On September 12, 2025, Disneyland Paris held a special Annual Pass event called Disney Starlight Night. What made this night extra exciting was that it took place in Walt Disney Studios Park instead of Disneyland Park. It had been a long time since an AP event happened in the Studios, and it was great to see it return.
This event was all about celebrating Walt Disney Studios Park. Guests were treated like the stars of the night, with special shows, character meet-and-greets, entertainment around every corner, and even some attractions open late.
Shows in Every Theater
Walt Disney Studios Park has several theaters, and Disney made sure to use them all for this event. Each one offered something fun and unique.
The Amazing Premiere (Studio Theater)
This was the main show of the night and a real highlight. It started with a special welcome by the Disneyland Paris Ambassadors, inspired by the old CinéMagique show. Then, the show kicked off with Mickey and Minnie on the red carpet, followed by appearances from:
- Remy, Emile, and Linguini from Ratatouille
- Roger Rabbit (a very rare appearance)
- Edna Mode, The Incredibles, and Frozone
- Max and Goofy performing songs from A Goofy Movie, like “I2I” and “Stand Out”, just like during the Max Live show from Disney Fandaze 2018
The show ended with all the characters and dancers returning to the stage for a big finale. We loved it so much, we watched it twice.
Sparking Royal Ball (Animagique Theater)
This was a beautiful show focused on Disney Princesses and Princes. Some of the royal couples featured included Aurora and Phillip, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, and Belle and Beast. The music was performed live, and the atmosphere felt very magical.
Heroic Appearances (Avengers Campus)
This was Avengers Campus’ first time being part of an Annual Pass event. The area hosted a special version of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Dance Challenge, with Star-Lord, Gamora, and Deadpool. Throughout the night, other Marvel characters appeared, including Scarlet Witch, Agatha Harkness, Mighty Thor, and even The Thing.
Alice in Wonderland DJ Party (Theater of the Stars)
Behind Avengers Campus, guests could dance at a DJ party with the Cheshire Cat, based on the Alice & the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland show.
Disney Starlight Night Quiz about Disney and Pixar movies (Studio D)
Guests could take part in a fun quiz all about Disney and Pixar movies. We skipped this one because we weren’t sure if it would work well for non-French-speaking guests.
That’s a Wrap! (World Premiere Plaza)
This was a live and interactive show where director Charlie de Luca was shooting the final scene of his film, based on No Biz Like Showbiz from 2019.
(Rare) Character Meet-and-Greets during Disney Starlight Night
One of the best things about this event was the chance to meet characters that are rarely seen in the parks. Some of the characters we spotted included:
- At the park entrance: Donald, Daisy, Clarice, Chip and Dale in formal outfits
- Animation Celebration: Frozen characters and Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon (her first appearance in Disneyland Paris)
- La Terrasse Perrier: The BDX Droids from Star Wars, making their first visit to the park
- Stitch Live Theater: Darkwing Duck and Launchpad McQuack
- Tower of Terror: Goofy in his bellhop outfit, with Hollywood Tower “guests” helping bring the story to life
- Worlds of Pixar: Monsters Inc. characters, Anger from Inside Out, and more
- Cars Road Trip loading area: A rotating lineup of Pixar characters like Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Bo Peep, Carl, Russell, Dug, Miguel, Sadness, and Joy
Attractions, Food, and Shops
During Disney Starlight Night some of the park’s attractions were open, and a few places offered food and drinks. There were also some shops open for merchandise,
Final Thoughts about Disney Starlight Night
Disney Starlight Night was a fun event for Annual Pass holders and a great return to Walt Disney Studios Park. The live shows were amazing, especially The Amazing Premiere, which stood out as the best part of the night for us.
