More information about Symphony of Colors coming to Disneyland Paris next year has been revealed. In addition to the Disney Electrical Sky Parade, there will be a new daytime parade as well as decor and lighting on Main Street U.S.A.
A Million Splashes of Color Parade
A Million Splashes of Color, a new daytime show performed as part of Disney Symphony of Colors, will debut on February 10, 2024. Symphony of Colors will officially commence at Disneyland Paris on January 8.
The resort shared that A Million Splashes of Color will “take guests on a journey through time to discover the stories of Disney Animation and Pixar” in a press release issued on November 18. Disneyland Paris also provided new concept art for the show, with the first piece placing a float in front of Walt’s – an American Restaurant on Main Street U.S.A. Mickey stands on the float that’s fashioned to an artist’s desk as Mirabel from “Encanto” and Stitch wave to guests.
The show’s floats “will be inspired by art, music, and writing – the core elements at the very heart of Disney Animation and Pixar’s storytelling.” Each float will have its own unique “visual identity” and be packed with references to Disney characters and films.
Disneyland Paris writes that the show will feature a “[combination of] two original scores and a mashup of iconic songs from both Disney Animation and Pixar films,” including “The Bare Necessities” from “The Jungle Book,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from “Encanto,” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from “Toy Story.”
Performers will wear costumes that are aesthetically consistent with the floats during performances, with vibrant multi-colored swirls slowly encroaching on their uncolored black-and-white garb.
Minnie and Mickey Mouse will also don vivid new costumes for the show, with Disneyland Paris sharing an in-person look of Mickey’s multi-colored outfit.
