Original post by Festival Disney:
Chartecters Photo Blog have posted this interesting photo of some fountains, possibly like those used in Fantasmic/World of Color, being tested yesterday in the castle moat behind Le Theatre de Chateau. They say it's going to be something for the 20th Anniversary next year. Are we possibly seeing a night time show created for the castle stage?
Thoughts?

this is looking good. with peter pan and tarzan shows this year, i think the 20th will see a fountain show along the entire moat, and hopefully the return of more shows which have been missing for so long.
I read this on twitter, about testings for the 20th annversary but didn't know exactly what it was about.
Can you imagine the possibilities? A fantasmic-like show with actors on the castle stage, fountains in the moat and (if we're lucky) fireworks behind the castle. I'm looking foward to reading more about this.
If this is going to be something big, I don't think the castle stage will be used. The space in front of the stage is too small to accomodate many people.
So one moment we're all lead to believe the castle stage is getting demolished, and now it's about to host World of Color? Rumors sure are flying about.
Ah ha! Maybe this is what it's all about. Maybe the castle theatre will be removed so that people can see this little fountain show. It obviously wouldn't be as big as the World of Colour, but if they had a few fountains and combine it with a few projections on the castle walls, it would be rather nice.
That's just conjecture, of course.
Well that's the location they're testing at, as the Castle Stage is currently fenced off. I assume that if they do decide to carry out something like WoC it wouldn't be at this location, I just noted they look like the same type of fountains used in WoC.
I can't even see DLP being able to afford WoC.
Well it would have to be a cheaper version, of course. :) They could just use projectors that they already have to project images on the castle wall and do a bit of dancing in front on the stage.
Then again, it could just be a pretty little fountain. :P
Plus Woc is played in a huge lake, when I made references earlier I simply meant Woc/Fantasmic-like fountain effects.
Yeah, I'm probably just getting excited over nothing. ^_^ I was just imagining it as projections on a few fountains to serve as the backdrop of a show in front.
If that is what they're doing, then that doesn't sound like nothing to me. A fountain show in front of the castle, has such a thing ever been done before? And think of the technological advances Disney has made in that area. A handful of World of Color fountains and a Fantasmic! mist screen is enough to get me excited.
Who knows, they might be planning a great little 20th Anniversary show to make up for the lack of new rides.
Quote from: "pussinboots"A handful of World of Color fountains and a Fantasmic! mist screen is enough to get me excited.
Exactly! I'm really excited to hear more about this.
If this actually was happening, it would definitely be worth seeing. Although, there is a big problem with this theory...
(//http://www.photosmagiques.com/gallery/disneyland_park/fantasyland/le_theatre_du_chateau/DSC07192.JPG)
...which is that you can't really see the water from the stage. I suppose the fountain effect would need to be very high.
Although it is great that Disney brings a show that uses fountains to Paris, I wouldn't get too excited. We are still talking about Disneyland Paris and we know that plans can change quickly. Nevertheless I hope that show turns into reality and will be great.
Quote from: "Meph"you can't really see the water from the stage. I suppose the fountain effect would need to be very high.
The water mist screens in Fantasmic reach around 30-40ft high!
And actually, the only water area big enough for WoC or fantasmic is lake Disney, so a new area would have to be built. Thats why I think these are just for part of a show
I think WoC is very big for the moat but a show like Fantasmic! is actually nice and can fit the moat around the castle. That would be very nice since they can also project images on the castle not needing the mist screens. Just the fountains and the stage.
I wouldn´t think that BIG. Maybe they test it in this calm area and make the show in front of the castle. And maybe we only see one effect of another central plaza stage show or maybe (we can pray for it) we see a totally new disney show which mix diffrent effects to something totally new like a mix of some effects of WoC, fantasmic and - don´t forget disney´s newest projection shows - "Disney's The Magic Memories and You!" at Disneyland and MK/WDW.

Wouldn't a fountain show right up by the castle cause problem with its paintwork? If they had really tall fountains shooting up by the castle every night, surely the castle would get soaked!
I agree, I was worried about a fountain show and the castle getting soaked, it would ruin all the nice new paint work. Then I thought of the rain.
Tokyo Disneyland had the Cool the Heat show that featured huge fountains and water cannons launching in front and from their Castle.
See the craziness:

New color for the castle maybe count with it - new colours for castle looks like the water leak from the ground to the walls. ;)
If the castle was going to be ruined by a little water from a fountain wouldn't it get ruined by heavy rainfall? I'm sure it wouldn't affect it too much.
I won't get excited until something is confirmed. Because as someone else said things have a tendency to change at DLP and things we think are going to be big never end up happening. *sigh*
A little off topic, but firstly I hadn't seen the beautiful Magic, The Memories and You on iasw, that is much more magical than the one at WDW, looks really professional and if you were passing, like something magical is happening to the building.
I've also liked Cool the Heat since it started, it'd never fit Paris due to the weather, but the energy the audience gets and the sheer comedy value of the massive geysers is just something which has always amazed me.
I'd love for these fountains to be intergrated into a show of some form, a water version of what HKDL is doing for their 5th Anniversary would be very pretty and magical. I'll make sure I keep an eye on developments!
Thing is, those fountains are all either from the castle or from the stage IN FRONT of the stage. Also if this did damage the castle, there would be something wrong
I would go for simple fountains to make the area more peaceful and interesting for walkers by, I think its one of those plussing features, I wouldnt count an attraction itself! :) I like it though!
According to Mrs. Pot from Micechat.com, the fountains have already been removed.
Oh. But if they're not going to use them yet, then that does make sense. We'll probably see them back again later in the year.
I think we're on the money here. Disney sure has tried and tested this technology so Paris culminating all the advances and techniques into one show sounds ideal. An obvious progression?
the fact they even paid to bring one of these in for testing is surely a good sign. the future is looking good
But we shouldn't rule out the possibility that it could just be a pretty fountain as part of the refurbishment. XD
I don't think it is, though, because I don't think they would have so many together in such a configuration. It does look like the sort of fountains at WoC.
There was a comment on DLRP Today trying to dampen (get it?) excitement already by saying such a small base won't provide many fountains, etc. Obviously we're not going to see the whole World of Color suddenly shooting up in the castle moat... But anyway you don't really need a large number of fountains to give an impressive effect. World of Color only needs so many because they're the whole show.
Did anyone happen to see Kylie Minogue's recent tour? The finale uses actual World of Color fountains embedded in the stage. There are only about 12, but the effect is spectacular. Skip to about 2min 30:
[youtube:1vk09o6n]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOU7ICAPMq0[/youtube:1vk09o6n]
(Not my video, although it was the show I saw - I was nearer the front screaming)
I've wished for some kind of show using fountains in the moat since even before World of Color. I can't believe that it might actually be happening... wow!
I'm really excited about the prospect of fountains being incorporated into a new show, and I agree with Anthony, I too saw the Kylie show (AMAZING!) and even a relatively modest amount of fountains can be just as effective as hundreds.
Fountains (especially if lit up at night) make a perfect firework equivalent, especially at DLRP, where it's the noise disrupting locals that causes so little fireworks to be used.
Just think - although this is mabye wishful thinking - could we see a Tinker Bell-esque trail arch over the castle in glittering water form rather than sparkling firework?
The sound issue sure must be a deciding factor. And the cheapness of it too. Projections also, it's just the initial set up cost that's expensive. I wouldn't rule out other effects too just yet. Likely they'll combine a lot of pyro and other lively effects to give a more rounded production. There's a lot of space in CP for them to push the boat out.
Love the video Anthony. What a show that was :0
We've got some more pictures from DLRPTeam.

Looks like some tarp surrounding one of the speakers/lighting posts down the west side of the Central Plaza.

i thought the fountains were removed last week? why are they wiring up the moat, it looks to me like they're putting more in!
so many questions!!!!

This may be an interesting option for a daytime version of the show (or use of the show's pipes) since there is still a real lack of water rides during the summer at DLP.
It looks fantastic and hopefully they will put the Disney magic on the fountains and possible be dancing fountains, or a light display fountain show!?
check this fountain show we had at our hotel in Europa Park last month. The audio is low in this person's video, but it gives you an idea of what a few fountains can do. Imagine if they did something with this at the castle? Now if we can get Steve Davison tied in, then I would get excited. He is the reason all the other resorts have such amazing nightime shows and I do not think he has ever done anything for DLP. From about 50 seconds in.

The dream that you wish will come true :thumbs:
So now we've been officially told that Fantillusion won't return next year, what are the rumours about a new show? What are peoples general ideas/feelings about it? Its got to amazing as its the 20th year etc and I know they've been testing the fountains by the castle so do you think that will have something to do with it?
I personally love Fantasmic and would like to see if that could be adapted for DLRP a bit maybe...??
This has probably been discussed to death in other topics so I apologise in advance.
do you happen to know roughly when the last showing will be? Ill be sad to see it go but excited about a new night time parade as this parade has been there since my first visit 7 years ago
Has it been made official that its not coming back? I had heard rumours but not seen anything confirmed yet? Like MissDisneyisMagical said, do you know when it ends?
i would love it if there was a big show, with the zip line tinkerbell from anaheim, fountains in the moat, and things happening on both stages and perhaps mickey on one of the castle balconies. if only...
Fantillusion is going? I'm really going to miss it. It's the only Disney parade that I've seen that tells a story. Plus, it has an amazing score!
I hope they won't be bringing back the Main Street Electrical Parade, but it wouldn't surprise me, because they did that in the Magic Kingdom as well, but just added some extra LED lighting. :(
It would be great to see a brand new parade with a story like Fantillusion's!
Fantillusion is going, are we sure about that?
Well I read it on one of the disney twitter sites....?? I'd like it to be untrue because I love fantillusion.
I reported it on the podcast this week as a rumour! Could you share the link to the tweet? would be a shame to lose it unless they were replacing it with something even better!
Im trying to find it. It definately said something along the lines of 'Fantillusion starts its last season on 9th July-new show for 2012'. I read it Friday I think.
Oh no apologies people! :( I found the tweet and it says 'enchanted fireworks last season' not Fantillusion. I completely misread it! Sorry. I hope I didn't send everyone into a panic thinking this was the last time they'd get to see Fantillusion... :?
It was a tweet from @DLRPMagic.
oh thank heavens!! although there is another post stating its not appearing this christmas anyone know anything about this? im looking to book but thats really put my off
I think that might have just been suggested because of this rumour, but I'll need someone to confirm that.
A lot of work being done around central plaza, cutting trees and placing cables underground. Maybe something related to the new show?
In my opinion, they're either cutting down trees to:
• Expand the paved area, so that there's more space for people to stand.
• Or to install new towers, with lighting equipment and video projectors on them.
Instead of cutting down the trees which were designed to be a part of Main Street, a better way to give people more room to stand would be, of course, to remove the excessively large stage which is sitting atop the pavement designed for people to stand on and watch night time spectaculars... I wonder if anyone thought of that?
Fantillusion is running EVERY NIGHT in 2012 - from April. It ain't going anywhere, get ready for Fantillusion overkill. Park is open til 10pm or 11pm EVERY NIGHT! :thumbs:
And the plans for the 20th Anniversary nighttime spectacular look incredible! Think of Fantasmic, World of Colour, Wishes.... its from the maker of World of Colour and Tokyo's Fantasmic... the budget is huge... imaginations are running wild... everyone is very excited! Finally a true nighttime epic event in Paris! Get ready for all your "DREAMS" to come true! ;)

How do you know all this? hope it is true indeed. It would be great to have Fantillusion on a nightly basis or at least during weekends all year round.

Great to hear this from another source! Longer opening hours will actually be a pretty fantastic anniversary present.
wow... wow... wow... wow...wow
WOW!
but, the fantilusion floats are already struggling, how will they cope with constant use, or will they have cast members giving them a push from behind! :lol:

Agreed, we are finally going to get proper Disney hours rather than European park hours!!! :thumbs:
Great news, great news...
Long nights all year is amazing the same is Fanti every night. The few new notes regarding the new show are exciting too - cannot wait to hear more... Combining this with the great POC-news the 20th looks like a very enjoyable celebration so far :-)
I don't know if this is relevant to this discussion, but today was a red carpet event for cast only and just now at ten thirty the night sky lit up for about ten to twenty seconds with a fire work display like the finale of wishes. Can anyone find out about this event?
To me: I am a long time lurker to this forum and this is the first time a may have a scoop to add :D
All of these rumours sound amazing. I adore the fant parade and I would love to watch that daily. I am also looking forward to a water type show and I really want some amazing fireworks!!
I am expecting and amazing hub show too!!
Yay! It's great to hear that Fantillusion is staying! It's got to be the best night-time parade, if only for the soundtrack! XD
This is just a bit of conjecture, but maybe this rumour for a new parade was that they're going to be touching up the Fantillusion floats. They would look brilliant if they had something like new LED lights.
Interesting, once upon a dream is in good nick, and 2012 is going to be Disneyland parks year, so maybe it is just a plussing
Quote from: "Meph"They would look brilliant if they had something like new LED lights.
Why? Because energy efficiency is the most magical gift of all?
But the news about the longer hours is fantastic. No one should have to leave a Disney park without a proper nighttime finale.
Quote from: "pussinboots"Quote from: "Meph"They would look brilliant if they had something like new LED lights.

Take a look at the new floats of Tokyo's Electrical Dreamlight's parade which look incredible with the new LEDs.

longer hours sound fantastic and as for fantillusion im ecstatic!
Quote from: "pussinboots"Why? Because energy efficiency is the most magical gift of all?
Lol. The LEDs are usually more easily controlled, more reliable and they can be more finely placed, so the floats can be a lot more colourful. You can have loads of fade-y effects with them as well, like in dagobert's video. ;)
I don't know. LED spectacle is everywhere nowadays — at concerts, at hip hotels, in bars, at airports, at big box stores, as part of architectural projects, on billboards, in T-shirts, at conventions. Is anyone still impressed to see a wall of LEDs light up like a television screen?
I'm not saying they shouldn't use LEDs for future nighttime parades (and of course they will), but the nifty possibilities of LED certainly won't be the attraction any more than people come to see the Once Upon a Dream Parade to see large quantities of painted fiberglass.
Besides, Fantillusion! and SpectroMagic! were both technologically superior to the Main Street Electrical Parade, but surely they won't be remembered half as fondly as their predecessor. I guess my point is that techno novelty is not a good thing to hang a nighttime parade on, especially if that parade will still be performed fifteen years from now.
The Genie float is a neat idea, though.
That's a good point. I guess the old bulbs have a dated nostalgia to them, which is why they're still thought of so fondly.
But personally, it's the soundtrack that I like most of all in Fantillusion. XD That and the stronger sense of a story.

Those floats are incredible!! The genie one is amazing
Inside DLP just tweeted:
"and did you know the Central Plaza Stage will be removed in January 2012.. Forcing Mickey's Magical Celebration to finish 7 January 2012!"
WOOHOO.
I saw that, too!!! Brilliant news! :D Finally, they're going to take advantage of the brilliant purpose-built stage just to the right of the castle. I do wonder how they will fit everyone in there, though. I'm guessing they'll have to stand up.
Who saw that coming?!!
Great news, but it brings more questions, what does this mean about the works on central plaza?
So if the Magical Moments show is ending early they probably should mention that to people who are booking and expecting that show? It will be interesting to see what they do with the stage now whether they plan something new or just to rip it all out completely.
Quote from: "Columbiad"Inside DLP just tweeted:
"and did you know the Central Plaza Stage will be removed in January 2012.. Forcing Mickey's Magical Celebration to finish 7 January 2012!"
WOOHOO.
Completely removed? Or just decreased in size? Like, the removal of the four sides?
But that is awesome, i liked the stage at first, but now I don't.
Also, YAY FANTILUSSION EVERYNIGHT! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I hope there will be new floats or something to be added.
DLRPToday asked Inside DLParis:
@insidedlparis Is that removed in preparation for something new taking over Central Plaza, or removed with the plaza returned to normality?
Who replied with:
@DLRPToday A bit of both ;-)
So we shall have to wait and see... :D
Hmmm... What to think?
I think it makes it sound like something else will replace it. Not at all sure what, but considering the Imagineer's views on the Central Plaza Stage, it should be something better.

@insidedlparis: a coment "a fountain of dreams"
we are getting a FOUNTAIN based nightime show next year
went on youtube to watch the parade of dreams, and it has golden ribbons at the showstop. sound familiar?
i'll give you a hint: COUGH COUGH the 20th anniversary logo COUGH COUGH
interesting, non?
It would be so amazing if it was like the parade of dreams we have seen it and it is lovely. I hope they don't just revert to the old stage though because it was a little boring and not nearly high enough to let everyone view something. I know many people don't like the stage as it is now but at least it 's height and size allows people from all over the area to view the show.
I am VERY excited about the talk of fountain shows the EPCOT fountain show is breathtaking so something along those lines would be wonderful.

The parade of dreams was destroyed after it's run at California.
I was under the impression form previous discussion in, possibly, the OUADP thread that the parade was staying, but significant changes were coming, i.e. new music/showstop or something? As said above, Parade of Dreams is long gone, with only two floats still in existance and DL still uses one of them
So, as InsideDLParis confirmed, we are getting a fountain on Central Plaza? Sounds excellent to me.
DLPTwenty just posted something like that on Twitter as wel
http://twitter.com/#!/dlptwenty/status/ ... 3611203584 (http://twitter.com/#!/dlptwenty/status/117558543611203584%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
It's so easy to start rumours these days ;-)
Haha, I realise PoD has gone forever, but I can't help but see a suggested 'Dreams' motif everywhere! Whatever DLRP has in store, it's going to be huge.
Although it's unlikely, if Welcome (Parade of Dreams' showmode) appears in OUADP, I think I will scream with joy.
:P
Quote from: "Columbiad"So, as InsideDLParis confirmed, we are getting a fountain on Central Plaza? Sounds excellent to me.
Actually, he didn't confirm anything. We're just trying to interpret his vague implications. :P After all, it might not be what we think it is. If it's just going to be a colourful fountain in the middle of central plaza, when why have they been experimenting with fountains in the castle moat? ;) I think there's more to this than just a mini-WoC fountain.
But even if it is just that, I'll still be impressed. :D
They could be laying piping, maybe thats the works on central plaza are for
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"Okay, I've given away far too much already.... :twisted:
Yes, you have. :P Thanks! And if there's more to the night time show than just the fountain, then you've really got me excited. :D
...and sad. Why did I have to book two holidays to DLP this year? There's no way we could afford a third. XD
Wow. Thanks so much Poppy! Apart from the new name of the parade, everything sounds very promising. Hope they go for Peter Pan - it'd be a fresh change, but -
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"Say goodbye to the Power float.
WHHAAATTT??!! It's the best float of the whole parade!
Awwww I would miss the Power float :(. So where are the shows going to be presented then the castle stage?! Seems like such waste of work and funds to design and place this vast stage only to rip it out again. No wonder DLRP never has any money!!!!
Changes to the parade sound AMAZING!!!! I am slightly sick of the ouadp music now something new would be really refreshing. Fountains sound fun though!!
Wow, that all sounds amazing! I really cannot wait for it all to be confirmed! =D
If they play the "Parade of Dreams" show stop (Welcome to our family time) I think I might have a fit. XD
It all sounds really amazing, I hope that on the day of the 20th (the 12th) it will be EPIC!
and, omg, if "Dreams" will be a theme, i wonder if they'll do something like "Year of a million dreams?" =D That would be awesome for 'dream prizes' to be given. XD
Yaay, I was right about the piping!
All sounds promising, and a live performer in dreams, where will they be,
I'm just "dreaming", but could you imagine if they were on a castle balcony?
I've heard a rumour that the princesses in OUADP will each have their own horse drawn carriage instead of being on a float. I think this would be pretty cool!
Quote from: "DisneyBud"I've heard a rumour that the princesses in OUADP will each have their own horse drawn carriage instead of being on a float. I think this would be pretty cool!
Well, they'll definitely need to be somewhere since Mickey & Pals will be moving on to their old float.
I wonder if we'll get a new lead float? The current one is very much themed to DOUAD, so a new one would be a nice signal of a new parade.
As for the fountain show, that's awesome news, not only will it open the Hub back up, it'll add a new sense of elegance to the end of Main Street! I can't wait to see what they do with Dreams! Hopefully some pyro will be included too for good measure.. like a mini DisneySea Fantasmic?
Quote from: "Scissorsboi"Hopefully some pyro will be included too for good measure.. like a mini DisneySea Fantasmic?
woah, you are aiming very high there!!!
i mean, as far as i am convinced, only places that makes a profit can put on anything close to that!!
I think the choice of a fountain for the park is so perfect. Not only will it be unique to our park, but I think it continues the European spin on the Disneyland park formula, as I think a fountain in an open public space seems a very European thing.
I wonder whether it will function during the day as a regular fountain? I hope so.
And I'm so curious to find out what sort of design the fountain will take - can we expect a Victorian style that blends into Main St. USA, or a style that compliments the Fantasy-medieval castle? Or perhaps will we get some sort of bronze character(s) or statue, akin to the Partners statue ?
So many questions.
And yet, as I type this, I dread to think of the reputation of Disneyland Paris guests, and how they might mistreat a beautiful fountain....
hey, as long as it doesn't look in any way shape or form like a urinal, we might be alright.
or they could put fish in there who are trained to use tasers!
Sounds interesting to me, especially the fountain. I'm jst so happy that the ugly Central Plaza Stage will be removed. I just hope that the fountain will not look out of place.
Quote from: "Columbiad"I wonder whether it will function during the day as a regular fountain? I hope so.
I'm thinking it'll be a bit like the fountain in the middle of the Future World at Epcot. I don't think it'll shoot water too high, though, because it'll spoil the view of the castle.
Quote from: "Columbiad"And I'm so curious to find out what sort of design the fountain will take - can we expect a Victorian style that blends into Main St. USA, or a style that compliments the Fantasy-medieval castle?
Maybe even a modern fountain that incorporates something to do with the new logos? Who knows. Because of the current, very ugly main stage and the smaller 15th anniversary stage that stood before it, I can see the stonework being kept to match the castle behind it.
Then again, being a fountain, it would be a beautiful addition to Main Street...
Whatever will happen, we only have to wait until January to start seeing!
I think the theming on Central Plaza tries to be very generic and universal, so I'm guessing it'll be a design that will fit with both of them.
Not aiming high as such, just taking from other evidence! All Fantasmic's have a Mickey and he's shortlisted as one of the characters, they all use fountains, and Tokyo have recently shown that you can re-invent it to suit your park! I think we could see something with that level of spectacle - hopefully the Dreams storyline as opposed to Imagination will lead to a slightly more classy show.
As for the fountain itself, I'd imagine it'd operate as a normal fountain during the day, possibly using the fountains for street shows as they do for World of Color's right most platform, bringing it up when they do Disney Channel Rocks to add to the background scene.
they do that? could you imagine it during the parade or something, in time with the music! or it could change colour and height for each float!
[youtube:3jnwordb]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlAKDLDlo04[/youtube:3jnwordb]
See in the background, the fountains are used as a 'moving backdrop'. It would be awesome with the parade!
Fairies???? Oh my god!
Yeah I'm so coming next year, forget my year off. That is out the window.
We already have 2 fountains at dlp so wonder what theyll do with the mini fountain in the main park
Projection systems, supposedly to be used for Dreams, have appeared on top of the roofs of Gibson Girl and Casey's Corner. Already? Maybe it won't be too long until we see just how powerful parts of this spectacular will be. :D
I'm hoping they'll be retractable or well-hidden, because they're a bit of an eyesaw in the daytime in their current state. :)
The same projectors were installed in the MK earlier this year, though their "housing" ins't exactly discreet.

That looks very... Um unique.
Can't wait to see what they do!!!

Eeeeeeu. Er... Hopefully ours will be done better. The ones at MK are even more of an eyesaw than the projectors themselves. XD
i've just thought f something, what if the works are not just more pavement for viewing, but maybe they are trying something like WDW has, with a moat around central plaza. that would be spectacular
The change won't be as significant as that for a number of reasons: one, the Imagineers decided not to do that when designing the central plaza and two, that would be way too expensive. :)
We can dream
InsideDLParis has posted new pictures, piping is in place for part of the new fountain system. It looks quite hidden, I wonder how it's going to work
I hate how DLP never create excitement or suspense. I mean, we all knew about WOC a good few years before that opened and were taken through each step with videos, pictures and blog updates. I just feel we DLP fans are kept in the dark most of the time.
I think it's because they don't want people to wait for next year instead of going this year. Heck, I definitely wouldn't have gone this summer if I knew they were having this next year! XD
Yeah, me neither. But the year is almost over, and with only 6/7 months until the start of the 20th celebrations surely (if this nighttime spectacular is as spectacular as many are making out) they should start creating some hype, at least within the fan community?
Maybe they will, soon. They're well overdue on announcing anything. I'm sure they'll announce it before the end of the year, though.
they might be waiting until they have some footage or photos of the show for a press release. if they are testing it, it won't be long.
also, they are completely different cultures. the american culture is that hey something new is going on next year, but i'll still go next month. the european culture is a bit more, "i'll wait for next year".
its the 19 year long problem of mangers from US trying to fit the culture there into the culture at DLP
I'm excited for this new fountain concept show.. Although I'm wondering how spectacular it will be given that it only seems that in the past few months they have installed them..It doesn't seem that there can be a lot. (I hope I am mistaken) Also will this new night-time show also include Fantilusion or another light parade? I do hope so!
Hopefully Disney will release some spoilers for us in the near future =)
The majority of the work should commence once they can remove the central plaza stage after the Christmas season. And I think someone said Fantillusion will be part of the night. ;)
A stage free central plaza, can't wait
Ok so we stayed at the DLH from the 12th till the 17th of October and on two occasions when we were eating in inventions and the park was closed we had a view over the park and could see the castle. I saw the most amazing thing EVER. We saw fireworks on the castle and peter pan dancing up it and tinker bell spraying fairy dust etc. They turned the castle into a waterfall, there were all different projections taking place. There was a projection of the castle that looked like it was in sunlight even though it was pitch black outside. There were all different projections and then it went dark and back to normal and we only saw it on two nights. Has anyone else seen this!?
Wow, that's super exciting. Did you snap any photos by any chance?
no here's where it gets weird went to the window with my camera and the staff told me no photos were allowed?! Makes me think it was meant to be secret or something but you can't help but see it when you're in inventions as the castle is so high. It was strange I wonder if anyone else got to take any?!
I really hope it is something for next year and not just a once off random thing because it was beautiful.
Interesting theories... some are close though! All I'm saying is there is a reason why the castle was technically taken down and rebuilt this year... oh the excitement!
Aah, the suspense and speculation is driving me crazy! :lol:
Sounds great! :D
Maybe something like this...

I really hope its to the standards of the Prague Astronomy Clock Celebration - the possibilities really are endless with that sort of technology.

How long we must to wait? Thank you! ;)
yes ulak it was a little like that video. One projection turned the castle into a waterfall another looked as if the castle was in sunlight and was brightly lit. Another had tinker bell dancing over the castle spraying glitter or pixie dust or whatever, there was a projection of fireworks and one of peter pan dancing over the castle. They tested each one around ten times on both occasions.
Don't get SUPER excited because it wasn't the same but it WAS similar to this just with the projections I have described instead of the ones shown.

Thank you for answer. I very hope this show is no type show with photographs of unknown visitors from the park. I hope for show "FULL of Disney" - something like "Fantasmic". Thank you! ;) [-o<
I didn't seen any pictures of people only the projections I mentioned.
Quote from: "thebritishfrog.com"All I'm saying is there is a reason why the castle was technically taken down and rebuilt this year...!
What is that supposed to mean? :D
It sounds like the hype for this is definitely deserved!
Soooo excited for next year!!! It is going to be amazing from what I have heard.
I heard during the panel at soundsational party at disneyland from steve davison that he doing a new show for disneyland paris park 20th anniversary.
Steve is working on it, but there are concerns about the fountains as they are very much open to the elements.
I'm so suprised no one else has seen the projections I thought you'd all be talking about it before we got home. They were amazing!! I'm so excited for next year I really hope they don't let everyone down!!
They sound really exciting. I just wish we booked our holiday next summer instead of this one. :)
I found this two pictures :

On this site in bigger resolution: //http://www.projectionfreak.com/holiday-brings-ho-hum-projection-mapping
Am I mistaken, or are they the wrong way round? Surely the projectors should be pointing towards the castle. That picture looks like it's pointing towards the other side of main street???!!!!!
The source site is stating these images are from WDW, am I not correct? Either way, the projectors are very similar to those we've seen in DLRP photos. Projection Mapping seems almost certain. With the power of (hopefully) live action and of course all of the supposed water effects, Dreams could quite possibly be what we've all been waiting for Paris to deliver...
Yes, that is the Magic Kingdom, not Disneyland Paris. Our Casey's looks far better.
Quote from: "Alan"Wouldn't a fountain show right up by the castle cause problem with its paintwork? If they had really tall fountains shooting up by the castle every night, surely the castle would get soaked!
...the castle has just be rebuilt.... ;-) and extra space made available to see the castle from 'castle stage' as well.
Are you suggesting some kind of.............plan!!
There is a plan, but once again, the tests have drawn concerns of the viability. On a windless evening things will be fine. But how many of those are in DLP. Not many.
I have also been informed, the park is going to be overrun with characters. And they are trying to work the finances for the park to be open late all year, however, this will mean two shift patterns (DL in Calfiornia has 3), which is expensive. So the final decision has not yet been made.
it's looking (sounding) good so far. Although a lot of the plans for other things have been put on hold for the moment so even the peeps who work on the projects never really know 100%. Hence why fanti was totally off and now back on again for summer next year!

Yeah the late openings are flying around a lot at the moment so it does look good.
(davewasbaloo- i don't know if your in the same position but it's hard not to say more isn't! ;-) )
Indeed it is, but my sources in Burbank also are very cynical and are sure that everything will be stripped down to bare bones knowing the characters are what sell in DLP :-(
Quote from: "davewasbaloo"Indeed it is, but my sources in Burbank also are very cynical and are sure that everything will be stripped down to bare bones knowing the characters are what sell in DLP :-(
:-) good to know I'm not alone!
Mine are spread across dlp (and tend to be the same! ;-) ), it seems we're very much still in the stage of anything and everything changing all the time. It does sound fixed they won't be any performers in the show however...
Agreed. Too big a risk with the other technologies involved. And frankly I am glad. A 22 year old in rubber who will offend some nationalities by not speaking their language doesn't make sense to me in DLP. Then again I have always preferred Illuminations or Remember to Fantastmic anyway ;-)

lol!
I really hope they can get this right, new castle, reformed stage, fountain instead of hub and an evening night show without language barrier....that would tick quite a few boxes for me.
Agreed Dopeydad. They are trying, we do have to give them that. But they are facing quite a few challenges and are working with a very restricted budget compared to the other resorts around the globe.
yup, forever the optimist I'm hoping the rises in market confidence about the Eurozone might make investment/loans more likely again. Sometimes confidence returning to a really weak market makes for a really good time to invest, so maybe Rat and other ideas can get back on the table.
Fingers crossed. I too would have thought it is a no brainer for the banks right now. Other resorts are investing in Europe - the new Paramount resort in Spain, a new coaster for Parc Asterix, a new coaster and hotel for Europa Park, a new fountain show and dark ride for Efteling, a new drop ride and coaster for Alton Towers, a new Hotel for Legoland Windsor.
I know that WDI are frustrated as they have a number of great ideas for DLP, but the debt is holding them back, coupled with a lack of loans from the bank, and some senior management issues as well.
Quote from: "thebritishfrog.com"...the castle has just be rebuilt.... ;-)
I still want to know what you mean by that. XD
So much is rumour, speculation and people in the know who can't say. I'm hoping for a nighttime spectacular next year, but a fountain show, I wouldn't have thought the castle moat was big enough for anything spectacular? But then I'm not an imagineer. I'm looking forward to reading EuroDisney's end of year financial results at the begining of next month, that should give us a better idea of how things are going. keeping my fingers crossed for somthing good, but not raising my hopes. I'm very happy with all the refurbishments that have taken place this year, it must have cost them a lot, good job DLP. We didn't get a new ride but we did get a new looking park.
i very hope for some more news for next year! But i am frustrated with cuts in the same time. If they make more news (shows, FIREWORKS, ""atractions"" ect.) in the next year - i have planed 2 -3 visit for year! If not ... i dont know - maybe 1, maybe nothing :(
Hopefully they'll do the press release at the same time as the financial report.
I'd love to know just how many plans WDI actually have for dlp. We know about splash mountain, Indiana jones adventure, etc., but I'd love to see the masterplan they have for WDSP
I can't see a fountain show happening, maybe in the summer with the new fireworks show ? But not in the winter, the moat could freeze over.
ice and wind are two of the main concerns. Also similarly with the hours. Late hours are great in the summer, but in the winter, I am not sure about you, but DLP after dark is too cold. However having long hours from April to October could be good.
i like DLP after dark, wrap up well in the winter. I like summer best and Christmas is great. It's not the cold so much that bothers me, it's when it pours with heavy rain all day. But a fountain show can't really be on the cards, can it? I doubt the park would be busy enough for late hours between Christmas and Easter for a start, unless they really do have something big planned.
yes, it is really on the cards, however there have already been challenges, what will be telling are the tests over winter.

I also like DLP after dark, even when it's cold. Over here it gets really cold and so I'm used to it. After a hot tea or coffee you don't freeze anymore.
I think for people living in Northern Europe we are used to the cold in winter. Christmas and winter seem to go together to me, which is why I don't mind DLP at Christmas.
@ davewasbaloo
I bet they've had some challenges with the fountain. Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing it. Where will it be in the castle moat?
You guys are heartier than me. I have lived in Northern Europe for 25 years now, I still cannot cope with a cold day in a theme park. As it is, we were at Legoland and Chessington earlier this week, and despite wrapping up, and it being somewhat mild, I was still freezing. We have done DLP in the winter a couple of times, but unlikely to ever do it again. No thanks.
It's that Californian blood I guess DWB
Yep, we are thin blooded I suppose ;-)
This is from the new brochure:
QuoteDisney Dreams
Sleeping Beauty Castle will see spectacular flights of fancy wrapped around it as Peter Pan's shadow escapes to bring you the rainbow reality of "Dreams" - our unmissable new nighttime spectacular show. This world premiere follows his adventure as he weaves his way between timeless Disney Stories, dashing through incredible lasers, fantastic fountains and peaking in an extraordinary finale.
Hours will be extended from April to September.
Yay!!!! That's exactly what we saw! It was so pretty!!
Sounds great. So they'll be performing Dreams from April through to September, and not just in the two Summer months of July and August?
An actual storyline !
Quote from: "Alan"Sounds great. So they'll be performing Dreams from April through to September, and not just in the two Summer months of July and August?
Just checking the brochure again and it does just say "from 1st April" on the page of 20th Anniversary Events so I guess so!
(Other events: Disney Magic on Parade ("a fantastic new carnival"), Main Street USA Celebrates (with lots of lights!) and Meet Mickey Mouse (in Fantasyland).
So the Mickey meet'n'greet in the Festival Stage is on then, that's good. I hope they do a proper job with the interior.
Dreams: "Sleeping Beaty Castle will see spectacular flights of fantasy wrapped around it". Sounds a bit like Tinkerbell Castle Illuminatins at HKDL.
Surely it should be all season long though and not just April-September. Normally the yearly themes shows etc play all year?! Like with this years it has played from April until January but only because of works or it would likely have carried on until March ish time.
Yes, but we only get late nights, fireworks and Fantillusion in the summer normally, July-August. I'm sure the 20th celebations will last all year, maybe 18 months.
Yeh that more like it. The late nights sound good from April though they don't normally do that. I'm so excited to see what they actually do and whether it lives up to the hype!!
So Dreams will not be on during october. What a friggin let down!
they might do it october half term and at christmas holidays, just not on a daily basis
Quote from: "peter"they might do it october half term and at christmas holidays, just not on a daily basis
Well I think its pointless, they should have it all year round. It's not like they can't use it because it upsets the locals like the fireworks.
It's most likely because it will be too cold for the new fountain(s).
I have just been told Dreams will run daily from 1st April. So it will be on all year round during the 20th.
Quote from: "Alan"Sounds great. So they'll be performing Dreams from April through to September, and not just in the two Summer months of July and August?
Dreams will be performed all year round with extended hours during the months when it's not dark enough to perform it. It's now 5.30 pm here and it's pitch dark outside, so no need to extend the park hours in October and beyond.
The show is designed by the people that did World of Colour, so no messy Disneyland Paris Entertainment situations. Unlike World of Colour though, we might see some pyro in it. ;)
Oh and this has probably been said before, but the entire Central Plaza is being re-designed to allow as much as possible people to enjoy the show, which will include the demolition of the Central Plaza stage.
Can somebody please post a link to the new brochure! I can't find these details on the official website anywhere!

Quote from: "Kristof"Oh and this has probably been said before, but the entire Central Plaza is being re-designed to allow as much as possible people to enjoy the show, which will include the demolition of the Central Plaza stage.

Quote from: "montaguewarner"Can somebody please post a link to the new brochure! I can't find these details on the official website anywhere!
For some reason, it's not on the site yet. We'll still have to wait.
It is odd that they have it in shops but not online
This new show sounds amazing i do hope its on during christmas season as thats the time of year i normally visit
This show is also supposed to be permanent and will or should be upgraded every year the coming 3 years or so.
oooh kristof im so excited for next yr already! although will be sad this might be the last time ill see fantillusion
Quote from: "MissDisneyisMagical"oooh kristof im so excited for next yr already! although will be sad this might be the last time ill see fantillusion
Fantillusion isn't going anywhere.
It's sounding great. I wonder when Disneyland Paris will officially announce it?
Over in California, it seems like Disney were banging on about the World of Colour for two years before it actually opened! They released an endless stream of construction videos and hype.
Quote from: "Alan"Over in California, it seems like Disney were banging on about the World of Colour for two years before it actually opened! They released an endless stream of construction videos and hype.
And now EDL have put themselves in a position -- now that they're so late announcing this -- to hype it up so massively that people will say "Let's not go to somewhere like Spain, this year, like we've been planning and go to Disney instead". It'll be tough, but hopefully they'll do it.
I Found a new image and abit of info regarding the new 20th Anniversary show 'Dreams'... :P

These days, DREAMS, the high point of the festivities of the 20th anniversary was confirmed by Disneyland Paris (annual financial results, travel brochure, intervention of the CEO on BFM). This spectacle of sounds and single light in Europe will use the latest technology to give life dramatically to largest classic Disney on the castle of sleeping beauty, every night of the year!

That looks awesome!
I really like the fact the it is Peter Pan's show and not some 'New Genteration'-character's...
This is the most wonderful project since the Tower of Terror, and the most Disney-style nighttime show in Disneyland Paris' history.
Can anyone confirm that no Disneyland Paris Entertainment department is involved in the show designing? This is really an important fact.
And now, there are many questions..
Will Disney record a whole new soundtrack at Abbey Road Studios for 'Dreams', as with many other Disney nighttime spectacular (World of Color, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasmic)? Or will they make a cheap mix from other famous Disney shows and classics?
Where are they going to place the fountains' platforms?
What kind of fountains are they going to use? Laminar flow jets with LED ligths? What is the highest height? Will they use the same hydraulics and control technology of World of Color?
What type of fireworks will we see?
And what about live characters? In which language will be the characters' voices recorded? French? English? Both? A mix of the most important European languages? If they are going to do this, please, call the native Disney voices from every country for the dialogue.
Quote from: "Lorum"Can anyone confirm that no Disneyland Paris Entertainment department is involved in the show designing? This is really an important fact.
Steve Davison from WDI in Glendale is responsible for the show. He already created Fantasmic and World of Colour. That's why I'm really looking forward to this project.
I will be gutted if its all in French if I'm honest.
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"I will be gutted if its all in French if I'm honest.
I'm sure that if its WDI organising it, then it won't be. They are usually the best in remembering the bi-lingual aspect of the parks, and making sure the story is more visual than speech-based.
But those visuals are exciting! Is that a brand new image of the castle swell?! ;) Its always good to see those - the same image of the castle is tossed around and manipulated too much nowadays.

Looking at the castle photo it looks like the fountains will go high, but it might just be that way in the photo. I also spot fire will be interesting to see what they do with it.
I am really interested in how they're going to pull this off, since there is very little water around the castle.
I like the fact that the only pixar character is remy. It builds hopes for a announcement on ratatouille coming soon
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"I will be gutted if its all in French if I'm honest.
The dialogue will be minimal and only the main characters will speak bilingual English & French. The show will rely almost entirely on music, all newly composed!
Quote from: "Peter"I like the fact that the only pixar character is remy. It builds hopes for a announcement on ratatouille coming soon
I'm pretty sure that's not related in any way.
Quote from: "Lorum "Can anyone confirm that no Disneyland Paris Entertainment department is involved in the show designing? This is really an important fact.
It's entirely designed by WDI and WDE in Glendale.
Then I'm sure this is going to be the greatest Disney show production in DLP.
I don't think I've been this excited about a project at DLP in a very long time!
More questions..
Will imagineers include the 20th Anniversary theme song into the soundtrack?
What about the duration of the show? Remember! In DLP, nighttime shows are normally 6-9 minutes long.
Make your bets!
I'm guessing it'll be 15 minutes. Not as long as WoC and Fantasmic, but not as short as an ordinary show. ;)
Will Fantillusion take place in addition to the new show or is it shown for the last time this winter?
Will Fantillusion take place in addition to the new show or is it shown for the last time this winter?
Yes, it will.
Is there no fireworks show this summer season? Is it only replaced by the new all year nighttime show Dreams?
Is fantillusion presented only in the summer or also all year long?
It seems Fantillusion is only on during the Summer as announced in the brochure.
And possibly the Christmas season as well.
Steve Davison announces Disney Dreams on his Facebook fan page. He also confirms a new song for the show.

"In time I can tell more. It's going to be wild!"
I doubt Steve Davison would put his name on this project if it wasn't going to be excellent. With him, you're guaranteed that the show will be great. And that's what you want. You want well-known creative people working on projects for Disneyland Paris, not some anonymous entertainment department, because the well-known people care about the end result, and will take responsibility to make sure it's perfect.
Let's remind ourselves of some of the cool stuff that Steve has done:
• Believe... There's Magic In The Stars
• Haunted Mansion Holiday
• Wishes! A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams
• Wishes! (Paris)
• Remember... Dreams Come True
• WORLD OF COLOR
• TRONcore!!!
• Tokyo DisneySea's Fantasmic!
Don't forget he had his hand in WDW's Millenium celebrations (which we fantastic)
I think Disney obviously learn a lot when they develop new technologies for shows like World of Color which then can then roll out to other shows, like the Tokyo DisneySea version of Fantasmic!. If you look at some of the concept art for WoC, it features a giant Sorcerer Mickey hat in the centre which didnt make it into the final version but ended up in TDS Fantasmic! Once the the tech exists, it makes things easier so I am sure "Dreams" will be worth the wait DLP has had for this sort of nighttime attraction
oooh this does sound exciting and i defo love a new song!

The Disney part is a bit bland, the font could of been better.
I think it's nice how, with Dreams, Disney is acknowledging and incorporating some of the European culture, by paying homage to Britain's leading bed specialist:

Lets hope the show doesn't make you want to use one of them beds :lol:
Gasp! :o It all makes sense now. The show is just a big product placement. :P
when was the last time that dreams wasn't having their "biggest ever sale"????
@peter
Exactly. People that shop at Dreams, believing that the "sale ends Monday" are very gullible. There's always a sale on, it's always their biggest ever, and it always ends on Monday. Luckily the BBC's Watchdog have noticed this scam, and published this article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/201 ... _beds.html (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2011/04/dreams_beds.html%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I really don't like the font. Anyone remember when Disney did masculine? It seems like it has been a long time.
I'm sorry, i don't know what else topic for this. I will try made some little "FAKE VIDEO" how can be "Dreams" looks in DLP. It is mix of "World of Color" video and DLP castle photo... Fast attempt - the reality is quite different!
[youtube:1s50hbvx]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bohjw19YL6U[/youtube:1s50hbvx]
Very nice. I can only hope Dreams will inspire the same chills down my spine as World of Colour does.
Nice :P
I still haven't watched a WoC video, always kept myself for the real thing one day!
Quote from: "davewasbaloo"I really don't like the font. Anyone remember when Disney did masculine? It seems like it has been a long time.
Really not a fan either. It looks like the logo for a range of make up aimed at tweeny girls.
It doesn't have any suggestion of the grandeur needed for a nighttime spectacular whatsoever. They've tried to add excitement with the unnecessary exclamation mark (normally I love those...) but it just turns it into a poor imitation of
Fantasmic! or Tokyo's
Fantillusion!. The "Disney" looks atrocious. Not one single element of it works.
Back to the original, please.
It looks like it's been drawn with a child's glitter pen - not a fan. You are right Anthony about Disney, it looks like an afterthought - like someone forgot to add it and the glitter pen had run out. You could very well replace Disney with Barbie and it would suit that brand a lot better.
:D that is funny Steve
I also liked the older more. Even if it was much "world of color" and I´m not that big world of color fan after I saw it in real and was a bit disappointed.
Looks like DLP aren't the only European theme park getting a fountains/lights show. Snapped this on Monday on my visit to De Efteling in the Netherlands......

This is what happens when Management don't get straight to the point and do a press release, this also happened with Ratatouille.
You see that little logo at the bottom, WET? Efteling are working with WET Design, the company behind some of the innovative water effects in World of Color. You can't get better than WET Design; they created the Fountains of Bellagio!

So, Efteling's show could actually be REALLY good. So good that it might actually make Dreams look a little bit small and unimpressive in comparison!
I've been very excited for De Efteling's offering, and it is likely to have new music rather than recycled clips a la Disney. I do wonder if they will do anything with the Fata Morgana building? I am nervous for dreams, although steve davison being at the helm makes me feel a little more comfortable.
While I'm excited for Dreams, I think it's really something the Resort has needed for a long time and will undoubtedly be very impressive. I am a bit more interested in Efteling's version, because I think it'll be done with the quality and charm of Disney as it was back in 1994.
Both shows would be draws for me, plus since my last visit Efteling has a huge new show arena, interactive storybook tree, and a duelling wooden coaster I've yet to get a chance to ride! Since I was last at Disneyland, they've added, er. Well they took away a show and repainted things.
Dreams is gonna need to be amazing to beat the Efteling version.

It's gonna be our own World of Colour. I cannot wait to see it in Cal next year and then this version a month later.
:thumbs:
Although it's just a World of Color advert with the DCA background removed and replaced with the DLP Castle, it is still one of the nicest adverts we've seen from Disney for years. Play a version ending with the show logo instead of the holidays messages on UK tv, and I'm sure people would sit up and listen. It looks professional for once.
Is 100% certain that it starts from 1. April ?? manage to build it? Thank you!
Yes, it's certain. ;) There may even be a "soft opening".
According to @InsideDLParis they were testing the laser projections last night. Seems they are getting it all sorted early to avoid any hiccups at launch.
not just that, there is concern about winter weather getting in the way.
True - I guess they'll be wanting to test the fountains soon too.
How on earth are they going to manage the effects of wind? Even a relatively small fountain will get a fair amount of 'blow' I'd guess they would have to clear a fairly wide area from the presentation areas to avoid soaking the audience.
We're going again next Xmas (DW set on staying at DLH again so no trip before unfortunately) and I really hope they get something they can bill all year round, hopefully with seasonal/event overlays etc.
Well, this is a significant concern to Davison and the team, hence the rigourous testing. But the RISK log is not looking great. Firgers crossed they can get things to work properly.
When we were in DLP last month a CM told us that the plan was to have fountains going as high as the top of the castle - something we all found hard to believe. I wonder if they may end up doing two versions of the show, one with fountains and one without? It would take a lot away from the show, and it's advertising, to have no water, but in the cold and windy winter months it may just not be practical.
That's a smart idea Steve. Yes, considering the strong winds and freezing cold weather, it would be wise to have two different versions of Dreams: Wet Dreams and Dry Dreams.
Love it Alan :D
Very good - can't wait to see the advertising for that :D
Given how Disney don't fully understand the English language, and happily play songs with f-bombs in them (e.g. Lily Allen, Cee Lo Green) in the middle of the day at Disney Village, I wouldn't be surprised to see them write something like:
"Come and experience Wet Dreams, featuring all your favourite Princesses, at night in the City of Love".
:lol:
I wonder if part of the solution will be to do with the castle refurb though. Could a fountain be dropped from the castle itself rather than fired upwards? this could be more controllable to deal with winds etc.
I reckon Dreams will mostly be a castle video-mapping show, with SOME fountains. But I don't expect anything on the scale of World of Colour, due to the lack of water on Central Plaza.

Some good laughs in this topic today. :)
Those Efteling adverts are very classy. Unlike the Disney images, which are photoshopped beyond belief, you can actually imagine the show will look something like that, and it makes the advertisement stronger for it. Disneyland Paris are damn lucky they have the "Disney" (and all the characters, stories that come with that) because otherwise they'd have a really hard time winning this battle of the nighttime finales.
Quote from: "Alan"I reckon Dreams will mostly be a castle video-mapping show, with SOME fountains. But I don't expect anything on the scale of World of Colour, due to the lack of water on Central Plaza.
I do worry when I see people expecting this to literally be "our World of Color". The lazy reuse of the World of Colour adverts and visuals doesn't help, I guess, but hopefully they won't be sorely disappointed come April. The fountains will surely be one element of a larger, "immersive" show. I'm still intrigued how Main Street and Central Plaza will become part of it through extra projections on the buildings, etc. We don't seem to have heard much about that.
The Magic, The Memories and You is probably a better comparison than World of Color in a way, only without the mawkish pictures of random other guests, thank god. And hopefully, with the Peter Pan theme, some semblance of a narrative tying the whole thing together. That would even give it a one-up on the story-less World of Color.
It's the Disney name, characters and stories that help make Disneyland Paris what it is, it's not just a matter of luck. It's what makes Disneyland so special and different from other theme parks.
Quote from: "ed-uk"It's the Disney name, characters and stories that help make Disneyland Paris what it is, it's not just a matter of luck. It's what makes Disneyland so special and different from other theme parks.
I wholly disagree. I would say it is the attention to detail, theming and state of the art attractions that used to make the disney parks awesome. In fact, i find the characters a complete turn off and the approach of the last 1t years has ruined the pparks. Creatively lazy and tacky.
The most popular attractions have always had nothing to do with toons.
Well I should also add that the attention to detail, themeing and state of the art attractions help to make Disneyland special. That's why 15. 6 million people went to DLP last year and 4 million went to Efteling. The Disney name must be a big draw I think. I don't agree it's tacky or creatively lazy even. Splash Mountain, that's a toon ride, not at DLP I know.
Yep, I agree with you @davewasbaloo. None of these attractions have anything to do with Disney's animated films, and yet they're the best that Disney has to offer:
• Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple Of The Forbidden Eye
• Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
• Pirates of the Caribbean
• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
• Big Thunder Mountain
• Kilimanjaro Safaris
• Expedtion Everest
• Grizzly River Run
• Space Mountain
• Phantom Manor
• Mission: SPACE
• Star Tours 2
• Matterhorn
• Test Track
• Soarin'
Some rides have nothing to do with Disney's animated films, and others have, clearly. I don't think that takes anything away from Peter Pans Flight and Crushes Coaster for example. I don't understand why some people think Disney shouldn't base rides on their films, like it's wrong in some way. It's like saying the films are inferior.
Remembering PotC and PM were also originals.
I bet if there were no Disney character references in the park, but the non "disney film" references still existed, the park would be are more popular than the other way around.
We happily skip peter pan or crush, but we would never think of skipping PotC or pm.
By that logic Efteling and Europa Park should be more popular than Disneyland. I don't skip Peter Pan or POTC.
They certainly don't have the marketing hype behind them. Guaranteed most people in the UK have heard of DLP. However, even a number of UK theme park fans are oblivious of ep or de efteling.
Imho, droomvlucht is far more enjoyable than peter pan's flight.
I think it's the strength of the Disney name, the characters and story telling that help make Disney theme parks so popular, that's borne out by the numbers of people who go. Why is the Disney name so famous? In my view it's because of the films and theme parks. Who in the last 70 years has grown up and not know who Pinocchio is, Peter Pan, Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Winnie the pooh. So who would be surprised to find these characters in their theme parks, or rides based on successful Disney films. If Efteling made films what would they do?
Disney probably want to use their popular franchises to attract more visitors. In the original Disneyland when it first opened, the characters were all in Fantasyland, because that was the story of Fantasyland: a place where fictional characters come to life. The rest of the park was about more realistic or general concepts and stories.
I'm fine with the mixture of films and original stories that we have now in the Parks, but dave is right about them taking over the parks lately, and I hadn't actually noticed that until I started coming to this forum. ^_^'
What I really admire about DLP is that all four rides in Frontierland are part of one epic story that's much more detailed than the other lands which have stories that mostly only provide a setting (except, Main Street, of course).
Anyway, as for Dreams, they might use Peter Pan as a way of flying into different stories. I can imagine how the fountains would help do that. @InsideDLParis posted a photo of another projector above the Passports building. It looks like the Castle Stage will be used as a viewing point for Dreams as well.
Quote from: "ed-uk"If Efteling made films what would they do?
The Efteling company do make films, or at least TV series. And the answer is that they put the characters in the park: eg The Spookjes Boom and the new little shows in the Spookjes Bos and they turn them into merchandise which is sold in the shops. Actually I just saw that they are now making a series around their logo figure, Pardoes, which is going to be shown on the Nickelodeon channel next week.
Like it or not, that's what all parks have to do to survive.
I think if a part of the franchise is going to be used, and lets face it in a visuals based nighttime show it is, then Peter Pan could provide a quite classy story and 'world' to hinge the show on.
It's a classic piece of literature and the movie created some fantastic visuals and music, real hooks that could be used in the show to create emotional punctuation so to speak. Maybe Lion King could do something similar too but I'm glad actually that they're not using Pixar or some of the other options, just because I don't think they'd give quite as good a back drop to it.
This just in from @InsideDLParis. Nice looking building. I'm not sure if that wooden arch really fits the style of Main Street, U.S.A. though. It kind of looks like you've stumbled into a garden centre. Anyway, it's a new permanent addition to the park, so I mustn't complain. Change is good :D
(//http://p.twimg.com/AgyC_6KCAAARNKN.jpg)
Nice! I'm sure they'll have some greenery climb up there come springtime, Alan. Victorians loved gardening, right? It reminds me quite a bit of Paradise Park in California Adventure... Even the colors of the structure are very Paradise Pier. Well, the new Paradise Pier of course.
In any case, let's imagine for a moment how they would have dealt with this ten years ago. They probably would have disguised it as a large birthday cake. Or a circus tent. Or a present with a big bow on top.
And are we to expect some sort of large projection device to come hovering out of the roof each night? Or what is it for exactly? I mean if merely having a "control room" were so important, surely they would have needed one for any of the previous Central Plaza shows.
What exactly is that buiding for? It doesn't look like it will blend in very well.
I believe that's the projection building that will control all the lasers and presumably all the lights and fountains too.
Glad they've found some new paint, perhaps they can head over to Discoveryand with it.
lol, i have to agree. discoveryland looks more aged than anything else at dlp. who'd have thought that metal can get rusty???
That building to me looks like it's the Control Room for Dreams! It's too low to the ground to be somewhere they'll project video or lasers from. I would imagine it will hold computers and equipment similar to this; the Control Room for the World of Color at Disney California Adventure:

Quote from: "pussinboots"I mean if merely having a "control room" were so important, surely they would have needed one for any of the previous Central Plaza shows.
There is an existing, much smaller control room on the other side of Central Plaza (photo (//http://twitpic.com/6efwre)). I must have been added in the birthday cake/circus tent era you describe, so actually takes up space of what should be the pavement. Hopefully it'll be removed come next year to free up more viewing space.
The new building is a pleasant surprise, and will look great if hopefully dressed up with more plants or flowers. Story-wise, I guess it could be the Central Plaza gardener/park ranger's accommodation?
You know, I must have passed that thing a thousand times and have never given it a second thought. I suppose you just instinctively assume it is another one of those pretzel stands that haven't been open for business since 1996. Interesting.
That picture must have taken you quite a bit of time to find, by the way. I can't imagine where one would begin to search.
It's not that ugly, although that's probably because it isn't directly tied to a specific festival, anniversary or similar. I still cherish my vision of a Toon Circus-era booth disguised as a candy-colored tent.
Toon Circus... now there's something I haven't thought of in a long time...
Anyway, it does look good! It really attracts attention, though... I wonder how many guests will step over the fence to have a look inside? The old one sure had its way of not making you curious at all!
Here are 2 more recent pictures.

I like the look of the building and can't wait for more updates through the coming weeks and next year. Now we have to wait till they bring all the tech equipment, not sure if they will construct the fountains first or put the equipment in.
I have an idea what we can call the building atm mission control :D
Disneyland Paris begins with the 20th Anniversary announcements in Spain. The famous TV show named "Pasapalabra" on Spanish television TeleCinco - //http://www.telecinco.es/pasapalabra - ("En Toutes Lettres" on France 2 - //http://programmes.france2.fr/en-toutes-lettres/ -, or "Passaparola" on Canale 5 - http://www.mediaset.it/brand/canale5/pr ... a_34.shtml (http://www.mediaset.it/brand/canale5/programma/schedaprogramma_34.shtml%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) -), which means literally "Pass-the-word", announces a Disney show special, based on DLP's 20th Anniversary to debut on December, 20th. In the advert, TeleCinco and Disney use some images from WoC. This confirms that DLP is using its new nighttime spectacular as the main attraction for the anniversary.

Soon the skies will be full of pretty colourful fountains and projections can't wait and hopefully clear skies but that's not likely.
Quote from: "Alan"I'm not sure if that wooden arch really fits the style of Main Street, U.S.A. though.
Actually, Central Plaza has it's own theme. It's more of a generic area that transitions you from Main Street's theme.
I'm surprised they have it a suburbian house appearance, but it looks nice. :) The back windows must be tinted so that the people inside can see.
(Also, I was really surprised how quickly it was built after the foundations were done. It's like it only took a week! :D )
wow that must've come down yesterday evening as it was all still covered when i left at 530 yesterday!

This is a bit of a tangent, but it seems to me the 19th century is a good theme for virtually all of the park. No one ever points this out, but Disneyland Paris must be the most Victorian of the Magic Kingdoms. Main Street obviously, Discoveryland is/was mostly 19th century futurism, Frontierland, again, obviously. Leaving Adventureland and Fantasyland, which each have significant areas that should or could be placed in that era. (Fantasyland English area, Adventureland Jungle Book area, Swiss Family Treehouse.) The park is either about Anglo-Saxon Victorianism or views the rest of the world through such a filter. (Although refiltered a few times, first through Walt, then through the Imagineers of the 1980s, but anyway.) And the entrance is marked by an enormous Second Empire gingerbread known as the Disneyland Hotel.
The original Disneyland for instance has far more that could only be linked to a 1950s perspective, although Walt always had an odd thing for that previous century. I suppose we could speculate on the reason by psychoanalyzing Walt Disney and calling him a late adherent of Romanticism or something or other, but that would be a different discussion altogether.
Quote from: "Meph"(Also, I was really surprised how quickly it was built after the foundations were done. It's like it only took a week! :D )
Exactly, how on earth did they get it up so fast? It must have been almost completely prefabricated backstage. If only DLP had the same urgency (and reason) to fill in a few gaps like this at the Studios.

Good tangent, and (going further off topic) a good reason for any future expansion of Walt Disney Studios to stick as closely as possible to a more specific 20th Century timeframe to complement this. Obviously we already have a 1930s-ish Front Lot, 1950s Hollywood area, but a 1970s/80s period would especially suit Backlot, if need be. Even the 1990s Toy Story Playland could be excused. Star Tours 2 should really be in Backlot (and Soarin' built in Discoveryland), Indiana Jones Adventure could be built as a whole new 1940s Lost River Delta area at the back of the Studios. Marvel would be very much at home. Just don't mention Avatar.
Quote from: "Anthony"Star Tours 2 should really be in Backlot (and Soarin' built in Discoveryland)
This would be BRILLIANT
Q
I agree with Anthony. I've always said that Star Tours belongs at the Walt Disney Studios Park, not in Disneyland Park. They got this right in Florida, at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Also, I totally agree that the Indiana Jones Adventure should come to the Walt Disney Studios Park, not Disneyland Park. Again, they got this right in Florida at Disney's Hollywood Studios, by putting the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in that park.
Moving Star Tours from one park to another will obviously never happen, because it would be hugely expensive. But building the Indiana Jones Adventure at the Walt Disney Studios Park is still a possibility.
See, i don't agree Alan. It lives in Disneyland, tdl and DLP, and it opened in DL a couple of years before it arrived in mgm. ALso Indy works brillianttly in DL in anaheim. I think wdsp should showcase attractions that would not work in dlp.
it works with tomorrowland, but putting it in discoveryland has always been quite a stretch. and if the rumors about a (much deserved) star wars miniland in DHS are true, well i would drool to have one here. and it would fit a lot better in the studios, than in discoveryland
a leonardo-inspired soaring (that's they way it looks they're goin for in TDS) would be dead perfect for discoveryland (better than a new 3d movie in the eo theatre)
and then kill autopia e bring in journey to the center of the earth ;)
It's very unlikely, though, since there's already as site ready for it in the Studios. Mind you, it's been ready for over 10 years. XD
Just a thought I had today - I sure hope "Dreams" gets it's own range of Merchandise. I'm an absolute sucker for great merchandise and I don't think I'd be able to resist some "Dreams" merchandise. World of Color got absolute heaps of merchandise when it premièred, including light up drinks/popcorn/candy-floss. Thought I'm not sure DLP are as experienced in making good merchandise yet to pull this off.

has this been posted already? tweeted by DLRP Today.
I honestly can't quite get my head around how the show can be anything like this video suggests, but would be impressed if it did :thumbs:
It's not surprising. Other than the projections, we don't have any idea what this show will be like, or how we'll view it. XD From what I've seen, I think you'll be able to view it from anywhere around the moat; so it's the central plaza and the castle stage.
Do these projection equipment look anything like the ones round the park or is it me ?
(//http://www.lci-uk.com/images/upload/228.jpg)
(//http://www.lci-uk.com/images/upload/460.jpg)
They look very like these ones that are up on the buildings round the park.
(//http://www.projectionfreak.com/http://www.projectionfreak.com/wp-content/uploads/pjbox2.jpg)
If you look close at the picture above you can see the round circle that the projection is coming out and also see the cooldown holes. If thats the case then http://www.lci-uk.com/ (http://www.lci-uk.com/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) migut be the company behind the project. They also do the laser and water screen show at Legoland Windsor and many other well known brand shows design etc.
(//http://www.lci-uk.com/images/upload/gallery/262.jpg)
Then for the bit we saw in the Ecard when Mickey was next to the fountain and it didn't got very high I think the next bit to that they didn't show was the fountain going very high and think it will look like this the scene.

Saying that another company could use the same projectors. Post what you think about this comment
thanks Robert97, it's not the technology so much I wonder about, it's the location! How on earth are images like that shown in the promo video going to be created in the space available?

With Disney Magic possibly :D
Or maybe projections on the castle put everyone into a hypnotic state, making them believe there were fountains!
Probably not...

Then why did they test fountains on the moat ?
I was joking, by the way.
Is it definitely for beginning in 1st april, please?? it will not be delayed as in the past TSPL be?
I will go to DLP one time this year ( no more moneys :( ) so i will have 100% confidence for it? Thank you!
(sorry for this question if already here- i dont read this topics for surprise, thank you)
Quote from: "peter"I was joking, by the way.
When do you think the park will start to install everything over the coming weeks rather than last minute. Also no doubt they will test the show in bits like they did with the World Of Colour.
Amazed how little I go to Disney but read up all about it to get my knowledge higher :D
After browsing these forums for years I've decided to finally register and join the coversation :D
While I loved World of Colour (it took my breath away) I just can't get excited about this new "smaller" version in DLP. I'm sure that the people who have seen World of Colour live will agree that the show works so well is because of the sheer magnitude of everything. The enormous water screens, the 1200 fountains and not to mention the entire area around the lake which turns into part of the show by having their lights synchronised to the music ect.
While I welcome the new show I just don't think we should get our hopes up that this will be our WoC. As said before I think this will most likely be more about the projections on the castle then the few fountains they are placing.
However, the new fountain show Aquanura by The Efteling is actually something to get really excited about. The park celebrates it's 60th birthday by installing a staggering 1500 fountains! (yes even bigger then WoC) and a whole new themed viewing platform. As mentioned, they signed a contract with WET (former Disney Engineers) and invested 17 million euros in the project. And as mentioned by some peeps here that Dreams might be difficult to perform during the winter months, The Efteling has actually decided to heat the water in the entire lake (!!!!) so that they can continue operating in even the coldest of times.
The show will be the biggest of it's kind in Europe and third biggest in the world right after THe Bellagio fountains and the Dubai Mall.
Until Disney finally decides to build that massive lake in WDS and put a bigger copy of WoC there. :lol: :^o I wish. It would really give the park a necessary boost though. But for now we just have to do with this tiny (maybe spectacular, because we don't know yet) show that will mark the 20th anniversary.
There was a time where The Efteling was taking notes on Disney but in the last few years Disney should be taking notes from The Efteling.

Like you say the company that are doing The Efeling ones are Wet Design but are the World Of Colour ones done by them ? Like my thoughts earlier on the post that http://www.lci-uk.com/ (http://www.lci-uk.com/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) like I talked about with the projectors if thats the case that it might be the company LCI that are behind the project but then again what I said it might be the same projector that a different company use but only time will tell when we get more info.

Bellisimoooooooooooo! :D Just imagine now the water over them with abit of colours...wow!Cant wait to see them! :thumbs:
It is great to see the future coming. But now (with those pictures) we have some information about what is going on the project.
As I'm studying civil engineering in hydraulics, I can see that the fountains will be controlled individually, but the height will not be as big as in WoC. We can see 25 fountains in that side of the castle, so I think they will install other 25 on the other side, if not more than that.
I'm excited, but I hope we can enjoy a great show, with a good number of fountains and a spectacular soundtrack.
Ha! That was really sudden. XD That's way more than I expected. I wonder if they're nailed down yet or have just been laid there for now.
I was expecting the fountains to be more intrusive to the moat if I'm honest, similar to the World Of Color platforms. It's nice to see that they aren't too huge! Is there any sign of them being the colour changing versions with the LED's around the nozzle (not very technical I'm sure!).
To the middle right you can see a circle of some sort I think a bigger fountain will go here just a thought.
@InsideDLParis have posted a new update to the fountain.
Here is how it stands atm.

In the teaser Ecard we saw mickey in the middle of a stage with a jet that came out of the stage, I think this will be the effect of a high fountain then these are the backdrop fountains.
@Robert97: You mean you think the BIG fountains will be built where the hub stage is corrently being removed?
Quote from: "JelleP"@Robert97: You mean you think the BIG fountains will be built where the hub stage is corrently being removed?
Well this video shows mickey blocking a fountain and I think it could be a big jet. Also I think we could see a new type of stage specially made for the show who knows.

This could just be the first set of fountains that they're placing down. There may be bigger and less frequently placed fountains coming later these are installed. :D
What are these brown cuboid things, by the way? Are they just infrastructure? I can't see how the fountain spouts would go into them.

Could be a stand for the lights thats the only thing I can think of.
Presumably the long brown boxes are the actual motors or pumps for the fountains? I wonder if these fountains will have the LED rings added to them like World of Color (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/omnitographer/4864814905/), or could they just be used as a projection screen? Interesting...

Don't read too much into that video, it's just a commercial - and (an edited) one for World of Color at that.
DLP really should release some actual concept art for this so people know where to set their expectations. Why do we always have to rely on edited, "non-contractual" visuals, etc from other resorts?
Steve Davison posted on his Facebook page earlier that they are currently at Abbey Road Studios in London recording the music for Dreams. As a Beatles fan it's pretty cool to think that the next big DLP show will have music recorded in the same place as most of the Beatles catalogue, plus albums from bands like Pink Floyd and music from films such as Star Wars and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Very true thanks for the feedback, wonder if you could email the press team to see if they can give you exclusive details of the show.

Yep shame the LSO isn't doing the music to the show as they confimed a Tweet to me saying that they aren't recording unless they kept it a surprise and they are doing it.
News just in a video concept :) just what we need now we know what every things going to look like fantastic.

That's true, but unfortunately DLP doesn't have $75 million to spare so we will have to make do with WOC's little sister ;)

Oh my Lordy! Disneyland Paris facebook page has posted a link to its 'trailer' for the 20th anniversary celebrations! It will be amazing by the looks of it. I have never seen World of Colour or anything similar so even though others have said DLP's version will not be as big, I think it looks wonderful and I really can't wait to see it all now!

OMG!!!!!!! We saw them testing Dreams in October by sheer fluke but it looks so cool in the video for the 20th I am beyond excited now and then he was like "films such as Aladdin, Tangled Beauty and the Beast" my favourite films!!! Chuck Cinderella in there and I am in heaven. We aren't going until May ugh too far away!!!! It really seems as though all this scrimping and saving Disney have been doing by lacking for the last few years will pay off!!!!

Gotta say im impressed and it sounds and looks like its gonna be a great show! Do you think they will be able to run it everynight? Cost wise.
Quote from: "Alan"Look at the similarity between these two photos.
Perfect comparison, thanks!
Quote from: "sebassah"Do you think they will be able to run it everynight? Cost wise.
Yes, it
will be every night from 1st April onwards.
I'm excited for the story behind this show. The "Second Star to the Right" will ignite above the castle bringing "Disney Dreams" to life, Steve Davison says... and we know Peter Pan and his shadow is involved, too. That's the one thing missing from World of Color for me: a good narrative. As good as it is, it does play out more like a series of special effects demos. Hopefully Dreams will have the whole package.
From the looks of the CG models in the video, there won't be anything going on in the middle of Central Plaza, it's just an empty space. Possibly a good move, in terms of guest flow?
Well spotted Anthony. What's up with the lack of anything in the middle of Central Plaza? If it's true, then that's a real disappointment. I was hoping for a large Fountain of Nations-esque fountain there.
Still, everything else looks really good. The projections and animation on the castle are World-class.
I guess that's our fault for wildly expecting that there could be a fountain there. XD All these announcements and preparations for the show are coming out of nowhere!
Did anyone notice this, by the way, when they mentioned the two projection fountains?
(//http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii54/Mephiles602/other%20stuff/disneydreams.jpg)
It looks like they're raised up in the air. Maybe they're on a retractable pole?
Also, you've got to hand it to the Imagineers. The castle has a complicated design; it's not easy to project a clear image on.
This is absolutely incredible! This is what I was expecting for DLP. Well, I have always criticized DLP's nighttime shows, but I can say this is more than I expected.
For now, we have:
- Castle projections, using the most innovative mapping software (belive me, mapping is a hard work).
- Two water screens, floating in the air. How will they lift up the hydroschild and its pipe? Will it be placed in position before the show starts?
- Seeing the most recent photos the fountains won't make any movement, at the moment. Answering someones question, we could say that the "brown part" is the "water pump", but it is more complicated. In some types of fountains, air compressed is used to shoot water into the air. The water is in a tube, then you have air compressed in a tank connected to the tube. When you release the air, it is forced to get into the tube and pushes the water out. Sometimes, a pump is not enough. If you want to know more about that, ask me.
- Water nozzle types. If we look at the picture above (the 3D model), we see a group of blue fountains, and a more reduced group of red fountains which go higher into the air. The first one could be "grid fountains" nozzles and the second "geyser fountains" nozzles. What do you think?
Everything for the 20th anniversary looks amazing, this especially. If we do go this year then I cannot wait to see this. If it is as good as it looks from the video, I will be going back night after night.
Here are a couple of better screenshots, taken from that Dreams video Disney recently put out:
(//http://imgdash.com/46281031.png)
(//http://imgdash.com/a9dd7db0.png)
I'm just wondering, what are the pole things in central plaza on those screenshots?
I would've thought they're either lighting columns, or speaker columns. Perhaps columns with both lighting and speaker equipment on them?
Just watching that video I had a rather embarrassing total flail of excitement.
One question - will this be running at Christmas too? My mind is drawing a total blank as to what 'normal procedure' is. We were planning to go at Christmas but if this is only running through to the end of summer peak, may have to make another trip!
it does seem this is a very good way of getting around the fireworks restrictions at DLP.
It should be running at Christmas; yes.
I'm so glad DLP are finally giving us a preview. We know how they like to hold their cards to there chests.
Dreams looks amazing, except I'm concered how people not standing near the front will get a decent view of everything. Those screen projection thingys look quite low down.
This news is a dream. Since my visit to DLR last summer, I must admit my love for DLP died down a little. Those projections are out of this world though! So professional, detailed... the motion... the characters, contrast and colours are stunning. I can see why they took down the controversial tree however. It really was blocking large areas of the projection. Maybe the argument for not having fountains in Central Plaza also? I'd bet money on hidden fountains around the plaza for the finale however... just like WOC.
The guys at Disney really seem to show a lot of pride in this project, which gives me hope. I know it's their job to keep up the hype, but the music especially seems to be a key focus for them. I guess it's comparatively cheaper to create a great score to boost the feel of the show than having a few more fountains, yes, but it's also what carries the show. WOC IS genuinely amazing, but the music was stitched together and as many people have pointed out, has zero narrative and no reoccurring characters. Our show seems to address all of those factors from the start which means they're open to improving their previous work.
I do wonder how effective these water screens are going to be however. I don't feel they're needed so much and we've never seen them used before with an object so closely behind either.
I love the fact the show has been built around the castle... plussing our most gorgeous asset. It's a great solution to some rather tame firework displays recently and arguably the best location for it too - HOWEVER I guess this show essentially could be in the Studios. I know it wouldn't suit the TOT building and the charm/magic of the show might get lost there, but it's a larger projection space and would give people more of a reason to stay
Oh. And the idea of making the castle into a birthday cake complete with 20 candles is great. Who needs to deface the entire castle during the day to illuminate it at night. That is what I'm seeing in the video, right?
My favourite effect from the video was certainly the water pouring over the castle. And people splashing in pools of water on the castle too. Beautiful and totally different to anything we've seen before. This really makes a fool of The Magic, The Memories and You now :P
Here's some close up pictures of the fountains!

Very cool. Didn't they say that fire will erupt all around the castle? I wonder when the flamethrowers get installed too :)
Anyone notice some slightly different shots at the end of the Dutch version of the promo films. Lovely Lion King clips there!

Hmmm. All of the spouts in the different types of fountains are painted bronze. Maybe they're trying to hide them in the water?
Also, nice find, Kris. :D
The second photo, are they flame?
Quote from: "DopeyDad"The second photo, are they flame?
It seems what I explained in my last post.
The brown fountains have laminar flow jets. In short, laminar flow is used on the Alice's Curious Labyrinth and it is also used in WoC. Laminar flow means that every water particle in the jet travels at the same velocity, so the light of the LEDs can rebound inside and illuminate it.
This is a photo of the WoC platform.
(//http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2670/4183647367_b118fe31dd_b.jpg)
In the image, we see most of the fountains are laminar flow jets. So we have our small piece of WoC :D. Some fountains have to motors that make that 360º movements, others are static. We only have static, but it's fine! Notice that small groups of moving fountains are supplied with the same pump, and the static ones have its own smaller pump. So I think that the brown fountains can reach at least the castle's half-height.
The bronze jets seem to be the ones we see in red in the 3D model. And I think they have a small air-compressed tank and a pump connected to the base of the fountains tube. Probably, they are taller than the brown fountains.

Oh. That's the really smooth water, isn't it?
Also, I'm sure there's loads more fountains still to be delivered.
Quote from: "Meph"Oh. That's the really smooth water, isn't it?
Exactly.
Quote from: "Meph"Also, I'm sure there's loads more fountains still to be delivered.
I'm not so optimistic. I think the entire group of fountains have already arrived, and that group is already in the small lakes. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not waiting for something else. I think this is more that anyone could ever expect.
By the way, does anyone think this makes us less likely to have a WoC in the WDSP in the distant future? Two fountain shows where one would be bigger than the other doesn't seem very appealing (on one side of the fence, at least).
Fantasmic is still an option, though. Or maybe a show like at Disneysea with show stages on decorated barges.
I don't know whether that would really be an issue. After all, adding a lake in the studios seems like it may still happen, so perhaps WoC, with fantasmic mixed in?
i think Fantasmic would be great for the studios... If they ever expand that is. In my mind, they should extend Hollywood Blvd to a marina/waterfront area similar to TDS but dressed as a film set.
Speaking of that, F! just started playing on shuffle
I think as long as you keep the character aspect of Fantasmic there the two shows would be considered different enough (projections vs live actors). However, what's to say that Studios won't get a whole new show, which hasn't been seen anywhere else in the World, the fountains and fireworks aspect definately does make Fantasmic a less obvious installation in the future.
Speaking of live actors in the show, wasn't it rumoured that there'd be one in Dreams? If Peter is our main character, could we be seeing a return of zipline Tinkerbell?
InsideDLParis have posted a few more pictures re. Dreams, including odd little devices on the castle which I guess produce some kind of screen maybe?

Ooh nice and big and open!
Also, I remember zipline tinkerbell. Good times.
Those fireworks sure look promising!
Surely now that WDI are fully involved in the creation of the show they will have greater sources for new technology than DLPs own Entertainment department. And perhaps more impressive, quiet fireworks are lined up with this new technology.
Well, it looks like something will be done to the castle for Dreams. Rumours said that it will have a star on the top window. And today, the gold adornment on that top window is missing...

Apparently, the star will be behind the glass stained window and it has been installed.
Everyone's so surprised by the star despite @InsideDLParis mentioning it ages ago! :p I'm so glad that the feature is internal. Could you imagine if the "huge LED star" sat unhidden on the castle? I was scared of that! :p
They will put the gold adornment back, right? :(
I think those devices are for sparkling wheels.
that is what i first, but looking closer they look more electronic sensors or recievers
Maybe they're just for testing. They look temporary.
It could be to line up the projections properly?
Quote from: "Imagineer Steve Davison on Facebook"Back home after a fantastic week of recording and firework testing on Disney Dreams! This one is going to be fun to program in the coming months!!!
:D
He posted that on facebook about an hour ago. Did anyone see him while he was there?
April 1st seems to be confirmed for the start so wonder if there will be Shareholder/AP previews ??
Really excited about Dreams, going to try and not watch it on youtube so I can be surprised.
I was just wondering if anyone knew, will Dreams still be showing in November? As that's when I'm planning my next trip for - probably around the 5th so just before the start of the Christmas season. I didn't want to start a new topic just to ask my one teeny tiny question so hopefully someone can give me a quick answer and I can go back to my hiding place..... thanks!

We don't know for sure yet BUT looking at past patterns, mostly the 15th celebration, we can safely assume that Dreams will stay well into next year. I don't know how the water and the fountains are effected by the cold though. They might switch it off for the winter months but if that happens and you miss it you can always plan your 2013 trip a bit earlier because Dreams is too big of a set-up not to be re-used well into 2013. It might actually still be there for the 25th anniversary :lol:
Dreams is featured in the brochure, so it would be apalling if it did not show for the whole year. They are offering daily later hours during the summer so it can be viewed so they are making a real effort for this show. As to wether the fountains will work in the dead of winter, well another park in Europe is adding a big fountain show and they are said to be heating the water to keep it above freezing level! Worst case scenario, I guess, would be the rest of the show without the fountains.
@InsideDLParis have posted a Dreams Fountain update.

Are those the fire shooters at the back of the fountains ? Or are they the bigger fountains can't tell.
Also they Tweeted out: Some construction fences can be found on both sides of the Castle bridge.
(//https://p.twimg.com/AkLt8e8CAAAc9Ak.jpg:large)
Another picture & they said The left side blocks one of the entrances to La Taniere du Dragon.
(//https://p.twimg.com/AkLuPCZCEAAYVMA.jpg:large)
Why would they block those areas?
They are bigger water jets. They wouldn't waste a half of the blaze, placing shooters in those lakes.
That's more likely to be where the projectors for the water screens will go. If that's the case, I hope we'll still be able to walk down that path down there again. They only just opened it up again after the dragon refurb at the end of last year.
perhaps it will be attached to the ceiling of the entrance?
Lovely new visual from Disney Central Plaza, this time featuring a tuxedo-ed Mickey, as opposed his previous Sorcerer garb.
I wonder what this new costume Ariel seems to have in all these pictures. I've never seen her dressed like that before.

EDIT: Strange mountain range behind The Orbitron.. Looks like Expedition Everest. Not sure why they didn't have WDS and The orbitron on the opposite sides - it would make sense geographically.
Expedition Everest..But why?
You're right, that looks like the expedition Everest silhouette. Why though?
Being a dreamer, I'm going to suggest that maybe imagineering made this and want to convince DLP.
I'd hazard a guess that it's Big Thunder Mountain
I don't think you guys should look to deeply in to this, it's just a visual for the new night-time show & these things are almost always exaggerated and never reflect real-life. (for eg- the Studios are to the right etc.)

Completely, but its always curious (certainly to me as a designer) to see how they decide to manipulate the parks and what they decide to add in/take out.
Right, they probably just chose that mountain (Expedition Everest?) because it looked better in the visual than Big Thunder Mountain.
That said, wouldn't it be a lovely surprise if Disney announced on the 12th of April 2012, that they were starting construction on Expedition Everest in Adventureland :-) Good riddance Temple of Peril, with your ear smashing restraints and family-unfriendly loop.
This just in from @InsideDLParis. Now, I don't won't to get too excited, but I see a large tent, a big hole in the ground and lots of tubing. Could it be that they are installing a fountain in the middle of Central Plaza after all? :D Surely it's overkill if all they're doing is installing a new flowerbed?
(//https://p.twimg.com/AkeUW-1CIAApfGM.jpg:large)
Yeessssssssss. I think a fountain would just reinforce the distinctive class that DLP has that separates it from its international cousins. I'm hoping for a fountain.
Unless - do the flowerbeds have self-watering systems? Seems like something they'd have to help those perfect plants stay perfect.
The fountain wasn't on the plans in the teaser video, so I doubt it. But I'm curious why they need a tent, too. What are those pipes for, and why are they so worried about getting water down there? Is there a utilidor underneath there?
It could just be that they've now got less than two months to get this area finished and any delays due to inclement weather would be a major problem. Marne-la-Vallée's weather forecast has a high of -1C today!
I'm a little disappointed some of the old lampposts still seem to be there in that picture. I was hoping they might redesign Central Plaza with lower-level lighting that won't get in the way of the show, like the World of Color viewing area. Perhaps changes still to come...
Very impressed with the firework tests we've seen so far, they definitely seem to be better than what we're used to. Far more colourful and perhaps better launched too. Is this that compressed air launch system finally reaching Paris? (Or did we already have it?)
We already had it. It was developed as a way to compensate for the local laws. It debuted a fair few years ago.

(//https://p.twimg.com/Akk9nLdCMAAIaNG.jpg:large)[/quote]
Yep, they're tilted. :) One strand of fountains in the foreground still needs painting in the dirty brown water colour. Those brown cuboids have been moved further back, with some piled up in the corner. I wonder what they're for. Also, we still haven't seen what will make the water screen.
And notice that they stretch around the castle stage, too. You should have a great view of the show even from there. :D
I'm very curious about exactly where everyone will stand to watch the show. We'll be needing some tips on DLRPMagic, Anthony, about where's the best places. XD
I think those small types of fountains titled may be the water screen jets. You also see in the grass bit at the bottom a circle same near the titled fountains I think they may be stands for the water screen. Who knows we will have to wait and see how this picks up.
Does anyone know if the Nighttime Spectacular will be on throughout May. From what i can see on here it makes it look like it starts from 1st April, but I believe nighttime entertainment is usually just on throughout the main summer months??? Would love to see this, but we're booked from 7th May . Thanks for any help :)
I believe Disney Dreams will be on throughout May with extended opening hours in the park, thats the impression I've been given.
Thanks for the quick reply. Fingers crossed.... If not we'll just have to go back :)
Maybe those little jets are water fog, but I doubt it, beacause if you're standing in Central Plaza, you won't be able to see water level on the lakes in front of the castle.
Marne-la-Vallée is a very cold humid area in which building works are very difficult to develop. It seems the tent is protecting that zone from the rain and condensation. Maybe they don't want the soils to get saturated.
It would be great Central Plaza with a nice fountain... :D
Regarding fountains, I'd be surprised if Central Plaza became part of the show, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. I hope there will be some surprises left after all the speculation.

They may have a stage and a big fountains in the middle of the stage that shoots up high it may be possible.

Definitely no stage! We can rule that one out, thank god.
Steve Davison Fan Page has a new post,
We finished mixing the score for Disney Dreams yesterday! It is really breathtakingly beautiful, soaring, magical and EPIC! I am so proud of it. I worked with composer Joel McNeely on the score. He brings a whole new spirit and richness to nighttime spectaculars. Can't wait for you all to hear it!
I've just looked into Josh McNeely's work. It's gorgeous! I'm looking forward to the soundtrack so much! The landing page of his website (//http://www.joelmcneely.com/) has some very Tangled-esque music on it. It's worth listening to!
Anyway, I digress. His news page reveals more details about the recording of the Disney Dreams score. :D
"Joel has just completed the score to a new outdoor spectacular show for the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris. The show is entitled Disney Dreams. Joel recorded at Abbey Road in London with a 90 piece orchestra, children's choir and adult choir. It will also feature a song written by Joel for Cara Dillon."
New name to keep an eye on! :P
AH He's the Tink composer. Just realised. My last post looks ever so amateur now. :P
Cara Dillon also sang two of the songs for the Tinker Bell movies.
Can't wait!
I also figured this after I posted. Ignore my rambling on. I'm just so excited. ^_*
So excited!!! The music will make Dreams for me.
First trailer of the 20th Anniversary on Spanish television.
[youtube:277wumdk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv-kGcl8LWM[/youtube:277wumdk]
I'm really not impressed by this commercial. I was under the impression that characters were going to appear on different buildings around Europe to create a sense of event and scale. Maybe even like the Its A Small World Disney Parks commercial.
[youtube:hpilpbse]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvgpdAYPrYM[/youtube:hpilpbse]
And during the commercial there's so much dead space around the castle. I know there's a lot of offers and deals they want to promote to get people there, but it reduces the level of magic in the ad to virtually nil :( And even this late, why is Nemo still being advertised as part of the show?
I actually like this! Very cute
Although it's really a Walt Disney World advert, so it's not relevant to us. :)
I quite like the new trailer.
Is Dreams going to be more spectacular than the fountain and fireworks show they do at Versailles in France? I have a feeling that it's not, which is a real shame, since Disney used to be the masters of this kind of thing.
Check out this video of Les Noces Royales de Louis XIV.

Honestly, I can't imagine this show in cold winter days.
I share your concerns Lorum. I don't know how it will work unless there will be two versions, a warm weather version and a cold weather version but that isn't fair for guests who come in the colder months. They expect and should receive the same experience. I would hope as WDI have full control they have thought of this and put plans in place to ensure it can run in all weather.

Q
In cold months, they should use some antifreeze liquid in the lakes (this is totally absurd), because low temperatures could freeze water as it gets into the air, and this is undesirable.
Great pictures!
If it were technically possible, imagine if they built a huge glass dome over the whole of Disneyland Park. That way they could control the climate, keep the park nice and warm, and keep the rain and snow out. It'd be great really :-)
Or they could leave all their fridge doors open and keep all their TVs on stand-by and wait for global warming to take care of it.
Quote from: "Alan"If it were technically possible, imagine if they built a huge glass dome over the whole of Disneyland Park. That way they could control the climate, keep the park nice and warm, and keep the rain and snow out. It'd be great really :-)
Was this not the plan for Lava Lagoon, the water park envisioned for the resort? Surely that means that it is possible (if not, of course, affordable.)
I really don't buy the idea that TVs on standby lead to global warming. Mine uses 0.25 W of power when it's in standby mode. Using lower wattage light bulbs, or just using fewer lights in the home, surely makes a bigger difference.
Yeah, I'm 90% certain that Lava Lagoon was going to be indoors, under a glass dome, a bit like the Village Centre at Center Parcs. But a single dome to cover the entire width of Disneyland Park? That'd be a bloody big dome!
Yes, that would be a bloody big dome ;-)

InideDLParis said he was told that they'd be on a lift so that they're not visible during the day.
Sorry, but I can't see a lift. Maybe a lift was planned and DLRP cut costs again and now its static.
From InsideDLParis:
"But obviously they can't, unless these are just for tests, I am very interested to see how they will look when finished."
They better find a way of hiding those beasts during the day, what an eyesore.
They could be test units, because they're not painted. But if they are the actual units that'll be used, maybe they're using telescopic cylinders?
I don't see why they'd go to the bother of installing units to then rip them back out and replace them in a month or so. Also, they don't look very telescopic - they seem pretty standard to me, there's no definite areas or joints you can see they may collapse in to.
A test unit would make sense, it's far more costly to install the final unit only to find it's the wrong height/angle/location etc. In fact, an ugly test unit now makes a lift version more likely as that would have significant costs to install and they'd have no way to correct an error afterwards.
Let's see these pictures below.

Here we see that the water screens system are the same they have already installed. But if we take a look at the 3D render.
(//http://benicnews.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/video-26.jpg)
It's obvious, isn't it? The water screens are taller than those drawn on the plans. The thing is that they are cutting the theme rock in the right place to project images on the screens, just where the watershield is located at this time.
There is just one possibility. The water pressure head may lift up the watershield when they switch on the pump, but a water screen needs a good velocity head, so they would lose pressure.
A quick question... looking at the photos of the moat throughout the building works, Have they filled them with concrete to make them shallower since the start?
i was just wondering if the nighttime spectacular show would be doing any test runs prior to the actual celebrations? im staying from the 21st-25th march and was hoping that they might do a test run, but i dont know if they will but its just some very wishful thinking! if anyone could let me know i would be extremely grateful

If you're lucky, you may see a soft opening on the 24th. I'm not sure if they'll do a soft opening for something like this, though.

When I first read that, I started to agree with you. But I just found something that shows I may be right; except that I was looking at it the wrong way. I thought that they would retract from their current position, but -- in actual fact --
they're already retracted! The way that we see them now is exactly how they will be during the daytime.
Hopefully, they'll wrap a pillar or something around the poles to make them themed.

The foutains will be 'magically' coverd up , so of this is the only visibile thing for 'Dreams' I can live with it ;)
Another photo of ThemeParkZones.es gives us a view and it isn't that visible.
(//http://benicnews.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/dsc02954.jpg)
I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed that the fountains are visible. After what WDI did at DCA with WoC, I would have expected that they try to hide the fountains better.
But it could be much worse, couldn't it.
also, i'm trying to work out what the 9 foot hole in the rockwork is for.
Quote from: "peter"also, i'm trying to work out what the 9 foot hole in the rockwork is for.
One of the projectors for the big fountain screen in front of it. :) I wonder how they'll cover it up during the day.
Quote from: "peter"But it could be much worse, couldn't it.
It's Disney! I don't want to think, that it could be worse. Disney is known or at least was known to do things perfectly.

That's interesting to see it extended, all this speculation is driving me insane! Just wish it was April now - haha.
I'm not very happy with the "Magic Everywhere" and the Showflow is not what I was waiting for. I miss "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid".
Then the finale isn't promising, since "You Can Fly" or "The Second Star To The Right" are not the best songs to sound at the end of any show. Besides "Friends on the Other Side" isn't the most spectacular evil music.
I agree, I'm truly disappointed at the absence of The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, both have such beautiful scenes and music - I'm hoping the show ill be just as great without them.

Thanks it sounds very good I must say, sounds very epic and shall be very good to the fountains and all the other effects.
I find it quite simple, dull.
When we say 'epic', we must remember that "The Lord of the Rings", "The Stampede" (from Hans Zimmer for "The Lion King") and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are epic soundtracks. No matter how the composer has arranged the notes of "You Can Fly", this song is hard to convert into epic. And looking at the showflow, we only see "You Can Fly" at the end of the show, so we are listening to the most important section of it.
Although the evil section is one of the most thrilling of any Disney show, I can't stand the "Friends on the Other Side" song, because Disney has plenty of great soundtracks like "Poor Unfortunate Souls", "Be Prepared" or "Hellfire". "The Princess and The Frog" soundtrack just makes sense in Soundsational Parade.
The show flow I'm sure doesn't give an accurate depiction of what will happen... really. Don't forget that orchestrations can be multi-layered with multiple tunes at the same time and I for one am expecting a sensory overload... starting with the music. A huge choir and an orchestra can make the poorest of tunes sound huge, emotional and exciting. There could also be new compositions, bridges etc don't forget. The Second Star To The Right is quite beautiful actually in my opinion :)

Jump to 4:37. Thats the WoC Theme with orchestra only. Once you get to 5:08, they play the same music, this time with piano and other elements added/layered into it. There is no singing in this video but in the final product, they added the singer(s)/choir and boy what a difference it makes. I'm not saying that the orchestra itself is boring (I am a musician myself and I personally LOVE just listening to the orchestra itself) but with the added elements, it grabs your attention even more.
Listen to the final product here. Jump to 1:06 for the same excerpt of the video on top with layered elements and singing.

Oh that's absolutely right! And not only that, themes from other movies can find themselves playing on top as well. All together the score will have amazing depth
Quote from: "Lorum"When we say 'epic', we must remember that "The Lord of the Rings", "The Stampede" (from Hans Zimmer for "The Lion King") and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are epic soundtracks.
I'd call them (the final two at least) "loud" soundtracks.
Thank god the soundtrack of this show, taking the wonderful Peter Pan songs as its theme, will have an "epic" quality that extends beyond throwing as many notes at the page as possible. An emotional epic-ness, something that lifts your heart, that's more important. If you ask me, you can't get a more "epic" idea than flying up into the nighttime sky and following the second star to the right...
I can't wait to see it, I just know I'm going to love it.
I was talking about the soundtrack and not the final product.
We all know what's the difference between a soundtrack and a show, and I'm talking about a soundtrack, not a show. No matter what effects are they going to include in the show or how many layers they're going to create in the mixing. I've worked in ProTools. What we have heard here was a soundtrack example that belongs to the end of the show. I'm sure "The Second Start To The Right" is a great song to create something special inside our hearts, but the arrangement of "You Can Fly" is not as good as I expected. But it doesn't mean that I hate it. It's good!
I'm not trying to underestimate Disney music compositions, because it would be so absurd. However, the video plays the final score, completely mixed. Remember that Steve said that he has just completed the soundtrack mixing. So all the effects and 'layers' have been finished, apart from the voices.
In relation to the video of WoC, what I can hear is precisely the idea I was trying to explain. You may think I just want to criticize the work of the WDI and the composer, and there's nothing further from the truth. I must say that any creative team in the world can make such a great job.
Disney Dreams! will surely be the most wonderful show we've ever seen in DLP, and the most magical one in Europe. And problably, I'll be one of the Disney Dreams! defenders.
Edit: And now... a spoiler and some pictures.
Peter & Wendy Scene Dialogue
[spoiler:1ww96fdc](//http://i48.servimg.com/u/f48/17/28/18/73/42528210.jpg)
Wendy - Oh, Peter! C'est une nuit de rêve! (Oh, Peter! It's a night of dream).
Peter Pan - Look! The Second Star to the Right! It can take you to Neverland and any place else your dreams can take you.
Wendy - La magie de la deuxième échelle peut nous faire voyager au travers de nos rêves (The magic of the Second Star can take us anywhere in our dreams).
Peter Pan - Wendy, are you ready to fly? Off to adventure? To places beyond your wildest dreams? All we need is some faith and trust... oh, and a little bit of dust... pixie dust!
Wendy - Avec la poussière d'étoile! (with some Pixie Dust)
Peter Pan - Hey, Tink! Tinker Bell, where are you?
Wendy - Clochette! (Tinker Bell)
Peter Pan - We need you Tink!
Wendy - Clochette! (Tinker Bell)[/spoiler:1ww96fdc]

And you are asking yourself, what are those arch-shaped fountains? Well, you see.
(//http://www.images-squish.net/users/Test/57320.jpg)
Look that large brown fountain jet. Clue: it is connected to a flexible tube. Yes! We have moving fountains! This is gonna be huge! :D/
Wow! So that's what the second star to the right is? It's not just a light inside the window; they've actually cut the window open and put a star inside it!
I really need to stop looking at spoilers, now. XD This is going to be awesome!
WOWOWOWOW. So I also guess this means we're getting new animation as well?!?! This is sounding really great. That last photo really makes you realise how big this is going to be.
I am a wee bit disapoited by the films included in the show. I love that they've got Peter Pan and Hunchback, but you'd have thought Lion King and The Little Mermaid were no brainers, considering that they're two of the most popular films, AND they've advertised Ariel in almost every single visual. I was hoping they'd simply take chunks of the projection from World of Colour.
Where are these images from, Lorum?
Wow! I think I just overdosed on scenography looking at those plans, and I haven't even seen the show yet. Just think, if it's going to be that big, with just the small veiwing area that Central Plaza provides, this is likely to be seriously imersive.
Finally someone has figured out how to get Designers to do their jobs properly. I can't wait to see this finished!

I completely agree with you! And I'm sure we're getting new animations, since there's a new dialogue. The pictures were taken in the Annual General Shareholders Assembly, and I think Steve was there presenting the show, because I could hear his voice at the end of the soundtrack extract.
Edit: And now... The whole presentation of Disney Dreams! with pictures and videos. Are you ready?

I can't resist looking at spoilers. XD I wish I was going for my 18th birthday on the 12th of April. It's going to be brilliant!
I have edited again the last post because the Captian Hook's video was the same of the Peter&Wendy dialogue.
That last video is really magnificent. Gave me goosebumps through and through - the way they turned the castle into Notre Dame, and then had Quasi climb up and round, and then turned it inside out - wowowow. I can't wait for this show! By the looks of it, they will also project onto the hill at the side of the castle.
The music sounds awesome. It's great to finally have someone (Steve Davison) with an incredible VISION back at Disneyland Paris. Proper Disney magic always comes from the imagination of an individual who can visualise something beyond the expectations of guests.
Space Mountain excited guests back in 1995 for the very same reason; Tim Delaney had an incredible vision. He imagined something way beyond what any of us were expecting.
Quote from: "Alan"Space Mountain excited guests back in 1995 for the very same reason; Tim Delaney had an incredible vision. He imagined something way beyond what any of us were expecting.
I wonder waht Tim Delaney thinks about Mission 2. They should have asked him that in the Season Pass podcast. Since nearly everyone who has experienced De La Terre A La Lune, is disappointed by the new version. At least I am disappointed.
Sorry for being OFF TOPIC.
Wow this show looks fantastic loving all the concept thanks for sharing the sources. Also will the fountains likely to stay in the future or will they only be used for 20th anniversary ?
Wow - is this really happening to our Disneyland Paris?? It truly looks spectacular and to be one of the best shows ever to be presented in DLP.
Now, can it just be the 7th of August already??
OMG It looks AMAZING!!!
But they got the voice for Peter Pan all wrong. Doesn't sound anything like him.
Quote from: "Robert97"Wow this show looks fantastic loving all the concept thanks for sharing the sources. Also will the fountains likely to stay in the future or will they only be used for 20th anniversary ?
They probably will stay there for a couple of years.

Thanks, no doubt people will like them and they will be permeant unless studios gets WOC but even then I could see both Dreams at Disney Land then WOC at studios.
Interesting that they seem to have specifically chosen films that are different to the main ones featured in World of Color, which makes it awkward that they've been using those visuals of Ariel, Buzz, Simba and so on.
"Out There" was already my favourite Disney song, so to see it included was so exciting. But to see what they plan to do with that, with Quasimodo swinging across the castle... breathtaking. And breathtaking in completely its own way, it's so different to World of Color. The combination of so many effects here is more than any of us would ever have dared dream.
By the way, we probably don't need to use spoiler tags. Anyone dropping by here surely wants to have things spoilt - or to put it a better way, have their anticipation boosted through the roof ;-)
Now I'm getting exited two ! Everyone may complain that "Friends On The Other Side" isn't the best villain song ever and I agree with that because it can never beat "Be Prepared" and others but imagine what they can do with it !
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"OMG It looks AMAZING!!!

I'm neither English nor American, and I've detected that Peter didn't sound like him. //http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915814/
Slightly unimpressed by the Hunchback visuals. Extremely static, but I guess the fireworks will make up for that. But stop worrying about the music guys! It will surpass your greatest expectations :)
Central Plaza will be full of bubbles!
I don't see how they'd use bubble machines unless we were going under the sea? ;)
Peter Pan's shadow will be trapped inside a bubble.
SEQUENCE II: The Shadow At Play
The shadow passes through different Disney films. The first one will be "Beauty and the Beast" and the popular "Be Our Guest" song. Then the shadow is trapped inside a bubble (probably a bubble from champagne), and Central Plaza is full of bubbles. After that, it meets Rémy from "Ratatouille" and finally Genie from "Aladdin".
Aww, I guess hope for a Little Mermaid cameo is unlikely.
The Nighttime Spectacular sounds like it's gonna be amazing!
Our friends from Radio Disney Club show a white-background Disney Dreams! logo and a Dreams Wifi network for projection and effects.

What a let down the new advert is, badly dubbed English over French actors and clips from mostly Disneyland and WDW.

Rumoured that the 'little fountains' will be used during the day to create a magic fog which will hide the ugly foutains.
From : http://glstitch-productions.blogspot.co ... rsary.html (http://glstitch-productions.blogspot.com/2012/02/disney-dreams-20th-anniversary.html%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
That would be mindblowing, but seems unlikely to me.
Unlikely? Having it well maintained so it's effective might be unlikely, but I cannot think of another reason why they're there. The mist/fog will be so insignificant that you wouldn't get to see it when watching the show, so during the day makes sense. and it's only around the installed fountain units too. Coincidence?
I thought those tubes were for sucking up the water, but that would also make sense. I thought the fact that they were painted brown (like the colour of the water) was enough to hide them.
If they use water fog to hide the fountains system, how did they hide the water screens? It does not make sense to hide something covered with water and then to have a grey large pipe in the middle.
This show will increase water expenses, too.. lol. The evaporation of the water not only because of the sun, but also because of the spraying, especially if they're going to have the water fog during the entire day. Besides, the screens will spread water out of the lakes, emptying them.

I really doubted that we only have four colors for the fountains, because LED rings are mostly full color. Now, having the following pictures from Radio Disney Club, I think I can say they are Full Color LED rings.

Water Screen.
(//http://radiodisneyclub.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_0005.jpg)
You know, I'd be fascinated to know the budget for Dreams. It's absolutely huge and just keeps growing...
I can actually believe the perimeter tubes being used for a light fog during the day. Not just to mask the other jets poking out of the water but to cover the clear water of the moat so you can't see into it from above. It must be much shallower than the kind of water this stuff is usually hidden in, and with the bridge passing right overhead you'd otherwise get a view straight through to all this equipment... great for us newfound fountain geeks, but not very magical.
What's the latest on the water screen towers? Any idea how they'll eventually be hidden, besides being shrunk down to their lowest height? I'm surprised they weren't painted before they were installed.
I like to imagine the work at Castle Stage is to build the viewing area for those rumoured Disney Dreams restaurant packages. Free ponchos for all diners. ;-)
The round LED-lights in one of the pictures, do they count as hidden Mickeys?? ;)

You couldn't get more "exclusive" than a viewing position practically within the water screens, though. Or perhaps these diners will be drafted into the control booth to help run the show? Perfect view there.

Quote from: "Anthony"I'm surprised they weren't painted before they were installed.
There must be a reason for that. Surely it's because they're going to be covered by a column or rock work. But I can't think of anything like that that would fit with the castle's story.

I hope so, too. But I really want to know how they'll hide the ones embedded in the castle.

Q
I'm so glad we got to see them testing it back when we stayed at the Disneyland hotel and were in inventions in October although it was only the projections it was beyond lovely and we we're really surprised because we had no idea what it was lol. It looks amazing and that is without any water, fire, or lasers just projections so I am beyond excited. I cannot wait until May. I ALWAYS watch the shows before I go but this time I am going to try so hard not too because I really want it to be a surprise.

They have to test every water pump and check that every jet is working correctly. Also, they're cheking communication via DMX.

So one of the elements in the show is fire, right?
Question: Where do you think they'll place the fire? In the moat? Around the castle?
My guess is around the castle, something similar to this video below at Disneyland, CA.
Fire starts at 8 minutes.

Probably, they'll be placed on both sides of the castle. I've read they're testing some fireworks on the lakes.

DCP, but I doubt it. Beacause Disney Dreams! is not as WoC. Our show has fireworks. That means that if there're going to present 2 shows per day, they have to remove the fireworks shells of the first show and place the new ones for the second.
Steve Davinson is coming to Paris!

Wow, awesome PDF. VERY detailed analysis of all the Dreams hardware. Thanks for that Robert97. Now I just need to learn French so that I can read it :-)
Great PDF. Just one explanation related to the fountains.
Just the 6 fountains group, with the geyser type jet, have an air-compressed system. Only these fountains!
Look at these pictures.
(//http://i45.servimg.com/u/f45/11/95/97/18/photo_16.jpg)
Here, you can see the small air tanks.
(//http://i45.servimg.com/u/f45/11/95/97/18/photo_17.jpg)
Here, we can see that these are just pumps, they do not use air to shoot water.
(//http://img.esuppliersindia.com/fp/2/020/565.jpg)
This is a pump similar to the ones installed in the park.
The water screens do not need air compressed either! The PDF picture could be for the elevator (pneumatic piston), not for the water screen!
Times for the first two weeks of April are up on the official site. Week days Disneyland Park closes at 21:30 and weekends at 22:30 and 23:00.
It seems this month will be so long. We won't see so many updates.
Here are some more picture I found.
It seems that the big tents on Central Plaza are now coming down from @InsideDLParis

So much visible new technology around the castle...I don't know, but for me this looks really ugly :? But at least it wont be everlasting.
But at least it wont be everlasting.[/quote]
I think they will keep the fountains and new high tech equipment for a long time. It would be a waste of time taking down the main stage installing the equipment and 2 years they take everything down. So I can see everything stay for years to come. Disney need this type of tech to keep the shows looking fantastic and not bland like the stage shows, I know the stage shows seemed good for a limited time but the main reason they removed the stage is because they have the new equipment etc and they will keep it. Also I think in the future they can program everything differently so different shows in the future can be customised rather than having Dreams on for 10 years.
Quote from: "Patrick89"So much visible new technology around the castle...I don't know, but for me this looks really ugly :? But at least it wont be everlasting.
I don't mind the small fountains in the water, because they don't destroy the view of the castle. The lights that illuminte the castle are visible as well, but they also don't destroy the view. However I'm disappointed that Disney didn't come up with a solution for these two big metal fountains, because they do destroy the view.

This surely can't be the final look. I just hope whatever finishing touch they add, it doesn't draw
more attention to them. I'm still imagining they'll be clad or encased in some way, perhaps to look like the towers of castle stage. Hopefully something that means you never give them a second glance.
Once they add the brown dye to the moat, then we'll see how well the fountains are camouflaged. But it's weird, because they can't theme the water screen poles with the water there. Maybe they'll drain it again after Steve and the rest of the imagineers are finished testing everything. And I guess it makes sense to test them while they can be easily removed.

Looks like everything being tested, Steve Davison Fan Page posted this.
Just saw a bunch of water rising up from out of the moat! Now that's a good thing! Fun stuff!
He commented in the comments.
And yes it's really 3:30am here!
Tests finished around 6:00 am this morning.
I read on Radio Disney Club that a company, Neverland Theming Company, is working on decorating, hiding rather, the water screen pipes. I looked them up on google, went to their FaceBook page, and I believe they are! They have a new photo album named under "new project 2012" with only the 20th Anniversary logo. This sounds like great news!

Looks cosy in there!
A bit too much info there. I personally would rather Back Stage photos kept secret. Is it possible we could have a seperate "spoiler" thread?
I also think we need to be wary of spoiling things generally and disecting things before we see the final product. I don't want to stifle debate, however I am really looking forward to seeing the finished show in August. I love seeing the preparations and tests, but really don't want to see backstage.
I've put that specific photo into Spoiler tags. Probably it shouldn't be posted at all, as it is a view taken from "backstage" and hasn't been officially released by Disneyland Paris.
Any other kinds of spoilers are practically a given with a project like this though, and we wouldn't have much of a topic without them, so anybody who doesn't want to know the secrets should know to look away before now!
I would however like to ask Lorum (and perhaps others) - though you're doing a fantastic job collecting all the latest news here, please do always give attribution and provide a source for every photo and piece of information.
I think any photos on set are great, as is any written news! But thank you Anthony!
Thank you, Anthony. I will try to write sources, but sometimes I forget it.
I think that photo doesn't reveal anything about the show, unless you're working in the entertainment industry. If it's the case, I know you could guess something (number of projectors, how they have placed them, monitoring, and much more, believe me).
@ford prefect, when are you visiting the park? I'm staying from 14-18th August.
However, I'd like to apologize, if I've discovered something that you didn't really want to see.
If someone wants to know why the Castle model appears rotated, read this.
[spoiler:o1074lup]If you take a look a the hippotizers, and the preview monitor, you can see that the Castle has been rotated. I think it is because projectors create panoramic images. As the castle is too high, I think they've rotated both images and projectors in order to cover the majority of the Castle's façade.[/spoiler:o1074lup]
List sources, indeed! I know I would be ticked off to see some of the info/research I've done and see someone else claiming it. Thats why all the information I come across and post here, I make sure to list my references. About spoilers, well...Isn't this what its for?
The cascade has been activated again.

Hi, this is my first post
I believe those devices are projectors, maybe to cover more surface of the Castle sides (like in wdw)
I made a sketch of how I think those projectors (if they are) are going to be arranged for the show, i put it as a spoiler because maybe is something that somebody does't want to see or speculate...

Welcome angel!
This is the first time I say 'welcome' and I've just written my 100 post. Say congrats!
Great job, angel. This is exactly what they're doing. But some sources and forum users believe that they're temporary, just for the Press Event. The have replaced the projectors from Discoveryland to the Castle Stage.
Angel8a131 welcome to the forums, I'm really liking your ideas with that sketch nice work.
Our next challenge is to get another soundtrack extract before the show premieres. Do not try it, it's unlikely.
However, we'll probably get some fountains pictures (running) first.

Well, these are actually the most disturbing elements. But I cannot really get accustomed to all the other elements as well. Maybe, if I hadn't read about all this stuff here, I wouldn't even notice it all ;)
Lets hope the metal fountains will be covered in some way, because the status quo must not be the standard of Disney.
On Radio Disney Club in Few day... A new extrait of Disney Dreams of Second star to the right ! Just beautiful !And maybe moments villains !
Sorry for my english i'm french !
Don't worry, I'm Spanish! These guys forgive every single word I write in English. I'd like them to give me some marks. Probably, 2/10.

Look at the top window. They're working on the installation of the Second Star. He says there is a tall crane situated on the left side.
Do you think the fountains will run during the day? I think they should. The fountains that don't move, of course. I think it'll somewhat hide the equipment under water, or at least pay less attention to it. It'll be a nice feature. I found this video to show what I'm sorta talking about.

Good morning, everyone!
I've visited our forum friend website (Radio Club Disney) and I was looking at the pictures he has uploaded. Then I stopped and stared at this photo of the devices located on the Castle rooftops.

It seem a sky beam light, like this.

Obviously, devices installed in the park are bigger and more expensive than that.

That's what the DCA does during a daytime show called "Disney Channel Rocks". The difference between the WoC platform and the Disney Dreams! fountains is that the first has 1200 jets and our show just 50 (although it's a great number). If you run the fountains during the day, you're revealing at least a 50 per cent of the nighttime spectacular. Expectations will almost decrease by half.

One DCP user has specified the brand of the sky beam light. And it is Biglite.

Superbiglite 7.0 Model

In conclusion, the covered devides are not searchlights.
Edit:
More about the lighting. I've found the architectural colour-changing Castle's lighting. The colour projectors are made in Italy, it's called CityBeam, and the specific model used in the park is CityBeam 2000 IP54, it weights 52 kg (125 lb), has 2000 W of power and can be controlled via 7 DMX channels.

If you run the fountains during the day, you're revealing at least a 50 per cent of the nighttime spectacular. Expectations will almost decrease by half.
I know DCA used to put them on during the show, which is no longer there. I don't mean to put the fountains into full production mode like WoC used to do for that show, just simple running water going up a foot or two. I don't think it'll give the show away at all.
As for the mystery covered equipment showing up, I don't think tthey're projectors (too many installed already, my opinion). Its rather flood lights (or search lights, whatever), or fire. Maybe lasers...lol.
By the way, why do these projector set-ups have pairs of projectors together? Do they overlay the projections to make them clearer, or something. :)
Fultimate on MiceChat posted the following:
"Disney Dreams! will be broadcasted live on the French internet biggest television channel, MyTF1, on March 31, 10.30 pm (Paris hour).
The show will be introduced by the French presenter Sandrine Quétier."
Too bad most countries can't watch MyTF1...
Quote from: "Glstitch"Too bad most countries can't watch MyTF1...
Can't it be streamed over the internet though ?
Can someone record that TF1 show please, and make it available to us all here online? I'd love to see it.
We have to do something. Let me think a couple of days.
Quote from: "Lorum"We have to do something. Let me think a couple of days.
You can think 29 days ;)
We could use a proxy which is in France, and that way the MyTF1 webpage thinks we're in France and then allows us to watch the streaming.
Edit:
And.. It works! I'm watching TF1 right now and I'm in Spain. Anthony can check my IP address in the forum and see that is a French IP. If someone wants to know how to do this, please send me a PM.

Could you message me how many thanks.
Even though I really wish to watch the show, I'm going to be a goof girl and wait till I get to see it in person. Ha, I say this now but I know on the 31st I'll have to force myself away so I don't watch it. ;)
But is this also the Press Event like they have every year? Or do we think it's just the showing of Dreams? :)
Rumors grow around the live broadcast. People say that TF1 will only show some parts of the show, and not the entire show.
Quote from: "Robert97"Could you message me how many thanks.
I'm going to make a tutorial.
According to InsideDLParis 'Disney Dreams' will get its first public appearance on the 31st March.

I couldn't be more fed up :( I leave DLrP on the 30th :x Just have to wait until July now :roll:
It isn't public at all it is part of the Press Event .

Oh yeah. They were used during Aurora's Christmas Wish.
It seems to be projections or lasers, but not LED lights.
No more photos just yet will keep you updated if I see any. I wonder if the fountains are being tested rumours said that they could be tested.
The male presenter in this photo is Peter Andre, isn't it?

Peter Andre, exactly.
Should I be worried or excited? XD I wonder what kind of advert it is. It'll have to be broadcast in Britain (and probably that ITV2 show he does - urgh!).
Worried. Definitely.
You shouldn't be worried. Peter Andre is great. He's a good person with good morals. Him saying "I'm Peter Andre and I like Disneyland Paris" would be a much better advertisement than anything Disney have done in the last 10 years.
To me, it looks like he's reporting from Disneyland Paris, or perhaps hosting something? If it is an advert, then it's an advert for a longer show coming up in the future.
Where's Katie Price that's what i want to know, she's not hiding behind Goofy is she?
Yeah, those definitely arent LED's on the Castle. More like projections or lasers (most likely lasers). Also, just checked Radio Disney Club's web page. You can see a tiny peek of the fountains as well as some projections. Nothing major but exciting lol.

It looks like one of the promotional/competition spots they have in the middle of shows like This Morning, or perhaps something to be broadcast on 31st March with him pretending to be broadcasting live... Could the UK get its own version of the MyTF1 online stream? And I agree, that set up with the illuminated castle and the characters is way more exciting than any other recent CGI-ed TV spots.
I don't know who's Peter Andre, so I can't say anything about him.
Well, this is what he does:

I can compare the situation to some Spanish celebrities like him, but I would never be able to say that, unless.. Do you know David Bisbal? In that case, if this man says "¡Disneyland París va a ser increíble!", packages run out in one week. But David Bisbal is a worldwide Spanish singer and has been recognized throughout America.

Did you not witness the castle refurbishment? @insidedlparis confirmed last year that the castle has been embedded with colour changing LED lights. How you can mistake them for lasers is beyond me. :) closer day time pictures actually really clearly show their locations...
I thought they were projections, too. Look at the shadows, it's confusing.
I'm going to say that they're LEDs, because if they were created by laser beams or projections, surely with all that fog we'd see beams of light going through the air towards the castle?
Yes, they are LEDs.

They are LED's. They were used already during the show of Aurora for Christmas. We could see the LED's easily then.

But why did they put nozzles on was it to stop the big gush of water we could sort of see in the testing pictures. So I presume the jet radios will be thinner but still go very high just that the fountain radios isn't to big. What's everyone else's thoughts on this ?

Oh, they were putting nozzles on them? If that's the big fountains in the testing photos, then that would make sense. But I would have thought that they wanted the thick gushing water effect as well.
I thought the large fountains were supposed to be as high as the castle? Those test photos sure don't look promising height-wise.
Quote from: "15MagicalYears"I thought the large fountains were supposed to be as high as the castle? Those test photos sure don't look promising height-wise.
No doubt they will be higher than what we see :D
It is obvious that Steven didn't find what he was waiting for. I'm studing hydraulics engineering and, believe me, those fountains were not designed for that, and it may cause problems.
I think they're testing new nozzle effects, because it seems there are different models.
Any idea what time the Disney Dreams show might run? we are going on 12th, with a park closing time of 9.30pm
In that case, probably at 9:00 pm.
Hmmm, think we will have to 2 nights in a hotel then, as it sounds wayyyyyy too good to be missed! Thanks

21 and March 23 for a dress rehearsal.
Moreover, during fireworks on St. Patrick and St. David, some rockets were used in those of the party show for future tests. Despite preparations for 20 years these two fireworks are stored. Do not forget!

Today we notice small changes. Yesterday jets changes were made on the side of the moat, right (we do not see too much difference because the LED rings with the tips of the fountains were removed ...)

Great update! :D The reason for the removal of the window is to turn it into a door that will open up in order for the star to come out.

im going from the 21st -25th so i know this is going to sound silly but does dress rehearsal include the fireworks and displays as well as the parade??? because if it does my daughter and myself are sooooooo excited!!!
Hi, sorry to sort of repeat the last question but will the public get to see the dress rehersals and if so what times would they be on? We will be there and have been so disappointed that most of the things we where expecting wont be on. Still cant wait to go though!
Steve posted this on his Facebook fan page.
We had all the fountains on tonight in front of the Castle. They are stunning. I am so excited for Disneyland Paris. They will be the first to have a permanent fountain array in their moat. It is so colorful and magical it really is a beautiful enhancement to the Castle.
About water screens hidden.
For those of you worried about the Water Screen Infrastructure in the moat, no need to fear, they will be themed and tie into the Castle.
Quote from: "julesk"Hi, sorry to sort of repeat the last question but will the public get to see the dress rehersals and if so what times would they be on?
The rehearsals will be on in the middle of the night. You won't be able to see them. Sorry! :( Although you might be able to have a look from a balcony in the Disneyland Hotel.
Thank you for the reply Meph, such a shame. If we'd know when we booked last year, we would have waited a few more weeks to go. Sure our daughter will enjoy it all the same x
When will the fountains be tested so the public can see ?
They won't be able to see it until everyone gets to see them in the actual show on the 1st of April. :)
The front of the castle has a new window! :o It looks a lot more transparent.
I guess the second star to the right really is just a window, after all!

Is there no way that there's a seam in that glass? Could the entire pane not move forward so that the doors can clear the window rim?
Quote from: "GrantR"This isn't just a window. :P

That's what I thought too, but -- yeah -- I can't see any hinge or cut in that window. Maybe it's just well hidden.
The only thing I can think of is that the window will move to the edge of the frame, as the scuff at the top of the frame and position on the drawing suggest. the hinges are possibly behind the window and need to be in this position to open. How long have them marks been under the window? I have a feeling they may be something to do with the installation, unless I've never noticed them before. :P
All I can see is that the wall under the window needs so painting.I thought that they already had refurbished the Castle.

Yeah I have to say I was under the impression that the fireworks were all year round. Because of all the other stuff (lasers, fountains etc etc...) they could do the show with fewer fireworks as they weren't the focus and therefore afford them/not annoy the neighbours.
Oh, Chessy.. Chessy, Chessy.. You know how we loathe violence.. But you know how much damage you've done to Disneyland Paris fireworks and fans. I urge you to wear this wonderful ergonomic, ready-to-use, plug-and-play, special-for-fireworks, earplugs.

What are they for?
It's a shame that the fireworks may not be on all year round as i have never been during the summer time (cant persuade the bf to spend that much on the trip!) i only go during christmas time so have never seen them. I think the locals are just party poopers! especially as during christmas time the parks close at 7 (half 7 after fantillusion) so its not like it will disturb their sleep.
I don't see why DLP can't give them grants to fund for sound-proofing insulation and double glazing. That's what you get if you live near an airport, so why can't that work here, too?

Isn't it the intention for Dreams! to be more or less year round, fireworks and all. Difference is the fireworks are a small part of the show, not like a 12 minutes of fireworks
There won't be any special fireworks during the summer season , the only show that will include fireworks will be Dreams , all year long including its fireworks.
What about July 14th, will there be special fireworks for that, there always has been in the past so I assume there will be this year as it's a National holiday in France?

As far as we know the Sint-Patricks Day fireworks display will be the last for a couple of years due it can all change.
Thanks.
And now.. The first fountains picture of Disney Dreams! They are beautiful!

Yeah, they aren't! :o I never thought those smaller fountains could go that high! This is amazing!

thats a fabulous picture - i'm really getting excited for this show now :D .
Who of you are going to see the world premiere? I would like you to be close together saying "Wow" to make videos even more exciting lol.
Goosebumps!!!!! :)
If they are not the biggest then wow we are in for a treat!
They are not the biggest! The tallest jets are just a few.
Wow, they look amazing!
So glad they've put together a show that can run all year round. Surely it's far more economical too in the long term? The cost of buying fireworks vs the cost of installing and maintaining this. Seems worth it to me!
Frankly, if they can do something like this I'd be happy for them to drop the big fireworks shows with the exception of special occasions.
That picture is truly breathtaking. My excitement has just went through the roof, this really will be spectacular. =D>
On some pictures I saw that the Sleeping Beauty Castle entrance was covered with a white screen to project on , looks quite weird.

In World of Colour, they have special preshows for things like Christmas and the American Independence Day. I can imagine them doing that.
Quote from: "Glstitch"On some pictures I saw that the Sleeping Beauty Castle entrance was covered with a white screen to project on , looks quite weird.
They do that in WDW as well on the Cinderella Castle's balcony. It shouldn't be that bad.
Wow those fountains :O anyone have any idea in feet ? I have a feeling they will be higher than the Las Vagas fountains at just over 400ft but they look far to small to be over 900ft like the Dubai Fountains, but the show will still be amazing for a theme park show.
I love how this photo shows both the fountains AND work on the second star window :P
The fountains look awesome. Steve Davison is bringing some SERIOUS magic to France.
I think this show will be the thing that finally makes a lot of Europeans fall in love with Disneyland Paris, for life.
They are 150ft approx.
And please, as we are talking about dreams, give me the chance to remember the broken dreams of the al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist attack victims occurred in Madrid on March 11th, 2004, in which 191 (one of them from France) were killed and 2050 injured. The worst terrorist attack in Europe history.
I would like to dedicate this post to them and their families, those who lost their dreams in the trains that day.

This was off-topic. Forgive me. Thanks.
Very touching words there Lorum. Has that time passed already? :0
In the pic, isn't that an engineer doing something to the top window/second star? Does seem to be taking a long time to get that working. Could this be the temperamental Murphy dragon of our show?
I'm horrendously out of touch on DLP's latest firework offerings, but there seems to be 3 really good new effects in the St David's Day fireworks from last night.
[youtube:1s1vaolo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyS6n3exrpM[/youtube:1s1vaolo]
In short, all the white ones are SO impressive, powerful and have a large span. The extra twinkliness fills the dark sky for longer and just looks lovely and resemble the effect of larger firework shells. Please let these effects and more be present in Dreams :)
Quote from: "GrantR"I love how this photo shows both the fountains AND work on the second star window :P
Woh! No one else has noticed that. Well spotted! :D It definitely looks like they've got the window open.
Fantasmic music with fireworks but no fountains, I could imagine if they used the fountains for this :D it totally would beat Fantasmic .
Here is the St David's Fireworks 2012 fireworks from a far back angle.

Can someone please clarify, if Dreams starts on the 1st of April 2012, will it be performed every single night? When will it end? I read that it will be "year-round" but will they really still be doing it in October and November?
Also, how many performances of Dreams will there be per night? Probably one, right? I ask because Fantasmic is typically performed twice per night.

I think it's not. According to the press kit I have this this is the official 20th Anniversary theme song, and "Magic Everywhere" is the Disney Magic On Parade music.
If someone wants the TV spot background music, send me a PM.
Great pics, dreamdisney. But put them into spoilers tag!
Alan, I've heard that it starts on the 1st April, and is going to be a permanent show (year-round as you say). However, who knows.. The truth is that a few weeks ago I've read Dreams was going to be presented twice per night.
Thanks to Clément sur DCP for this wonderful picture. It's a fountains picture taken from Plaza Gardens.
[spoiler:14h6vyht](//http://images-squish.net/users/Free/mini/petit_58086.jpg)[/spoiler:14h6vyht]
Wow, so now we know why they never put a fountain in the middle of Central Plaza. They don't need it! These fountains around the castle shoot bigger and higher than I ever imagined possible.
Wow yet another picture of the fountains thanks for sharing.
I'm really pleased Step in Time is going to be featured, Mary poppins one of my fave films.

Umm, wasn't it decided that spoilers weren't necessary in this thread? Seeing as that is pretty much the whole point of it? And I imagine that once Dreams actually starts, this will be where people will be posting all their photos and videos. If you want it all to come as a surprise, you shouldn't be reading about it!

Yes. And then I uploaded a pic of the show control room and were asked to use spoilers again. Gospel truth.
I agree with you. If you don't want to see anything about the show, visit this fantastic website http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk (http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk"%20onclick="window.open(this.href);return%20false;).

The mechanical system of the Second Star doesn't work and is going to be
dismissed. Instead a bright light will be ignited behind the stained-glass window.
I think it was agreed that backstage photos (such as inside the control room) be in spoilers, anything showing the workings should be in spoilers, but any photos of actual show elements working I think is fine.
If you are potentially spoiling an illusion then tag it!
I guess it's just good to put it in spoiler tags anyway, out of curtsy. :)
I wonder when they decided that they won't be able to use the star. It must have been before they installed the new window.
"Out of curtsy" or courtesy even :-)
Curtsy = a woman's or girl's formal greeting made by bending the knees with one foot in front of the other.

Chéssy Neighbours Grumble.

Yes just to clarify - no need to put everything in spoiler tags. If people don't want the show to be spoiled at this point, they shouldn't be looking here! It was only, specifically, that control booth photo which seemed like it should be hidden, because it's technically a backstage view (not normally allowed) and wasn't officially released by Disney.

Off topic, in many ways I feel sorry for the residents of Chessy, they were there before DLP and had this huge mixed blessing dumped on them. Whilst it provides a huge economic benefit to the area it is also a massive millstone.
The fireworks alone would be a major nuisance. Consider: how would you feel if at 10 o'clock (or whatever time) just after you were either relaxing after a long day at work, or even just going to sleep, you are woken by the sky exploding.
That is before you consider the effects on local wildlife and pets.
I dislike November the fifth for this very reason and that only happens once a year.
Much as I love DLP I would hate to live next door.
I think our neighbours deserve our respect and consideration, don't you?
We were lucky, and i mean lucky, to see Disney dreams twice last night from our balcony. there is only one word to describe it - WOW. It is a true masterpiece of sound and vision, exciting, emotional, beautiful , fun and just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes i am going to shout it out once more WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live near an airport. Public transport every single night (4 different services/at least 10 per night). Bus stop only 10 meters from my window. I am here before the bus stop.
I don't go to sleep at 10 o'clock if the sun is still there during the summer season. In Spain, there's a village near a theme park. Fireworks every night. I don't see any neighbour complaining even before the show makes its debut.
Our neighbours must know that there are other ways to solve problems. Not just simply complaint. I've never been to Chéssy, but both park and village could reach an agreement. Euro Disney pays soundproof systems, such as windows, doors or whatever. Everyone happy.
During the Christmas season, children and adults let off bangers every day. It sounds like a thunder. My Beagle was scared the first time and began trembling.. Now it doesn't get scared any more. It is called Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
I would not like you to misinterpret my comments. I always embellish everything with my particular sense of humor. I do respect Chéssy neighbours, but I really think there are more ways to face up a problem.

Fair enough, but if that airport was there before moved in then that is your choice, equally if you are 10metres away from a road then there is a fair chance of traffic noise

Spanish culture is somewhat different from French and British, we tend not to be awake late into the night after a midday break (mad dogs and Englishmen...)
Our neighbours must know that there are other ways to solve problems. Not just simply complaint. I've never been to Chéssy, but both park and village could reach an agreement. Euro Disney pays soundproof systems, such as windows, doors or whatever. Everyone happy.
What evidence do you have that the residents of Chessy have actually complained? They may have done in the past but I can find no current indication that they are unhappy. SECONDLY: How can a company that is only just managing to stave of bankruptcy and owes €2.2billion as well as a hefty credit card bill with the Walt Disney Company afford to sound proof a town of 4000 people? Sorry, just double checked, indebtedness as of 2011 was €1.9 billion
During the Christmas season, children and adults let off bangers every day. It sounds like a thunder. My Beagle was scared the first time and began trembling.. Now it doesn't get scared any more. It is called Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
Darwin's theory is not really relevant except by linking two beagles. Christmas Season, a month or so rahter than a whole year
I would not like you to misinterpret my comments. I always embellish everything with my particular sense of humor. I do respect Chéssy neighbours, but I really think there are more ways to face up a problem.
I am a motor racing fan. People who live near race tracks bitterly complain about circuit noise. There is no miracle solution except to be calm, polite and respect the neighbours right to complain. DLP have done well to persuade the mairie to allow a years worth of fireworks, albeit a low number. Perhaps this will be a start of better relationships between the town and the resort. I hope diplomacy wins out and that fans of DLP look at the whole of the Seine-et-Marne region as a great place to go on holiday and the local residents look on the public and the resort as welcome guests

Far from it, I am only making a counterpoint to your comments. I fully understand you are supportive and respect the residents of Chessy, neither of us is "the bad guy".
Anyway, perhaps we had better end that off topic bilateral discussion and get back to the important topic of Dreams!!!
Far from complaining about Dreams, maybe they're actually quite glad not to hear two solid months of pure firework shows each summer? Of course we don't really fully know just how many "bangs" there will be in Dreams yet, but I'm guessing not an objectionable amount. This show actually represents Disney making a real investment in a nighttime show that's more suited to the park and its surroundings than just throwing shells into the sky.
I just hope, with all these 10k spotlights and multi-coloured lasers, no-one in Chessy was an astronomer... ;-)

My apologies, but I wouldn't like you to think I'm not respecting people rights to complain. Everything about earplugs or explosions is simply my sense of humour.
Returning on-topic:
· Some people on DCP say that Disney Dreams! will be presented twice per night on certain dates.
· They say fireworks will be exploding during the whole show and wonder if they aren't noisier than in The Enchanted Fireworks. They think DLP will modify the show as soon as the Americans have left Europe.
· Others say that DLP has developed a system to reduce the noise. Silent fireworks.
· LHDN92 says "De ce que j'en ai vu et entendu, la pyrotechnie bruyante est assez peu utilisée dans le show, mais par contre il y a un beau bouquet final. Et c'est celui-là qui fait pas mal de bruit et de lumière". "For what I've seen and heard, noisy pyrotechnics are just a few, but there's a beautiful final bouquet. And it makes enough noise and bright."

You might be lucky and get to see the celebration train but you won't get to see Dreams, CM's are having there first preview night on the 29th which is after you have gone home.

Woh! There's a giant Catherine wheel at the end of the video! :D
Getting Excited more and more. Thou I do feel a bit seasick after watching the video
Quote from: "Meph"Woh! There's a giant Catherine wheel at the end of the video! :D
Lets hope the Catherine wheel doesn't set fire to the castle watch the fountains pour as the castle burns :(
Wow! That was huge! Davison style. This man is absolutely fantastic. Look at the French flag he makes with the fireworks colours. It is in the last frame of the video. Left candles are blue, Catherine wheel is white and right candles are red. It's an American gift to European fans. It's amazing.
It is me, or the "Be Our Guest" version is in English? As far as I knew, it was going to be in French.
I'm more intrigued by the floating peanut in the second photograph... ;)

Why does the video have to cut out just at
that moment? The suspense!
I'm mostly impressed by the strong colours of the fireworks. Ironically we're getting a show that's "not a firework show" but will probably have better pyrotechnic effects than we've seen in a long while.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It's great that they've been so consistent with the colours in all of the effects. They give it a really unique, saturated look. The lighting even colours the smoke from the fireworks!
I'd like to see competing theme parks try and do better than this. XD

Saw the Second Star effect for the first time tonight all lit up! WOW! Is it bright. I bet you'll be able to see it from the Eiffle Tower!
then a comment back someone said Not sure the Eiffel Tower is BEHIND the castle, but from the Robinson Tree at DLP, you can see the Eiffel Tower ;-)

The Eiffel Tower isn't behind the castle. It's kind of at a north-west orientation to the castle. I drew a straight line from the Eiffel Tower to Sleeping Beauty Castle on Google Earth to set the record straight.
Basically, if you're standing in Central Plaza, the Eiffel Tower is behind the Temple of Peril.

I have a question about the fountains, will they be they different colours or plain? I know stupid question but I haven't see a photo of the fountains in a different colour yet (unless I misses that photo)
Also is that the screen on the side of the castle. It's not very big.
Yes, they're different colours. There are photos from about two weeks ago of red/green/blue LED lights being installed on them. :)
Quote from: "Meph"Yes, they're different colours. There are photos from about two weeks ago of red/green/blue LED lights being installed on them. :)
Ah thankyou! I must of missed that photo.
They're full-colour LED lights, but in the video you just see the highest section. However, I would also add some moving heads on both sides of the Castle, in order to "wash" water jets with the same colour. That's what they do in WoC.

Bubbles? Or just for the press event?
They look like fire tanks to me
Yes, it could be. But as I saw a picture in which fire seemed to be in front of the castle, I ruled it out.
This is odd: another fountain has been added. :? (@InsideDLParis)
(//https://p.twimg.com/AoCDgnxCQAMwc_Q.jpg)
Wow.. Quite odd, I'd say. The longest water pump has a different jet connected.
Steve is making people work pretty hard. I've looked at the picture and said "Wow.. This is not good". But now I've looked again and I don't really think it's bad. The more fountains they add, the more enjoyable will be the show.

What do you these fountains are could these be even bigger jets ?
There's a few long poles in it, so they might rise upwards. It hasn't been painted brown, so I think they'll put a box around it, like they did with the big jets.
In fact, they might still be unpacking it. It's got blue straps around it that they might have attached to ship it here.
These could be a different element such as fire who knows.
It looks like the fountains are strapped to the temporary orange base to hold them in place. Perhaps they're going to move them around the moat to judge where best to put them, before installing them properly.
Strange though...
Quote from: "Robert97"These could be a different element such as fire who knows.
They're water pumps. They have LED rings.
information about DISNEY DREAMS: by Jennifer Amore for DLPF
The DISNEY DREAMS show will last 20 minutes with 7 tables of cartoons. Pyrotechnics, flames, jets of water, fountains of 40 metres, screens that go out to the show.
Teams work until 6 am every day.
The show will provide visitors to the sensations of 3D to feel "in" the proposed tables.
Test images are only 10% of their quality and music orchestrated by Walt Disney World studios
Jennifer Amore for DLPF: the scene of Central Plaza has been removed and nothing can replace the so the guets can see all the elements of the show DISNEY DREAMS whatever their location at the show! : D
So the fountains will go 40 metres into the sky 131 feet.

Wow.. More pictures! Those black devices are everywhere!
They deffintly look like gas units for fire now can see them close up :D
Yes! The thing is there are just two DMX (In/Out) cables connected to them. Where is the small gas pipe?
There are some models in which gas is compressed into a bottle. You connect the bottle to the device, but you just have 200 shots at the most. Disney Dreams! needs a constant gas supply, judging by the pictures uploaded a few days ago.
Maybe they are only for the Press Event.

Isn't that fire coming from the moat :O
They're already installing the gas pipes!
A Cast Member has said Fantasyland would be the only land to remain closed during Disney Dreams!
This just keeps getting better. XD
There's also a part of me that thinks this is destroying the castle. The windows are being taken away or replaced, there's projectors hidden in its walls, there's fountains visible in its moat, there's random visible black structures all over the place...
I need to hold back my pessimism until it opens, though. It won't be as bad as I'm imagining it. XD

Well, I'm almost done with another 6 day, work all night, programming week. The show is coming along great. All the systems are online (the fire system came on tonight) and what we're seeing on the Castle is very, very exciting! We're now in the final home stretch! Can't wait for you all to see the final product.

I can't imagine launching pyro with such close proximity to the castle would be too good for it. I also kind of agree that the castle & surrounding area does seem to be sacrificing a lot purely for the show, I just hope it's worth it (although I know it will be).
Presumably though, Dreams was always in consideration for the castle refurb last year.
I imagine they've taken the effects of water, smoke, heat etc. in to consideration as much as possible when choosing how to finish the castle.
I am sure there has been pre tests before they even put anything anywhere near the Castle that could damage it. I for 1 have all confidence it what Steve Davison is doing and look forward to seeing this amazing show.

It looks like it could be the voodoo man, during friends on the other side. He puts that mask thing on his face doesn't he and looks more skull like. Probably completely wrong but that is what it looked like when I saw the picture.
How high up was the mist screen! That looks as if the poles extend up above a one storey height!
Very excited, very very excited!
The positions of those fire units seems to match with the black backstage structures as the are as high as the castle :D

I hope they do go back around once they have completed the testing and tidy up all the cabling, piping and out of place trusses, the castle currently looks a mess and 'ruins the magic' something which disney have never aloud to happen. Such extremes have been made before to prevent this happening; the whole of WDW magic kingdoms Utilidors is based on the idea that the operation of the park should never compromise the show! why let this?!

Ciel de Rêve was the music used in St Patrick's Day.
The projections are stunning! Fireworks! And I think Steve is still programming the fountains, because they are not very visible. Something is going wrong if the moat is experiencing so many changes. It seems that the biggest fountains don't work and they have removed them. Don't know what is going to happen.
Someone on DCP said that in the video the biggest fireworks effects has changed. I hope it was just because they are testing. To be honest, I'd have prefer the The Lion King, instead of The Jungle Book.

I wonder why they have a camera up here :D
Image removed
The camera is probably for security or for parade control.
I watched the video twice! In the first one I didn't notice that the fountains were there. But they are! The thing is what I said a few days ago. The fountains are too tall for the LED lights to illuminate them from top to bottom. They need moving heads, as in WoC, to do that. That is why it's quite difficult to see them in the video. However, I still think there have been some problems with the fountains and I hope this was only a testing.
We have more Disney Villains! I could see Ursula and Maleficent.
This camera is here 1 year,and on the castle 7 camera or 8.

The fountains are too tall for the LED lights to illuminate them from top to bottom. They need moving heads, as in WoC, to do that. That is why it's quite difficult to see them in the video. However, I still think there have been some problems with the fountains and I hope this was only a testing.
We have more Disney Villains! I could see Ursula and Maleficent.
I think that they didn't use the LEDs during that test. I've seen a picture with the fountains and the LEDs on and they were very well illuminated. So I think they didn't use the LEDS during the entire test

I think this was also filmed awhile back and only a few pictures got leaked onto blogs and forums because most of the past pictures we have seen is from this same angle.

Central Plaza looking much nicer now the stage has finally gone. I hope we don't see that horrible stage again anytime in the future.

At least, the "moving" fountains (because we haven't seen them moving) were illuminated.
In that video , I saw Pinocchio and the Little Mermaid ? Amazing 3D mapping and fireworks.

Quote from: "Donald-Duck-Malta"I was on youtube when I found this video...the name of the song is 'Dreams in the Sky'...must it be a part of theme song which shall be used in dreams? If that is the case...its simply WOW! Bring on the full show..its simply gonna be amazing! :thumbs:

This video shows of some of the projections on the castle also fountain & fireworks etc .Woot this looks fantastic. Also in case the video gets removed I have stored a copy on my Mac. The video is listed private so it won't show up with the YouTube tag. A funny projection can also be seen that makes the castle top spire shake, looks awesome and strange.

Waterfalls ? Should they be called the big jets in the post, anyways great post.
I think it might just be a wee translation error - "waterfall" being mistaken for "fountain."

Hi,
Please forgive my english i'm french. Actually I'm one of the Disneyland Paris Fans facebook page administrator. Some of our pictures are shared in this topic. There is no problem with that, except with the picture of video camera on the castle. we deleted this one of our page for confidentiality issues.
Would you please, remove this picture ?
Thank you.

Is that the soundtrack to Dreams or is it music over the top the user put in ? Also you have to watch the video from the link because it can't be used with the YouTube tags.

3:57 such a simple effect given all the technology but I love how they backlit the castle in to silhouette with a spread of silver fireworks =D>

There's some translation mistakes. I've read the French article and it is said that the biggest fountains haven't arrived yet! But they're coming back in just a few days.

I suppose it is, because the music doesn't sync very well in some parts then the song stops and goes to another song, plus we don't hear fireworks when they go off.
This is not music for Disney Dreams !
Disney Dreams begins with music by Peter Pan
Yes sorry for my english :s
Are you really wondering if that is the show music? It isn't! The background music is from the audio press kit.
The music is also the enchanted fireworks music ;)

Wow, so this video by PhilippeP62 has been re-uploaded at least twice now?
I wish Disneyland Paris themselves would release some official preview images, video clips or information about Disney Dreams. They could have really built some anticipation around this show, but the silence is deafening. I presume they'll just publish everything they've got on 1st April, completely overwhelming us. They really need to learn the power of teasing people and trickling out information over several weeks.

Probably using some of the previous cgi clips too making most people believe it to be an April's fool joke... <- :lol: too obvious with that date..
No, it's a situation in which they could really learn a lot from e.g. the american parks. Look how much they show from Cars Land, Storybook Circus and back when World of Color opened we saw a lot during the building process too. That stuff reaches the whole world when it is of this quality (which indeed Dreams is too). I really agree that they still have a lot to learn here. The sooner, the better.
Did you notice the expectation? It is increasingly disappearing.. Why? Because we haven't seen anything new. That's exactly what Anthony said.. All we can do now is to wait. And I don't know about you, but I'm getting bored.
How long will the show last for?
An hour?
I must agree, I'm getting rather impatient over the progress. My excitment peaked quite a few weeks ago.

OMG the Second Star to The Right!^_^
Wow! It's so bright!
Good luck to those that watch the show, try not to blind yourselves looking at the second star.
Maybe, we should invest in sunglasses for the star part? ha! It looks like it might burn ones eyes!!

Great rehearsal tonight of the show with a lot of bells and whistles. It is really starting to come together. So much fun!!! Almost time to unveil this magical show!

@DLRPToday Confirmed:
Two performances of Disney Dreams! on 1st April 2012, at 9.30pm and 10.30pm
There will be 2 prefomances of Disney Dreams ! every night ... and Steve Davinson posted something that the show will have seasonal overlays :D
Quote from: "Glstitch"There will be 2 prefomances of Disney Dreams ! every night ... and Steve Davinson posted something that the show will have seasonal overlays :D
Yep he said this to a following commenter on Facebook.
Thomas. Usually when we open a show we leave it alone for about a year so everyone can see it. I do think over time we will put new Dreams in the show and keep refreshing it. We have amazing technology here in the show that will allow us to do just that. And I think seasonal shows will be a big hit too.
Quote from: "Glstitch"There will be 2 prefomances of Disney Dreams ! every night ... and Steve Davinson posted something that the show will have seasonal overlays :D
Two performances every night or just April 1st? Every night seems a bit drastic and unnecessary. Two on weekends and the summer season seems a bit more understandable.
Wow, if this is true. They've gone from one extreme to another. Barely any nighttime entertainment, to a full on in your face show, twice nighty.
Yes , every night two Disney Dreams ! (probabaly until March then they will switch back to 1.
Quote from: "Glstitch"Yes , every night two Disney Dreams ! (probabaly until March then they will switch back to 1.

I'm not sure what's going on with the fireworks, I'm just saying if the 2 shows involve fireworks all year round I bet the locals would love that. I have no idea if fireworks will just be added for the Summer Season.

Yep, you are definitely going to need Kleenex !! The first time I saw the rehersal last Monday I howled, howled half an hour later when I saw it again and on Thursday guess what - yes I howled a bit more !! (the sight of the new parade floats and the new parade song got me going too. Forever greatful to the wonderful member of staff who allocated me the BEST room ever. ) Of all my Disney experiences this has got to be the pinnacle.
Wow it looks amazing. Two shows a night seems extreme during the quieter season would hate for this to occur and then the locals moan and no fireworks at christmas time! I do hope there are fieworks this christmas time as i've never seen them and i think Dreams looks favb with them from what we've seen.

It's going to be streamed via TF1 at 22:00 or 21:00 (21:00 or 20:00 in the UK, Portugal and Canary Islands for me! lol). Then the full show will be uploaded to YouTube. That's what appears on Central Plaza.

Central Plaza next to the middle of the square, and one exhaust, below the bridge deck, were added. Anecdotally, there is not two weeks, the road at Central Plaza Castle was still within 3 cm of water after a performance of Dreams (with the 12 most powerful fountains removed for now).

From Steve Davison's FaceBook fanpage:
QuoteTonight we completed the final programming of DISNEY DREAMS! It was a lot of work and I can never thank the production team enough for all their efforts. This was a very diffucult show to create/produce, but everyone stuck with it and gave it their all! Thanks Team Dreams! Whew! We're all very exicted to premeire the show.
There's lots of activity in the park tonight as they prepare for the 20th! For me, I think I'm going to call it an early night.
Q
I hope people won't be disappointed when they find out the fountains aren't as big as they thought they would be.
Fountains won't be as big as they were going to be. However, people don't think the fountains height is the most important piece of the show. Bigger isn't better.
Bigger isn't better unless it's a parade float?
Bigger isn't better. Always.
Where did you read "a parade float must be big if you want it to be good"? I was revising my posts and I didn't find it.
Definitely, I'm the bad guy here. :lol: If someone says the same I've said before, no comments. If I say something you don't share.. Ready, aim, fireeee!!!!
I have never done anything wrong to you, none that I know of. All I did was quoting you in large. That's all.

Have they put new ones around the whole area for Disney dreams?
Some weeks ago we were wondering how high they were. I think I said 150ft but just a few days later the official version was they are 120ft. WoC fountains are 200ft, so our fountains are really tall!
Quote from: "Daniel"Have they put new ones around the whole area for Disney dreams?
Yes! :D Or maybe just for the press event.

So no sign of the massive fountains :( still
So with Disney Dreams! about to premiere on Sunday, does anyone know what time it'll be on each night? And will it be once per night, or twice per night?
Surely if it's only on once per night, starting as late as 10pm, a lot of kids aren't going to see it because they'll be too tired!

We had our final two rehearsals tonight! They went great. All the press shots are finished and the show (other than 2 final notes) is complete! Thanks Team Dreams for all your hard work!
Cast premiere tomorrow! I going to love to see the show with a full audience.

I'm surprised how well the fake blocks blend with the other fake rocks.
I guess the projectors covered in the themed sheets will not be ready and covered by "real" rock work until the first showing on the weekend?
Did Disney already theme the big metal fountains in the moat?
No those plastic covers are not the definitive theming a company (Neverland Projects) is working on the final theming of both the projectors and the water screen towers. Maybe they have a little delay ?
Anyone know if Cast Members are permitted to take photos or anything tonight?
One of them told me they can! I'm asking him to film the show.. Let's see if he wants to!

I hope to see some photos pop up via some of my CM friends tonight then hopefully :)
I'm going to wait for a video and watch the live stream as it will be professionally filmed.
Off topic, but does DLP usually have those electric street cleaners out during operating hours :? ? Or was this as part of the set-up for the press event?
I think we will see some official photos tomorrow of Dreams :) due to the press event being tonight.

The Castmember preview of Disney Dreams is about to start! No spoilers from @InsideDLParis tonight!
I guess they'll start theming everything after the Easter holidays. It's a tough schedule the Dreams Team were against. It's mad when you think that just over two weeks ago, the moat was empty and full of engineers.

Disney Dreams meet at this very moment of PROBLEMS! Cast Members will have to wait a few more minutes!

Wow! Love it!!!!
First reactions of Cast Members! Beautiful show, amazing music! And some say they're not very happy with the fountains. Fireworks are like the ones we saw in The Enchanted Fireworks.

Cast Premiere tonight. It was so great to see it with a full house. The team loved hearing the cheers the Cast was making during the show. it was a fantastic night!
It's a great feeling making magic!
Thank you, frog!
Other Cast Members said the fireworks are incredible! And noisy! Some people have cried at the end of the show.
I feel some kind of.. I don't know how to say it.. in the Steve words on that comment. I don't see him very excited.
Edit: Some CM got disappointed by the animation of Quasimodo in the Hunchback of Notre Dame scene.

They used to have these as a preshow in the early days of WoC at DCA.
Q
It's finally up - in really bad quality and filming
What à finale....!
D23 released a nice article about Dreams and DLP's 20th Anniversairy:
http://d23.disney.go.com/news/2012/03/d ... 23_FanFare (http://d23.disney.go.com/news/2012/03/d23s-first-look-at-disneyland-paris-20th-anniversary-disney-dreams-spectacular/?CMP=EMC-eml&att=20120329_D23_FanFare%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
Hopefully the new D23 magazine covers the 20th birthday of Disneyland Paris.
Loving the be out guest scene and how they use the can can music then the curved fountains amazing. Then the rest of the show really good :).
I'm going to wait till tomorrow and watch a high quality video. watching a low quality video is just not magical for a first time viewing.
Also I was told no Cast Members were allowed to film Dreams last night so whoever did so was very sneaky.
I really wish I had not watched the video as yes it is really bad quality and you only see it from 1 view. I am going to reserve judgement until I see it on Saturday on Youtube
It's completely different to what I expected, a lot more fireworks and a lot less fountains. I'm gonna hold off from judgement until there's a better quality video, because I get the impression this may not do it justice.
I haven't watched the video but I presume the lack of fountains is due to how close the audience are to the fountains, and they'd get soaked if they were used more.
I watched the video, but due to the bad quality, I can't say anything. However the fireworks looks good.
I haven't watched the video I'm going to wait, but I just knew people would start complaining about the fountains.
I don't know why anyone would want to watch a really bad quality video on what is supposed to be the best show DLP has had. We waited this long, what was one more day going to do?
So what's the main issue with the fountains? Is something missing that was planned to be there? Was something changed or taken out of the show? Or... were people simply expecting the fountains to be used more in the show than they actually are?
I've watch the first seven minutes of the show and then I've stopped it. I'm going to wait until tomorrow evening.
[spoiler:1v3x946y]Beautiful pre-show music. Magic Everywhere slow instrumental.[/spoiler:1v3x946y]
I think the show is quite good. But I can't say anything else, because I want to wait one more day. As littlemermaid83 says, we've been waiting for so long, why don't wait a bit more?
Oh isn't it fabulous? I've wondered for so long what would actually happen visually at each moment and they seem to have exceeded my expectations at every point - perhaps with the exception of the Jungle Book segment. Not a lot going on there. The finale is pretty much unparalleled and breathtaking in its own right. I'd be lying if I wasn't expecting a more constant barrage of effects all the way through, but I do like how they've used them in little pockets of fun (the flames for just a couple of mins - if that etc). Lasers not too visible but these never translate well on video.
And how about all the pyro on the castle? Really is a centrepiece :)
I think the parts that have the curve fountains crossing the castle would of had those big fountains rise up from the moat. Question is why did they get removed ?
15:54 When the fountains are illuminated green and are very high, so maybe Steve thought the other fountains went to high so he decided for them to be removed or the crowd may of got soaked on windy nights.
I have watched every Disney show, parade, ride, etc that has come new since I was able to find them online. This time, I don't want too. I have waited this long. I will wait until I go in May, mostly because you will never get the full effect in video. You need to be there, the fountains and projections dancing before you eyes and the music dancing in your ears. To belittle the show or complain about it before seeing it is just silly. GO TO DISNEYLAND AND WATCH THE SHOW. hahah then make comments :D
Well I just had a little peak at that video posted by The British Frog. Phew, the REALLY TALL fountains are definitely still in the show. It looks awesome. I love how tight Disney are with their timing. Everything is perfectly synchronised to the music. They play with fountains and lasers and fireworks as if they're musical instruments.
My only concern is, when the park closes at 10:00pm, 10:30pm or 11:00pm, will they really perform Dreams that late (at closing time)? Most of the nighttime spectaculars at Walt Disney World take place at 9:00pm or 10:00pm, which is late, but not so late that everyone starts to fall asleep.

It's a question of lattitude. In the summer the sky just won't be dark enough in Paris, a problem that Florida doesn't have.

Just watched a few seconds of that video and I love the waterfalll effect on the castle! Beautiful.
The Jungle book part looks a bit boring but shall reserve judgement till I watch the whole thing tomorrow.
So the whole show will be streamed tomorrow or a selection ?
Quote from: "Robert97"So the whole show will be streamed tomorrow or a selection ?
The whole show.
Just watched a few minutes of the video from Le Parisienne and it looks stunning! And easily the best night time show (arguably the first) of DLP... I am looking forward to seeing the whole thing in top quality (live) this summer, although I might not be able to keep away from watching a video before that! :lol:

Yep it sure will make a good day time show the fountains themselves. Also I think it will come in handy standing along the bridge getting soaked. Maybe a special show like when the rumours came around when this topic first got posted. Can see the curve fountains come in very handy for a summer show.

I got goosebumps from the music truly spectacular with the added addition of all the effects. Now just the live stream tomorrow can't wait. Also I do hope the stream is full 1080p.
Perfection
Cant wait to see the live stream .
Would have liked to have Tinkerbell back flying from the castle But this had me getting goosebumps and yes Im sure Ill have a few tears in my eyes when I see this live
Woooow! That video is stunning!! I'm loving this show!
Ohhhh! I don't wanted to see the finale until tomorrow, but I did it. I didn't notice it was going to be the end. Well, doesn't matter.. All I can say is.. For me, this is one of most spectacular finale I've ever seen. I'm so critic and you know. But today I can say this is one of the most amazing Disney shows in the world. And I am so happy for me and for you. Because we're worth it! (l'Oréal, lol). We did it, we have a great show in our park, congratulations friends!
Guess what guys! I found this latest video of DREAMS which was taken during the preview of DREAMS for all cast members last thursday...its not the full show but at least the video and sound quality is good :D
Anyone interested to watch is most welcome too!I put it in spoiler just in case some want to wait until the premier to watch and all... 8)

THIS YEAR IT THE YEAR TO BE @DISNEYLAND PARIS! =D>
Can't wait to watch the full show premier tonight now! :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/
Ok, I am confused. Probably just me being blonde, are the light up characters part of the show? Like the genie etc?
Those light-up characters are just being used as a simple pre-show warm up right now. I don't think we can expect them to stay however. They were used during the early days of World of Color... and now flown to us. Cute! Personally I'd like them to stay for nights when there is no Fantillusion Parade...

Daytime Fountain show around Sleeping Beauty Castle
Tested yesterday for the first time in public..
A little fountain show, using the 'Dreams' Fountains around our Castle, on a medley of music from Disney Princesses.
This little show will be performed daily, serveral times a day to promote the Immersive New Nighttime Spectacular, 'DISNEY DREAMS' — at Disneyland Paris.

The fountains don't go really high but it is still very good, unless it's the video angle. Shame about the curve fountains no crossing over the bridge much but I'm sure they will program a summer show.
On a totally different and technical note, I really wasn't expecting that 'screen' to be layered over the castle gate/entrance to increase the projection area. Nicely done - just hadnt expected it :)
I'm doing my best not to watch the clips and wait for the live streaming, just a few more hours to go. I'm seriously excited now :D/ :D

The day has arrived! Today is the premiere of Disney Dreams here in Paris. I'm nervous as always, but the show is ready to give to the world!

Today is the day.

Very excited!
Boo Yah suckers! Haha. My prediction was correct. The fountains will be used a couple of times during the day as I expected. It does not give the show away at all. To me, it adds excitement to what's to come at night. Here's another vid from Inside DLParis:

For some reason, I think the puppets fit better in Paris than in California lol. They were also used in the christening for the Disney Dream ceremony. Here was the concept of the puppets back from 2010. I guess you can say those puppets go on a 'world tour' hahaha.

Use #disneydreams and #magicforum on Twitter. We want to be trending topic tonight!!
We should clarify how to watch the YouTube's live streaming broadcast. In a few hours, the official Disneyland Paris YouTube page will be re-themed and you'll be able to watch the premiere.

Well if I could I would save it for a big surprise for my next visit. But I know that's just not going to be possible, and i'll have watched it many times on Youtube before I see it in the flesh.

Good question. Streaming videos on YouTube? This is new to me as well. (Sounds so 2003. Next we'll have to install Real Player or something, then spend the whole night buffering.)
As for whether or not to spoil it for yourself by watching videos online; I find these shows are much better when you've already familiarized yourself with the music and the flow of things. When you can sing along with "Out There" in French, your viewing will be so much better.
Wot time is it on? Cn sum1 send me the link plllllllllz

It isn't searching it in for me
On TF1 I'm watching The Voice.. So I don't know what is going on..
I think that ridiculous Easter advert has had plenty of views tonight!!
im still waiting but nothing on youtube
Don't give up guys. Disney is always late on its Events. At least we have a player that trys to connect.
Its live here NOW as mentioned above http://20e-anniversaire.disneylandparis ... e-web-show (http://20e-anniversaire.disneylandparis.fr/disney-dreams-exclusive-web-show%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

AMAZING, I am an emotional wreck now. I can't imagine how much effort went into that, I am SO excited to see it for real!
That was amazing! So happy with this :D
Where was the LED star though? That was all that was lacking for me.

We have just watched the whole thing on there and it is AMAZING :D/ =D> :mrgreen: :thumbs: 8) :shock:
That was truly fantastic. Shame about the Star - must still be having teething problems.
Not going to lie... I was almost managing not to cry for a second, then [spoiler:2op58z8b]Pegasus![/spoiler:2op58z8b]. Not a good time to be wearing headphones in a room full of family...
One word right now: wow!
I want to see it ALL 4 nights in august - why can't it be august yet?? :)
Well, how utterly amazing! Superb! Loved it! Had it on full screen, with sound up high. Watching it again now.
My DH watched it with me, and was more interested in seeing the moon and Venus in the sky.....( amateur astronomer ).
So excited about seeing this in June - which it was sooner.
Well done DLP!
Cn any1 fit me hubby and 2 kids in their suitcase plz??? Cnt afford it this yr :-(
So, i heard it wasn't live at all, but a recording... according to someone there, there are differences between the love performance and the webshow
Just watched it and felt transported back home to the magic ! Great to see it again as my camcordings are ok but not great. If you think Disneydreams is fantastic on youtube believe me it isnt a patch on actually being there and experiencing it in the flesh !! Doesnt the section from Tangled give you goosebumps.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT WAS THAT??????????????????????? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT!! WHAT A FINALE!!
I'm uploading it to YouTube!!
wow that was amzing! EVERYONE MUST WATCH THIS!
Making my family watch it as we speak hehehe :)
Well done Disneyland Paris!
The show looks great, it's much more vivid than I thought, but it did make some of the characters look unusual on their backgrounds? Nice re-use of some Fantasmic bubble trapped characters too!
Once again though, I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see a locked off camera version of the show, this was far too cutting around for my liking, all of the fading and angle changes meant that I didn't see everything, it was more close ups on parts.
(Fountains look much better now though!)
Beautiful loved it! Cant wait until June now!
Will it be online tomorrow ? Really want to show dd

I second that, Tangled made it for us. Cant wait to show my daughter! Thank you DLRP :D/
We watched a recording of the show from yesterday or a couple of days ago. They obviosly did some editing inbetween, but to sum it all up: Its not as Magical and Spectacutlar as WoC, but I absolutely loved it! The finale is a masterpiece in itself. Best Nighttime Spectacular we''ve had in Paris since the opening of the resort.
It looks like these fountains came back judging by the hight.

Let us know when it is pls! :D What a show!DISNEYLAND PARIS IS THE PLACE TO BE THIS YEAR! SEPTEMBER WHERE ARE YOU!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
INCREDIBLE. On the page though it implied that there would be stuff up until midnight...does that just mean the page will be up till then then disappear?
far better than I was expecting..will be there in 10 days....where to go for the best view I wonder?
WOW. That was truly amazingly magical. I had goosebumps as if i was there watching it for real. BATB made me tingle but Tangled made me cry. I love the fact if you didnt know it was the castle you wouldnt know it was. Utterly stunning. I cant wait to see it although i wont be going till christmas time. I'm utterly gutted i cant see it sooner.
This is completely out of this world an true Disney masterpiece!
Wow just wow just wow. Can't wait to see it in the flesh, you could just tell that it will look a thousand times better when you're there and it looked great as it was.
[spoiler:8bp623iv]Favourite bits had to be when they made the castle jump around, the waterfall effect, and Pan ducking under the Castle 'cover' but LOVED it all.[/spoiler:8bp623iv]
Quote from: "MagicKenny"So, i heard it wasn't live at all, but a recording... according to someone there, there are differences between the love performance and the webshow
Judging by the position of the Moon and Venus, what they showed was filmed on Monday night. (26th)
I'm also an astronomer! :D
I'm trying not to see it so that it's still a surprise when I see it live. It's great to hear the reactions, though!
(Also, it was kind of ironic that the show premiered during Earth Hour, when we're meant to switch of our lights. XD )

I have never seen WoC, so I can't compare. But to me that was magical and spectacular! The work and effort that has gone it to that is totally unreal. There have been comments about an issue with the star, but I didn't notice anything wrong with it at all. To me it was perfect. The 'Friends from the other side' bit was amazing, the projections on the Castle were fab! I loved it, I know my kids will love it, even my husband will not fail to be impressed by it.
I actually feel really proud, I don't know why, I had absolutley nothing to do with it. But I'm proud that the place we have all loved forever and defended against critics has come up with something as spectacular as this. Compared to the entertainment we've had in the past few years, this is just awesome. Disneyland Paris can hold it's head up high now!
ONMG, just seen it!!! DS is gonna explode :D what a spectacle, can't wait to see it in person. Pity the Hunchback excerpt was in french, but I suppose it is apt being that it was set in Le Belle France =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
Wow. =D> =D> =D> =D>
Excellent show, wonderfully produced.
I think the Peter Pan vehicle is perfect and puts a classic Disney feel all the way through.
Can't think of a favorite scene as so many moments stand out.
Based on video alone, I'd rather see this than WoC in fact.
Now, Disney Showtime Spectacular anyone?
Absolutely incredible. It took 20 years, but Disneyland Paris has a night show that sits more than comfortably among those of the American parks. I'm very, very happy.
"Out there" (Rien qu'un jour) did it for me. Quasimodo climbing the castle-turned-Notre-Dame, and that song that I frankly had never expected to hear at a Disney park again!
Too bad about the star, though, but ah well, they'll fix it. Also: The Genie was a bit mute.
I watched it here

You're right...how ARE they going to top this? This seems better than any ride you could ever experience at the moment.
Another show for WDS...a la Fantasmic?
DREAMS was immense!
I noticed the Second Star wasn't working.

Quote from: "Lorum"I noticed the Second Star wasn't working.
On TF1 it was working ......
I just watched it on the mytf1 and that is not the same video as I saw on the official site. This video had the star working and it just made the show even more amazing.

I noticed the star, but no matter this time because the show is magnificent. I've been trying to think of a favorite part but I can't because I thought it was all wonderful. I will single out Aladdin, Hunchback and I'm glad they found room for Tangled. Now all I have to do is wait until July when I can see it for myself.

wowsers!!!!!. it looked fantastic. way better than i thought it would be!!
If anyone is still to watch it, go for the MyTF1 version - it's in MUCH higher quality.
The TF1 footage appears to from a different showing, and is generally a more better recording that the version shown on the DLP/Youtube pages.
Camera angles are different, height of shots etc. If you've only see the DLP/Youtube version, have a look at the TF1 version.

Iain
Does any1 know how long it's running for??
So this was recorded 30th March http://www.tf1.fr/disneyland-20ans/ (http://www.tf1.fr/disneyland-20ans/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) ?
High definition!
It is still playing on that link - I am still watching it. The technology and skill to put this together is incredible. What a brilliant job they have done.
As a poster mentioned before, for those of us who spend our days promoting DLP, defending it against bad press and those who run it down, with all the refurbishment and now Dreams, we really can be proud of it now.
The TF1 video is indeed much better! Almost certainly the one that will go into the vault as the definitive video of the show. However, they used the same Genie-less audio track. I hope they didn't actually cut his singing?
I've also uploaded the video.

Amazing show, wish I could go see it live.
Absolutly Amazing Absolutly Fantastic Absolutly out of this world
By the way, I do an amazing impression of Wendy repeating everything Peter Pan says in French in the manner of Eurovision hosts, done in an excitable fake French. Soon on YouTube.
So THAT'S what the star looks like... so much better :)
Also, in the intro music, I love all the little references to Paris' previous tinkerbelle fireworks shows
Im still a bit of an emotional wreck about the whole thing. Just watched it again.....love it even more that last night! Im so looking forward to seeing it live in the summer :D/ I used to cry at Enchanted fireworks and didn't think that would happen again but by the end of Dreams! I was sobbing :cry: It was so beautiful.
Well Done Steve and the whole team, its better than I could ever have hoped. Walt will be proud =D>
So in the Programme 01/04 - 06/04/2012 it says:

So how much will this cost? And where will the VIP people get to watch Dreams! from?

40 euros for Adults, 20 for Kids. VIP area is in front of Casey's Corner. I've got mine booked and can't wait!
more details here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12873&start=21 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12873&start=21%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
Oh right, thanks for clearing that up. There was a rumour a few weeks back that the VIP seating area would be in the middle of Central Plaza. Casey's Corner sounds more practical and realistic.
I still haven't allowed myself to watch the full thing. I want to keep the full show for when I can watch it in-person, that hasn't stopped me watching a few clips though :lol: .
I'm not watching it until I can see it in person, with my son by my side. Which is only in May so don't have long to wait. One thing I have to ask, does anyone know if people were sitting, or standing?
So since my last post, an hour ago, I have given in and watched the full show. It is truly spectacular, unlike anything DLP has had before and on par (if not better) than anything the states have at the moment. I can't wait to see it in person as I know it'll be even more magical.
I've already watched it four times now. I know it's going to be difficult to stage it every night without something ever going wrong, but I hope they don't start cutting back on the fireworks, especially during the finale.

I will be really upset if they cut alot of the fireworks from the finale as its one of the most breathtaking scenes I have ever witnessed!
Wow, it's stunning. I've watched it several times and keep spotting different things. I love the way the turrets are turned into rockets, but the bit that had me welling up was Tangled. Can't wait to see it in June, have a feeling I will be blubbing all the way through.
We have a beautiful park and a show to be proud of =D> :D/ =D> :D/ =D> :D
To think I was sceptical when I first heard about a castle show at DLP with fountains, DLP has certainly done us proud.
I'd think they will cut all the fireworks on most performances - don't they only have certain times they can use fireworks? I thought the lasers were the most amazing part - what they did to that castle was just mind blowing.
It was amazing, can't wait to see it - 5 weeks today!

As Pirate Steve just mentioned, will this be the show everyday now? Plus any ideas if its here for the entire year or just a few months? Just trying to decide when to go next, really difficult as only just got back. :thumbs:
I'm pretty sure the fireworks will not be getting cut. This is the full show we've received and (unless something happens) this is the show that'll be shown each and every night of the anniversary.

Well actually that was the launch/press show. I wouldn't assume that will definitely be the one that will be shown every single night from now on. They have always claimed that fireworks have to be limited, and have not announced that those reasons have now been overcome.
Have only watched little bits as I think you really need to see these things live, but it does look pretty spectacular. I just wonder about the timings. If we go in the summer which I had half planned, then surely the show is going to be too late for most kids? Which means too late for most parents too. Maybe better to wait until autumn/winter!
It's not as if the show has non-stop, large shell fireworks. They use general, pretty quiet, ground-level pyro at points throughout the show. I honestly do not see a problem with the show running the way it is all year round.
I also seriously hope the fireworks stay, I know the locals will complain like its the end of the world but they really do make that show spectacular, I'm off to Florida in September but this if it stays in its current form will have a trip to DLP from me early next year!

I agree, if they cut them at the end especially it just ruins the whole finale imo. It won't come off as breathtaking as it looks in them videos.
The "fireworks" will stay in the show I assume.
It's true that Disneyland Paris can only do a few nights a year of real fireworks, like New Years eve for example, from what I read they are allowed to do so up to 5 nights a year (but i'm no expert about their contract stipulations with the French gov).
So from what I read they got around this by useing pyro effects that look like firework for like their nightly summer "fireworks" show , which technically are not fireworks, and have less to almost no noise pollution.
Last summer season we sadly had to leave early a few nights because of younger kids that wanted/needed to go home in our group, and we once saw the "fireworks" show from the parking lot, could not hear one bang there because of them being just pyro effects.
The issue concerning neighbour relations was discussed at length on page 38!
The fireworks are not very noisy, just the finale. I think this time neighbours won't complain.
The Americans are asking for the show to be in the Magic Kingdom!
Quote from: "Lorum"The Americans are asking for the show to be in the Magic Kingdom!
I'm not sure if I can see this happening, Wishes is the most spectacular and beautiful fireworks display I've ever seen and it's not all that old (compared to the 32-year-running Fantasy in the Sky fireworks display). Who knows though, we have got ourself an absolutely flawless night-time spectacular. Why wouldn't other resorts want it too :lol: ?
Does anyone know how the second star effect works? it looks like it is mounted onto the front window of the castle but is not there during the day. I know in the previews there was some art work showing the top window opening and a star coming out, but the star we have now actually looks larger than the window so I'm trying to work out how it is being done

The shape of the star, the outer glow, is projected.
Q
I think the star was installed for the TF1 specail it was prerecorded and they had the star installed its wonderfull wish they had the star full time, makes a big difference have a look at the full star effect here
http://www.tf1.fr/disneyland-20ans/ (http://www.tf1.fr/disneyland-20ans/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
The star on the TF1 special is definatley mounted onto the front window you can see it from the side views...the question is how is this done and will it be done nightly? I've seen the youtube video of just the projected star version and its not as spectacular as the one with the physical star
i dont think they will use it, i think they had it in the plans, but could not get it to work, i think a star permently on top of castle during the day would be no good at all, the plan was for the window to open and a star to appear from that on an arm it was planned to move to the right , but now it will be projection only..
They could install it every night, depending on the system.
that woud require crane etc and men on roof, during operating hours would not happen.. unless they get the window opening and mechanical star emerging from that, but i think it proved to difficult or cost consuming.

dlrp had there version of wishes, it was brilliant for the time, but im glad to see that paris sets the trend again, it was also paris that came up with the idea of the christmas castle overlay.. which was exported to the other parks.. well done
how far we have moved on, even though wishes paris was one of my favourites, dreams is BRILLIANT
wishes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9VRFX1x ... re=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9VRFX1xQGQ&feature=related%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I personally didn't like Paris' version of Wishes, probably due to the fact I saw the WDW version first which was just outstanding. But back to Dreams, I can see this being exported (though maybe not identically) it's an amazing idea bringing all aspects of previous night-time spectaculars and making the most magical of them all.
Is it not accessible from inside?
no access internal to the top tower,
Wow! So we'll not see the Second Star.
Shame if we don't get to see the 2nd star, seems a bit pointless using it just for that one show.
I read they didn't use it because they had some troubles with it?
they could not get the window mechanisim and star to appear working, just projection from nowon, i think it was meant to appear from the window behind the tower
Why don't they simply make the window spin 180? on its vertical axis? You know, have the stained glass effect on the front, and on the back have an array of bright LED lights. That would be far simpler, mechanically speaking.
they dont have the room behind, its solid concrete
Pretty sure it's not solid concrete there are construction pictures around that show the tower before the windows were installed and you can see that it's hollow inside....on the highest balcony of the main tower they have even left a door open once that shows there is room in that tower
and the star was quite clearly working on the TF1 video shot a couple of days after the one shown on the official site (which also didn't have the lasers) :?
(I'm also an architecture student, and there is no way on earth you'd make the top of the castle out of solid concrete, not a chance)
the final piece of the tower where the star is is one solid piece, built on ground and craned ito place, ther is no show room, no internal access, is solid concrete upon a solid concret base.
there is a video of construction also plenty of pics online topping out the castle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RGWiknDR2g (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RGWiknDR2g%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
they are built from solid concrete because of the harser weather in france and low temps, the other parks have fiberglass , overlay on steel frame, tower of terror in paris is also solid concrete in america steel frame with cladding.. the tower of the castle is def made from one solid block

(I'm also an architecture student, and there is no way on earth you'd make the top of the castle out of solid concrete, not a chance)
I'm an architect (for 8+yrs now) there is no way that top part is solid concrete....it's made of concrete yes but there is internal space there for sure
ye im sure there is just on that part for electrics etc, , but the whole castle was poured concrete, no access from below as its all solid concrete, no stairs, only access would be to crane up there, im 100% its on solid base, the rest of the towers is solid, but i think this one is different , im sure there is no show room etc..
Video from tonight, the star IS working!!

Its the way the tips of the star go over the lip of the window - how does it fit in side? Perhaps it folds open, like a flower?
brilliant can wait till august
The video shown in the DLP park was not live. Yesterday the star did work. Before the show, the top part of the castle was dark for some time and then when the show started it was there

Thanks everyone for the outpouring of kind words about Disney Dreams. It was not an easy show to create. In the end the team is very proud and we can never thank you enough for your support.
We saw it twice tonight for the first time with a packed house. It was amazing to see the reactions of the crowd as they watched in amazement.
I leave in the morning to return to California after being here 5 weeks. The show is in great hands. Thanks Disneyland Paris! And Happy 20th Anniversary!
Great to see the star back, if it ever went away. And all the fireworks still there, so it looks like DLP will have fireworks all year for the first time. I didn't think Dreams would come up to the high standard set by WoC, and I know the shows are different, but overall I think I like Dreams better.

There's been a lot of discussion about the fireworks in Dreams and whether they'll be in the show every night, or not. Well I think the key thing is that Dreams contains pyrotechnic effects, but not necessarily fireworks. In the Q&A session that Steve Davison did with fansites on Saturday the 31st of March 2012, he addressed this issue:
Q: Are there special pyrotechnics developed for the show?
A: To be honest, no. What we did for this show is, we made them daily use. That, when you do your kind of special event shows, they have to cordon off so much of the park that you can't get that close to them. Eric Tucker, who does my pyro designs for all my shows, actually worked a lot to make this pyro daily use, so you can use it all the time. So it doesn't have a lot of fallout. So, it's very park friendly, actually.
Q: And also for sound concerns, maybe also?
A: Yeah we went through all that. There was a lot of, because they want to run this show quite frequently, that we had to reach a very certain sound design. Which we did. We're actually under it, so, we can run the show. And there were some things that came out because they were too loud, actually.

Quote from: "Alan"There was a lot of, because they want to run this show quite frequently
(my italics)
Isn't "quite frequently" rather an oddish way to say "Every night"?
Ah well, I suppose we'll find out soon enough if the full show is going to be done every night when people start sending in trip reports.
He also mentioned that you can watch the show without lasers, fireworks etc and just the animation.
I really hope DLP don't scale back that far in order to cut costs.
Yeah, "quite frequently" doesn't sound like EVERY NIGHT. But, perhaps he doesn't have the authority to say (with full confidence) that Disneyland Paris will be performing Dreams! every night of 2012.

Exactly. I think Disney Dreams! is supposed to run with all the effects at least during the 20th anniversary year.
What is the name of the song sung at the end of Dreams? It's beautiful.
I think the show will definately run until Sept the 30th every night. Because of the promise of extended park hours during this time. Why would you advertise longer opening hours if you were not planning to run the show. So we certainly will see Dreams! being performed until Oct. After that its not clear but with nights getting darker earlier the show could still continue daily even with shorter opperating hours. To be honest Dreams is the main draw for the 20th Anniversary the other stuff is just rethemed from before. While it refreshes the offerings its not going to bring in the expected crowds.
I know the show has only really had two official performances so far but where would you suggest is the best place to be to watch the show?

Does anyone know if it has run since the weekend? And if not, does anyone have any idea what sort of schedule there will really be for it?
Given that we're now in the UK Easter Holidays, it seems very odd for Disneyland Paris' big new nighttime spectacular to not be running every night of the week. There must be a lot of disappointed visitors.
wait, is it not every night now?

I understood from earlier reports that extended hours after Sept simply weren't necessary as it would already be dark enough for the show with current hours. I thought this implied the show was year round.
Where has this idea that its not year round and every night come from? Is there a source or are we assuming things here?
Dreams did run last night, and is planned to be running every night this week (according to the entertainment schedule). I'm not sure where that rumour is coming from but Dreams most definitely ran last night, I think people are just assuming the worst.
Yep Dreams did run last night, I know people in the park that watched it.
Also I'm fed up of hearing that after Sept Dreams won't on everynight, there is NOTHING that confirms this. In October by 7pm the park is dark and by 8pm pitch black so I don't know why everyone keeps assuming that after the 30th September thats it for Dreams. They don't need to extend the opening hours after September because it will be dark enough to show Dreams.
Ok I got that off my chest :evil: :lol:

Does the second star effect work now then, and does it fold up or something to fit in that space?
I do not see a video and Dreams to my next visit DLP and dont see official topic with so much spoilers and therefore I have a question.
How much different (less effects, pyrotechnics etc.) Dreams in comparison with the release on 31th? How much changes in the future?
Thank you!
Is there a pre-show or post-show for Disney dreams! like world of color has???

That's rather the 6,000,000 dollar question.....
Some think there will be no changes and daily shows. Some think that they may well cut down on both fireworks and possibly performances in non-peak times. But it's all pretty much guesswork. We'll just have to wait for official announcements or trip reports to get a better idea.
What a perfect night for dreaming!
Here's my own HD video of Disney Dreams!, filmed from the middle of Central Plaza...
[youtube:2ub1zd8z]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glNjMOXSL7k[/youtube:2ub1zd8z]
Quote from: "Daniel"Does the second star effect work now then, and does it fold up or something to fit in that space?
Yes, it works. A kind of rig moves out of the window, then the "arms" of the star fold outwards. It's very very clever and quite fun to see in action. I didn't clearly see how the window works, but it's one complete window that moves back into place once the star is folded up inside. On "opening night" on Sunday, they moved the star out a couple of times before the first show (unfortunately I missed it with my camera) and then left it in place until the show began, and between each show.
After the final performance, it moved back inside and the window moved back up into position. I think when they're confident that it's fully working, it should possibly only emerge once the show begins... but for such an important element that might be too much of a gamble.
Also I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere (don't know where I'll begin catching up on posts from the past few days), but the star looks quite different in reality to how it's picked up on videos. It's still very bright (it casts a shadow over Central Plaza!), but you see the shape and the individual lights and lasers more clearly. The whole is very different to see "live" because of the incredible clear projections and elements like water and fire - during the villains scene you really feel the heat of the flames from right back at the Casey's Corner end of Main Street!
Quote from: "disneymad1000"Is there a pre-show or post-show for Disney dreams! like world of color has???
In the video above you can see the post-show of the Cara Dillon song with the fountains rising up. There's no pre-show, just a 10 minute and 5 minute announcement. When there were two performances, the announcements for the first show also noted "the park will remain open after the show so you can enjoy attractions in Frontierland, Adventureland and Discoveryland".
Woah, there's already rumors about it not being every night? Okay seriously do not believe everything you hear and read. The only reasons for it not to run would be very genuine reasons. And this whole after sept 30th thing, that's complete rubbish, they're still going to run it. Sure there'll be a few technical glitches here and there but that's just the way things go. It'll still run every night this year at least so long as it can
Hey guys, I am taking my theatre group next april to perform at disney in the magic music days. Just wondering do u reckon dreams will still be on for the 21st year. I really hope so as this will be the first time i get to see it.
Many thanks
Ben xxxx The show looks amazing i well up everytime lol
Thank you for answer. I hope for no more reduction, but i mean for something will be cutting in future (between seasons) :(
We will wait for a later report...

Yes, but "We need to save money" and "The neighbours are complaining about the noise" ARE 'genuine' reasons!
I'm not hoping that the show will be reduced or that it won't be run every night, but am just curious that there doesn't seem to be a definite commitment/announcement. Also that no-one seems to have posted any reaction to the show since the weekend apart from a comment in the Trip Reports that it was cancelled at on Monday. So it makes me wonder a bit.

If they needed to save money then they shouldn't of put on a show like this, and also the fireworks are not loud enough for the neighbours to complain.
Steve Davison said in the Q&A that the show is actually under the allowed noise level. So really there is nothing for neighbours to complain about. People are just worrying too much.
I've worked in a theme park, trust me, needing to save money and complaining neighbours would not be classed as genuine reasons. I mean genuine as in the projectors aren't working and such. The show is under the maximum noise level, it isn't being ran at completely stupid oclock, and on the money side of things, They know they can run this, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to advertise that it's running nightly all year. They won't cut back on anything. Like 15MagicalYears said, people are worrying too much. This is the first time Disneyland Paris has had anything like this so naturally people are going to worry. But believe me, it'll be fine, and it will run nightly all year
As for the trip report that said it didn't run, I have a friend that was there Monday and said it did run. I'd rather trust my friend
The only way I can see Dreams being cancelled is if its raining really badly with thunderstorms and all.
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"The only way I can see Dreams being cancelled is if its raining really badly with thunderstorms and all.
Again, that would be a genuine reason. I've been to WDW when Fantasmic was cancelled twice. Once because one of the projectors, and some of the fireworks didn't work, and the other time was due to a severe thunderstorm.
People are worrying and starting the rumor mill up. it's natural I guess
Quote from: "Auroura86"As for the trip report that said it didn't run, I have a friend that was there Monday and said it did run. I'd rather trust my friend
There were also several people on Twitter on Monday night who tweeted pictures during the show. . .
what are we like?
the show was designed around neighbours, and the need for an evening show, in order to make more money!!
and here we are convincing ourselves it can't be as good as it seems!!
The three performances I saw at 10.30pm on the 31st and 9.30pm and 10.30pm on the 1st April were all identical.
This is the show. It's incredible. It's on every night. Just try to believe it! :mrgreen:
The only thing Steve Davison mentioned was that it would grow and evolve over time, with scenes swapped out for new ones - but not for at least a year. He wants it to stay the same for a year so everyone can see it, then they'll look at new scenes. Everything they've installed is permanent. And at any point, almost at the push of a button, they could go back to the original show, or the second or third version if they wanted to. (Katy Harris joked something like "In case we wake up the next day and think 'oh, why did we do that?!'")
How did it live up to your expectations Anthony? It far exceeded mine and I can't wait to see it live next month. I'm not sure I've ever seen something introduced to DLP that has had universal praise like Dreams. Just from the video footage alone it looks absolutely sensational. My 3 (almost 4) year old son was captivated for the whole video. The fact that he's bonkers about Peter Pan didn't hurt.
Quote from: "Anthony"The three performances I saw at 10.30pm on the 31st and 9.30pm and 10.30pm on the 1st April were all identical.
I don't suppose anyone thought any different for opening weekend.
QuoteThis is the show. It's incredible. It's on every night. Just try to believe it! :mrgreen:
I can believe it more or less for now until the end of the summer season. But low season after that? Still a bit doubtful.

Oh, completely exceeded them. I had somewhat low expectations of the fountains - expected them to be just a small element and was downplaying them in my mind, but they're used fantastically in the show. And not just throwing water up for the sake of it, really well synchronised to the action. "Kick your knees up" and they kick water up into the air, for example. I love Peter Pan too, and it helps that they seem to have mined by brain for my favourite Disney songs/films: Out There, Jungle Book, Friend Like Me, I See The Light. Even the Friends On The Other Side segment, using a less-known villain song, is made stunning and unique with the mechanical projections.
What I like most is that, every single night of the year at 10.30pm (or whenever), I can think back to the show and know that the Second Star to the Right is shining there above the castle, and another audience of 15,000+ people are going to be taken on this incredible journey...
And even though I should encourage people to watch my video, I really have to emphasise: it's even better, far better, in reality. Seeing the crisp glow of the star and the beautiful clear projections. It's such a gorgeous, precise piece of art (it IS art), that no camera will ever pick it up properly. You have to see it with your own eyes.
Quite possibly the greatest thing Disneyland Paris has done since 1992.
Is that enough hyperbole? I'll fit in even more when I write the DLRP Today review. :P Minor faults: the animation of Quasimodo and Shadow not being as fluid as it could be, the odd Rémy scene that goes nowhere. Surely that one is the first candidate for replacement. Or am I being greedy expecting each scene to be huge?
Quote from: "DutchBrit"I can believe it more or less for now until the end of the summer season. But low season after that? Still a bit doubtful.
But where's this doubt coming from? It seems completely unfounded. Yes it "looks" like an expensive show, if that's why you think it's going to be cut back, but don't forget we have no shows at Fantasy Festival Stage, no Legend of the Lion King, no Central Plaza daytime shows and probably no new attractions (unless we count Meet Mickey) until 2014. The pyrotechnics aren't that huge, and effects like the fire are probably no more expensive than running Catastrophe Canyon constantly through the day.
One major selling point of Dreams to a DLP executive was probably that it's going to really make it so much more worthwhile actually staying in a Disney hotel, right at the park gates. No-one is going to want to miss the main event of the day, but equally you're not going to want to take a train back into Paris or have a long drive home after the show.
It's going to really encourage full-day, overnight stays and probably bring in a lot more money through that. It evens out the whole annual calendar of the resort, which used to have ups and downs for high/low season, and will begin to fill up capacity in previously low season periods. This was particularly telling when Steve Davison explained who approached him for a nighttime spectacular here: marketing.
It could be that Disneyland Paris have already paid (or put aside) the money to perform Dreams! every night for the next 2 years. You know, instead of upgrading Pirates of the Caribbean or adding Star Tours 2, they used their money to get Dreams! designed, installed and performed daily. So what I mean is, it's probably not something they have to worry about for now, because they've already taken care of it.

So what I mean is, it's probably not something they have to worry about for now, because they've already taken care of it.
They would have budgeted for it for the next financial year. They'd have sat down, figured out how much it was going to cost them to run it for the year and worked out what they can afford. This year the cast majority of the cost will be in the infrastructure through installing the fountains and the projectors etc, running the show is going to cost a fraction of that.
They'll want to get their money's worth out of it and they're not going to do that with all of it switched off, if there is any cutting it'll be in future years. This year will be budgeted for.
Diverting away from panic and worrying: As much as I absolutely adore this show, and think the list of musical numbers and characters are perfect, I do miss the presence of The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Can you imagine those scenes? It'd be flawless to me. As Steve said though, scenes can be added and removed fairly easily - so who knows what new scenes we'll see over the next few years.
I believe The Lion King was first in Dreams, they even tested it on the castle , so that material should already be there.
With all the information overload in the last few weeks I remember reading about that, but not 100% sure of it.
And yes The Little Mermaid would be so nice!
I wanted the Little mermaid too, that would of been a epic scene.
Perhaps they omitted certain songs from Disney Dreams so that, if Mickey's PhilharMagic eventually comes to Paris, there won't be as much repetition? The songs used in Mickey's PhilharMagic are:
• Be Our Guest
• The Sorcerer's Apprentice
• Part Of Your World
• I Just Can't Wait To Be King
• You Can Fly
• A Whole New World
Quote from: "Alan"Perhaps they omitted certain songs from Disney Dreams so that, if Mickey's PhilharMagic eventually comes to Paris, there won't be as much repetition?
That's an odd way to think of it, but who knows. It'd also be pretty cool to see The Stampede in the Villains section. I'm thinking Scar throwing Shadow off the Castle balcony, where down below he's now being chased by wildebeests.
Also I'm looking forward to the possibility of Seasonal overlays. Halloween could change the name to "Disney Nightmares", showing Shadow travel through the different world of Disney Villains. Although that does sound slightly terrifying rather than a kiss goodnight :lol: .

Disney Nightmares LOL!
So where is the best place to stand once we're there in central plaza? Right in the middle?
Wow! Great name 15MagicalYears! Disney Nightmares would be a great title.
I think the best place is just before entering Central Plaza.

Yes, the show will be there for years to come -- maybe even decades!

I think it's awesome, though, that -- with Fantasmic -- they have a "rain" version of the show, where there's no actors but they still use the fountains and pyrotechnics in a style similar to World of Colour.

That's a really good point. It'll be interesting to see the long-term effects that Dreams has in the next five years.
Quote from: "Anthony"Is that enough hyperbole? I'll fit in even more when I write the DLRP Today review. :P
I think hyperbole takes a back seat to fact when spewing out superlatives to describe Dreams, and that's coming from someone who has just seen it on video, to hear it from you too, having seen it live, is the ringing endorsement we all needed.
It's great to know that such a spectacular show can change and evolve and I can understand them not putting all the headline films in at first. Lion King will be a great addition down the line when they decide it's time for a change. If they put all the big favourites in from the beginning the only way is down.
QuoteWhere has this idea that its not year round and every night come from? Is there a source or are we assuming things here?
I think its based on the assumption that its not been officially announced by Disneyland Paris that this is going to be a nightly show for the park. Only by unofficial sources. I think its fair and quite valid for people to assume the worst from a Disney Resort that very often scales back its entertainment offerings during the off season. And why entertainment like Fantaillusion is only performed in Summer and Christmas.
I can also accept why people are concern about the show being scaled back in the future. Cutbacks are something we see all the time at Disneyland Paris. Its usually only small details but these are still noticiable by the fans. Its a pratice that WDW uses often too. And where Disney CEO Philippe Gas did spend several years. He still hasn't convinced me yet he's the right man for the job. Especially after my last visit where the Disneyland park was only open until 6:00 pm in September. And wear and tear was evident everywhere. Is the Peter Pan queue still full of gaffiti?
Moving away from the negative's I am encourage to read Anthony's thoughts on the show. And I really am very excited to be checking it out next month. And visiting a park which I'm expecting to be looking wonderful and beautiful for its 20th Anniversary.
Ah but Josh when this Fantasmic I was at that got cancelled, got cancelled; it was due to the fact that the storm was in the immediate area and we had to get to safety. Believe me we sat there for 2 and a half hours waiting for the storm to pass but it just wasn't going anywhere lol. The Pretzel girl's pretzels went all soggy nd floppy, a guy that worked on tower of terror who brought his girlfriend out for the show got up and made a rap up on the spot to keep people entertained, then next thing you know its get inside quick. 2 seconds after we got inside it struck somewhere. I don't know where but the flash and the bang that accompanied it felt like something had just exploded. There were still people outside too because the screams that followed it were insane. I'd like to see their rain version though lol.
As for the Little Mermaid not being in the show, thanks for that, I was looking forward to seeing her in it (im not watching til I go there). I'd have been disappointed to not see her in it as she's on the brochure front cover. So i am genuinely thankful that you've said that here :) Is there much of Mickey in it?

Mickey isn't in it at all, there's a few references to him but he doesn't make an appearance.
He does appear in a bubble during the Beauty and the Beast segmat.

OH, that kind of storm. :P I can relate to that. It happened to us at Discovery Cove just after our session with the dolphins. It was "code red". Luckily, it wasn't as bad as your experience. It sounds like it was really scary! XD
According to next weeks program Disney Dreams! will be performed twice on the 7th, 8th and 9th April but only once on the 10th and 11th.

I suspect that is because of the 7th, 8th and 9th being Easter weekend, when the crowds will be at their highest, and the 10th and 11th are just ordinary weekdays, when crowds will have calmed down a little. Though I have to say whether performed twice or once in a day I cannot wait to see this show, it does look fantastic, and the fact that the creative team have gone for the lesser Disney films is a fantastic attribute. It is quite refreshing not to see the Lion King and the Little Mermaid in it, but giving way to Remy and other modern characters is brilliant.
Watching it on Monday, I half expected the Aristocats to feature, that was set in France after all...
There was a stuck catherine wheel above the castle entrance at one point, otherwise the show was faultless and it blew me away...
I already saw many times the show on YouTube. It's really astonishing!!!!!
I was a bit worried about the projections on the castle, but I was really blown away by the majestic of this masterpiece!!
Congratulations (and thanks) to Steve Davison and to the other people that worked on it!! Finally Disneyland Paris has something to envy at the other Disneyland parks in the world.
Anyone know what is happening with the rest of the theming? Are the water screens still just the bare metal?
And those smaller mist making nozzles in the moat, when exactly are they used and why? Are they used in the day ever?
Quote from: "byron-james"Anyone know what is happening with the rest of the theming? Are the water screens still just the bare metal?
Steve Davison said everything will be fully themed within the next couple of weeks. When programming the show they had to change the position of the water screens and so the original theming had to be scrapped and a new one is being made.
Quote from: "byron-james"And those smaller mist making nozzles in the moat, when exactly are they used and why? Are they used in the day ever?
I presume they create a haze effect, helping the lasers to be seen more clearly and to create a mysterious fog that lets light bounce off it. These things are probably more apparent in person rather than on video.
Hi
I have just got back from Disneyland Paris and can say that the Disney Dreams was astonishing, it is almost unreal. The first night I watched it (3rd April), it was pouring with rain but didn't spoil it, but stood to the right of the castle so didn't have a clear view of the water film parts, however the second viewing was a dry evening and I stood with a view to the centre of the castle. It is all magical and the fireworks just give it that extra edge. My son is Autistic and he loved every second of it and my daughter who is 3 and in love with the film tangled was stunned by the show. I grew up loving Disney but even I was taken back by the show and the whole crowds were going wild and clapping throughout!!! I hope this helps.
There really is a Eurovision element, or perhaps, for the Americans, a Bob Hope Christmas special element to Wendy and Peter's hosting of the show, haha.
"Peter, tu as retrouvé ton ombre!"
"That's right, Wendy! The magic's back. Now..."
Its a Great Game change but a shame their is no Merchandise to go with it!
Someone that watched Disney Dreams! other days beside the premiere, can please tell if during the Aladdin part of it, the Geenie sings in English or there is only the instrumental song?
I am so excited - we are there on Thursday, on the 12th! We told our sons this morning as the culmination of their Easter Egg Hunt - the egg contained the message 'We're going to Disneyland Paris' - they are 4 and 8 and they are SO excited!
Cant wait to see Dreams for myself - I have held off watching the videos, since we are going so soon!
Wow, I must break open my easter egg maybe there's a message inside for me, "you're going to Disneyland Paris on the 12th". I somehow doubt it though, I'm not 4 or 8. Have fun :D/
I've just uploaded a second video of the show (after the World Premiere (//http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glNjMOXSL7k)) - this is the very first public performance at 9.30pm last Sunday 1st April, filmed from pretty much the front row. Louder crowd, clearer view of the projections, and from here the fountains really tower overhead!
[youtube:21mv4ca9]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJrHW9hnpqM[/youtube:21mv4ca9]
It's great that the show feels different wherever you watch it, and there's such a huge viewing space available.

Well you are officially the best parents ever. Have a great time!
That has to be my favourite video of it so far! :thumbs: I'm not seeing it live until August....not sure I can wait that long :?
Anyway, I love hearing peoples reactions to it, thats what makes it even more special for me.
Fantastic video! It really picks up on the finer details of the projections. I can't wait to watch it from all different angles in June. Question - Are bubbles floating above Central Plaza / Main Street during the bubble scene in be our guest like rumoured a while back? I remember reading that they installed bubble machines for that scene and was just curious to whether it was true or not.
Quote from: "Simba 27"Someone that watched Disney Dreams! other days beside the premiere, can please tell if during the Aladdin part of it, the Geenie sings in English or there is only the instrumental song?
Hi, the Geenie does sing in English and that is a fantastic part of the show, the effects of the castle changing were mind blowing and fireworks came in at the most fitting times for the song. There is even fire during the song!
Thanks! I agree, the castle's effects during the Geenie's fragment are astonishing!
And Anthony, thanks for another video of the show. In that one I saw for the first time
[spoiler:376bxp2s]Maleficient and Peter and Wendy's take off.[/spoiler:376bxp2s]
I am the only one that didn't saw those in the previous videos?
WOW WOW WOW
Don`t know what else to say! And I bet seeing it live is even more fascinating! I`m relly looking forward seeing it on our next trip.
Aurora1
I filmed my children opening the egg with the message in, but cant work out how to upload it!
I am almost more excited about Dreams than about DLP itself - it just sounds incredible. I cant wait to report back! 2 sleeps!
What phone/camera/camcorder did you film the clip on?
Can't wait to see Disney Dreams! in person on May 19th!!
And i have to admit, after seeing World of Color and Disney Dreams on YouTube i like Dreams better! True, WoC has its stunning moments and great water compositions but it also had a lot of tedious moments, where i just thought "oh, keep it going" which Dreams doesn't have. The only scene i don't like, almost hate, is the step in time one, i just don't have any use for marry poppins... but despite that i love the show!
Quote from: "15MagicalYears"Question - Are bubbles floating above Central Plaza / Main Street during the bubble scene in be our guest like rumoured a while back? I remember reading that they installed bubble machines for that scene and was just curious to whether it was true or not.
I didn't see any such effects, no. Everything for now is concentrated on the castle and moat. Perhaps they're reserving things like that for years to come?

No, there are quite a lot of things I'm only seeing each time I re-watch the show. All the projections have been loaded with so much detail that it stands up to repeat viewings fantastically well. Perhaps more so than any other similar show I've seen.
Alan, I filmed it on a Samsung Galazy ace - uploaded straight to Facebook no problem, and could email it to myself, but no idea how to get it here? Probably should be on Trip planning!
I have now seen dreams 7 times in the last 4 days and it just keeps getting better... still noticing new things that I hadn't noticed before and there are a lot of elements that none of the videos I have seen capture well or at all... it is an amazing show and I love it!! Here is a picture I took two nights ago:
(//http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5462/6915187866_69b8bac9d5_z.jpg) (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterpanfan1953/6915187866/)
Wow peter, wich camera did you use for take that picture? Did you use the flash or there are enough lights from the effects during the show?
I used a Canon 5D Mark III and no, no flash... glad you like the picture!
amazing pic peter!!! how far back were u stood to get that??? thats just the sort of pic i would love to achieve when we go!!!
Brilliant photo their peterpanfan1953 - can I ask if you want to share the EXIF data? :)
Yes, I'd love to know the settings you used so I can attempt similar in a few weeks. Great shot!
ps If anyone is trying to photograph Dreams, turn your flash off, it will be completely ineffective at that distance and also mess up any automatic exposure settings you might be using. You'll get a much better photo without the flash in those conditions.
On a separate note, I have a question about the show
[spoiler:zhws10c7]I watched the Princess and the Frog for the first time last night and was expecting to see where the mechanical animation over the castle comes from, but no it had no link I could see. It's probably my favourite part of the show but where is it from?[/spoiler:zhws10c7]
Just love your picture, peterpanfan1953! It's really fantastic! :tink: :peter:
I just looked back for this video as I remembered that there was definitely footage of The Lion King featured in the show somewhere:
[youtube:19icf9b3]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJiLb4RjR40&feature=player_embedded[/youtube:19icf9b3]
So it makes me think that there may be one or two deleted scenes that have already been animated and could be re-programmed and slotted in to the show to freshen it up down the line, without going to the bother of getting new animation done? Ah, the possibilities are endless :D
@15MagicalYears
the scene you see in the clip is from World of Color. But they probably do have already finished scenes that didn't made into the final show. As steve ones mentioned there are scenes that were to loud to use them in the year-round show. May be those get included during the summer season next year.
I'm not talking about the WOC clip, I'm talking about the clip of Simba, Timon and Pumbaa walking over the log infront of the castle and then the "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" graphics projected on the castle.
oh, sry, havent seen it in the first place :lol:
I always watched the english version of it, and there wasn't the scene with Simba, Timon and Pumba, so they removed it pretty early in the production.
Glad everyone liked my picture so much :D
Sadly I'm not sure of the EXIF data for this picture as it got stripped out when I was editing it for some reason and I'm not positive of the original picture that corresponds to this one... I am still away in Paris so not using my normal computer and editing software : Once I am back I will be posting more pictures of Dreams (and I have some that are better than this one) which will include the EXIF data and I will be happy to share :)
This is the video I shot with my Canon 5D-mkII at the second show on April 1st, by using the 5D you really get the full color range of the show.
[youtube:1u6yd91e]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-xYKcJj0bw[/youtube:1u6yd91e]
And this I shot with the Canon Powershot G12 on the same night. I shot over 440 pictures with an exposure time of one second making this into a time-lapse video of the Disney Dreams show of just 46 seconds.
[youtube:1u6yd91e]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSA61zgJHU8[/youtube:1u6yd91e]
Maybe off topic, but does anybody know what the music loop is they use on the 20th Anniversary site?
Wow the time lapse video is awesome.
Did you take the photos and edit them together or did you film this?

It really has got me thinking about what I can do with my camera now and I think I tripod is what I need.
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"Wow the time lapse video is awesome.

It are really about 440 individual photo's. I edit them with a interval of 3 frames together to make it a bit longer at 25 frames per second. I connected a timer to my Canon G12 so it will take the pictures automatically.
Next time, I want to make a new time-lapse with a longer exposure. You will not see the projection anymore because of the fast movement, but it will make the lasers, fountains, fire and fireworks look bigger.
I realy love this show!!!! =D>
The best pictures are taken by setting your camera to manual.

Yes, I remember early art work included Simba and Aerial too - but new segments can be added so who knows how it will look in 2 years time!
Wow wow wow - we were there last night, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The projection effects are fabulous - so clever. Loved the water screens, and the whole package was astounding. What a clever man. My 8 year old was shouting 'awesome' and whooping and shrieking - he had never seen a Disney show, so you can only imagine!
It was so worth the wait!
Happy little family home from our Disney Dream x

Thanks - they are very good! :)
Now that I've finally seen it for myself, I can start checking this topic. XD It was almost perfect! My favourite scene has got to be the start of the show, when I saw the Second Star to the Right was beaming the lasers everywhere. It feels cliché saying this, but that was magical.
I decided to join this forum to post about this show. I have been a member of other Disney forums for several years.
I am so happy and excited that Paris got this show! It is so amazing, and such a beautiful show. Finally Paris has a spectacle they can be proud of! It is amazing to me to think that there are guests seeing something they never expected, I mean, the other Disney Parks are pretty used to shows like this; however, this is a first for Disneyland Paris! How fantastic!
Now, on to my one negative comment. I have watched every new video that has appeared on Youtube since this show opened... I have noticed from the first week to the second some small things missing and it is really bugging me. In the first week everything worked perfectly, no biggie. Now if you watch videos you'll notice some of the small pyro shot off the castle itself missing, flame throwers missing... I've notice the first firework tends to be when they start singing "Typically the bigger pyro at the back is there, it is the smaller effects. I know it is a technical show, so it is a bit more difficult... but come on Paris, this show has been open for less then 3 weeks! Keep it working top notch, each guest deserves the same experience!

Quote from: "Tigerlilly"I'm no nearer to working this one out, can anyone help? Thanks.
I think it's just purely original. No connection I can think of either, just imaginative visuals to match the music.
I am very hope for the SAME version of this show for May and rest of year! Is it possible?? [-o<

Works for me :) They should be congratulated for coming up with it, it works perfectly with the song and looks breath taking.
Thank you.

so still no theming for the water screen towers?
There is only a single Fountains Day show each day?
Quote from: "DopeyDad"so still no theming for the water screen towers?
Not yet. Since some equipment had to be moved, it's still being remade. I expect we'll have to wait at least a month.
Quote from: "Simba 27"There is only a single Fountains Day show each day?
No, they're on a few times. :)
Quote from: "Josh"Quote from: "Simba 27"There is only a single Fountains Day show each day?

Do you (or anyone) know what times the fountain shows happen?
Some different version (different or missing effects, fireworks...something)of Dreams in these days after "full busy days"?
Quote from: "Tigerlilly"Do you (or anyone) know what times the fountain shows happen?
I think it was on Twitter where I read they'd come on about every hour throughout the day. You're likely to come across a show by chance, if you're there.

Definitely not that frequently, I think there are only two.
They're on sometime between 6pm and 8pm, between the parade and Dreams. Perhaps 18.40 for one of them? One is a Sleeping Beauty medley, the other It's a Small World.
Every hour on the hour after the parade until Dreams would be nice, though.
As promised here are some more pictures from Dreams... I'm not home yet so these were edited on my laptop which is less than ideal for getting perfect pictures... I will have MANY more in a few weeks once I am home... but here are some for now and the EXIF data is available if you click through to flickr :)

Absolutly Fantastic Pictures
Beautiful photos!!!
What `s not perfect about those pictures? They are absolutly great, beautiful, amazing!! =D>
Aurora1
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before...
but the rumors are looking good that we might be getting dreams twice a night! (peak times)
They're in talks at the moment... (I'll keep everyone up to date)
;-)
Very great pictures peter!!
We'll see about those rumors... I hope for two shows of Dreams this Summer, but sure at 8pm is definitely not dark enough.
Stunning pictures, and not a lot of noise considering the iso setting.

Hmm, I see a trip to City Hall coming along in a few days. My partner has no idea they do the daytime fountain show, I quite like the idea surprising her by its appearance by 'coincidently' being near the castle when they happen.
Thanks for the info though
Aaaaawesome photos!!

Make sure to HD!
Here is my version of Dreams! Taken on a Tripod. I also have some photos but they arn't uploaded yet.
Enjoy. :D
wow those pictures are fantastic im so jealous!
This looks excellent. I can't wait to see it for real in 6 weeks. :cheshire_bounce:
The theming of the fountain has started:
https://twitter.com/#!/InsideDLParis/st ... 73/photo/1 (https://twitter.com/#!/InsideDLParis/status/192979045829455873/photo/1%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
It doesn't look bad, but I'm also not 100% convinced. I guess it looks better in real life.
I think they did quite well! Maybe the rocks at the bottom weren't needed, but they've matched the theme of the castle perfectly. I'm guessing it's meant to be a lantern, which was a good idea.
It's actually a lot more imaginative than I expected, not too jarring but I'd like to see a photo from an angle that includes the castle to see how it really works.
Kinda wish they where there since 1st April - sure it didn't really bother me when I went last week - but still.
But overall nice!
Also, does anyone know where I can get a HQ version of the finale song? The one with Cara Dillon.
I've only found versions were the song is cut off and the version I took has people talking in it. ¬.¬
Thanks! :)
Quote from: "dagobert"The theming of the fountain has started:

It doesn't look bad, but I'm also not 100% convinced. I guess it looks better in real life.
When we arrived at disneyland parc Thursday morning, we saw the first fountain themed, the next morning the second fountain has been themed. It was a great suprise as I didn't expect to see the theming on oure trip. I think it looks good. Only the rock work is a bit to much. But it defintley looks a lot better than without the theming.
You can see my pictures in this album. I don't know how to show them directly in this post.

Speaking of which, that ones very close-for-comfort to the fountains. You can see where they've cut holes in it to replace some of the sides to make more room.
So someone said there friend rang Disney and they told them Dreams finishes in September. I find that very unlikely.
Oh I hope, thats not true. I absolutly want to see that when we go in october!!!! [-o<

Ok so I just shot DLP admin a email to find the truth and great customer service, reply within 10 minutes...
Thank you for your e-mail below.
I confirm the Disney Dreams! show will be taking place in October, it will actually taking place everyday until the end of our 20th Anniversary Celebrations.
We wish you a very magical stay at Disneyland Paris!

So no need to worry those going after September. Dreams is officially here till next April.
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"So someone said there friend rang Disney and they told them Dreams finishes in September. I find that very unlikely.
Maybe they were just getting mixed up with Fantillusion. We know that that's definitely finishing in September.
I know this has probably been asked a hundred times, is fantilusion just July and August? Will that be running alongside Dreams?!
Fantilusion is just July and August, Dreams will be on all year as far as I know.

Who knows but they was going into full panic mode and they rang twice and was told the same thing by 2 different CM's.
Thank you for clearing that up, littlemermaid83!! I`m glad it`s on by octobre

Will it be back for the Christmas period or is it done for good? Was rather hoping to see it on a christmas trip.
It will be there nightly till the end of the 20th, look at how much advertising they've put into it for the 20th.

Is there a flickering window effect projected onto the Castle? it looks like there is a lit candle in the window above and to the left of the arch from the bridge?
Quote from: "Scissorsboi"Is there a flickering window effect projected onto the Castle? it looks like there is a lit candle in the window above and to the left of the arch from the bridge?
It's not projected, it's a lighting effect from inside the (fake) window.
Wow, that's an effect I've never noticed before! What a nice addition to the Castle!
That's been there since the park first opened. :)
I guess there's just never been a reason to stay that late and stare at the Castle before!
Is Dreams on too late? It's a question I've been asking myself as the park closes at 10.30pm next week, and according to the park guide, that's when Dreams will happen. That's fine for me, but I'm not sure my son Lucas, who will only just be 4, will be able to stay up that late after a busy day in the parks.
Considering their advertising seems to be very child targeted these days it surprises me that their big spectacular will be on so late. I understand it has to be as dark as possible to get the best effect, but the sun sets well before 10.30pm at the moment.
It could well be that my wife and I never get to see Dreams together as one of us may well have to be back at the hotel room with Lucas. I think the first day is our best shot at him being awake as it will actually be 9.30 according to our body clocks. We could of course be surprised and Lucas stays awake till that late, but I'd be surprised.
Where is the BEST place to watch the show, please?
Quote from: "PirateSteve"I understand it has to be as dark as possible to get the best effect, but the sun sets well before 10.30pm at the moment.
The sun set might be way earlier but its still light. Dark dark is at 10:30. I am sure Disney would love to show this earlier but they cant control the sun right.
Also if they had an option to show it early a lot more people would want to see this and there is no way they would fit in the viewing area. It is also a way to control the crowds.
Quote from: "PirateSteve"but I'm not sure my son Lucas, who will only just be 4, will be able to stay up that late after a busy day in the parks.
If you really want to see the show maybe sleep late and relax during the day and go to the park only after the lunch and then you might be fresh till late night. Thats how people do it at other Disney parks in the world to see the night shows.
Yes you miss out a lot during the day but thats why Disney made this show - so you stay another day:)
Quote from: "PirateSteve"Is Dreams on too late?
It's hard to say. When I was his age, I couldn't keep awake for the fireworks. But I might be thinking of the New Year fireworks at midnight. It was a long time ago; I can't remember it that well. XD
Just go to the park later than usual, on that day; and snack up, as well! :D
Easier said than done. Lucas isn't the sit around and do nothing kind of child, thankfully. In DLP he'll want to be in the parks the moment he wakes, and who could blame him. We'll just have to try to have rest periods during the day to watch shows and maybe go back for a nap in the late afternoon. We are there for 4 nights so we'll see what happens. If we don't see it together then so be it.He'll probably end up staying up late enough to see it every night after all my worrying!

It is rather late (it'll be even later in Summer when it stretches to 11/11.15pm), but there's probably not much they could do about it given the longer days Paris gets.
As a comparison of parks around the world, Wishes is on at 10pm tonight, IllumiNations at 9pm and World of Color at 8.30pm. At weekends, the Magical fireworks are on in California at 9.30pm, with the park closing at midnight! Sunset in Paris will be 21:06, Orlando at 20:01 and Anaheim at 19:35! So it looks like it's pretty standard for a Disney nighttime spectacular to happen an hour after sunset.
I'd suggest the problem is that they've been advertising the resort too "young" for the past few years, as you say. Rather than focusing on an entire spectrum of visitors, they've solely tried to sell the place to families with very young children. Now that the resort is growing up, staying up late and acting like a real Disney park, it has become slightly at odds with the image they've been selling. They've been selling a primetime event as an afternoon kids show. It's the marketing that needs to change and expand its focus.
Though funnily enough, it
was apparently marketing who wanted the show in the first place. I still think they're hoping it'll pay off in increased hotel occupancy, because the show will be on so late (and is so unmissable) that people won't want to be trawling back into Paris or to a partner hotel.
did anyone have had the chance to watch the show lately? I heard that they are already cutting back on the effects, for example the fire effect at the turret to the left close to the ending of the "friends from the other side"-scene. can anyone confirm this?
Hope not, though :?

Try to find a fence to stand in front of. That way, there won't be anyone standing in front of you. But if you're really tall, it won't matter.
Am I right in thinking there are two showings of dreams at the weekends 10pm and again at 11pm?

As said by Steve Davison in an interview, they can choose during the show that certain effects aren't used because of heavy winds/rain/other weather. ALL the effects are budgeted in for a year now, so don't worry, if the weather is nice and there are no technical difficulties, all the effects WILL be there :)
The best place for me is on mainstreet just before central plaza between the 2 big speaker poles. This makes the music stand out and you have a great overall experience. It has been said that right at the front is nice too, as the fountains are really impressive there. I guess it depends for everyone ;)
Out of the three places I stood during my last visit; the middle of central plaza, end of Main Street (for all of half hour waiting and half a minute of watching the show)/near castle stage (moved due to some stupid annoying parents putting kids on their shoulders) and right up close to the castle (literally at the pegged off line), my favourite place would have to be the middle of Central Plaza.
You're surrounded by the music from all sides, you're close enough to the castle to see everything but not so close that you have to move your head around to see everything and the fact that the road in front of you is angled downwards so that no heads get in the way!! :)
Also, regarding the flame effect, one entire side of the flame throwers weren't on for one of our viewings, but this must've been a technical problem because the next night everything was working perfectly :D

ok, cool and good to know :) thank you.
i hope May 19th will be a calm day then :D/

Are these the fountains Disney uses in Dreams as some look simmular?

Bye the looks of it they do use the curve fountains that's in Dreams.

Very happy with Dreams having seen that...rather uninspiring.
So it is possible to stay in the middle of Central Plaza? I remember that once when I saw Wishes, there was a path in the middle that it was roped, and we can't go nearer the Castle.
How much early did you went there?
Actually, when I watched it on the 11th of April, the cast members had roped off a small part of Central Plaza. I don't know why, and I think they took away the ropes by the time the show started.

Isn't this for those taking the Dreams! Dinner package?
No. We used the reserved area the next day. That's on the left side on Main Street, next to the Dreams control booth. ;)
The area cordoned off in the Central Plaza was for Wheelchair users this last Monday and Tuesday when they had two showings of Dreams and it gave a great. great view which I preferred to being close up and was much much better than the Dinner/Dreams position which was nothing special and really not worth the expense. Oddly the wheelchair area was gone on Wednesday and Thurs.

This last Wednesday it rained an awful lot, which probably explains why the Star didn't make an appearance (it was back on Thursday) but the wind was blowing from the west and I do think they should have scaled back the fireworks that day. The smoke created by them covered the front of the castle and seriously affected the projections. The Remy sequence was almost invisible and many of the others were lost to the smoke or seriously faded. A time where less would have been more.
Every other time I saw it, it was STUNNING!
was the roped off area just for wheelchairs, or any visitor that gets the easy access pass (or whatever its called now??)
trying to figure where we can stand when we arrive only 5/10 mins before the show?? boys have autism and cannot wait much longer than that, and espec if its very 'closed in' with ppl.... a roped off area wud be much easier for them....
This may have already been asked but does anyone know if the night time spectular show will still be on during the Christmas period. We're visiting there November 18th to Thursday 22nd and hoping it would still be on.
Thanks.
Quoting the E-mail I sent to DLP, Dreams is on EVERY NIGHT during the 20th Anniversary.

Dreams is ment to be on all year for the 20th I thought. Thanks littlemermaid83.
So the more important question will be what will happen to Dreams once the 20th Anniversary ends next year. Will it continue to stay nightly. Will it be moved to Weekends only. Or could it share a similar schedule to Fantillusion, Summer and Christmas only.
I reckon after the 20th Dreams will weekends during quiet periods and every night during high seasons. I think we will see our first seasonal overlays next year for Halloween and Christmas. :D/

I'm not sure how helpful it is to speculate about such things yet. It's better to discuss how Dreams is running
this year - the public reaction, the operational aspects - rather than make guesses about next year which will only confuse people.
Because for my own reckoning, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney themselves don't know what will happen with the show in future. They'll be looking very closely at hotel bookings and attendance throughout this year. It's a big test to see whether the resort can sustain longer opening hours and a nightly nighttime spectacular. Whether it brings in enough benefits through increased merchandise sales (people spending while waiting for Dreams), increased food and beverage sales (people staying later and eating in the park), increased hotel occupancy (people staying closer to the park, and on previously quiet weekdays), etc and so on.
We really won't be able to guess a thing until we see some results from this summer. But even if they were negative, surely the first move would be to cut back on the double performances first, before cutting the show completely on certain dates. Do that and they've completely scuppered the whole selling point of this plan; that you can now visit on any date and be sure you're getting the "full" Disney experience, not an inferior, off-season, 10am-6pm day. The results of the show's impact would have to be incredibly negative for them to do that, surely.
When Disneyland Park closes at 10:30pm, as it does from now up until the 24th of May 2012, will Dreams really only be on once per night, STARTING at 10:30pm? Or will it start at 10:10pm, so that it finishes exactly as the park closes?
10:30pm just seems really late to be starting a show, when sunset happens at around 9:21pm.
Sunset is at that time at the moment and is getting later and later each day till the solstice, but remember sunset doesn't equal dark. The park was due to shut at 10pm on Thursday, but it wasn't really dark enough for Dreams, so Dreams actually didn't start until 10.15.
Has someone already been to Disneyland Park when it was raining that evening? What happened to Dreams then?
Quote from: "Whoknew?"Has someone already been to Disneyland Park when it was raining that evening? What happened to Dreams then?
We were there when it was raining during Dreams and it went off as normal... didn't notice anything missing either... full fire, full fireworks, etc... it actually made the lasers more impressive as they lit up all the rain/mist in the air. It wasn't raining super heavily but it was a steady rain and we were wondering if anything would get cut but it didn't :)

Thank you a lot for the response!! :D
I was worried, especially because three friends of mine are coming with me next saturday who have never been to a disney theme park before and i hope they get the full expoerence :) now, im not sure whether it should rain or not, but care less now :thumbs:
Another video and another view of Disney Dreams!, just for completeness: the 10.30pm (second) showing on 1st April, this time filmed from further back, giving you an idea of how the show looks from roughly halfway between Casey's Corner and the end of Main Street, near the information board.
[youtube:10xzehnu]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u1XXB5rHLE[/youtube:10xzehnu]
It's a pretty good place to watch it, if you don't want to be jostling for position up at Central Plaza.
oooooo anthony - that is a good position..... might b one for us seein as ds2 cant understand waiting - plus, we r that bit closer to the exit for when the 'rush' starts ;)
was wondering how it wud look further back - as long as this wasnt taken by a 7' bloke i shud b able to see - being a short arse :lol:
always nice to see different viewings of this, u get to see diff bits depending where u r!!
Quote from: "scampbunny"was wondering how it wud look further back - as long as this wasnt taken by a 7' bloke i shud b able to see - being a short arse :lol:
6ft, with quite long arms :oops:
It is quite a good view from there though, because of the distance and the way the castle is slightly raised. I made the mistake of standing in the middle-to-back of Central Plaza on a night when I wasn't filming. Lucky, because I barely saw a thing. The hub being slightly raised means the people around you block everything out, especially if they've got children on their shoulders. So whatever you do, don't join the
back of the Central Plaza crowd.
The best place to watch I think is the pavement at the front of Central Plaza, where you're both close enough that the show is practically up above you, and also raised up above everyone else thanks to the curb. People also tend not to put children on their shoulders there, since you're so close. A slower exit from the park, but worth it.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has watched from even further back along Main Street, Town Square even. I can imagine it'd be fun to see from there as something different, but you wouldn't feel anywhere near as wowed.
ok so not quite 7' ;) lol
yes, had heard that central plaza has a 'lump' in the middle so will bare that bit in mind..... altho, it will depend how long ds2 can stay in one place, and how crowded it gets, otherwise he cud freak out......
have got to keep them awake yet - but have 3 nights to see it (cant see 1st night happening) so down to 2 and i want to do photos too.......... i need a longer holiday hahahaha
we might end up further back if things dont work out - so will sure to video part/take pics to show.....
I found this on youtube of dreams with different pyro affect.
[youtube:3aeto1f8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTPRQOdIQws[/youtube:3aeto1f8]
2:45 onwards? Defo looks like fireworks instead of fire, and more colourful fireworks.
Here's another video showing the new pryo. Starting at around 4:15-
[youtube:2rfdmao0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEcpXrqq3VM[/youtube:2rfdmao0]
It's not a huge change, but I did prefer the original pyro.
Prefer the original really :o
Well both our videos are from about the same time. Maybe a last minute problem with the pyro. :)
I saw a video of the show for the first time last night- I started crying so badly! I couldnt help it- the music, the videos, etc it just hit a very emotional place! The "Disney classics" video at "Art of Disney Animation" has a similar effect.
I am completely in awe of the show!! Never seen anything like it :D!!
Although those pyro changes don't ruin the overall awesomeness of the show, I do hope it was temporary due to some problems. The originals had all the power and bit of extra that makes this show what it is :P
I want to say something controversial. I think Dreams looks better in Anthony's video than it actually does in person. When I saw it last weekend (11th, 12th, 13th), the sky wasn't as black and the projections didn't seem as bright and colourful as in the video.
I am afraid that will only get worse as sunset gets later and later until Summer solstice. ;)
I think the video looking better than the reality is a combination of two things:
1. Video cameras have a narrower dynamic than the human eye, which means that video often looks higher contrast (more colourful) than reality.
2. If the sky isn't completely pitch black (which it wasn't when I saw it) then the castle can never fully disappear and the projections don't look as vivid because the castle is always illuminated by the sky.
There's also the possibility that Anthony adjusted the Levels and increased the Saturation of his footage in post-production.
This is why you should see it in real life, first. :P But in my opinion, no video can truly show what it's like to see the beams of light from the second star to the right as they shine. There's so many immersive aspects to the show that you need to see in person.
Quote from: "Alan"There's also the possibility that Anthony adjusted the Levels and increased the Saturation of his footage in post-production.
I'm far too lazy and poor with my editing to do such things! All I ever do is add the titles.
Perhaps the resolution also has something to do with it. Your naked eye will pick out every detail of the castle far more clearly than a handheld 1080p video camera, making it
seem like the projections aren't transforming it quite so totally, when really you're just seeing it all much clearer. Also the camera probably adjusts levels to the bright projections itself - it'll be trying to focus on the bright images, not the castle. Whereas with your own eyes, you have to trick yourself to look at the projections, not the outline of the castle. It's a bit like those magic eye puzzles.
Could it be possible that some of the projectors for Disney Dreams! are no longer working, or that they reduced their brightness after the press event? I remember Steve Davison saying how they projected the same image twice, using two different projectors, to get double brightness. Maybe one of the pairs was down?
I'm just trying to figure out why, when I saw Dreams, it didn't look as vibrant and as bright as the videos from the press event. Hopefully it was just due to the lighter sky.
When we watched it twice 2 weeks ago we found the second viewing a lot better, and for that one we were further back. On the first time we saw it, from Central Plaza area, we were almost too close to the Castle to suspend belief enough to imagine the transformations, but further back and the Castle transformations did seem more real to the naked eye.

I notice that with most shows. People assume they have to be really close to feel the full effect. I always find it best when watching these type of shows try to get as central position as possible, that way you get the full effect without having turn your head. :thumbs:
Well, someone on here said that the middle of Central Plaza was the best place to watch Dreams from. But I think you're right Steve; that's too close. I think further back nearer the Information Board creates a better illusion, because you're less aware of the physical architecture of the castle, and more aware of the projections.
I actually made a little map showing all the positions we stood in when we watched Dreams. Position 3 (Sunday, 13 May) was by far the best:
(//http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2239943/magicforum/dreamsviewinglocations.png)
We were standing exactly in position 2, the first time we saw it. When we saw it the second time, it was near position 3 in the reserved viewing area. We got our best view from there, but it would have been even better if we were in the middle of the street.
I just had a thought. Suppose it was 10:15pm and Disney suddenly discovered a technical problem meaning they'd have to cancel the 10:30pm performance of Dreams. What would they do? How would they break it to the crowd, and how would they deal with the crowd's reaction?

I don't think its possible to turn off a projector. The show can't work without all projectors working. :thumbs:
Is that a fact? They won't run the show unless ALL projectors are operational?

I don't think it is so much new pyro, as it is probably they ordered the wrong pyro from manufacturer, or were sent the wrong pyro. Hopefully the only pyro will return.

He said they tried to project front and back onto the water screens using two projectors, to give extra brightness, but it didn't work so they gave up on that idea.
Nothing has changed regarding the projectors, it'll just be that it looks different to your own eyes.
If one projector stopped working... well I suppose it'd depend
which projector, whether they cancelled the show or not. One on the periphery, they'd probably just go ahead. One in the middle of the castle, they might have to cancel. But has that ever happened in these shows? And I'm sure they'd have the expertise and spares to fix it.
That's odd, I distinctly remember someone saying that they front projected on to the castle in pairs, so that they could get double the brightness. So, every segment of the castle is projected by, not one projector, but two.
I know Steve said a similar thing when he was talking about back AND front projecting on to the water screens. But that's not what I was thinking of.
Am I going mad? :-)
For me... "Dreams" is nice. But little... boring... Parts with Peter Pan ( and Marry Poppins) makes me boring and they should use more fountains and fireworks. Enchanted fireworks was better (for me)
Some efects with lasers are very nice...
I saw dreams 2 times on my recent trip. First was last Monday, which was a lucky hit since it was raining the whole day. But this resulted on Central Plaza being pretty empty, so we could see the show very well. The second time was on my birthday (wednsday) where we had booked the dreams dinner with the VIp acces, which was also a good idea, since the parc was very crowded that evening due to the sunny and warm weather. The VIP area has a decent view on the castle and it was nice seeing dreams again without being soaked by rain at the same time

One negative about pyro is that the wind doesn't always blow the smoke where you want it to go. I must admit the effect the smoke has on the lasers is incredible. :thumbs:
Does anyone have any tips for standing further back? Of course if I were wanting to stand nearer central plaza I should arrive as early as possible, but what about standing further back? Do people start to wait there early? If so how early should I arrive and what exact spot would you recommend for standing further back?
I wouldn't recommend standing further back than... let's say "Gibson Girl" (I don't know exactly).
I saw it twice this weekend, once on the street near the entrance to Adventureland, which was great.
The second time further down main street. This time, I couldn't hear the music that good because the were no loudspeakers around you playing the music.They all were nearer to the castle. Also, some shops and lamps are still lit further down mainstreet troughout Dreams. :-(
Have you seen it yet?
In my opinion, it will be the most magical if you see it from the front, not on central plaza, but a bit further back. :D
Couldn't afford to go this year but we are saving for next May, hope this is still on!

What is different?
i couldn't see Peter Pan drop the curtain at the end, it was like the projection stopped, but it could just be the video or me.
Quite an interesting video -

That poor woman on the bench :')
Wow the mist is very effective in that vid more than I thought
looks like it may be a little too much at the moment. However, it does make the castle look very "castle in the clouds", which is quite a nice look for it.
Yesterday, someone on Youtube named chbw92 had posted a video about Disney Dreams! It's 25 minutes long showing Dreams! On the other hand, another firework element has replaces the Twinkle, twinkle little star fireworks and the second star to the right finale fireworks. Instead of the waterfall firework(the strand golden fireworks), the firework is now an shell. Take a look.

TBH I don't notice anything different. :?
Compare the Dreams! April and May 29th 2012.
you'll see what i'm talking about.
Yes they have got rid of the willow bursts and replaced them with golden bursts which don't hang around for as long
I didn't notice Peter Pan lifting the curtain on the 4th June. I was looking forward to that bit. I wont say I was disapointed that I didn't get to see it though because the show as a whole was just wonderful. I wished I could have seen it every night we were there but the kids were just exhausted.
I'm not sure if it was technical difficulties but, they also changed another pyro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SThTqflzjLg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SThTqflzjLg%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
After the genie says "and make the suckers disappear!", you will see an enchanted fireworks pyro. But it's still good.
Two wheels have gone missing to on be our guest, and the replacement on genie isn't as good don't think there is as much impact with them
Quote from: "Alan"Well, someone on here said that the middle of Central Plaza was the best place to watch Dreams from. But I think you're right Steve; that's too close. I think further back nearer the Information Board creates a better illusion, because you're less aware of the physical architecture of the castle, and more aware of the projections.
I actually made a little map showing all the positions we stood in when we watched Dreams. Position 3 (Sunday, 13 May) was by far the best:

Sorry for the stupid question, but the view on number 3 it isn't a bit blocked by the trees?
The trees have gone now, replaced by the dreams control booth and flower beds.

OK, I have a question for all of you out there about Disney Dreams! Does anyone know the name of the company that did the video mapping on Sleeping Beauty Castle? Obviously you're going to say Walt Disney Imagineering, but are they really the ones that laser scanned the castle and configured all the video projector equipment?
I feel sorry that people are not seeing the show as advertised. :-"

They possibly did, they were quite up for sharing pictures in the making of videos which to me suggested they probably done it. It's not entirely a hard process, just a very very very meticulous process - at work we played with the projector and tried something similar using masks in the video software.
Regarding the catherine wheels, if there is any chance that they'll explode incorrectly, then I'm happy for them to be removed from the show (tbh, I always thought they looked tacky anyway, same as the ones on waving sticks in Fantasmic, they look more 'community fireworks night' than 'big theme park show'). Particularly after I seem to recall a Castle based pyro in the early years set a tower alight when it went off incorrectly?
As for fireworks changing/the show not being wat is advertised that's ridiculous, if I was to visit the park now then I wouldn't go "hmm that firework was slightly different to the video I saw online", I'd just enjoy the show. From what I've seen the changes in no way alter the show's storyline, or visual impact, it just happens to be a different type of pyro used.
If they removed them altogether then yes, that would be a problem, but they've still got fireworks and the show still runs as it is supposed to, and I have no problem with that.
WOW - this "smoky version" is so magically! I was there this night on the video, and lasers parts and explosions was so amazing - another dimension... :thumbs:

Oh hell those lasers do add something at the end!
I have seen Dreams twice in the opening week and do not agree to the best point of view discussion. If you are not tall enough you have no chance to see the projections at the castle entrance and for me these are fantastic. So I prefer to be at the front row. But it's right that the laser effects and the music is not as good as standing more in the back. So perhaps, see it twice from different ancles.
As I saw it, the people climbed over on the flowerbeds on central plaza and there were no CMs who did sth against it. So the people who stood behind the flowerbeds had noch chance to see, because there is a little hill in the flowerbeds. It it still like this or are there CMs?
greetings, cahaya, who will be back on august
This video of "Dreams" is great - wide view,very clear and transparent...
[spoiler:8jwry6c3][youtube:8jwry6c3]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SThTqflzjLg[/youtube:8jwry6c3]
(but missing great "Qauasimodo" scene)[/spoiler:8jwry6c3]
Dreams blew us all away, it was a very emotional storyline that took us all through childhood to now parenthood. We all enjoyed it immensely, and any changes that had been made to the show we did not notice, it had very little impact on our enjoyment. It was fantastic, and cleverly done. We did see men scaling the castle wall before the start of the show, and i'm sure any changes made, would be for their safety, and for our continued enjoyment of the show. If something didn't work properly , i'm sure that is the reason it would have been scrapped.
Dreams is absolutely insane. No video can do it justice, you really need to see it in person to appreciate it. Unlike most people on here, I actually found that the show is better up-close. I just loved the way the show towered above you when your closer.
We watched the show 3 times, starting at the end of Main Street and getting closer each time till we were at the safety rope and each night it got better.
I reeeally want to see it!! I've watched the video but I bet it is 100 times better in real life! Going in September and can't wait! We're going for three nights so if the view where we stand the 1st night isn't very good we can move to a different view spot and hope its better

I haven't seen 'Dreams' yet, that pleasure will come next month, but strangely as you have stated I have been wondering that if you are too far away from the show then you might miss the majesty of it all. I have taken on board the comments of others who have seen the show, but I can't help wondering if close up would be best.
I guess I'll see next month :thumbs:
Like others said, you really do see more and get a fuller picture standing back but I just loved the sensation of being fully immersed in the show as the lasers danced above your head and the fountains soared above you. Much more impressive.
Here the video I got of DREAMS the first time I saw it! I also had added captions and lyrics. I was realllly bored one night.

Does anybody know if there is anything special on July 14th this year?
Normally there are special fireworks on this day. But now we have Disney Dreams.
Will this be a double show or a special version of Dreams :lol: ?
Thanks

You can't even see the main beam coming out of the second star to the right. :(
If that was only filmed a couple of days ago, the longest day was on the 20th June, so sunset was at the same time that Dreams started. I guess it was just bad luck. It'll probably be dark enough again by July.
Strangely I actually really like it in that light, although you can still make out the Castle more clearly, the colours seem to pop more and look a little more like a cell-shaded cartoon.
It's just pretty!
i like it - gives it a new dimension and a lovely sillhouette of the castle!! i think it shows it can work both in dark and when theres still a lil light in the sky....
It looks very nice and magically with little day light on the sky. Both version ( dark and this) have your own atmosphere. 3D projections looks better with this silouethe of the castle! =D>
I like it and think the images are much sharper. :D
Oh wow I really like it with the sunsetting in the back. I agree the colours pop more and are a lot more sharper.
I'm sorry, but what's that movie with wheels, pistons and big eyes?
I love the show in that light too! Very impressed with it, I hope its still running next year so I can see it in the flesh!
Quote from: "ulak"I'm sorry, but what's that movie with wheels, pistons and big eyes?
It's not based on any film. I guess they just used it because it looks cool. :mrgreen:
Looks brilliant with the sun setting, does it looks that good in real life though?...Cameras can be deceiving.
I think you find the sun has already set! That's why I said you can't really have it any earlier because of the glare of the setting sun. :)
For those of you who watched Tots TV as kids, does the voice of Wendy in this show not remind you of Tilly? I have expect her to whip out her magic bag and that odd squirrely thing!
I dont know- how it looks, when second star not working, please? :-s
Second star was working fine on Sunday, I guess it was a one off when it didn't work! It was coming out 30 minutes before the show! We also whitnessed an engineers hand rise up as the window was lowering so they must be able to get up the castle and assist the star into place :?
I found this video that was awesome and there was a little bit of mapping:

Got a bit distracted while I was meaning to work on a new homepage for DLRP Magic...
(//https://p.twimg.com/AwVlQWmCMAA5LDw.jpg:large)
Just a very very sketchy example of what a Dreams ad using a real official photo of the show could look like.
The consistent lack of "bigging up" for Dreams is bizarre. Besides real advertisement spots you'd think they'd be tweeting every day about it, whipping up excitement on Facebook, posting behind-the-scenes videos to YouTube.
In fact, the official YouTube account has just two videos which relate to Dreams: one a fluff piece with non-celebrities from the UK, the other a promo for the Business Solutions department! Hey, come see our new nighttime show: you can customise it to your business?!
That's a great poster, really wish DLP used real photos more rather than their usual CGI rubbish. I'm also totally confused with the lack of advertising for the show - especially when it was marketing that asked for the show in the first place?
This is the poster they use around the resort -
(//http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5343/6950209514_bee33ea8af.jpg)
Which to me is totally baffling, especially when there's decent graphics of the show like -
(//http://disneydose.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hd119711.jpg)
I wonder if they don't use that one because Simba is on it and doesn't feature in the final cut of the show? I'm amazed that after seeing how publicised World of Color STILL is, that they don't take heed from the DLR style of advertising!
Youtube videos, website logos, mail outs, e-shots.. they're just doing it all bizarrely!
In their defence though, I wonder how soon before the show is finalised in terms of what it contains and how it is visualised on the castle and so on are the posters etc. made? I do agree that Dreams and the entire 20th anniversary celebrations need more promotion though; I imagine that first time visitors to the park wouldn't necessarily be made very aware of its birthday, especially in the run up to it. I visited in Feb and there were only a few posters mainly near the castle which advertised the anniversary, I saw no mention of Dreams whatsoever. The show DOES look incredible though, I am extremely jealous of everyone who has seen it so far! ;)

Actually, there was a Lion King sequence in the show while they were testing in 2011.
Look for it really closely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byn3dfvS10Q (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byn3dfvS10Q%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
Nice- i want Lion King back for Dreams! :)
As much as I love the fact they didn't go for the obvious choices, I can't wait till The Lion King and The Little Mermaid are put in Dreams. They are both spectacular and ridiculously popular films and I can just imagine all the possibilities to transform the castle.
Well actually, The posters of Dreams were drawn and released before the Lion King, Nemo and the Little Mermaid were deleted and cut from the show. They also made some changes to some scenes, such as: the pink cake scene turned into all kinds of color you can think and the chase scene of the shadow and the pouring of the sparkles from the stars were turned in to well, see for yourself. The jungle book scene replaced the Lion King scene, you would already know because the waterfall scene of the Lion King was changed to the waterfall scene with the jungle book. They've also changed fireworks through out the testings of the show. Disney WorldGlobe showed some videos of Dreams! testing, in the I see the light part, there were some fireworks that exploded in the sky. And I think that the Beyond Epic score was deleted probably.
More theming has arrived!

Yeah I know, which is why I suggested that Simba was on the photos as he was planned but didn't make the final cut. Almost as if it was a last minute change! It's a shame, I do think Lion King/Little Mermaid suit the show well, but I have no doubt they'll be added in as special scenes at some point!
As for the new theming, it's nice to see them make an attempt to cover those pipes and cabling!
Maybe they were only being tested so that they can be added next year.
Quote from: "Josh"Maybe they were only being tested so that they can be added next year.
Unfortunately, they made some changes to some animations, even the Lion King sequence. The Lion King was originally the idea, but, they've made some changes to it and made the Jungle Book sequence. But however, they didn't change the waterfall. Here are some more animations that are the same but changed:
[youtube:20x0zo75]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAzT726mdLY[/youtube:20x0zo75]

Were they deleted?"
He replied "These were just tests. Some of it ended up in the show, some of it didn't"
QuoteThe consistent lack of "bigging up" for Dreams is bizarre. Besides real advertisement spots you'd think they'd be tweeting every day about it, whipping up excitement on Facebook, posting behind-the-scenes videos to YouTube.
you're right -but then they never big up anything
all you ever see on their advertising is a picture of the a castle and the words 30% off or something...
...they never mention anything new which begs the question why would people go back?
alton towers by comparison tell you if one new ride is there.
This year we had an updated parade with a new song, meet mickey mouse, disney dreams, world of disney is opening... might as well chuck in the princes pavilion as being new. Thats FIVE reasons to go back and nobody knows.
:D
Here is a good angle of Dreams.

The fountains during the day look great. Is it just me or is the music a new addition to that area too? Could just be my memory! All looks and sounds great together though! Not too sure why they need a CM near them though?
If you look closely on Step In Time final score, You can see part of the Be our guest song, You can clearly see the pink sparkle rising to the tower just like the pink sparkle rising up the tower and down again to reveal the Eiffel Tower dishes.

It's A Small World has been used for some time now. I really hope in the summer they make the fountains go higher and allow guests to walk near them again since that would be a great way to cool off during the summer.

They could be adding more theming in the moat. Unless there's a problem with the feed to the fountains.
I appreciate that the fountains are one of the key selling points for the show, but even without them on that photo looks stunning! It still looks much better than anything we've had before!

Wow. Any reports if it is fixed yet?
I just read this story:

Could it be that there will be a special Halloween version of Disney Dreams?
Or are they talking about the current scenes that are already in the show?
Hi, I have a question that's already taken place many times. I still do not know her exact answer ...
Which is the best place to track "Dreams" and Fantilusion "without changing seats?
How to avoid growing children and fathers back to crawling after the flower beds? Any tip on this place?
I saw "Dreams" on my last trip to DLP, but still do not know the right place. Thank you!
The best place we found was on Central Plaza ( Caseys Corner side ) by the roped off area for wheelchair users. We stood behind the railings next to a lamppost by the flower bed. The Cm that night was very good at keeping people of the flower bed so as not to block their view. We also found it quite a good place to view Fantillusions from, not front row seats and we couldn't see the dancers. For us, trying to find the best place to watch Dreams from was the priority, we have seen Fantillusion many times before, and anyway it was far too crowded for us to move and change seats. Depending on how busy the park is and how long you are prepared to wait, if you get to the front of Central Plaza and stand in front of the castle,, you will get good seats for the parade and Dreams, with no one to block your view.

Quote from: "ulak"Hi, I have a question that's already taken place many times. I still do not know her exact answer ...
Which is the best place to track "Dreams" and Fantilusion "without changing seats?
How to avoid growing children and fathers back to crawling after the flower beds? Any tip on this place?
I saw "Dreams" on my last trip to DLP, but still do not know the right place. Thank you!
we just got back and we sat on the old water fountains right in the center facing the castle we got there at 8pm and just people watched as we felt sick all day then when fantilusion started we stood on them perfect spot as you can then sit and wait for dreames and stand up again best place for filming as well ( stopped some people from going in flower beds as they moved when we stood up)
Well i am new on here but I have been following disney dreams for a very long time and i wanted to post this video i found on youtube:

I got the impression they stood on the old water fountains. I'm glad I wasn't standing behind them.

That was my fear too - without being too harsh that is not very considerate of the people standing "behind" that spot... And it is just as bad as standing in the flowerbeds...
I don't think your're being harsh, somebody should of told them to get down. Everybody wants to see the show and film, including people standing behind. Maybe they should remove the old water fountains if they're no longer needed, they weren't designed as viewing platforms.

They certainly weren't and I for one know how it can ruin a perfectly good spot.. I stood in a perfect spot for two hours - my camera was all ready on my tripod and then when Dreams started BOOM: the perfect view wasn't as perfect any more because people stood on the water fountains and flowerbeds.
Removing the water fountains would be easy and would make Central Plaza even better looking and of course prevent people from standing on them. Also I think they should use the costs to have one guest flow CM assigned each of the four flower beds each night to prevent people from trashing the flower beds (mainly) and ruining people's view (secondly).
The third night we saw Dreams was by a floor bed on the Caseys Corner side of Central Plaza by the area roped off for people with wheelchairs, and the CM did a really good job keeping people of the flowers so as not to block their view which helped us.

Awesome - well hopefully they continue to do a better job with this! Though the main responsibility is still that of us - the visitors. We all want to see this magical show, so if we just think about that when watching, we will all get a good experience of it :)
On July 20th there where troubles with the projections :? . Many people did not notice this because they see it for the first time. The projection goes black for a second and changes into a test pattern, and not only on the castle but also on the water screens, and all other things keep going.
Here you can see the projection problems in my recording of July 20th (this is only the error part, not the full show):

What's interesting though, is you can see the extent of traditional lasers used over the projections! I didn't realise there were that many!

As you can see that crane(Really Visible At The Top-Right) is actually the sky camera recording during TF1 recording Disney Dreams! while testing. See video here: [youtube:316b1ih6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41y1bAJW1iw[/youtube:316b1ih6]
When the camera angles changes and shows Dreams! from the sky, that's the crane. :o

sorry for the question, but are they going to show Dreams the whole September every day? During the week the park closes at 9 pm and i'm afraid it isn't dark enough at this time. Or are there adjustable closing hours?
Nice zoomed in angles of Dreams.

Totally agree, forza_united.
And as ed-uk said, the CMs are doing a great job. When we watched Dreams on Thursday and Friday last week there was always at least one around keeping the flowerbeds free.

Dreams will be on and the park gets dark from about 7pm onwards in Sept so it will be very dark by 9pm.
It looks like they're finally ready to add the theming to the projectors embedded in the castle, now. The walls are up! :D
Only 4 weeks til I get to see it :D! wonder if Ill be able not to cry haha :D
Here's a picture of the work on one of the projectors. It's good they're finally being themed. Past weekend they were still wrapped in the printed plastic sheets, held together by ugly black tape...

Will Dreams be running next year too? Would be a shame if it's only running this year! I loved it, watched it every night during my trip in July!!!
Disney Paris just Tweeted on @Disney_ParisEN "Once again tonight, Disney Dreams! will delight our guests in #Disneyland Park. Just for you, here is the promo poster!"

Could this mean tonight it's possible we see a new scene with Alice In Wonderland?
I see this poster in front of Disneyland Hotel on my last trip trip last week. Disney Dreams was the same. Maybe today...
Alice has always appeared in the show at the end as a cameo , similar to the shot used here.
Here's the poster outside the main entrance to Disneyland park last Thursday.(//http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx319/PeteHawke/P67.jpg)
Great to see some advertising. During my trip in july i talked to a german couple that even didn't know(!!!) there's a firework in the evening apart from that they never heard of Dreams!!
I know that's embarassing ;-) and great connection to a known topic "where are the germans??". We need more advertising here- but that's off topic now..
I ilke this poster a lot!!!
Seems they might have listened to Anthony when they decided to use actual pictures from the show. Compare with an idea he had a few pages back for a poster:

This flower bed lark really frustrates me :x What kind of fool believes it's ok to jump over a fence and trample all over the grass and worse, flower beds. Unfortunately it has now spread beyond just watching 'Dreams' because now it seems to be happening all over the park and at all times of the day (and night).
When I was there a couple of weeks ago people had climbed over the fences in several locations and were having picnics, some had even laid out table cloths to place their food on.........just incredible :evil:
Surely DLP has got to do something about this, otherwise the beautiful fauna of the park will be a thing of the past :cry:
Does DLP really want to become just another Theme Park, of does it want to protect the beauty that seperates it from other attractions throughout Europe?

:x
What might help, is if DLP eradicate the grass areas of the planters - maybe if it was completely flowerbed and shrubbery, guests would the less inclined to recline on the lawn.
I realise it's the guests fault - but along with cast members ushering guests out of there, it might be another option for them to consider.

Maybe they should water the grass before Dreams :twisted: ... Get it all wet and cold and muddy, maybe that would stop people??

Great idea!!!
I really wonder why this behavior started. A couple years ago, nobody ever climbed over the fences to sit on the lawn!!!
I agree with all the comments,but where is everyone supposed to go to watch Dreams? I think that at this time of the year Disney are victims of their own success! Last week I sat down at 5.00 pm to get a good place for Magic on Parade/Fantillusion and Dreams and there where hundreds and hundreds of others doing the same! Come showtime it was unbearably crowded, but in the area I was in (The prime seat in front of the castle in front of the flowerbeds on the left hand side of the roundabout as you look at the castle) a most surprising thing happened! Everyone was sat down on the floor before the parade and they all stayed there so that everyone behind had a good view! As fantillusion approached more and more people arrived trying to find a spot and people were climbing over the fences on to the grass, one cast member tried to move them away but was overwhelmed and eventually gave up! And there they stayed, I had a stand up row with an italian man who arrived just as Dreams started,stood right in front of me with his child on his shoulders and blocked my view. i asked him to move but he refused so I moved and stood in front of him! Petty I know but I get really annoyed with these people who turn up late and spoil things for everyone else! I'm afraid I have no answers for these problems, I guess I will just have to go off season in future to avoid the crowds!

I've been at Dlp end of july and there would have been much room for the people which were sitting on the lawn even in 1st row on Central Plaza!!! But they prefered to sit comfy on the lawn. In general people seem to love to sit on grass and get stains on their clothes instead of sitting on a lovely bench ](*,)
This week the cast members were clearing people off the grass immediately infront of the castle and then at the last minute they allowed a few small children only to be seated at the edge of the grass. they have to do this otherwise the view for the disabled people is obstructed and also the special viewing area for the dinner show guests is blocked if people stand on the grass. This resulted in people being allowed to sit on the grass on the right hand side of the castle but not on the left!

Sigh.....a sad sight :(. Not to make too much out of it....but....comm'n!
People just don't bother anymore to respect the rules or CM's pointing them out. It's not a DLRP problem thou, but one which is seen everywhere in the world, but alot in europe atm. People are getting more selfish and don't respect autority anymore. Look at how people will behave when you say someting of it? 80% will get angry, annoyed or will ignore you completley...bad development of mankind imho :(
But DLRP should put more CM in place at this kind of crowds and try to avoid this behavior, it unacceptable! :evil:
This is sooo annoying. During my last trip they had CMs there on two nights to move people off the lawns and flowerbeds. But poeple don't do this only while waiting for Fantillusion or Dreams, it's happening all day long. I saw people doing picnic or taking a nap on the grass. If I am at Disneyland I don't want to look at some obese guy snoring on the lawn with his belly hanging out of his shirt. Sorry, I don't want to offend anyone of a bigger size, but this behaviour really gets on my nerves. I wonder if some guest have any manners at all. I guess not...
I was at Disneyland Paris from 14th to 18th, and it was really sad to see people shouting at others, climbing, disturbing... As Soap said, Europe is currently in ruins.
And now, some pictures.

I know. The aerial shots are really good. Why can't they put the whole video on their youtube channel. That would be awesome to see.
People sitting or standing where they shouldn't be is not just a dlp öproblem. I just watched the water shows in the Autostadt, and even though people are allowed to sit on the grassy hills, they could not be reasonable enlugh not to trample pver the flowers or sit on the speakers' power supply
I've uploaded the pre-show announcement of Disney Dreams!
[youtube:2kh9jho6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZrk6hGsf0[/youtube:2kh9jho6]
Hi I am going in October for the first time and just wondered how long before it starts we should get a spot? Will it be less busy in October? Also does anyone have any tips as to the best place to stand/sit to see it all? :D
Thanks x
It depends on the day.
To get the best place, you should arrive at Central Plaza at least 45 minutes or one hour before the show starts. That best place also depends on how you want to experience Disney Dreams! If you want to see the entire show area, you could stand near the control booth. If you want to feel the fire you could sit in the front.
However, I think you could get a good place arriving 30 minutes before the beginning.
I watched Dreams in May and we arrived 1 and a half hours before the show start. I have to say we had an amazing view and we were by no means right at the front, but I imagine it would be a bit quieter in October as it was manic back in May. I would say judge it on the day, see how quickly the crowds build up from about 90 mins to an hour before. It is an amazing show though, well worth the wait!!
Is there anyone here from the Netherlands ? Someone who speaks Dutch? I would like to know what exactly the dutch announcer is saying in the video I posted a few days ago. It's above. Write it in Dutch!
Please! Thank you :).
Here it is:
"Dames en heren, jongens and meisjes, Over een paar minuten nemen wij jullie mee op een onvergetelijke reis door de betoverende wereld van Disney Dreams. Bedankt voor jullie aandacht. "
Which means:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, in a few minutes we will take you on an unforgettable journey through the enchanting world of Disney Dreams. Thank you for your attention."
Wow! Love it! =D>
I don't know why, but since this new announcer began to record the Dutch announcements, I'm getting more interested in Dutch. I like this language so much. It sounds melodic. :-"
Thanks, DutchBrit! :) Is it common for you hear "Bedankt voor jullie aandacht" at the end of an announcement? Because in other languages, we simply say "Gracias", "Thank you", "Merci". Does it sound like a Disney film or a Disney-style announcement?

Yes, very common. Just one of those set phrases that you get in any language, like "pleased to meet you" or "I beg your pardon" etc. Whoever does it has a nice, clear, friendly voice which is what you need in an announcer!

Just seeing this photo makes me angry!
when i was there a couple of days ago people were sitting on the grass. I was amazed at everyone sitting down in Central Plaza tho! Didnt know they did that! We decided to go to Central Plaza the second time to watch it, because the first time we couldnt see very well standing around Caseys Corner. So the second time we thought we need to be closer and sat down in Central Plaza just to wait for it to start. Closer to the start time a couple of people right up the front stood up and all around you heard in different languages 'sit down'. I really didnt know that people remained on the floor and was so glad they did! such an amazing view from there!
Europe has become quite vulgar.
I was there agian last weekend. Waiting for two hours for a good pot overlooking the grass so nobody would be in front of me... then directly after the Fantillusion parade people where storming from all direction on to the grass. And not to sit down, but standing and even with children on the shoulders :x
And no time for me to move the tripod with the camera.... I got some great pictures, but all with big heads on it :cry:

I do not understand why the castmembers are not doing anything about this. When the Cental Plaza stage was there, the castmembers where always guarding the grass and surroundings. But now it's not important for them anymore. As long the guests keep coming in the park, they are fine with everything now.
The rude people take the fun out of Disneyland :cry:
I don't know why a CM cannot stand in the grassy areas to keep people out. All I can think off is that they don't have the staff.
We where there for a week in August, since my friend is disabled we arrived in the corded off zone about 2 hours before Dreams, so she could have a clear unrestricted view from behind the flowerbed in her wheelchair.
The first night everything went smoothly , everyone in the disabled zone, and I seem to remember everyone in Central Plaza, was instructed by geust flow castmembers to sit down, afther the leader of the guest flow castmembers told them to do so.
The second night we again arrived 2 hours before Dreams and it was just a nightmare, castmembers where not instructed by the leader to get people to sit down, and only the first 30 mins afther we got there they telling people to get off the grass, afther 30 mins they did not bother about that anymore.
So as soon as Fantillusion started, the entire grass section of the flowerbed was fovercrowded with people standing up, people in wheelchairs did not see anything anymore, and once the parade finished it became even more crowded for Dreams to start.
Even a fight between about 10 people broke loose, alot of screaming and puhsing, afther 10 mins other security arrived and they where escorted out, only to have 20 new people take to the grass.
It was just a nightmare.
Afther Dreams was over and most people left, my friend asked the leader of guest flow castmembers, why they did not ask everyone to sit down like the night before, and why they let people stay on the grass eventually instead of keeping it clear like the night before.
The castmember said they NEVER ask people to sit down, to which my friend replied that the castmember who was in control the night before did, and he simply replied, then u are a liar.
And he just walked off.
Just shows that they either don't get in dept training , or simply don't care enough, or with them changing work positions each night it becomes a mish mash of what they think they should be doin in certain situations, instead of staying at the same work position every night and getting in dept training regarding that position instead of just a general training since they rotate each night.
Disney Dreams! merchandise officially announced by Vasile Sirli on Facebook.
Quote from: "Vasile Sirli"Information posted by David F: At the request of many fans, I am pleased to announce that Disneyland Paris will soon launch a range of products related to Disney Dreams! All products would not arrive at the same time, the range will be expanded over the weeks.
Even if we can not communicate the exact date, the articles may arrive at the beginning of the Christmas Season in the shops. The first products will involve pins, t-shirt, keyring and magnet.
Here is the key visual will be declined on the merchandise.

Although I couldn't be happier that they've decided to sell Dreams! merchandise I'm so disappointed it took them 6 months to do so. That's a lot of sales they've missed out on. Really they should have been on the shelves the day it premiered.
I agree.
I totally agree!!! Nevertheless i'm excited what they will sell! I really like the logo!
Is there any this know about Christmas this year?
I imagine that the Christmas lights on the Castle will effect the quality of the projection of Disney Dreams.
Or will they stop Disney Dreams for the Christmas season?
We're talking about this on the Christmas topic.

Disney Dreams! is programmed for the Christmas season.
Quote from: "Lorum"Have a look here: //http://www.magicforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13778&start=20
Thanks for the info.
After reading this, I'm considering to cancel my Christmas trip this year.
...I was a big fan of Disney Dreams, but now.... it's beginning to get a big and dark shadow :cry: (my opinion of course)
You mean the show is getting a big and dark shadow? I don't understand. Why?
I mean a shadow over the Disneyland traditions we all love. Many things are canceled or cut down this year because of Disney Dreams.
...Don't take me wrong, I enjoy the show very, very much.. until now, I have seen it 6 times. It's a really beautiful show, but at what cost? I think the price is to high :(
But Disney Dreams! may not be to blame. It's a DLP tradition. If we've got this, then do it without that. We deserve a nighttime show everyday, a daytime parade everyday, a stage show four times a day, a nighttime parade everyday and we deserve a second park and not one and a half. We all know it, but we can't do anything.
You are right.
I think it's always hard to accept the changes and say goodbye to the things we love. We always want more, and at the same time, keep the old and classic feeling.
In DLP we could take the "Let The Memories Begin" from Disney Parks in the US and change it a bit to create a new slogan "Let The Buyout Begin".
However, we cannot be sure that is going to happen and, if so, it doesn't mean having a significant change. As I always say "Only Time Will Tell". I think that's a better slogan for DLP these days.
Can anyone tell me if Dreams will still be showing in the middle of January? And do they have parades everyday?
The answer for the first one is Yes, Disney Dreams! will be presented everyday at least until March. For the second, yes, you'll be able to enjoy Disney Magic On Parade!
Have a magical stay!

No - no "Let the memories begin" - i dont want to see other visitors on final grand night show! Disney Dreams is better choice!

To be honest, I'm quite happy that Disney Dreams! hasn't been cancelled any night.
When the park say closes at 8 does that mean dreams starts at 8 or ends for 8.
starts
They put up the Christmas light on the castle, luckily they do not affect the projections much.

I love the little daytime shows the fountains do, it's a nice surprise addition to the day. I just wish they had bright enough LED's to make the jets hold colour, would brighten up the Castle on a dreary day!

Remember, the fountains in the park are similar to that one. But they're not identical.
These are probably borewell submersible water pump, used for water fountains.
Who ever goes to DLRP on October 17, 18, They can register or get information to be on Disneyland Paris' commercial for Disney Dreams! Visitors can be a cameo for the commercial and still enjoy Disney Dreams! at the same time.

Disneyland Paris - Halloween 2012 - Just Add Water with Goofy!
[youtube:p0uuyign]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO0RcYKn42M[/youtube:p0uuyign]
I saw that on the 13th October. Goofy came next to me and started "playing" with the fountains :D That was fun haha!
OMG! The Goofy thing is AWESOME! They do a small show like that with Goofy in California Adventure with the World of Colour Fountains.
What time of day was it? Around 4 ish like always?
I've just booked a trip for December, but one thing I'm realizing just now is that there's a pretty big chance of having low temperatures. Does anybody know if this will have impact on Dreams? I'm really looking forward to the show, but how will they deal with temperatures below 0? I would be really disappointed if I'd have to miss out on the show because of freezing weather. (then again, temperatures tend to be just above 0 during most winters)
Dreams is designed to withstand freezing temperatures. After all, those were the conditions they had when the Imagineers were testing the fountains for Dreams in the middle of the night. ;)
How many times each day they did the Day Time Fountain Show during the Halloween season? There are more merchandise beside the pin? And most important, the show is always identical like it was in April, or they reduced a bit the fireworks?

Hi does anyone know if you can buy the dreams soundtrack anywhere? I would love to have it and I'm sure many other people would too! Just wondering if you could get it? I've got Disney Worlds Wishes and just love listening back to it! Brings back so many happy memories
No you can't, at least I've not heard of it.

Nice one Disney :D/
Nicolas71 reports on Disney Central Plaza that he was questioned by the survey team on Main Street about the possible addition of Glow with the Show! They were carrying along a pair of Glow with the Show ears and asked questions about the design, comforts, etc. Guests wearing these ears would be given access to a privileged viewing area. They would cost around 25 euros (they cost $25 in Disneyland California).

Glow with the show would be a brilliant addition!
Suddenly, we've gone from no Mickey caps at all to Glow with the Show ones! It'd be great to see some people wearing them. And they shouldn't be too distracting, since it's not like loads of people are going to get them. :)
When I saw Dreams! on Saturday 10th we were all given Mickey or Minnie light up ears to watch and I have to say that I didn't notice them at all once the show started. Admittedly they weren't flashing and I was at the front, but I think your eyes are drawn to the Castle. I guess that begs the question as to what is their purpose? To make money and as a souvenir would be the obvious answers as they seem to serve no actual purpose. Unless some people will watch the crowd and not the show?

It adds a lot, especially from the back, however they are pretty expensive and serve a profit purpose. I strongly hope they're in use next week while I'm there :)
They're really amazing when everyone is using them and patterns form from the different coloured hats. But I guess it's still a fun gimmic to have and show off with.

That would be awesome! I think that picture has been airbrushed though.
Im not so sure about the ears....
For those concerned about it, they only gave the hats out to people for free for press photos. It'll never be like that in real life when only about 200 guests are wearing them..

I'm in two minds about these Glow with the Show Ears.
• On the one hand, the technology is really impressive and magical. The hats allow guests to feel like they're part of the show, that they ARE the show, rather than just watching it in the distance.
• But on the other hand, they're a distraction. How can you focus and concentrate on the show, when you have all of these lights blinking around you?
But, you know, Disneyland is (supposed to be) all about new technology and creating new experiences. So, I think it's the right thing to do, to bring these hats to Disneyland Paris. And I guess I'll just have to see them in person before I can truly say whether they're a distraction or not.

It seems Disney Dreams will be getting some new additions next April and some scenes being removed completely.
Text from www.radiodisneyclub.fr (http://www.radiodisneyclub.fr"%20target="_blank"%20rel="nofollow).
QuoteAt this point the show is proposed to 19:00 week, 22:00 on Saturdays and 21:00 on Sundays. The show reached a record level of satisfaction among visitors. With fans questions arise because the last show announced in the program of the park is at 18:15 and Disney Dreams is 22:00. It may be lacking just Disney Fantillusion , such as Walt Disney World in the Magic Kingdom Park with the show "Celebrate the Magic" , but budgets are not the same unfortunately (in my opinion of course). But that is not the subject of the article but rather new Disney Dreams which should arrive in April 2013 for 20 years ! Remember, this year's festivities continue next year!
Disney Dreams currently has 5 scenes that should not change, but some scenes animated films should be amended:
Scene 1: Introduction
Thinker Bell / Second Star to the Right
Peter Pan and Wendy
Scene 2: The shadow fun:
Beauty and the Beast
Ratatouille
Aladdin
Scene 3: Freedom to dream:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Mary Poppins (Deleted in 2013)
The Jungle Book (Deleted in 2013)
Rapunzel
Scene 4: The shadow fights:
Friends of Beyond
Captain Hook captures the shadow
Scene 5: Final
Peter Pan and Wendy
You Can Fly / Second Star
According to sources inside the park (rumor), there should be a scene of the "Lion King" in the show and possibly the movie "Rebel", these two scenes should replace "Mary Poppins" and "The Jungle Book ".
I wonder if they'll just adapt the animations from WDW's Celebrate the Magic show. I hope not.
Also, the new projector cover looks perfect. They've really hidden the door well, because I can't see any gaps where it might open. Now they just need to them the theming for the projector on the castle stage and the ones on top on of Casey's Corner and Gibson Girl.
I'm not fussed about Step In Time going, but I'd have liked to have seen Jungle Book stay. That's a great scene.
Step in Time is little boring and not so unseemly. Lion King will be great!
Quote from: "ulak"Step in Time is little boring and not so unseemly. Lion King will be great!
Lets hope they make use the fountains in the new scenes, as it would be even more of a loss with less fountains in Dreams.
Tonight dreams used different pyro/fireworks during the show. The crossing mortars only made a small appearance rather than the 2/3 they usually do. Secondly the finale was different, very different.
The part where the towers flip/flop upside down, the pyro lingered and was far too light to see the effect.
The spinning fireworks, didn't spin for more than 3 seconds.
Some fireworks also had large bangs, which was also new.
There was also about 3/4 techs standing outside the booth watching the show, along with the same people wandering the park today.
Edit: got some photos ill upload later. But defo different to the rest of the week.
Woah, not been on the forum for a while and find so many things changing in Dreams!
Firstly, I am nether happy nor sad about the Glow With the Show ears - the concept was nice for WOC, but it seems like we're copying. *Shrug* But I honestly will say if they do become a permanent thing - i would buy them. :D
Secondly, I'm shocked that they're all ready changing scenes in Dreams. I thought they would keep it the same for as long as possible because of budget and what-not.
It will be a shame to see Mary Poppins and Jungle Book scenes go - but on the the other hand it would be nice to see new scenes.
I honestly think that (if they could) have Wreck-it Ralph instead. I know it's not out here (uk) yet but I think keeping "up to date" would be better. Yeah Brave is good enough but the scene in WDW that i've seen looks good.
But yeah if they pick the right music for Brave - it will be really pull on the heart strings and give that emotion the show has.
Good changes but every fast to change things in my opinion. :?

Disney need to release the Disney Dreams Soundtrack CD.
Hi we are going to DLP on Saturday for 4 nights.
This will be the first time that we will be able to watch dreams so I was just wondering where everyone thinks the best spot to see it is. (with 2 children as well - one 16 and one a tall 10 year old) Thanks xxx
See it from just behind one of the railings where the snow statues are (main street side), but then one night see it from where the dreams booth is (Green landscaping booth on left), almost seems like two different shows!
It was recorded for The Voice of Holland. Remixed by Afrojack.

Hmm, that's odd. @insidedlparis tweeted - Disney Dreams will be at 23.30 followed by Special New Year's Eve Fireworks.
having seen the schedule, it'll be at 00:05 :)
Interesting video of the final not filmed in the park.

This is looking good. with peter pan and tarzan shows this year, i really enjoy this show.
I think http://www.youtube.com/user/aquatiqueshowint (http://www.youtube.com/user/aquatiqueshowint%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow) provide the fountains for Disney Dreams as they have a playlist called Disney and two of the videos have been deleted.

Show Fontains Disneyland Paris - Réveillon 2013. I have to say this is the best angle I have seen of the fountains.

Hi everyone
We are going on our first visit to dlrp on friday the 4th jan so we r all very excited i was wondering what time the dreams show is as i have booked Cafe Mickey for 8.30 that evening we r going for 1 night 2 days
thanks
Better change that booking time! The park is scheduled to close at 2200 on that night so that's when Dreams will start. If you have to choose between the two it has to be Dreams!
Hi, we are going in May :-) sooo excited, never seen dreams live. Does anyone know what time Dreams was on last May? We are goin May 13-16th mon-thurs. Will it be shown every night?

Hi, can I second that. Looking to book May 2013 this week and wondered what time Dreams will start as have a little one. Plus, is Dreams diffently going to be on in May as the new brochure says extended till Sept 2013. Yet the disney site says its still due to end as scheduled (as per the year not to be missed info page). Sorry just worried as missed it by a week last year and was really disappointed. Thanks
The whole 20th celebrations have been extended by 6 months and that will definitely include Dreams. Have no idea what time it will be shown though.

That voice of holland video truly shows how adaptable the show can be, that looked insane!
Quote from: "gldc"That voice of holland video truly shows how adaptable the show can be, that looked insane!
Can we see some oficial video of this "Voice of Holland" version, please?
And for me sounds nice for Mary Poppins sequence will be replaced with Lion king! Mary Poppins sequence was little sleepy and boring for me. Lion King is more classical...
I altered our holiday plans just so we could get to see Dreams. Luckily the extension announcement came in good time for us to change dates. :D
However, have I got it wrong? Is Dreams a permanent show or just for the 20th celebrations as I thought?
Yeah, it's permanent. We're just worried that they might only show it on weekends or something during off-peak periods to save money. :)

I was just wondering where the source of the info came from DLRP themselves?
Quote from: "Steve Davison"Well it is very cold here in Paris. Very cold. The park is very beautiful with snow on the ground and in the trees, it quite magical. Things are going well. I'll be back in the states soon.
Just maybe in April instead of the current version at the end of Dreams this version could be shown just a thought.

No worry's this was only for tv recordings for the voice of holland ;)
New segments huh... The Lion King one should be great, but I'm not so sure about Brave...

Also, in which segment of Dreams was this picture taken? Or is just an edit? I'd rather much more to see Wreck-it Ralph on the show than Brave, although if that means we get a meet-and-greet with Merida, I don't mind :thumbs: .

La parade sera agrémentée de nouveaux costumes, chars et personnages. Une nouvelle offre de billetterie est à l'étude pour remplacer la précédente — une entrée gratuite à chaque réservation effectuée la semaine de son anniversaire.
But I doubt it.
Some information about the show. New laser effects have been added to the show, especially to the C'est La Fête sequence. I don't know why people who live near the park are not taking pictures or filming videos. Anyway, I don't know if they're testing the new scenes at night.

Wow looks great I can't wait to see what the new scenes look like.
Wow! Just in time! Thanks!!
Some rumours around the addition of three new lasers, according to Disney Toon Studios twitter account. But we're not 100% sure. In this video, you can see some lasers modifications, but not new lasers. Obviously, there aren't new lasers effects in Step In Time and The Jungle Book scenes (supposed to be replaced for The Lion King and Brave new scenes).

Wow looks great I can't wait to see what the new scenes look like.
It's been confirmed that the new scenes for Disney Dreams have already been made.
Quote@DlrpExpress @RadioDisneyClub This was a special event last night. The new scenes have already been programmed earlier this month.
Wow! Sounds interesting. How did they do it? No pictures or videos. And Steve? In California?
I just learnt that the Second Star is missing for about two weeks (I don't know from when to when, but I know that it wasn't there on Friday...). Does someone have more informations about that?
Someone (I don't know where I read it) said he saw a crane during rehearsals this week.
Second Star missing, a crane... Probably a link with the update? A new effect on the Star?
By the way:
InsideDLParis: Works have started on the flame projectors of Disney Dreams!, soon they will 'disappear' during daytime ;-)
Full tweet and a photo joined with it: https://twitter.com/InsideDLParis/statu ... 24/photo/1 (https://twitter.com/InsideDLParis/status/298114948557594624/photo/1%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
Sure, it's related to the updates. I don't know if it's a new effect or what, but remember one year ago, when we were discussing why the Second Star was missing during some of the first shows and rehearsals. Someone said that they were having mechanical problems.
A new effect? I wish that were true... The thing is if rehearsals have been concluded and Steve have already returned to California, this can't be a new effect. Because as far as I know, every single change must be approved by Steve and Glendale. Who knows?
The Star will come back in 15 days. Did you read it?
Here's the picture from InsideDLP.
(//https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BCMd91uCYAAQS2F.jpg)
Lorum, yes, I did. But, the person who gave the information said that the Star will be missing for about two weeks (almost 15 days). I have no idea of the exact number of days it won't be there. I would love to know it, my next trip is in 15 days :lol:
I shall ask a CM tomorrow. If he knows something, I'll post it. Remember to take some pictures!
By the way, the flame projectors' supports are now retractables?
UPDATE 02/04.
Confirmed: Steve is not in Paris.
UPDATE 02/05.
1. Some new pictures of the fire machines.

Dlrp Express posted on Facebook these details about the light up ears for Disney Dreams:
QuoteLes nouvelles oreilles de Mickey lumineuses, qui s'appelleront les « Disney Light'Ears » et qui changent de couleur de manière synchronisée avec le spectacle seront mises en ventes en été 2013. Cette nouveauté utilisera les plus récentes technologies infrarouges !
New bright Mickey ears, which will be called the "Disney Light'Ears ' and that change color in a way synchronized with the show will be in sales in summer 2013. This new feature will use the latest infrared technology! (Translated)
You know Robert97? I firmly believe we are the only ones interested in this topic lol :D On DCP, people are talking about how disappointed they are with this new year in DLP.
I'm interested in the topic because Disney Dreams is a fantastic show full of Disney magic and Storytelling, DLP is obviously so proud of it and the satisfaction rates must be so high, it looks like Dreams is going to be their only show, so the least they can do is give us two new scenes.
I can't speak for people on DCP but I do regret the cancellation of Fantillusion this summer, it's parades and entertainment like that, that separate Disney parks from the competition. I do hope that it's not gone for good and that it will be back again next year if only in the summer, and people will get the opportunity to see it again, or that DLP replaces it with another electrical parade even if it's second hand from Florida. I know EuroDisney couldn't afford to build one from scratch. Fantillusion followed by Dreams was a must for us last summer.

I think DLRPFans was showing how projection animation was changed during testing. No projector animation has been changed over the year until April 2013.
I think he was just comparing testing to today's Disney Dreams because instead of using the humpback whales from Fantasia, they used Pegasus from Hercules.

I guess that "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" is the song that will be used in The Lion King scene.
Info from InsideDLP.
[spoiler:3r558vp6]Disney Dreams, the Immersive new nighttime show at Disneyland Paris is about to change two scenes in April 2013!
This is no news to most of us, but as it's now been officially announced by Disneyland Paris, it's time to look into it a bit more detailed.
After 'Rien Qu'un Jour' from the Hunchback of the Notre Dame, Guests will now answer the call of the savanna, instead of traveling to London
The Lion King, replaces the current 'Step in Time' scene from Mary Poppins. And will be about 1,5 min. long.
Most of the scene was already created for Disney Dreams, before it got cut and got replaced by the 'apparantly' more popular: Jungle Book
The Lion King will be the first scene to use more than 1 song for a scene in Disney Dreams.
It will be using parts of 'The Circle of Life', 'I Just Can't Wait to be King' and 'Hakuna Matata'
Ironically the second scene to get replaced is 'The Jungle Book' by the only Pixar Princess: Merida from 'Brave'
To a Scottish score from Patrick Doyle, the new 'Brave' scene will be about 2,5 minutes long.
The music used for this scene is a combination of 'Remember to Smile', 'Fate and Destiny' and 'Touch the Sky' by Julie Fowlis.
Both new scenes will be completely in 'English' which was already the case for both 'Step in Time' and 'I Wanna be Like You'
For fans of the 'Waterfall' effect at the start of 'The Jungle Book' don't worry! It will still be used during the new 'The Lion King' scene
Both new scenes will be included in the Finale scene and are expected to see soft openings at the end of March 2013![/spoiler:3r558vp6]

Quote from: "Robert97"Doesn't the Be Our Guest scene have 2 songs? Since it has the Can Can at the end?
I believe the The can-can section is in fact a dance break within the song, taken from the Broadway musical version. You can hear it here:

That's right, but Disney has been using that Can-Can style in the Be Our Guest since Animazement in Disneyland Anaheim, I guess. So yes, that scene has two 'styles', if we may put it like that, but we consider them as one unique song, since it's only a different arrangement.
The new scenes sound good ( I've not seen Brave yet), sorry to see Mary Poppins go but there we are. I wonder if it will be possible in the future to have new scenes for Christmas and Halloween, something from the Nightmare Before Christmas springs to mind? This show is obviously going to run and run.
That would be great. Halloween and Christmas in DLP need some nighttime entertainment, and making a special version of Disney Dreams for the occasion would be an interesting starting point.

I love the fact they are going to use some of the fireworks shells used in the final.
QuoteAll the finalists of The Voice Kids are winners! Therefore, they are all to hear every night from april in Disneyland Paris during Disney Dreams!
What does it mean? :shock:
And those shells high above the Castle are not used in the current Disney Dreams, not even in the end. And I don't think they're going to use them because of the noise regulations.

Maybe a special show at the end of Dreams.
I think it just means they will be heard in the Lion King segment, with I Just Can't Wait to be King, as it was said they where recording it for the show.
The winners of some dutch singing competition are the ones singing on the soundtrack to the Lion King scene, thats all :)
Ohh, interesting. Thank you both.
So we assume the Lion King scene was not recorded last year at the Abbey Road Studios, don't we? Honestly, I don't see the winners of 'La Voz' (the Spanish version) singing on a Disney show soundtrack, I ignore how good those children are. I wouldn't mix Disney Dreams with a talent show. Poor Steve, I'm sure it wasn't his idea. But hey! Anyway, it'll sound great.
Yay this video shows some new scenes. Some reason I couldn't get the video to embed here so I linked the video instead.

@Disney_ParisFR just posted on their Twitter feed test? Could this mean they are testing the Lion King scene and the Brave scene today?

They are now selling the MouseEars at Disney Paris. So I guess last night they tested them and just maybe they will be tied into the show tonight even though the new scenes aren't here yet.

at last.. they're selling MouseEars in DisneylandParis, a bit too colourful to my taste but what do you guys think of them?
I do hope the classic MouseEars will show up as well, I would certainly buy those!

I'm assuming they've linked it with one of their other Social Media accounts, or are using an outside app to post so they're testing that.
I don't think they'd put "test' to announce that they're testing anything inside the park.... It's a little bit far fetched ;)

I can't get the video on here for some reason.
Well I'm impressed they seem to have made an effort, finally making use of the projection however simple graphics just adds something Disney to things
Yeah, I think they've done well with this making use of the projections and new music, which makes a change from Fantasmic the last few years. Looking forward to see what they come up with for St. Patrick's Day this year and other festivals like Halloween.

Looks good but think Jungle Book should have been kept in. Get to see this version in person in May.
While I like the lion king scene, I believe both the old scenes where better than the Brave scene. I loved the original version for its originality as much as its effects which the Lion King has kept. Brave however just seems like an extract of the World of Color version projected on to the castle. While it is still a good segment that hopefully will work within the show I believe keeping one of the previous segments would have been better. (Of course this could be the fact I just love Mary Popins and am really annoyed that they took Step in time out)
Disney Dreams is a great show and I can't praise it highly enough. I like the new scenes especially the Lion King, but I would rather have Step in Time from Mary Poppins than Brave. Of course this show will evolve with new scenes coming and going over the years and it's obviously going to run and run.
My main concern is that Dreams is Disneyland Parks only show with the Videopolis and Chaparral theatres closed, and if rumours are to be believed, no more nighttime parades.
since yesterday Disney Dreams has got a new segment: Roi Lion (Lion King)

Will the light up ears be available every night? How much do they cost?
[youtube:cad1d72l]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwY27yBkyws[/youtube:cad1d72l]
also the new scene: Brave!
The light up ears are 20euros per pair and are rumoured to be on sale now.
Disney Light'Ears won't be on sale until June.
What do you guys think of the new Light Ears?
I'm in two minds - part of me thinks they look lovely and like a welcome addition to the show. But another part of me thinks they might just distract me from what's going on in Dreams itself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WLnmTVt ... r_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WLnmTVtGjE&feature=player_embedded%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
When I watch that video from behind the crowd rather than IN the crowd, there's almost something creepy about it and I can't put my finger on quite what it is. Looks a bit robotic almost, but I suppose the whole point is that they light up and flash at the same time.
But still - I'm going in June so will hopefully be able to see them then and make a more informed decision :)
According to the dedicated to DLP website, they have a report that the ears are already on sale!
Personally, I am neutral about them, I may enjoy seeing them on other people, but DLRP are not going to ease 20 euros out of my wallet for a pair!
I like the light Ears as part of the show and I would consider buying a pair at 20 euros for fun. However the effect only works in the audience if enough people decide to do the same. By the time of my next visit I should be able to better tell if the Light Ears are a flop or not.
Unfortunately I'm going to be quite selfish about it :( I look forward to seeing the effect in realtime so to speak, but I will not be up for forking out the 20 euros. :P
Light Ears for June are definitive? not before? sure?
The Light'Ears will be sold this July 2013, not June. And the Light'Ears is not sold yet. Light'Ears were shown yesterday for people who were in the park watching Dreams. They get to keep after. Although they get to keep it, it's not being sold till July 2013.
I love the new lion king scenes :thumbs:
Can't wait to see it in person

I kind of liked the effect it made with the light ears! I`m not sure if I would pay 20 Euros. Since we go in october, I hope the show will still be running on certain days (fingers crossed!!) =D>

I am a little disappointed that they are not launching the Light'Ears at the same time as they are the new segments in Dreams. Maybe they ate concerned that there will not be enough demand for them until the peak tourist season hits. I was really wanting to pick some up before we leave Paris in July. Hopefully I'll get a chance as I think they are great and really add to the experience of being 'in' the show.
Here's a couple of photos of the new Disney Dreams scenes. I'll post some photos of the light ears in action later.

Despite being a big Jungle Book fan, I love the new scenes. Certainly more spectacular and brilliant the keep the show fresh and exciting into its second year. I hope they continue this trend and maintain the quality (if anything, these two new scenes are better quality than the "originals")
And here's a complete video of the informal Disney Light'Ears preview on 23rd March with Marianne Sharpe and David Sultan from Disneyland Paris merchandise introducing the ears and explaining all about how they work and how they were developed:

I like their videos with multiple angles, however its not one taping that :P
The light ears look fantastic.
Here's my little contribution to all the Disney Dreams! videos out there. What's unique about it? Nothing at all :D

Quote from: "mdw"Are the CMs still keeping the flower beds int the middle of central plaza free? Is this the best place to stand with a 3 & 5 yr old? It's going to on at 10:30 when we go. Not sure how they will cope with it being that late!
Sorry, can I repeat this question? Where is the best place to stand with a 5 year old, who will no doubt be really tired out at 11pm show but she is determined [-o< . Thanks
Hey all.
I'm visiting in July and this will be my first trip while Dreams is in operation. I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly what areas of the park/attractions are closed and how long they are closed before dreams. Being July, Dreams is likely to be at 11pm.
The reason I ask is that I was planning on using the time between 10 and 11pm to visit attractions such as Pirates, Indiana, Small World, Pinocchio and Snow White which are likely to have shorter queues at this late hour. Thanks in advance.

Fantasyland was shutting at 5:30pm when Dreams was at 7pm in November, as was
However you could still get to Pirates, so anything from there round Adventureland, Frontierland, Discoveryland, are all still open and accessible.
Big Thunder was a walk on before Dreams too.

Coming Summer 2013 in DLP's boutiques
Any news about when it will be available in the stores of the parks?
I have a question, as a guest who was at the park last summer, I am familiar with the idea of having the parade before Disney Dreams but I know that this parade no longer exists.
Summer park hours means the park doesn't close until 11.
What time are rides likely to close then? Will it be later as there will be no parade? or will it be the same as last summer?
i presume you refer to Fantillusion, Disney magic on parade is still very much on every day! The rides generally close when the park closes although Fantasyland closes up to two hours before Dreams as they have to prepare the area for the fireworks etc.

Okie dokie, thanks :D

I just saw in the DLP winter brochure that they say Dreams will be on "on certain dates" :( (at least that's what they say in the French (//http://www.magicdisneyland.fr/forum/hiver13.pdf)version!)
Fingers crossed that "on certain dates" turn out to be every day... But I get the feeling that if they meant daily, they would have said so...
Anyone as excited as i am to the official premiere of the Light' Ears??
I would like to when it's going to happen!!
Thanks for the link Esmeralda. I'll see what I can find out when I'm there July 18th to 20th. Really excited to see Disney Dreams for the first time.

Have a great time at Dlp, you will LOVE Dreams!!!
Hello , how it looks at this days with Light Ears? Many of visitors have this? How it looks with a little bit of this? How popular? Any good new video with this...? You know what i mean... Thank you!
I presume they have started using them now as they are advertised for sale in this weeks parks programme and I imagine people would be very unhappy if they did'nt work having bought them!

For sale, not ON sale (ie their price is not reduced!) ;)
Random question but I hope someone can help...
Does anyone know what the song is after Disney Dreams has finished?
I love it but I haven't got a clue what it's called!

Ah ok! My fault, sorry!
I hope they'll become very popular! I'm so looking forward to get them and see them glow with the show!
Unfortunately I couldn't see many ears on videos or pics yet!
Are the Dreams show same every night? I'm wondering if it's worth watching it more than once as will be there 4 nights in August? It might be too tiring for my 5 year old.
Yes, its the same show every night choti-DLP made adaptions for the 20th celebrations extensions, but otherwise its the same.
I think, for the 15th my son only managed to see the celebrations once as he was so young.
My DD (18) is furiously avoiding watching ANYTHING about Dreams as she wants it to be a surprise when we see it :D
I just had a call with the Disneyland booking line in the Netherlands and I had to wait on the line. And... I heard the a differ ten version of Magic Everywhere! The "Magic everywhere..." was the same but the part at the beginning was differ ten from the version played in the Park. I think this is the new version... Sounds great!
With only a few days to go, I just sat and watched Dreams from start to finish so I could support my son who has additional needs. I dont think its him I will have to worry about! My daughter is going to be a gibbering wreck! The Lion King was her first love when I introduced her to Disney, then follwed by Brave and Rapunzel, her newest loves! Oh dear! I think I need to go buy more tissues!
Hey! I've just returned from DLRP and have now seen dreams 6 times! :thumbs: Just wondering if anybody else has noticed a green and red laser randomly dotting around the castle before the show starts at random intervals about an hour before the show starts until the beginning. After much disscusion amongst our group and observation we can't work out if it's the dreams lasers from the rooftops of Mainstreet or someone with a laser pen! We couldn't see any laser light coming from the mainstreet rooftops when this was occuring (not to mension it looks unprofessional and bad!) which is making us think it's not Disney but they are rather bright lasers and have been there all 6 times which all point to the possiblity of it being part of the show/testing procedure. Can anybody shed a light onto this mystery?! In anticipation here's a pretty cool picture we took of the projection beams and laser beams during the post-show animation!
http://instagram.com/p/cjfv2eJHFQ/ (http://instagram.com/p/cjfv2eJHFQ/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow)
I wondered the same, but its definitely not every night. On my last trip, I watched the show four times, and it only occurred on the one night.
It's kids with laser pens. You can buy them cheap from those gypo's outside the train station :P
Dedicated to DLP website says that Dreams will go on nightly until September 2014......and will not end at the end of this coming september, is that true? I am going in November after a veryyyyyy long 5 years since my last DLP trip and would love to see it.
Wow what a beautiful song after Dreams. Havent seen Dreams yet (will in exactly 3 weeks), but this song is pure Disney. I love it!

Yes, it seems so :thumbs:
Hello everybody!
We are so excited - tomorrow is the start of our journey to DLP.
I wanted to ask you for some clever idea about chosing a place to stay and watch the show. Where is the better place, how early do we have to be there before the start?
Thank you in advance! :D
Hello everybody!
Our magical journey is about to begin. Tomorrow we are heading to DLP for third time.
I wanted to ask you about the Show - where do you think is the best place to watch the show? How early should we be there to reserve places? These kind of advises would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance! :D

There are some very small sensors on the castle in different places, this could easily be a system calibration that they are using to make sure everything is spot on, or a light sensitivity meter to ensure the laser is not to dark or bright for the weather.

There are three in this picture, little round silver things which look like small lights.
Pretty sure they're the LED lights used on the castle for many years, even before dreams (but they were just strobes back then)

I read that dreams will be on every evening till September 2014, does this mean that on our visit between the 8th and 12th of October we have the chance to watch it? I was under the impression they would be busy setting up the Christmas version thus not showing it between September and December this year.
Yup, it'll be playing nightly until the Christmas season starts in November.

Thanks! Glad to hear that, was afraid they might only put it on Saturdays for example, which would've meant chosing between leaving on time or staying till late and have a very exhausting car ride home :)
Hey guys!
Just saw somewhere that Disney Dreams will be on every night for another year until september 2014....anyone got a confirmation of this news pls? :D Hope its true! As Ill be at DLRP from the 30th(thurs) of Jan until the 2nd(Sun) of Feb, so it would be awsome to see it every night! :)
Yes it's true, and probably many years after that

I'm heading off to DLRP 9th Jan, a few days after the xmas season finishes, i presume they will revert back to the original dreams (which I haven't seen), or have they got another version planned?

There will not be any shows in those theatres.
Unfortunately we haven't had a proper stage show in 2 years and there won't be any for a while.
Disney Dreams is a daily show at closing time of the park.
So during your visit, you can see it every day if you want.
At what time it starts depends on what time the park closes.
You can find closing times on dlrpmagic.com and the official Disneyland Paris website.
Getting a it fidgety now, is Dreams! going to continue after September?
98% likely :)
Until the 25th I don't think we'll see any change to that, was brought in specifically for them to showcase and retain people in the park at night.
Quote from: DisneyManiac on April 10, 2014, 06:52:05 PM

You have nothing to worry about.
Disney Dreams was planned to stay until April 2019.
So even after a two-year celebration of the 25th anniversary.
But considering the popularity, there's a well chance it will even stay after that.
Brilliant news... just booked for christmas so we will hopefully see the frozen version of dreams.
Yay! My Auntie and Uncle will get see it, will be there first time watching Disney Dreams!, also will be able to ride Big Thunder Mountain at night, not to mention Phantom Manor!
Have they changed dreams this year? Last summer they added brave and lion king and removed jungle book and Mary poppins. Any changes for this summer?
Good question! I hope, they haven't changed it. ;)
I don't think they have changed anything. There would be a video on YouTube with the new version.
No changes. None rumoured either.
I know dreams is on daily at the min until november I think? But will it carry on after then? Im going in Feb amd would love to watch it again, it was so magical! We were all wrapped up in scarves, hats etc, nice and warm watching, then the rapunzel scene came on, and I cried because my little girls were singing away, they were so happy! It was our last night so I was on a high from our lovely first time trip. Would love to see it again in feb. Any ideas? Thanks
Bordering between extremely likely and definite.
Okay, so by following this link: https://www.booktickets.disneylandparis.com/tnsa6/live/shop/A/MAINGBCD/pluto/product_list.php?affid=SECUTIX&tduid=32454335543R
Which leads to Disneyland Paris's Official Online Ticket Store, they have released the Halloween Party with Maleficent taking center stage, but it also mentions Disney Dreams therefore possibly certifying that Dreams will continue but could there be an update for Halloween? Only time will tell...
No special halloween version, sadly.
Damn and blast! I thought it was a sign!

They'd advertise it a fair bit, they'd also feature it for the entire halloween period, tied in with thats the same description as normal Dreams! as the brochure has for the normal periods.
I truly wish we were seeing halloween Dreams! though.
Is this at 11 in the evening when the park closes - unfortunetly with 2 young kids (5 & 1) I think we will miss this, shame
Will Dreams still be showing at end of January? Been wanting to go back to Disney for ages but had to wait until my little one was old enough to appreciate it.
I called to enquire about shows etc for 2015 and was told that Dreams will be on till the end of september
Awesome. Even more excited now
I would imagine Dreams being on now for the foreseeable future, considering they have only just recently started the theme the housing for the projectors and other bits related to the show.
That says to me that they plan on using them for quite a long time.

This was confirmed even before this Summer.
Disney Dreams started off with a contract until April 2019.
And considering the popularity it'll probably stay even longer.
But it will stay until at least April 2019. So the 25th Anniversary included.

Really? That's great news - where did you hear/read that? I was just thinking that it would be a crying shame if Disney Dreams were to stop... brilliant to hear that's not likely any time soon.
Just wanted to add that we recently saw Dreams for the first time, and really loved it. We last went to DLRP in 2012, just before it was added. We were there in December 2014 to Jan 2015 so of course it was the Christmas/Winter version of the show, which was really well orchestrated, with Frozen and Toy Story themes, and the show was "presented by" Olaf. Everything in the show worked really well, including all the effects, and the show was brilliant - I got quite emotional. The only strange thing was that they featured the entirety of Olaf's "Summer" song right in the middle, which was really well done, but didn't fit at all with the rest of the Winter themed. The "Let it Go" section was particularly well orchestrated with the fountains and fireworks, and Olaf was a great host. We were most amused by his continued running commentary after the show had finished (which included "don't forget your bags... and your children" !).
Disney Dreams is definitely a spectacular addition to the Parks and a real showcase for the wonderful Paris castle 8)
