This isn't a rumor Tarzan , The Encounter is coming back to the Chaperal Theatre for the 20th Anniversary . You can read everything about the content of the show in a previous article Tarzan The Encounter . Now it is a suprise that the first preformance will be at the end of April when most of the 20th anniversary entertainment is rolling for a while and that they will miss the Press Event , the Official Opening of the Season , the birthday itself (12 April) and a very bussy period the holidays of Easter. The last preformance will be in september , its almost sure it will end along with the summer entertainment. Now if you're adoring the show , next to seeing it you can join it by auditining on this Official Link. If you've never seen the show befor I strongly recommend the previous named article . Now to fresh up the memories here's a video of this truly amazing show wich has been running for a couple of seasons .
Tarzan The Encounter , a show in Chaparral Theater origally started on 1st of april 2000. It origally ended in 2007 , But Disneyland Paris mangement has changed their mind , and Tarzan is back.
The abrobatic and heartwarming show was seen during the Magical Moments Festival.
Due it was a succes , howlonger it played how les crowdy it was ... But now there back for this summer season and almost every preformace is full. The two worlds are again a succes.
"Medames et monsieurs , Lady's and gentlemen , meine dame und here , Tarzan , La Rencontre !"
The start sentence of the show and when the smoke pops out from the roof , monkeys appear from every corner. The show kicks-off with the lovely 'two worlds' from Phil Collins in 5 diffrent langues : English ,French , Italian , spanish and german.
Al apes do some amzing stunts ! and then you hear ... a baby cry !Tarzan appears as baby with the heart-warming song : You'll Be In My Heart. And as the story continues the other apes don't like this baby...
Then the show get quiet ... but the show continues with setting up some material for another amazing part with the most energetic and just amazing stunts ! When you don't see it in real you don't believe it how magicaly the story has toled. Those imazing stunts get done on the song son of man !
And when the most action is over. Poof ! there is Tarzan !
Speaking about tarzan , one minuit later you see Jane on the scene. And then when the monkeys find some stuff from the 'second world' jane stops by in her lovely yellow dress.
After Jane meeting some of the monkeys , on the number of Strangers Like Me . She gets her jungle make over and ...
Two Worlds , One Family !
Tarzan meets Jane, a breathtaking moment ... and swings into the public ! After an amzing duo preformance they leave the stage.
Oh whats that in the tent ? oh look Terk find his way to the stage with his very catching : Chu-bid-doo-da-ba-doo-bee-dobie -dada doo whap skni doo ! He takes the audiance and makes a great and fun party ! even kids can make some noise !
After this party a meet-up from all amazing prefromers , the show sadly comes to an end ...
We've got exclusif news ! Disney's Fantillusion will leave after this christmas season ! And there is NO replacement plannend . That means we don't get a other nighttime parade.

Disney's Fantillusion existed long before it premiered in Paris, many miles away... in Tokyo! When Disney Fantillusion premiered at Tokyo Disneyland on July 21st 1995, it was not just a new light parade, it was a magical mix of light, music, special effects and Disney characters to create an experience that took Disney parades to a new level. Since Tokyo Disneyland didn't have the lagoon or space required for the popular "Fantasmic" show of the American resorts. Disney’s Fantillusion was designed as a parade version of this night-time good versus evil spectacular. But in 2003 the Main Street Electrical Parade finished after running in Disneyland Paris for 11 years. This parade is only visbile during the Summer Season , Christmas Season and Haloween Soiree Prive.

The Enchanted Flower Garden :
The magic words come to the speakers ''Medames et monsieurs et vous les enfants. Ladies and gentelmens , boys and girls . Disneyland Parc est heureux de vous presentez , proudley presents The Disney's Fantilussion Parade !"
And Disney’s Fantillusion Parade begins with magical multicoloured glittering float, from which Mickey creates the light for the parade by manipulates the "Disney Light" to create the shimmering Magical Garden which follows behind him. As Mickey stops the parade, an explosion of light which brings with it the arrival of Goofy, Pluto and more of your Disney friends, all joining in the magic during the Enchanted flower garden.
Mickey brings the parade with a dazzling rainbow of colour, as Mickey arrives in style on a sparkling flower float, to cast the magic of the Disney light into the night of Disneyland Park with Tinkerbell walking in front of the float to wave her magic wand to help Mickey create light for the parade. And Goofy , Chip and Dale and Pluto walking behind the breathtaking float. (characters may change on special events.) Behind the Mickey-part of this float you can see the lit up logo of the Parade.
A colourful Gazebo in Mickey's Magical Garden moves magically along the parade route . Due unfaverbule wheater Tinkerbell takes over this float.
Next after the Gazebo float the three enchanting garden fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merry weather, enjoy the delights of the glittering garden carousel and its gathering of lights and talk to the public watching the parade as they past through Disneyland Park .
Finally to finish the Enchanted Flower Garden an enormous butterfly perches on a giant enchanted flower, as many colours and lights dazzle your eyes and the enchantment makes your spirit soar.

First float is Maleficent as she laughs and cackles at the edge of her castle as it is covered in dark green vines and purple around the float before Maleficent magically transforming herself into a spectacular fire-breathing dragon (note the smoke is asthma free) so if anyone has asthma they won’t be affected by the smoke.
