Paris Disneyland - the Spectacular Fireworks and Sound & Music Show

Finally the evening was in sight and all tourists and visitors were asked to leave for an d reach Le Château de la BELLE au Bois Dormant - "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" - the venue for the spectacular Firework and Sound & Music show that was to rob us of our awe and leave lasting memories of it for the years to come.

We too joined the crowd and started moving towards the Le Château de la BELLE au Bois Dormant - "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" which was visible from everywhere one was. While moving towards the venue, I could spot a commercial airliner leaving behind a trail of fumes just overhead the castle - and I froze the moment as can be seen in photos above and below.

And then slowly and gradually light started to illuminate the Sleeping Beauty's castle and brought it to light from its sleeping silhouette. 

From here on, it was an awe inspiring show of lights and fireworks - something that was too amazing and spectacular. i wish I could explain it in words!!

The music was incredible - the many stories of all Disney characters following and the awesome firework illuminating the sky again and again. We were all spell bound!!

These sudden bursts of fire (as seen above) generated so much of heat that one could feel it even while standing almost 500 metres away from the castle. But in the cold evening, these provided much needed warmth and comfort.

Then by and by, the lights faded away and the fireworks stopped. The almost hour long show came to end end amidst claps and happy shouts of the the onlookers specially the children. The castle once again shrouded into darkness and we left the venue with life time memories of this incredible show - or should I say the greatest show on the earth (remember the movie?)

Everyone started to leave and so did we - but not before getting us photographed as the last souvenirs and reminders of our visit to Paris Disneyland.

Just before laving, my sons had the last photos with the huge Mickey Mouse statue as can be seen in the following photos:

But before I close and wrap up my Paris Disneyland chapter, watch herein under a video shot by me (also shared on YouTube) which is part of the hour long fire and sound show - something that is as fresh in my memory as it was when I was watching this spectacular show. Although the video cannot replicate the actual show when seen live, but one can imagine how would it look like when being there in Paris Disneyland. Watch the video now:

Paris Disneyland - the rest of the day till the incredible night fireworks show

After watching the spectacular star parade with Mickey Mouse disappearing away, everyone dispersed to explore what remained of the Disneyland and so did we. However, from here on, me and my wife got separated from our sons as they wanted to explore the rides and the adventurous parts of the park, while we the couple settled for much easier part for my sciatica did not allow me to walk any further from the venue for the evening fireworks and sound & light show.

We also took two elderly-friendly rides: one of the elephant and the other in the cups. In the photos above and below my wife is seen enjoying the park from the elephant ride.

This was the part of the American landscape that we got a glimpse of while taking a leisurely stroll - my sons got a closer look while they were away.

My sons were more interested in rides that required youth stamina to bear the stress and were eagerly exploring their way towards the rides from where the cries of the riders out of fun and fear were audible from much farther distance.

By the time my sons got back, it was already evening and all avenues were being closed and tourists and visitors were directed artfully to the venue of the fireworks and sound&light show. The venue was Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant - "Sleeping Beauty's Castle".

We were rather late as the arena was already full, though mu wife was lucky to find a bench to sit as the waiting period was more than an hour. For me and my sons, the concrete pavement was our sit-on place.

As the evening fell and the darkness set-in, the fireworks and the sound&light commenced. While the day tour was memorable, but the last segment of the day was so incredible, absorbing and full of aesthetics that I would cherish its memories forever.

I will share its incredible coverage in my next posts along with a compiled video that I have also shared on YouTube.
