Disney Dreams!

Disney Dreams! was a nighttime spectacular at Disneyland Park in Disneyland Paris.http://www.dlrppressinternational.com/ViewPressRelease.aspx?PressReleaseID=117275 It was designed specially for the 20th anniversary of the resort and ran until March 24, 2017 after which it was replaced by Disney Illuminations. Conceived by World of Color creator Steve Davison, the show features projection mapping onto the park's castle, fireworks, water fountains, fire, music, lasers, searchlights, mist screens and other special effects.http://www.dlrppressinternational.com/ViewPressRelease.aspx?PressReleaseID=117270 Since spring 2011, Dreams began testing with original projector animations, but in late 2011, some scenes that were tested in early 2011 were deleted and others were changed. Using the technique of projection mapping, the castle can be visually transformed in numerous ways such as shrinking, spinning and turrets flipping. A revival of the show was premiered on April 12, 2023, as part of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration.
==Plot==
The story of Dreams is based on numerous Disney classics such as Peter Pan, Disney Villains, and Disney Princesses. Peter Pan's shadow escapes once again and ruins the magic of the star. The dripping magic sparkle shapes into Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. Peter's shadow goes through a number of Disney classics.
Peter's shadow is captured by Captain Hook and threatened by other Disney Villains. Peter's shadow is then returned to Peter Pan and tries to defeat Captain Hook. Peter spots Tinker Bell and tells her to put the magic of the Second Star where it belongs.
At the end, Peter and Wendy fly off as Wendy says "On s'envole Peter! On s'envole! (Let's fly away Peter! Let's fly away)" to the music of You Can Fly.
==Premiere==
In February and March 2012, users were posting pictures and videos of Disney Dreams. In late February, DLRP Today reported that the premiere of Disney Dreams would be broadcast live on French TV network MYTF1 hosted by E! France host Sandrine Quétier. Also reported was that Dreams would be simultaneously broadcast live on the official Disneyland Paris YouTube channel. On March 31, 2012 at 10:30PM, the live broadcast was discovered to be a pre-recorded version of Dreams from when it was tested.
==Subsequent additions and changes==
In 2013, Disney Dreams introduced two new scenes from The Lion King and Brave. The two scenes replace the Mary Poppins and Jungle Book scenes. Disneyland Paris began selling Disney Light Ears, which are remote controlled light-up ears that are synced to the show. LEDs inside the ears light up in a variety of different colours. The Light Ears (known as "Glow with the Show" Ears in the US) debuted in 2012 at Disney California Adventure for World of Color and eventually made its way to Disneyland Park in California and Walt Disney World in Florida for Fantasmic! and all of its firework shows.
In 2015, a new scene from Frozen was introduced, replacing the scene from Brave, as part of the Frozen Summer Fun celebrations.
===Disney Dreams! of Christmas===
On November 10, 2013, a full-length show titled Disney Dreams! of Christmas debuted. Hosted by Olaf, along with Anna from Frozen, the show celebrates the winter season with several holiday-themed segments, featuring scenes from Frozen, Toy Story, Bambi, Fantasia, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Lady and the Tramp, Melody Time, and various vintage Mickey Mouse shorts. The show incorporates traditional holiday-related music, including "Carol of the Bells", "Let it Snow", "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Believe", "Silent Night", the "Nutcracker Suite", "Jingle Bells", "I Have a Little Dreidel", "Feliz Navidad", "Joy to the World", and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" as well as Elsa's famous song "Let It Go".
=== Return ===
Despite its closure, Dreams was temporarily revived several times throughout the run of Illuminations, often times for paid after-hours events for the resort's Annual Passholders (AP). The show in its entirety was brought back during Mickey Mouse's 90th Birthday Party AP event in 2018, while its finale was used to close the Mickey's Magical Souvenirs show that was presented during the 30th Anniversary AP Party in 2022.
On January 10, 2023, it was announced that Dreams will be revived as part of the resort's 30th anniversary "Grand Finale", replacing Illuminations. The show will be presented starting April 12, 2023, the park's 31st anniversary and 11 years since its debut. The revival will also use the new LED mesh screens installed on the castle roofs for the Dreams! of Christmas revival in 2022. The Disney D-Light pre-show that was introduced in 2022 will also be presented before Dreams.
