Disney Cascade of Lights

Nighttime spectacular with drones over Adventure Bay

Disney Cascade of Lights transforms Adventure Bay after dark into a stage full of emotion, colour and moving Disney moments. The new evening show at Disney Adventure World is designed to be the grand finale to your day at the park – an experience that unfolds around the entire lake and captivates you from every vantage point.

As soon as the lights on the shore go out, the nightly spectacle begins. What follows is an interplay of water, light, music, and innovative technology unlike anything Disneyland Paris has ever seen. The show tells of courage, determination and the big and small heroic stories that have shaped Disney for generations. You can expect sequences from Mulan, Hercules, Moana, Zootopia, Up and the Marvel Universe – embedded in a powerful new score, recorded with a 90-piece orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.

The highlight is a world premiere: a choreographed interplay of 379 drones in the sky and completely new water drones dancing directly on the surface of Adventure Bay. Together with projections, water fountains, special effects and pyrotechnics, the result is a show that raises the bar for evening entertainment at Disneyland Paris.

The only drawback remains: you have to make a decision. Will you watch Disney Cascade of Lights at Disney Adventure World, or let yourself be enchanted by Disney Tales of Magic at Disneyland Park?

What can you expect at Disney Cascade of Lights?

Disney Cascade of Lights is the spectacular grand finale at Disney Adventure World, offering a breathtaking 360-degree show around Adventure Bay.

The show's water, light, projections, and pyrotechnics create a lively atmosphere that fills the water, shore, and sky with wonder.

A world first makes this evening spectacle particularly fascinating: Disney Cascade of Lights uses hundreds of drones in the sky, along with entirely new water drones developed especially for this show. Together, they create patterns, formations and movements that interweave across the entire Adventure Bay. This effect can only be seen here.

The show is accompanied by an epic soundtrack performed by a 90-piece orchestra. Newly arranged Disney melodies blend with powerful musical moments, including a special version of How Far I'll Go from Moana and the new anthem We Can Be Heroes. The music enhances the emotional experience, making Disney Cascade of Lights a memorable and inspiring conclusion to your visit.
