New shows highlight new year at Disneyland Paris

August 28, 2023, 6:25 AM · A new Alice in Wonderland stage show will come to Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris next spring, Disneyland Paris announced this morning.

The as-yet unnamed musical will offer a “modern and flamboyant twist” on the Disney animated classic, according to the resort. The show will debut in spring 2024 and offer audiences “the unique opportunity to influence the outcome of this show,” according to Disney.

In other news this morning, Disneyland Paris announced that reservations will open September 12 for the refurbished Disneyland Hotel, which will reopen to guests in the first quarter of next year.

“This ultimate experience at Disneyland Paris will transport queens and kings of all ages into the worlds of the most iconic royal characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ classics, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, and recent movies that have been ‘crowned’ with success, like Frozen, Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon,” Disneyland Paris said in its press release.

Finally, Disneyland Paris announced a new event, Disney Symphony of Colors, which will start January 8. The event will include a new nighttime show at the castle, with fountains, lights, projections and drones. And in February, a new castle stage show will debut, celebrating Disney and Pixar animation, including Mirabel’s Disneyland Paris debut.

Another show or parade thats all they announce what about a couple of new attractions. Nothing new here in over 10 years.

Make it 20 years. No completely new ride for two decades at Disneyland park. It's bordering on ridiculous and unreal.

Disney is still setting up this resort for failure, they’re still horrified after the EuroDisneyland debacle. Keep being the worst Disney resort, Disneyland Paris.

Tell me you've never been to France without telling me you've never been to France.

Because, as Lumière says, "this is France," I imagine the new Alice show's "modern and flamboyant twist" will see all the characters going to strike, as the stage managers invite the audience to enjoy "the unique opportunity to influence the outcome of this show" by coming up on stage and finishing the production themselves.

@ Robert... In other words, they'd simply be inviting the audience to "Be Our Guest"...and finish the show!

Walt Disney park def needs some attention, so at least it is something new. Also good to see them choose an older IP for a new show...
