Dreams was just confirmed to have a totally new replacement show for the Christmas season, starting November 10th.
is there a link to the announcement?
Nothing on the English sites yet, however http://seasons.disneylandparis.com/befr/xmas.php (http://seasons.disneylandparis.com/befr/xmas.php%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
On the official Belgian site :) some nice images there too.
The Walt Disney Travel Company site seems to think Fantillusion and the stage show are back too

I think we called that one as wrong earlier though. Strange to see it on a few week/day old page.
Even more excited to go now, it looks amazing! I really hope that we've all been mis-informed and that all the things on The Walt Disney Company page are correct as most of these were reasons I booked for Christmas in the first place, but unfortunately I have a gut feeling that in this case they're wrong :0(
It doesn't mention Disney Dreams on the Walt Disney Company page and i thought that was supposed to be on over the Christmas season with a new sequence. I think it has got to be an wrong, but it shouldn't be.
DLP are confirming its a new show using Dreams tech not just an addition and it'll be instead of Dreams :)
So mickeys wonderland, fantilusion, ShellieMay, Christmas Cavalade and new dreams?m
Sounds good to me ;)
Ok, well now I'm super jealous of everyone going over the Christmas Season now :D
Especially as I timed my 'Halloween' trip completely wrong and we leave on the 4th and it starts on the 5th :evil: :roll:
On the Belgian site it mentions the Christmas Cavalcade, New Disney Dreams fete Noel and Father Christmas Village. I can't read French but i can't see anything about Fantillusion or Mickeys Winter Wonderland and I'm going with the Belgian site.
Yeah I thought that the season started on the 9th not the 10th, so I'm a bit annoyed. lol
I'm guessing that the Frozen section of Dreams will be like a pre-show at the start with all Christmas theme rather than an addition within the show?
I hope it will be more "snow effects" than anything since the film isn't out yet at that point!
Yeah, I hope to go for the start of the season to see the new characters of Anna and Elsa on parade and also just for the season.
But it does seem a shame that I've heard nothing of Belle's Christmas Village... anyone can confirm if its coming back or not?
No Fantillusion or Winter Wonderland this year. Christmas Dreams! is replacing Dreams! for the Christmas season. They have Winter Dreams! in Disneyland California planned, which I'm guessing is the same show, pretty much. Here's Steve Davison talking about the US version...

Looks promising, can't wait. Disney Dreams and Christmas Dreams are going to run and run.
Shame there are no shows this year apart from Dreams
The French Disneyland Paris PR site includes this information (translated from French):

Is it just me or are DLRP completely disorganised? We are all keen fans on the site, but we have to scramble around to pick up morsels of information, some of which seems to be a couple of years late!! wherever we can find it!!
Should we not expect a major commercial operation like DLRP to be able to release public information on the various language websites at the same time?
Amateur bumbling incompetence is how I would describe the PR department and the way they get their messages across to us!
What do you think?
Omg that sounds amazing :D I'm so excited now!
getting excited for our Christmas Disney :santa: me and mum watched Dreams for the first time on youtube today, cant wait for the Christmas version. Looking forward to all the trip reports from October and November so we can see just what Disney has planned for this Christmas season. As Im the so called Disney expert mum is relying on me to plan the trip and get all the need to know info :minnie:

The site that's wrong stating fanti etc wasn't even saying that two weeks ago, so it isn't as though its historically out of date, it's just plain wrong.
I hope nobody booked a holiday on the strength of The Walt Disney Company page, hoping to see Fantillusion and Mickey's Winter Wonderland. Anyway Christmas sounds good with a new Christmas tree at last and Disney Dreams Christmas party with Bambi and Fantasia.

I'll give the number a bell tomorrow and see what they say to it, I imagine they don't know its wrong.
Oh it's Bambi and Fantasia, I get it now :o
Good luck with the call Trekkie101. The question we should ask is why was it wrong? How can an organisation as slick as Disney is in the US be so incompetent in Europe?
They apologised on the phone and assured me that a new updated version will be up soon, possibly as soon as tonight.
At least they're dealing with it.

Thanks for ringing and letting them know. Us DLP fans who follow the resort closely on the forum and take in all the information thought it had to be wrong, but for people who don't visit the forum and booking a holiday it was misleading.
After reading this I am looking more forward to this christmas trip than any of our others. We were luckly enough to be there for the opening of Dreams, I will always remember the faces of my kids. Hopefully the Christmas Dreams will be the same. :D
Worth noting some of this is likely to cross over to "Disney Dreams of Christmas" in DLP :)
I've merged the two Winter Dreams! topics to one. :)
I've updated the topic title to the official name: Disney's Dreams of Christmas.
I do wonder if Dreams Xmas will include use of the winter lights also? That could be fun :)
Hope the lighting ceremony is in tact too :) it's cheery to see.
The programming for Dreams of Christmas has started tonight.
"[Exclusivité] Alors que la saison du Noël Enchanté Disney ne commence que dans moins de 2 mois, la programmation de nuit du nouveau spectacle "Disney Dreams! fête Noël" va bon train.

Are those light ears hats still in operation for Disney dreams?
As far as I know yes they are, Disney are still advertising them in their daily guides and programs for the parks.
Another picture of Dreams of Christmas testing has been posted on Facebook.

Thanks for the video of chrismas dreams. I don't know yet, I think that I the normal dreams more beautiful is. But maybe when you see at the park with Christmas is better.
All I'm going to say as I don't want to spoil it for others is I hope Frozen doesn't flop
I wanted to see frozen anyways, but the show makes me wanna see it even more

beautiful pictures, thanks!!
I can't wait to see this on Monday :)
Wow :o
i found the original dreams better than the christmas version, but i'm gone see the movie frozen anyway
Some very nice photos there :)
I did'nt think that the Christmas version was as good as "ordinary" Dreams and I wonder why DLRP would take such a risk, basing the show on an unreleased film? Imagine watching this show next year if Frozen had been consigned to an early DVD release and DLRP could'nt afford to update it!
The same thing applies to Disney Magic on Parade, amending the princess float, dumping Ariel and Tiana for two lovely ladies that no one currently knows! How will the frozen float look on a baking hot August day?
I haven't seen it in person only the "ordinary" Dreams and for sure Disney Dreams of Christmas doesn't look as spectacular with less fireworks, but I've only seen it on video. Full marks to them for coming up with a Christmas version of the show and personally i think using Frozen in the show is a good way for Disney to push the film. It does work for me, there's lots of snow and ice in the film ( I've not seen it ) a snowman, it does fit with winter time and Christmas. They're creating synerg between the movie studios and the theme parks, that's what it's about these days. I suppose there is a risk if the film flops but Disney will be hoping like hell that it doesn't and i have high hopes for it coming after Tangled.

I would hope that Ariel and Tiana would come back in the hotter times. Surely they havent rebuilt the Ariel Tianna float just to make the Frozen one? (Sorry I have yet to see the parade in either form, Ive been banned from watching videos until after our visit next week)
I did'nt know if I should reply before your visit, so don't read on if you don't want to know before you go!
The float has indeed been rebuilt for frozen, the front has been amended but the back still has the swing with Rapunzel on it. Have a great visit.

Aww now youve gone and spoiled it ;D . Kidding, actually Id rather know before for me half the anticipation is knowing what Im going to find, thats why I come on the forum. My wife likes the surprise so I wont be telling her. I wonder if that portion of the float is interchangeable so they can swap between Frozen and the ladies. Be interesting to see what happens when the weather improves.
