The entertainment team at Disneyland Paris has redefined nighttime spectaculars with their latest innovation, the Disney Electrical Sky Parade. Inspired by the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade, this new drone and light show is a must-see event running through September 30, 2024.
A Tribute to a Classic
The original Main Street Electrical Parade holds a special place in Disney history, enchanting guests since the 1970s. At Disneyland Paris, it first debuted in 1992 and ran for over a decade. Now, Show Director Mabrouk Reguigui and his creative team have brought it back in a bold new way—using drones, lasers, fountains, and projections to recreate iconic parade floats in the night sky.
Stunning Technology and Iconic Scenes
Featuring over 500 drones and nearly 20 specialty drones with onboard pyrotechnics, the Disney Electrical Sky Parade transforms the sky into a canvas of dotted light. Guests will recognize beloved characters and scenes like the Blue Fairy, Cinderella’s coach, Casey Junior, and Elliott the Dragon—all reimagined with dazzling effects.
Each scene is synchronized with a refreshed soundtrack that honors the classic parade’s electro-synthe-magnetic musical theme. Music Producer Jonathan Barr and Composer Rick McKee crafted an immersive score that blends nostalgia with fresh energy.
A Dream Team Behind the Scenes
The show is the result of a collaborative effort between Disneyland Paris and Dronisos, a European leader in drone entertainment. From pyrotechnics by Metin Cig to lighting design by Adrien Mourey, the production includes contributions from dozens of creative professionals under the leadership of Executive Entertainment Director Dana Harrel.
Live Entertainment Producer Ben Spalding, who once performed in the original parade, summed it up best: “Seeing the pyro give a pixie dust effect to the ship as it flies through the sky is a dream come true.”
Don’t Miss It!
Disney Electrical Sky Parade is more than a show—it’s a tribute to Disney innovation, nostalgia, and nighttime wonder. If you’re planning a visit to Disneyland Paris, this spectacular is worth the trip on its own. Just make sure to see it before it disappears after September 30!
