Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland is coming back to Disneyland Paris in spring 2027, giving Disney Adventure World another live entertainment draw as the park's transformation continues.

Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland: key show details

Disneyland Paris has confirmed that Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland will return in spring 2027 at Disney Adventure World, bringing back one of the resort's most distinctive live productions. This is everything you need to know:

• Return date: Spring 2027

• Location: Disney Adventure World, Disneyland Paris

• Show type: Live outdoor stage show

• Theme: A modern Alice in Wonderland retelling with an ultra-colourful pop rock twist

• Story: Alice returns to Wonderland for a tea party invitation from the Mad Hatter, only to face the Queen of Hearts in a new showdown

• Set: A 68-metre-long stage with urban styling and references to the animated film; with Nine-ramp BMX course set up like a skate park in front of the stage

• Stunts: Acrobatics and BMX performances integrated into the show

• Music: Show songs already available on Spotify

Disney Adventure World is not only creating immersive rides and landscapes; it is using large-scale live shows to shape the identity of its reimagined second gate. Giving families more reasons to book a 2027 trip to Disneyland Paris to experience Disney Adventure World, which will also be debuting a new UP attraction during the year.

What to expect from Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland?

The show begins with Alice returning to Wonderland after an invitation from the Mad Hatter, expecting nothing more than a tea party with friends. But the Queen of Hearts has also been invited, leading to another bright, high-energy confrontation. This time, Disney says, it is not croquet but a new spectacular face-off.

Rather than a retelling of the animated classic originally by British author C.S. Lewis, Disneyland Paris is presenting the show with a colourful and modern twist featuring BMX riders and catchy pop-rock tunes. Disneyland Paris describes the show as “one-of-a-kind”.

The production's appeal is also tied to movement, spectacle and the contrast between Disney storytelling and action-sport staging. For UK families with older children or teens, this show is likely to be a favourite as it moves beyond the traditional character show.

What makes the Disneyland Paris Alice show different?

The outdoor staging and BMX production is a different show style to what is currently on offer in Disney Adventure World. A 68-metre-long set, which is roughly about two thirds of the size of your average football pitch, with an additional 9 ramps laid out in front so that acrobats and BMX riders can move across the space in time with the music, gives the show a hybrid live-performance and extreme-sports feel.

It’s an unusual show-type for a Disney park show, and there is nothing like it in Disney World for guests to enjoy for example, even though they have the warmer Florida weather. By combining familiar Alice in Wonderland characters with stunt performance and pop-rock energy, Disneyland Paris is giving visitors a format that looks likely to feel closer to an arena event rather than a conventional daytime theme park offering.

Why the returning Alice show matters for Disney Adventure World

Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland originally debuted in 2024 in Walt Disney Studios Park, but is returning in 2027 in Disney Adventure World. The production earned rave reviews first time around, with visitors enjoying the live and unique outdoor show. Here is the full 30 minute 2024 show:

Why this matters when your planning your 2027 holiday from the UK?

The release of this new show so far in advance says that Disney Adventure World is going to be about more than rides, so for UK visitors looking to get more out of their day, this experience will offer a different form of immersive entertainment. The scale of the production matches the scale of the park, which is creating a more immersive style that is similar to Disney World.

While this live entertainment show is not a reason to book a summer 2027 Disneyland Paris visit, it is part of a bigger 2027 opening line-up that will affect how you plan itineraries. Disney Adventure World will have a new attraction and immersive show, which will increase the amount of time people spend in the park.

Soundtracks are also becoming a big part of any Disney Adventure World release, and this show is no different. You can listen to the show songs right now.

Can you listen to the Alice and the Queen of Hearts songs now?

Yes. You can get in the mood for the show a year before its return by listening to the album on Spotify.
