Disneyland Paris is set to implement widespread entertainment changes starting this September. Several beloved shows across both parks are scheduled to go on hiatus, while one of the biggest seasonal events concludes early in the month.
Show Hiatuses Begin September 1st
As of September 1, 2025, multiple shows at Disneyland Paris will temporarily close:
- Mickey and the Magician (Walt Disney Studios Park)
- Alice & the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland (Walt Disney Studios Park)
- The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands (Disneyland Park)
These closures mark the beginning of a multi-month entertainment pause. Specifically, Mickey and the Magician and Alice & the Queen of Hearts will remain closed through the end of the year, while The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands is expected to remain on break until November 7, 2025.
Disney Music Festival Ends September 7
Only one week into September, the festival atmosphere will fade as the Disney Music Festival, which has been animating Disneyland Park since April 19, will conclude its run on September 7, 2025
This Disney Music Festival, themed around live concerts, character street performances, and daily musical moments across the five lands of Disneyland Park, has featured highlights such as:
- Minnie’s Marching Band on Main Street, U.S.A.
- Disney Music Hits Concert in Videopolis Theatre
- Grand Orchestra Finale in Central Plaza
- Musical acts like Miguel’s Fiesta Latina, Moana and her Musicians, and more
These elements will wrap up with a final fanfare on September 7.
Summary Table of Key Changes
| Date | Event / Show | Status Change |
|---|---|---|
| September 1, 2025 | Mickey and the Magician | Temporarily closed |
| Alice & the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland | Temporarily closed | |
| The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands | Temporarily closed till Nov 7 | |
| September 7, 2025 | Disney Music Festival | Festival concludes |
What It Means for Guests and Fans
These changes signal a dramatic shift in entertainment programming at Disneyland Paris:
- Short-term visitors in early September should plan carefully: the festive flair of the Disney Music Festival will disappear after September 7, and all three major shows will already be off-line starting September 1.
- Fans of classic stage productions like Mickey and the Magician, Alice & the Queen of Hearts, and The Lion King should be aware of their extended hiatus into late 2025 or beyond.
- Entourage and trip planners may wish to explore alternative experiences—such as daytime parades or other attractions still in operation—since several marquee shows will be unavailable for months.
