Disney Dreams - An Immersive Nighttime Spectacular !



Disney Dreams will be the first fountain show ever at Disneyland Paris. It will not only feature foutains but also fire , water vapour , projections , water screens , lasers and fireworks !The projections will be both on the Sleeping Beauty Castle and on the 2 9m long water screens on both sides of the castle. The exiting thing about Dreams is that Steven Davison is working on it . Steven Davison is the designer of the spectacular 'Fantasmic' and 'World of Color'

Now what's the story about these 'Dreams' ? Well, Peter Pan's shadow escapes and makes his way through the classic Disney stories ! The one thing which is very important in the story is 'The Second Star To The Right' but where is it hiding ? If you take a look at this pictures also from the CGM shot by http://www.papa-citoyen.net/


You'll see that the highest window is opening up and the shining star is coming out . Now we need to explain the story after the shadow escapes the only way to do that is using the music schedule :

Now you can imagine how the show will look like but the opening of the show was released as an animation with the presentation of Dreams our friend from Papa Citoyen was there and made a short video of it :

The show will premiere the April first. But you can't make Dreams in one night so with the pictures of ThemeParkZone.es which give a view of what's going on in the waters of Disneyland Paris.
Those waters are dry now and people are working day and night to get everything finished. The first pictures display the construction which makes the water screens , it is far from finished and this is what they look like from Central Plaza :


And when you go close you can see them in their full length , there with two the right one ...


The left one ...


These are probably going to move a bit and get theming , there are rumours that they are going to  be placed on an elevator due then it would be time to install those ...

Now continuing with the fountain bases , you've got 3 kinds the "Big Blasters" which can go higher than the castle itself . They bring the power and the wow-factor. You've got the fountain bases with the dark green box at the end those are very important for the show as they are the most used in the show. They you've got the thin lines with small mouths on it those are giving water vapour which is partly for the show but they can be used to cover up the ugly fountains during the day giving Sleeping Beauty Castle a magic fog (similar to the Tarzan , The Encounter fog).



And ofcoure the water screens need to be projected from behind , they made a hole in the castle's rockwork next to entrance of  'La Tanière du Dragon' the attraction sign has also disappeared a picture of  @InsideDLParis show a black constructions moving in to the rockwork.
