The Return of A Million Splashes of Colour
A Million Splashes of Colour is returning for the 2026. This daytime musical spectacular is performed in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle and features a high-energy soundtrack and a cavalcade of characters from both Disney and Pixar.
Returning to the park this for the first time since 2024, this high energy parade runs through the central plaza at set times during the day. You can find the showtimes in your Disneyland Paris app, but be aware that this show is affected by the weather.
This show is a literal mood-lifter, if you aren’t excited enough given you’re at Disneyland, Paris. Plus it is a parade, and effectively a piece of bite-sized magical Disney entertainment that you don't need to spend 90 minutes queuing for.
This show is all about the atmosphere and bridges the gap between seeing just the traditional Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse by adding in modern Pixar characters too. You can expect to see Luca and Coco, so if you are on a multi-generational trip its worth planning on grabbing a drink and standing to see this parade at some point during your day, as there is something for everyone.
A Reimagined Minnie’s Dream Factory Returns
Over in the soon to be renamed Walt Disney Studios Park, the return of Minnie's Dream Factory is generating quite a bit of buzz, as the show is coming back with a reimagined show experience. A new story is being told, so if you have seen it before, it will be worth watching again. You can expect updated choreography and more. Disneyland Paris have shared a snippet on Instagram so you can see what to expect:
This 20 minute show is also indoors, which means that should the unpredictable and highly possible February drizzle hit, you can retreat into the theatre to watch the show. It’s on roughly every hour and definitely family friendly, but likely to be the biggest hit with nursery and primary school aged children.

Why these updates matter for your February half term trip
Here are some of the park-wide benefits that these shows add to your half-term trip to Disneyland, Paris from the UK:
With these shows back, queue times for big thrill attractions like Big Thunder Mountain or Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure often dip during performance times.
With the pound-to-euro exchange rate always on our minds, having world-class entertainment included in your park ticket significantly boosts the per-hour value of your trip, so you feel like you are getting better value from your ticket price.
The parade experience is one of those quintessential Disney experiences in the castle parks, plus if you’re feeling the Disney World, Orlando blues, a parade gives you a hint of those vibes. Parades are also a great way to lift the park atmosphere and takes it from just a theme park to a Disney park experience.
In February in Marne-la-Vallée the cold can still feel biting. These entertainment additions are perfectly timed to ensure you aren't just standing in cold queues, but moving between vibrant, heated, or high-energy experiences.
