Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade Returns to Disneyland Paris for 2025
The Christmas season is back at Disneyland Paris, and one of the highlights is the return of Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade! Running twice a day along the parade route from November 8, 2025, to January 6, 2026, this parade replaces Disney Stars on Parade.
The parade keeps the winning formula with five beautifully themed floats, each featuring a Christmas tree designed to match the float’s style. There are two versions, one for daytime and one for evening, with the night version sparkling with twinkling lights.
Reserved Viewing Area Moves
This year, the Paid Reserved Viewing Area has a new location: on the sidewalk near the Plaza Gardens Restaurant fountain, facing Central Plaza. It’s no longer in the center of Central Plaza by the four show stop stages, which makes it easier to access, especially for guests arriving closer to parade time. The Reserved Viewing Area costs €21 per person, more information can be found on the official Disneyland Paris app.
Parade Updates
This year, there are a few small updates to the parade itself. Mulan now joins the other Disney Princesses, although she doesn’t have a parade-exclusive outfit like the others.
During the evening version of the parade, princesses who aren’t on the float carry light-up flower bouquets, making them easier for guests to see in the dark.
The three fairies from Sleeping Beauty, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, have also received new illuminated wands, and Tinkerbell’s wand on the last float has received the same upgrade.
Projections Sleeping Beauty Castle:
The projections on Sleeping Beauty Castle have been updated this year for the show stop of Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade on Central Plaza (second performance).
Festive Surprises Mini-Shows
The Festive Surprises mini-shows are also back starting November 15, 2025. Featuring the same cast from the parade, these shows take place once a day in Disneyland Park and are a great way to enjoy a little extra Christmas magic.
