After the success of the Mary Poppins and Sleeping Beauty happening - plans are underway for a new happening to launch in November this year.
The Snow White happening, temporarily called "Snow White - I'm wishing" will feature Snow White, her prince, the 7 dwarfs and possible the Evil Queen....
Plans are being made to have this show play on the old castle stage, unused for shows since Winnie the Pooh departed a few years ago.
More Soon......
Hooray for the use of the castle stage! Will be interesting to see, and very successful I'm sure if it follows in the same vain as the other two happenings.
This sounds like it could be really cool, I love Snow White! and nicely timed with the new DVD/Bluray release this coming Christmas... ;)
That's interesting... I thought the castle stage was unsafe?
That would be really good! I am guessing this would probably be happening in the afternoons or evenings since princess meet and greets usually take place on the castle stage from about 10am until 12 or 1 pm!
ooo im not a big princess fan but i love any kind of show the mary poppins show was good so i hope it is like that
This would be great news if a show like this happened :D
Wow, this is great news. One more reason for me to go this November hehe :mrgreen:
That would be absolutely brilliant if they could put that on the formal schedule.. :D/ :D/ :D/
I dare not say anything yet to Jen, just in case.. :shock: :shock:
Or basically my life would not be worth living if it never happened.. :mrgreen:

was my thought too, the new Diamond Edition is released in France in October.
Cool, but could we please see a return of the Dapper Dans and a piano player at Casey's; gun fights and cavelry rides through Frontierland (as well as the gamblers and bands on the MArk Twain) and sword fights in Tomorrowland.
Disney has started to become so girly.
Hooray for Snow White and the Castle Stage. I hope this turns out to be more than just a rumour. I've often thought the castle stage should be used for shows again as originally intended, not just left to go to waste. We enjoyed Mary Poppins, I hope Snow White turns out to be as good and put the castle stage back to use.
Yay fantastic news! I SO hope it's true! [-o< Do you think there will be a meet and greet after if it does happen? I've always wanted a photo with the Evil Queen lol! ;)

She is often out for meet and greets at Halloween.
davewasbaloo i so agree with you it is becoming girly :( come on lets get more for the guys haha that is not about a pirate hehe how about a robot or somthing hehe
but i do think the shoe could be good like i said earlyer mary poppins was pretty awsome haha and i never got to see sleeping beauty :( but who knows could be good :D :D :D
Oh ya, I think this could be cool. I love the Mary Poppins show, and the Sleeping BEauty one is alright (but I preferred Merlin). I just think Disney is becoming super feminine when there used to be a lot of masculine offerings in the past.

Well, on the other hand, Disney parks have always been very boyish — trains, cowboys, Indians, astronauts: Walt — so maybe things are finally turning around a little.
But that's fair and objective me talking. Selfish me would much rather see the princess crap booted in favor of Merlin too.
I loved the Aurora Show in December! :) I like such shows where you can interact with the characters afterwards and have your photo taken with, so I think something with Snow White would be just great!
I just hope they'll also create a show with Belle when the DVD will be re-released :mrgreen:

oh you beat me to it! how very exciting! i really hope they use the queen!! or the hag :D/
:shock: Are they really considering using the stage again.... :shock:
Just have to keep on to my chair for not falling...
Great news, thanks for sharing Poppy :D
I like the Mary P. show a lot, Cinderella is ok for the little girls.
The Merlin was a better addition i my opinion.

I hope they use both!
They're going to use the Castle Stage again!!! :shock: :D/ =D>
This is great news, not just for the use of the under-used stage, but also for the show itself. These little 'happenings' have proven to be very popular little surprises over the last few years, and I expect this to follow the trend too.
Although the release of the Diamond edition of the film on DVD and Blu Ray at the same time does bring up an interesting debate; was this planned purely to tie in with the release, or would it have happened even if the film was being re-released? :-k

I have a hunch this wouldn't have been planned without the DVD/Bluray release coming up.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled this is going to happen, and whilst it would be nice to think that DLP were planning this for a long time, I think it's unlikely.
Me and DD would love this and like others said perfect timing for the re-release of the DVD. I do hope it does start in November as we are there from 1st December :D
Is it confirmed or just a rumour?
First photos of the event.

Even if the show is rather small (and does apparently re-use a lot of old music) it's a great start for getting life back to the stage, and very nice to see all seven dwarfs together.
Nicely timed for the release of the film.. Expecting my box set anytime now :D
I'm guessing they have kept it short as a long show in this location may induce frost bite whilst watching
As Anthony says though I have to agree its good to see the stage being used again..

Latest Programme (//http://news.disneylandparis.co.uk/UK/EN/Neutral/Images/ShowsAndParades.pdf) confirms the event is titled
Snow White: Happily Ever After.

I think you're being generous! They wouldn't run Fantillusion if that were the case. More like 8 minutes is just the standard length that seems to work for these kind of shows. Although I still wonder - how is the audience reacting? Given that unlike Mary Poppins or Sleeping Beauty they're actually seated in a theatre for this show, you'd think expectations would be higher than a few wheelbarrows... :?
Wow so its definately happening then.....typical the one year i don't go for November :roll: :P

At least I can stamp my feet a bit and move a bit in Fantilussion :)
Have to agree though a few wheelbarrows and no stage dressing is a bit :-"
I take it theres no actual voice performance either and its just a mimed event.. Still its still a step in the right direction..
The reason this show and Sleeping Beauty/Mary Poppins are short is of course due to money.
A "happening" is classed as an event under 11 minutes - if the run-time goes over 11 minutes it is classed as a show! Not a major problem, expect performers who do 3 or more shows per year, get a premium in their pay, so if these happenings were longer more and more performers would have to get this premium, which would apparently affect the epc budget greatly! :roll:
Saw this show last week and it was really sweet, my daughter loved it...would be nice if some of it was in English though.
There's some official footage of the show 1 minute into this video:

Since yesterday "The Hag" has joined the show!
In a new sequence she arrives on-stage with her apple.... tempting Snow White to take a bite - she does and dies! Lying on a new white plynth she awaits true loves kiss from her prince to awaken her from her fate!
This new sequence and ending really improves the show!
Thanks for the news!
