Magical Nights: Tokyo Disneyland's Cinderella Castle Transforms with New Projection Show

TOKYO, Jan 30 (News On Japan) - Tokyo Disneyland has announced the introduction of a new nighttime entertainment experience, set to debut on September 20, 2024, against the backdrop of Cinderella Castle, featuring a castle projection that depicts Disney and Marvel characters chasing their dreams across the sky.

The approximately 20-minute performance will combine Disney's iconic music with vivid projections on Cinderella Castle, creating a sense of flight and dynamism as if guests are soaring through the sky alongside the characters. The show will be enriched with a dazzling array of lights and pyrotechnic effects that fill the night sky, providing an immersive experience for all who attend.

For the first time in Tokyo Disney Resort's entertainment history, characters from Marvel films will join those from Disney and Disney & Pixar movies in this performance, adding an exciting new dimension to the already magical lineup.

The yet-to-be-titled Castle Projection show will take place in the Castle Forecourt in front of Cinderella Castle. With a running time of around 20 minutes, the show is scheduled to be performed one to two times daily, offering guests multiple opportunities to witness this enchanting nighttime journey.
