==History==
===Tokyo Disneyland===
In October 2013, Tokyo Disney Resort announced that the Castle Projection show "Once Upon a Time", a new nighttime entertainment at Tokyo Disneyland, will premiere on May 29, 2014. This fantastic and heartwarming nighttime entertainment uses projection mapping technology to produce a three-dimensional effect by projecting images in a way that fits the contours of buildings and other structures. This is the first time for this technology to be used in an entertainment program at Tokyo Disney Resort.
The show soft opened on May 26, 2014. It was raining that night, so some fireworks were not produced. The show also had performances on May 27 and 28 before the actual opening date.
To avoid overcrowding problems, the show features ticket systems for special viewing areas.
====Frozen edition====
On January 13, 2015, Tokyo Disneyland presented a winter event called Anna and Elsa's Frozen Fantasy. During the period, Once Upon A Time features a special winter edition, featuring the scenes and songs of Frozen, replacing Snow White and Winnie The Pooh scenes, including "For the First Time in Forever" and "Let It Go". The event ended on March 20, 2015 and will be held again in winter 2016. Although the event ended, the show was over popular. Therefore, the park decided to extend the show's ending date until July 5, 2015. After that, the original show still continued.
===Magic Kingdom===
On October 26, 2016, it was announced that the show would be coming to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom on November 4, 2016, replacing the previous projection mapping show on Cinderella Castle, Celebrate the Magic, as part of its 45th anniversary celebration 
Magic Kingdom version has some difference from Tokyo Disneyland version because they only used minimized use of fire, with a greater reliance on fireworks and more searchlights, although lasers were added in June 2017. This version only runs 14:30 minutes and excluding Snow White and Tangled scenes, and replace them with Frozen scene from special winter version.
On March 12, 2020, the Magic Kingdom version had its final performance, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
