Fantillusion at Disneyland Paris
Page 3 of 7

On the debut of Disney’s Light Magic in 1997, Disneyland coined the phrase “streetacular�?. A similar description would best suit Disney’s Fantillusion. The parade unfolds as three distinct Acts. Tinkerbell (no longer on roller-skates due to the cobbled Main Street U.S.A.) and Mickey herald the arrival of the parade, as they welcome guests to the ball. The appearance of Mickey under a rainbow of colour and dressed in a lighted suit, highlights the importance of the “Gift of Light�? to the preceedings. Immediately in their wake, an enchanted garden populated by fairies, butterflies, dragonflies and fanciful creatures. At the first show mode, the Enchanted Garden Carrousel float pauses to part its dark curtains, revealing Goofy and Pluto. In the original version, there were several Garden floats, revealing a whole host of classic Disney characters. However, there is no room for Donald, Daisy, Chip and Dale in the Paris incarnation.
