Festival of Pirates and Princesses Begins at Disneyland Paris

Mischief and magic is afoot at Disneyland Paris! As part of the 25th Anniversary celebration, guests can now create their very own adventure story and participate in an exciting show unlike anything before at the resort.

It all starts with "Disney Pirate or Princess: Make Your Choice!" This interactive show starts at opposite ends of the park – a blossoming, colorful Disney Princesses float journeys through Fantasyland while a huge galleon boarded by scallywags sails down Main Street, U.S.A., accompanied by an acrobatic crew of pirates.

Both worlds come together at Central Plaza in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle for the finale. Guests are then invited to choose a side and take part in one of two routines alongside their favorite Disney characters, all to the same playful melody for one grand ending. The entire show takes place several times a day, so guests can switch sides for a different experience later in their visit.

During the Festival of Pirates and Princesses, guests will now see sequences from Pirates of the Caribbean during the new Disney Illuminations show and may even spot Jack Sparrow in Adventureland with his pirate crew. Pirates and princesses alike can take part in face painting or even create an entirely new look with transformations in Adventureland and Fantasyland, not to mention meeting their favorite pirate or princess (or both!).

There's so much to do and see at Disneyland Paris during the 25th Anniversary celebration, and Festival of Pirates and Princesses is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more on the new Marvel Summer of Super Heroes starting June 10.
