The new minisite (well, the 2006 one redone again) has just launched:

They've even attempted to give the event its own logo (remember when every event/show/parade got a logo back in the 90s?). It's not bad, kinda amateur but nice to see a the effort.



These new events for national celebrations (incl. St Patrick's) have become really good, especially details like those awesome unique costumes for the characters...

This is going to be celebrated this weekend
Sadly this year they were not aloud to take my year as were in year 10 gcse year they said were not aloud to miss anydays of school which is a load of rubbish.
Its a year today since i went to DLRP last !

Good news is again alot of schools are going from wales for this festival ! =D>

The fireworks for this event were called 'Dreams in the sky' not a title I have heard used before at dlrp.

For a small even they were good, typical dlrp style set to music from Fantasmic! Little odd to hear the music in this setting, some show lighting was also done on the castle although its not amazing. I wonder if this show will be anything like the summer fireworks if wishes does not return?

I just looked at the 2007 show and the 2008 version is much better feel like more pyro used, 2007 show had moments where there were no fireworks.

The English introduction to the show is the same lady who did voiceovers for the WDW whilst I worked there, you can hear her mainly at Epcot. I like her style she is much more upbeat in a Disney style than the usual voiceovers used in Paris. Both this show and the new years have been very much so more Disney than in previous year which is a trend I like and hope continues.

OMG, the efforts this year are much better than last years!
We went last year for St Davids Day fesitval and it was mainly only the Disney Village with a few welsh stalls and fireworks display in the evening, i am in love with the Welsh lady costume on Minnie!

[Patrick]

Ok, that was a very odd choice, fantasmic and wales?  Hmm, i'm confused now :? , I kind of thought that perhaps last years choice of music was a better fit.  Even if that was also a complete odd choice.

[Riebi]

I have no problem with the music. Why not?! There won´t be as much "disney insiders" as we may think. So for them it will only be a piece of music and not the fantasmic! score.  :mrgreen:

[Anthony]

Minnie's welsh costume is one of the best ever, she really suits it. Must be pretty rare too, only at DLRP and only for 4 days per year. Music doesn't really fit the fireworks, but it's better than the New Year's Eve '08 effort. All DLRP fireworks seem to look the same though. I know they're limited, but not that limited. Hopefully this Summer will have something original.

Baloo did you not like the new years 08 fireworks I thought they were the best yet.

It looked different than the usual display, different launch patterns thing like that and I thought and the music was great very festive/magical. I have found past new years eve in Disneyland Paris too adult, yer I know they have to appeal to both children and adults but this is Disneyland.
