Title: Season of the Force (January - March '17)
Post by: Rocketeer on November 30, 2016, 03:57:52 PM
Details for the upcoming Season of the Force events.

QuoteFrom 14 January to 26 March 2017, Disneyland® Paris will host THE SEASON OF THE FORCE, a unique celebration of the galactic saga.

Imagine a one-time- only experience, coming face-to- face with Captain Phasma or a stormtrooper patrol; imagine activities designed to transport guests to a galaxy far, far away; imagine an evening show performed under the stars, to the backdrop of imposing architecture.

"a breath-taking spectacle of light and sound featuring projections and special effects, along with many more surprises"
A daily show, "which puts the spotlight on a number of iconic characters from the saga, such as Darth Vader and Kylo Ren, to name but a few."

Yeah it seems that way. I saw on face book a picture of the timetable. Every show has an English and French show. For example today the park closes at 20:00 the English show is 18:45 and the French one at 19:45

I'm stll on the fence about it. Yes, its a clever use of La ToT, but I was expecting a bit more. What that is, I don't know. Maybe Dreams! has put the expectation too high when it comes to these types of shows.

Also, I wonder how this looks from Frontierland or up in the Cabane du Robinson.

I am with you regarding expecting a bit more...... Maybe when there it will feel a bit better with the atmosphere etc. On another note those that do not want to wait for hours, will they be able to see the characters on the stage.

On the plus side it's nice to have an addition in the Studios.

Only just over 3 weeks until we go....

We went on Saturday, it's really impressive in person, especially the surround sound effects.

We saw it on Saturday as well. It's a great mixture of projections, fireworks and live performances. Nothing like Dreams, but in a good way. I asked a very nice cast member in the Park what time to head over to the Studios for the show. She told me there were 2 shows but failed to mention that one was in English and one in French so we ended up watching the French one. I don't understand a word of French and I still loved it, so I can only imagine how much more I would have enjoyed it in English. Lastly may I say it was very heart warming to see Carrie Fischer in the show, kind of sad timing.

I'm hoping that Carrie gets a cheer and/or applause when she first appears in the show.

Looking forward to seeing the Seasons of the Force stuff in a couple of weeks...

Does anyone know if this content is drawing more people into the parks, especially WDS, during the low season? I really hope it's delivering value for money for the company.

Also, random thought... Does the Tower of Terror operate during Galactic Celebration the show or does it stop running?

Think read somewhere it closes 1 hour prior so they can set up.

In the Programme for next week there's 2 shows planned for saturday and sunday like you said, but on weekdays there's only one show scheduled. Does any one know it that one will be in English, French or a mix of both?

Thanks! The language flags were missing on the programme of last week. So the weekday ones are in English. Luckily! :)

I've just come back from Disney and watched the Tower of Terror show on Friday the 17th. It was incredible in person. The use of lasers for light sabers and force powers and fireworks for blaster shots was really clever and the scale of everything felt so huge. It was also really cool to see "real" humans in costumes on stage during the show too. Definitely felt different to Dreams.

Also, a small point, but I am an actor in Rogue One (basically an extra but I had a couple of lines) and was amazed to see myself in the show in the back of one of the shots! Couldn't believe it! Now I can say that I've been in a Disneyland Paris show! lol  :P ;D 8)
