The Disney Music Festival has officially kicked off at Disneyland Paris Resort. This first-ever event invites Disney Park guests to experience 12 unique live performances that celebrate the music of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar. These performances will take place across several iconic lands in Disneyland Park, including Discoveryland, Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Main Street, U.S.A.
Running through September 7, 2025, the Disney Music Festival coincides with World Music Day (Fête de la Musique) on June 21, an annual French holiday. The festival offers four live concerts and eight “musical encounters” with Disney and Pixar characters throughout the day. These musical moments cover various genres, including pop, classical, rock, folk, and electronic music.
Main Street, U.S.A. hosts the most performances, with Mickey Mouse dressed in an all-new conductor outfit leading the “Welcome to Disney Music Festival” and “Mickey’s Goodnight” events. Five times daily, Minnie Mouse conducts “Minnie’s Marching Band” in renditions of iconic Disney songs like “Into the Unknown” and “Hakuna Matata” performed by a talented group of musicians.
In Central Plaza in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, “Goofy’s Imaginary Orchestra” brings a whimsical 15-minute show featuring a “crazy and fun musical moment” with a unique orchestra, playing up to eight times daily. Meanwhile, Mary Poppins and Bert join a six-person band for “Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band,” a performance offered six times daily.
In Discoveryland, Chip and Dale host an “energetic and immersive” performance called the “Disney Music Hits Concert” at Videopolis Theater. This 30-minute concert includes songs such as “Friend Like Me” and “Try Everything,” with a six-piece band performing four times daily. Also in Discoveryland, guests can meet Stitch in an Elvis costume while enjoying classic rock and roll tunes in Arcade Bêta. This experience requires registration through the Disneyland Paris app’s Virtual Queue, available only to guests inside Disneyland Park.
