Enjoy an Enchanted Christmas at Disneyland Paris in 2014

Disneyland Paris is treating guests young and old to a world of winter wonders for the next two months by kicked-off its Enchanted Christmas season.

N0158571-1024x681

This Christmas sees Merida, from Disney Pixar’s Brave, appear at the park for the very first time. Similarly, Disney guests will finally be able to meet Anna and Elsa, Frozen‘s royal sisters, in person.

Disneyland Paris is also debuting a new sugar and spice themed parade called Disney’s Christmas Parade during the two month Christmas season (which lasts until January 7th, 2015) and 3 new scenes from Frozen have been added to the nighttime spectacular show Disney Dreams…of Christmas. The Enchanted Christmas season was launched in style by European celebrities and their families who celebrated Christmas at the park about six weeks early!

There’s plenty to look forward to during the season for adults too as Disneyland Paris’s traditional New Year’s Eve parties, celebrated with Mickey and Co., continue as 2014 becomes 2015!

The entire Enchanted Christmas season sounds pretty magical – an enormous Christmas tree, frosted decorations, encounters with Disney characters in their holiday outfits and, of course, Father Christmas! Also, an essential ingredient for Christmas magic: snow falling every day on Main Street U.S.A.!

Now, I just need to convince my fiancé that we need to celebrate Christmas in the parks!

Create Your Story at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

The marketing for this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom is themed to a storybook, as you can see in this interactive ad:

The Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party page on the Disney World website is also getting into the act with the same interactive storybook feature. I found myself enjoying the feature for quite a while, following different paths to find different surprises and performances from the Rusty Cutlass pirate band or the Dapper Dans. You can create a story for yourself at this link. Enjoy!!!

“A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” Confirmed

A recent Disney press release concerning Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party confirms that “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” show is coming to the Magic Kingdom, at least on party nights:

Walt Disney World Resort unwraps a sleighful of entertainment offerings during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on 19 select evenings beginning Nov. 10 – including a rockin’ new stage show to welcome the winter wonderland season.  “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” features Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wazowski and a jubilant cast of party-goers who discover the true meaning of the season during their annual Christmas party.  The interactive musical revue features “songs of the season” in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits.
As previously reported, this show will use the new Tomorrowland stage formerly occupied by Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.
What “songs of the season in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits” actually means for the soundtrack of this new show is questionable. Does this mean that there will be holiday songs performed by Miley Cyrus and other Disney singers or will the music simply be “pop” versions of some classic holiday favorites?
It is also uncertain as to which, if any, characters will appear on stage and who will may appear on the screen above guests. There is a slight possibility of the living character technology being used in this show, but seeing as the description does not mention it, we are lead to believe that Mike Wazowski, Stitch, and Buzz Lightyear will be there in-person for each performance.
One final question we have is concerning performances of this show following the conclusion of the Christmas Parties. Since the now defunct “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas” show and all of the other entertainment from the party typically became a part of the Magic Kingdom’s regular entertainment schedule during the holiday weeks, will “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” make the cut as well? Only time will tell.
