Entertainment

One of the greatest ways to enjoy this season is by watching the shows and promenades that are performed multiple times a day. Please check the Daily Park Programme for show times.

Goofy's Garden Party @ Swing into SpringGoofy’s Garden Party

Performed four times a day (except Tuesdays and Wednesdays) in Central PlazaGoofy’s Garden Party is the best way to get into the Spring Fever. The show focuses on Goofy’s topiary creations among his Flower Power friends and can be enjoyed from many locations around the hub, as dancers and characters appear from both and Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and the end of Main Street.

If you are into Characters, the show is perfect for you. You can spot Goofy (obviously), Mickey and MinnieDonald and Daisy (both couples coming in beautifully decorated cars), Chip and DaleAliceThe Mad HatterTweedledee and TweedledumPinocchioGepettoPoohPigletTiggerEeyoreClarabelle and Horace Horsecollar.

Swing into SpringWelcome to Spring

This 10-minute show with Mary Poppins and her Friends evolved from a previous show in Central Plaza, the Spring Promenade (now replaced by Goody’s Garden Party), that debuted in the first year of Swing into Spring. However, Mary Poppins had a massive influence musically, so they created a small stage show near the castle with the memorable songs from the film. This year they improved it even more, so give it a watch if you have time.

There are not many locations where to watch this show, except the front of the Castle Stage. However, there are some things you can do to have more interactions. If you stay in the area of the stage before or after the show finishes, you can get some extra smiles and waves from the Chimney Sweepers or even Mary Poppins or Bert.

Minnie’s Little Spring Train

The Sping Train is decorated as the Chesire Cat (from Alice in Wonderland) this year and it’s filled with characters: MinnieDaisyClarabelle the CowClariceThe White Rabbit (from Alice in Wonderland) Thumper & Miss Bunny (from Bambi) and Rabbit (from Winnie the Pooh). There are also two Finding Nemo Easter Eggs with Nemo and Dory.

Bunny Boys and Bunny Girls dance on the catchy rhythm of Hippity Hoppity Springtime, a song from Tokyo Disneyland that you can listen to right here.

Forest of Enchantment @ Swing into SpringThe Forest of Enchantment (Until May 8th)

Forest of Enchantment is a brand new original stage show that debuted at Disneyland Paris on February 10th, creating a synergy with the Swing into Spring season as it focuses on nature and its elements.

You can re-discover stories like PocahontasTarzanThe Jungle BookTangled, or Brave and celebrate the power of nature among them.

Live musicacrobatics and character appearances create a beautiful spectacle at Chaparral Theatre five times a day. It’s recommended to find a central seat in the theatre, as the support pylons may obstruct your view.

Near Chaparral Theatre, you can also find a food chalet (menu can be found right here) with themed treats, and a small shop called Forest Treasures with various merchandise and character costumes for little girls.

Disney Dreams! @ Swing into SpringDisneynature Pre-Show (Earth Month: April 1st – April 30th)

Every night, five minutes before the nighttime spectacular Disney Dreams!, a celebration of nature awaits to catch life on Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

Flower Arrangements

Aside from the seasonal Spring collection that you can find in Main Street U.S.A.’s shops ( mostly in the Emporium and New Century Notions Flora’s Unique Boutique), Disneyland Paris also made a partnership with L’Atelier Green Factory for some unique products.

Every weekend, from 18:15 to 21:45, enjoy a Flower Market in front of Flora’s Unique Boutique on Main Street, where you can buy flower bouquets available in two designs, for 15 Euros.

The first arrangement, Minnie’s Garden, creates a subtle blend of almond green tones (Goblin carnations) and pale pinks (Meijer Avalanche roses).

The second arrangement, Spring Bloom, blends the worm color of the Chepri carnations to the softness of the white Meijer Avalanche rose.
