Disneyland Paris debuted its spectacular night-time show, Disney Dreams, in time for park's 20th anniversary celebrations in 2012. The show is centered on Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is lit up in a variety of colours during performances. From 2017 the show was updated and re-named Disney Illuminations.

Disney Illuminations borrows a number of elements from the popular Fantasmic! and World of Color shows at Disney's US theme parks. A combination of projections, laser effects and powerful water fountains are used to create the visual effects in the show, which runs for more than 20 minutes.

Disney Illuminations features scenes and music from classic Disney movies including "Peter Pan", "Frozen", "Beauty and the Beast", "Ratatouille", "Aladdin", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "Mary Poppins", "The Jungle Book", "Tangled" and Star Wars
