear will be arriving for character appearances and as part of the Dreams of Christmas add-on to Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade. Disney's Fantillusion will return to the parade route, as will Mickey's Winter Wonderland at The Chaparral Theater, Father Christmas Village in Frontierland and Belle's Christmas Village in Fantasyland. A new show titled Princess Aurora's Christmas Wish will take place on the Central Plaza Stage.

"it's a small world" Celebration will also return to mark end-of-year celebrations for cultures around the world, while Santa Goofy will be meeting guests on Town Square and the Disney Princesses will be settling in to their warm new Princess Pavilion. No events whatsoever have been publicised for Walt Disney Studios Park...

On New Year's Eve, the parks will remain open until 1am with three fireworks shows bringing 2012 in with a bang over Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and, for a second year, Lake Disney in Disney Village.

Apparently the Castle's lighting system will also be updated to new LED technology, capable of changing colour and brightness. Anyone know more about that?

Princess Aurora's Christmas Wish sounds like a nice addition. For the past few years the castle lighting has just been tacked onto the end of the final performance of whatever show's running on Central Plaza. Here's the press blurb:

QuotePrincess Aurora's Christmas Wish

From 7 November 2011 to 8 January 2012, a brand new "magical moment" awaits visitors in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, celebrating Christmas every day. As the Royal Court opens the ball, the three godmothers accompany Princess Aurora and Prince Philip as they enter, passing through a guard of honour. The princely couple waltz in the courtyard while the godmothers, distracted as ever, argue about the colour of the castle. They end up deciding to combine their power, and with a wave of their wands, transform the castle roofs into a shining myriad of lights.

And in keeping with tradition, Princess Aurora makes her Christmas wishes, bringing this magical moment to a close. It's an unmissable enchanted moment!

Venue: Central Plaza – Main Street, U.S.A. - Disneyland Park
Apparently the castle has brand new LED lights?

That sounds fabulous! I now understand their ability to change colour, I imagine the "icicles" will change from pink to blue with the swish of Flora and Merryweather's wands.

This does sound like a really nice edition to the normal Christmas theme

I'll be there from the 5th-9th December, and what I'm looking forward to most this year is Aurora's Christmas Wish! I can't wait to see how they play the Castle changing colours! Looks like it will be the last year to see Fantillusion though, a parade that's been running since my first ever DLRP trip, so will be sad to see it go. (Let's hope we get something even more spectacular for next year) Bring on the Christmas season!! :D

Via the Disneyland Paris Cast Member Blog:

Duffy has arrived in stores!
These pictures were taken at Storybook Store, Emporium didn't sell any. According to an Emporium cast member, they also sell Duffy at Sir Mickey's.
