Disneyland Paris has set a new Guinness World Records title with a dazzling aerial display during Bastille Day celebrations on July 14th. An astonishing 1,571 drones lit up the night sky, forming a giant tricolor Mickey Mouse head over Sleeping Beauty Castle. This mesmerizing 12-minute spectacle combined pyrotechnics, lights, and intricate drone choreography, creating an unforgettable experience for guests.
The display showcased five creative scenes representing French culture, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral’s rose window, and beloved Disney stories like “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ratatouille.” The event was the result of months of hard work by Disneyland Paris Entertainment teams and Dronisos, Europe’s leading drone show technology provider.
“We are thrilled and proud to have set this Guinness World Records title,” said Ben Spalding, Entertainment Producer at Disneyland Paris. “This achievement underscores our commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences to our guests,” added Matthieu Robin, Show Director to Entertainment Creative Lead at Disneyland Paris.
Although the Bastille Day fireworks were a one-night-only event, Disneyland Paris continues to enchant guests with the Disney Electrical Sky Parade. Introduced in January 2024, this nighttime parade features over 500 drones, synchronized with lasers, video projections, lights, and fountains, all set against the backdrop of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The parade includes illuminated floats representing icons like Mickey Mouse, Elliott the dragon from “Pete’s Dragon,” and Cinderella’s carriage, accompanied by a specially remixed electro-synthetic soundtrack.
This summer and fall, Disneyland Paris invites guests to experience the magic of the Disney Electrical Sky Parade, a nightly event that adds to the wonder of a visit to the park.
