This year, the name to remember is ‘Duffy’. Like Mickey, Minnie and Dingo before him, this little bear is set to become an emblematic figure of the Disney family. This Christmas time, the Disney Store best seller will get a makeover from renowned designers: Jean Charles de Castelbajac, Lolita Lempicka, Isabel Marant, and Alexandre Vauthier ... before going on sale at Disney park shops and being given as a gift to children in hospital …
But a life-size Duffy will also be in the park. He will link arms with visitors and will be at the centre of special celebrations at Disneyland Paris Park which include: Once Upon a Dream Parade: from November 7th, Duffy will accompany Father Christmas on his sleigh for the traditional grand Disney parade to hand out thousands of presents! The town Christmas tree: 24-metres high, it will be lit with thousands of lights every evening by the mischievous Duffy.
hows and other events will conjure up all the magic of Christmas in the park: Princess Aurora’s Christmas wish: a musical with dancing that reinterprets the story of Sleeping Beauty. Disney Fantillusion: every evening, a nocturnal parade with a blaze of lights greets visitors. Mickey and the magic of winter time: Mickey and his band of friends will delight the whole family with this show on ice.
Aurora’s Christmas Village: A Christmas market, Disney style.
And heaps more surprises …
To celebrate the New Year, the park will open its gates on December 31st for a massive fireworks display over Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. A magical moment not to be missed as the clock strikes 12-midnight.
