Hello everyone!
I am new and I just want to discuss in a sole topic all the rumors and news about the 25th anniversary of DLPR, particularly:
-Shows and parades: what do we know about new shows and parades for the anniversary? Are some new shows or parades scheduled?
-Is there a chanche that "Fantillusion" (or a night parade of that sort), may appear again for the 25th?
-Is that truth that a new night show in The Studios (similary to the open cerimony of the Tower of Terror) is scheduled?
- What's the future of Dinsney Dreams? Will it be renewed in a way similar to the new "Disneyland Forever" show at Disneyland in California? What's the destiny of the "Christmas Version"? And what about the Halloween one?
Thanks a lot!

I can only tell you about a new parade which has been confirmed by the imagineers who are designing it. I've heard of the rest of the rumours, but it's all speculation so far. Can't wait to see what surprises await us for the 25th!
Welcome to the forum moeb! :)
As msRavenwood has said, some of the details are very few and far between at the moment. Hopefully it won't be too long before they start letting at least some of the details out.
If I remember right, they have to reveal some of it to travel agents for them to be able to promote the 'big event' themselves. That can't be too far off as we're only 6 months away from them starting to showcase packages for '17.
I have heard rumours of a projection show on La ToT, but nothing about Fantilluision. Maybe they could combine the two? That'd be quite a unique show for the Studios 15th Celebration.
I heard at first an entirely new parade, then I heard there had been cuts and they would be reusing some elements and floats from Magic on parade as well as some new ones, so no idea really.
I'd also heard of a projection show on the Tower, but with guest flow already an issue in the studios that could be an absolute nightmare, it seems likely that the studios will be getting extended opening hours though for the 25th, I also heard at various times this year that the Studios would be receiving more stuff for Halloween and Christmas next year, we saw more decorations than usual at the Studios this year, so that points to a possibility although not strictly 25th related.
If it is a new parade I hope its nighttime, Magic on parade still looks pretty good and it could last another 5 years for sure. We need a nighttime parade, every other Disney park has one, it makes us look awful in comparison, ideally it'd be Paint the Night (look it up if you haven't seen it, stunning parade) but if the budget was an issue I'd take Fantillusion, heck I'd take the MSEP if we could find some old floats lying around in the various parks, the Asian parks get new parades all the time, any chance they have a few floats lying around? We could hobble together something, a real botched job in true DLP fashion! ;)
I believe the Fantillusion floats have been recycled or destroyed after their last run?
I really hope they bring back the nighttime parade. There needs to be a parade at night otherwise what is there to do at night before the fireworks?

Question for you all. Seeings as this is the 25th thread - should there be a separate one for WDS' 15th? Admittedly its unlikely much will be done for this milestone.
Just didn't want to create a pointless thread, if it could be encompassed into this one.

Probably not much point considering that as you said, they probably won't make a big deal of it.

I doubt anything will happen so it seems a bit pointless, though I think the 20th will be very good for WDS!
Well I see That my post seems to be a good point for discussions! Very well, I am pleased about That. I also notice That lots of disneyland fans seem to miss a nightime parade as shown in other resorts. I must agree with the people who share this opinion. i have always thought That Disney Dreams is spectacular, no doubt, but even if i know the huge amount of money required for this show, this is not enough to Justify the lack of a 'light' nightime parade. Do u aegree? Enjoy
I miss the night parade in Paris so much - would swap Dreams for a parade any day. I kinda feel like Dreams is a slight money saver for Paris - less cast needed and all that :(
I absolutely loved Main street elecrical parade. Loved the song and even the annoncement.
Well, according to rumour, there's one sitting in Hong Kong that's not being used now that they have Paint the Night. Why not dust it off and ship it on over?

It's a long shot but someone should tweet Catherine Powell (CEO, Think that's her name), she seems to listen to fans and may not be aware of this, super long shot but it couldn't hurt. Imagine getting a nighttime parade and a new daytime one!
I've said it before on other threads on this forum that I would love to see the MSEP back at DLP in all its glory. Dreams is brilliant there is no doubt about that but for those sentimentalists amongst us it would be great to see an old and much missed friend back even if only for a short time.
BRING BACK THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!!!

I'll tweet her too then.
How long did it run for at DLP? Did they have it in '92? If so the 25th is the perfect excuse to bring it back.
Edit: According to Wikipedia, its original run was April 12, 1992 - March 23, 2003. So there you have it - one of the original parades from opening day.

I mean I'd rather not, we need to move past all that, I think in some ways Disney is held back too much by tradition. Look at Shanghai Disneyland, they decided to throw some of the old stuff out the window and the old Disney tropes, look at what they are getting, Look at their pirates ride and compare it to ours, look at TRON in comparison to Space Mountain. Slightly off topic but I'm not saying get rid of ours, but more they need major overhauls. Seriously watch this, absolutely incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zXhoJe4iM
But to steer it back on topic that applies for parades as well,look at the amazing things they've done in Asia and even with Paint the Night in California, whereas WDW is still stuck with the tradition of using the extremely old and outdated MSEP, I wouldn't nessecerily be against a REVAMP of the MSEP, so keeping the theme and general idea (as well as the music) but new floats, effects and characters. But I'd prefer a new parade or something more modern from the other parks.
On the SDL Pirates, sure its good, but I prefer the original one. Paris' version is regarded as one of the better ones anyway. Plus the new Pirates is an attraction based on a movie which is based on an attraction - and it feels like it. A PotC for the video-game generation.
However, I do see your point when it comes to the MSEP. It probably would look very dated to our modern tastes now. As you said they could revamp it - so, if money was no object, why not do what Tokyo did and 'plus' the parade? Dreamlights features the classic floats, mixed with newer ones that feature more recent characters. It's a win-win.

That rides looks amazing with the set design & features, however it didn't feel like a POTC ride at all. DLP needs updating but still prefer it. DLP just needs some new rides/attractions.

Agree totally , dlrp is way outdated and although there are sentimental types out there the general population want new , bigger and better ..
The younger generation don't care about an original potc or its background .
Sure the vast majority of people who ride it wouldn't have a clue as to the difference between dlrp or wdw potc attractions regarding originality or have or not having jack sparrow etc .
Other parks around the globe are moving with the times , not just disney and if paris wants to compete , well they will have to join the rest and upgrade .
That Shanghai potc ride looks incredible btw . WOW !!
I am fairly confident DLP have a fantastic 25th Celebration planned to celebrate the resort. As we know there will be a brand new parade as the imagineers designing the floats have told us.
I'm excited to see the new floats and I wonder what characters will be involved. I also suspect we will have a brand new Anniversary song so it will be farewell Magic Everywhere which will be such a shame but DLP know how to create a great song.
Unfortunately as we know DLP can't afford to make 2 new parades so I suspect we won't have a new nighttime parade this time but maybe for the 30th anniversary. I suspect a refresh Dreams will appear. ( I wouldn't like to choose which films to change because it's practically still perfect today).
I also reckon the train will be back in a refreshed state as it's DLP tradition to have a character train and it's still popular to this day after it's use in Swing into Spring.
I can't wait to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Chip, Dale and Clarice's anniversary outfits for the occasion!
Roll on April 2017!
I can honestly appreciate how expensive a new parade is, but, to everyday people (not us crazy dlp fans) one parade doesn't look that special for the 25th... (people won't release theres refurbed rides)
I hope they include more rare and different characters for meet and greets - not Marie again please DLP. Thrown in with decent decor throughout the resort (not just main street and MK) and something parade / show esque on an evening (not saying new just saying like the summer, spring, halloween parade to keep the seasonal effects better).
I would never personally visit Disney out of a themed season as there is so much more to offer, parade and show wise so I really hope I don't have to miss the 25th year for lack of things to do.
Plus when you think about it the new parade is going to be around for years to come so they must have more planned that just a parade and refurbed rides... right???

Well I'd love to say yes, but at the moment it appears that that's it is going to be for the 25th. They're certainly not going to add any new attractions - construction needs to be well under way for that.
At the most all we can hope for is that they actually announce that there will be new attractions for both parks in the future. A sort of 'birthday present' of sorts - just more like a gift card to be redeemed later, rather than a shiny new attraction we can ride.

One thing that would realllllllllly please me would be to add loads of scheduled characters in - cheap and keeps people happy! They literally can just use costumes they have but up the number and rarity so it feels more special. I'm so gutted it's just the parade. Think 2017 and 2018 are going to be miss years for me. With the price increase it's not viable to do mini breaks anymore I would rather save for other parks and go once every 5 years as that is seemingly the only time anything changes :(
I for onE would love a tinkerbell our fairies meet n greet. maybe somewhere around adventure isle at tge bottom of tge Swiss family tree thirty could make a little pixie hollow. don't think that would cost to much to add. b

Exactly. Maybe there's a chance they might just be able to get a Toy story Midway Mania attraction built in time for next year too.
I'm sorry to say that I don't think Midway Mania will arrive in time for the actual 25th.
It took 16 months for the construction of the DHS version, with another two months for DCA. Which means if they break ground now, it'll be November '17 or January '18 before the doors open. Granted it's still the 25th year, and no doubt they'll do the old 18-month celebration trick.
we definitely have one new attraction for the 25th anniversary and that is Star Wars 2 and if rumours are true a revamped Pirates of The Carribean. I think the majority of the 25th Anniversary will be all new Entertainment offerings and decorations. A new parade is a big 25th Anniversary specially if it is completely new which by the rumours it may well be.
Over on Twitter ED92 did this amazing article listing the rumours for the 25th. It's a very interesting read and one you will all want to win. :)
http://www.ed92.org/#!DISNEYLAND-PARIS-25-The-First-Details/oamjc/576ac7c20cf2710e3e69848b
Rumours are good and all but when will they actually announce 25th celebrations?
Hello everyone!! i have some Juicy news I have read on different websites on the internet...I'll try to sommarie them but I NEED a pc and I am now from mobile...I'll try to post something within midnight. Enjoy ;)
Can't wait! ;D
only rumors but interesting, source: various web sites. I apologize for my syntetic topic but I have not so much time to post all the news in detail. Anyway:
- blue and white decorations similar to the ones of the 15th anniversary. During nightime these decorations should twinkle with a little bit of pixie dust...
- a new daytime parade dedicated to the anniversary and the return (?) of fantillusion
-a new disney dreams similar to "ignite the dream" in Shangai Disneyland
- new starwars land with a totally renewed ride
- a space mountain mission 3?
- pirates of the carrabean with jack sparrow?
- a new nightime show for the studios, similar to disney dreams with mapping effects, lights and projections on the tower of terror?
I have to say that rumors are rumors.....but there are a lot of thins to talk about, isnt'it? ;D

Decorations sounds legit, I believe the dreams thing too and I think Pirates will get Sparrow but the rest I cannot see. Sure the daytime parade will be a thing but the Fantillusion floats I believe have been destroyed and used for various cavalcades. That parade won't be coming back I'd think it would if the floats were in one piece but they are completely destroyed.
I think a Star Wars mini-land will be a thing, Not officially and not with a great deal of theming at least for a while, the Hyperion theatre and Star tours are in the same area and I believe we've heard we're getting a character meet and of course the shop so its a mini-land with discoveryland theming.
Mission 3 I can't see, MAYBE an overlay installed during the next closure in early 2017, but It seemed weird during the start of the 25th to have a Star Wars overlay, could see it in 2018.
As much as I'd love a show for the studios I don't think it'll happen, maybe in 2022 for the 20th of the place, or during some big redevelopment programme but not for the 25th I just doubt the money will be there.
Fantillusion HAS to happen. Will be ridiculous if there isn't a light parade for 25th.
Fantillusion won't happen.

I disagree, it will be a success regardless of whether or not it has a light parade, however without one it will not meet the DISNEY STANDARD which paris so often falls short of.
Not all Disney parks have a night parade - many have shows encorporating lights, colours, fireworks, projections etc. Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios in Florida and California Adventure for example. I agree that a night time parade would be wonderful, but I think its misleading to say it is "standard" to have one. I'm sure we'll at the very least get a new version of Dreams, which is a wonderful show, up to standard with the nightime shows at the American parks...

Not all parks have a night time parade that is true but paris is the only resort without one. So a new nighttime parade would be great.
Fantillusion won't be coming back as the floats are used for the Halloween and christmas cavalcade/Parade, but a new night parade would be nice. I think the Studio's could benefit from that but I read somewhere that because of safety regulations they are not allowed to do a parade in the studio's

Looks like the rumours about a projection show on ToT are probably true. They were doing some tests yesterday.

I remain cynical, maybe they were just testing projections for some event or party to display a name on ToT?
Surely not, its gotta be something, I dunno what they could do though? Castle sorta fits since its magical and theres all these magical characters on it. What do they do on ToT that would fit? Emphasis on stuff like Star Wars and Marvel, POTC and the other physical movies? Sounds like it could be cool actually.

They have a new Star Wars projection show in Florida, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar type of thing tested out in Paris.
^It'd be great to have that show transfer over. But is Tower really the best canvas? The Chinese Theater is quite a broad structure, with La ToT only really occupying one vertical space.
Surely it'd make more sense to use the Moteurs village (plus the derrière of the Tower). They could then add other physical effects on the stage.

This is what I've been saying for a while, they want the Tower to be the centre of this park, the castle of the park and that's why I wholeheartedly thought the GoTG thing wouldn't happen

According to Disneylandberry (whose reports are mostly accurate) a show similar to the one in Florida is indeed coming to WDS. Apart from projection tests they are also testing pyrotechnics on the ToT facade.
First look on the 'Season of the Force'

eek that looks fab. i wonder when it's gonna start
I read that it will probably start in January, but it's unknown how long it will run for.
Disappointing. Why just Star Wars? Why not throw in other live-action Disney films too?
I'm really glad that they're finally giving some much needed TLC to WDS and that they seem to be trying to make WDS more of an all-day park rather than one you'd go to for half a day but I can't help but think Star Wars doesn't really fit?
Every Star Wars attraction is currently in Discoveryland so having this in WDS and not together with everything else seems a little random. I think a Marvel themed projection show would work a lot better, particularly since they already have the Spiderman meet and greet there.
Such as? Star Was is one of the most popular franchises and it always draws big crowds. Like it or not, it's a money making machine and apart from being a timeless brand, it's once again in the forefront with the new trilogy and the anthology series which will attract a new generation of fans. DLP would be stupid not to seize the opportunity! ;)
Agreed about Marvel, but even all the Marvel movies put together can't compete with the Star Wars crazies! ;D

Haha this is true! Admittedly, I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but The Force Awakens blew me away. Went to see it multiple times in the cinema!
I'm definitely more of a Marvel fan so perhaps my concerns are also a little biased!! :P
Those pictures look amazing. I would definitely spend more time in the studios to see something like this. Huge star wars fan, love marvel and other Disney live action films too. A mixture would be good.
I'm sure the show (DHS) is better in person, but I was a little underwhelmed by it. Although the lightsabre finale was rather good.
I think no matter what its a step in the right direction for DLP to capitalise on things that are popular and current, look at the lack of promotional merchandise or characters for recent movies a lot of the time. Hopefully its a step in the right direction for that sort of stuff.
I think it fits WDS well, I still am not convinced that Star Wars land belongs in Disneyland in California, It fits better in DHS and in paris it would fit better in WDSP. Regardless I think it'll still eventually end up in Disneyland Park here but for now having it in the Studios is great, WDSP has no parade and no nightime shows, this is a huge step towards making it an actual Disney park, its had nothing like this, just bring back Stars and Cars and you've got a different WDSP!

I'm not saying they should get rid of Star Wars from the light show but mix it in with other stuff.

I'd agree if we had any of those things in the park, it could be a celebration of the Disney studios live action work but we don't, granted we had no Star Wars either but at least that's more marketable, I would've loved a Pixar show, would have made more sense with the theme of the park too..

I don't see how it matters if the park includes them or not. Star Wars only just seems a bit limiting compared to the kind of mixture they could do.
Given at how the new head of Parks and Resorts is finding ways to add Marvel/Star Wars/Frozen wherever possible, I think the chances of anything pre-aquistion being added to the parks is pretty slim.
