Disneyland Paris Reveals Mickey & Minnie Mouse Costumes For 25th Anniversary

Hi everyone!

We are looking forward to the kickoff of the Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary! I was there for the 10th in April 2002, and also was there during the 15th celebration in 2007. The anniversary celebration debuts on March 26th, 2017, April 12th is the official anniversary date. There is a lot of blue in the celebration, just as with the Disneyland Diamond Celebration. I added the original press release at the end of the photos, and one piece of concept art from Disney Stars on Parade, the new parade that is replacing Disney Magic on Parade.

The newer look of Mickey and Minnie just debuted at Disneyland Paris, it began in Shanghai and has been in WDW for months. I really like the blue costumes! We will have articles and plenty of videos to share in March and April.

Here is the concept art for the Frozen segment of the Disney Stars on Parade.

And this is the original press release from Disneyland Paris:

Every destination will offer unique surprises with journeys through the worlds of Jakku, Hoth, Tatooine, the Death Star and more!

This festive show will take place daily for all guests to enjoy. In addition, fans of the Disney Princesses will be able to witness some of their most beloved Princesses as they host their own sparkling show The Starlit Princess Waltz at Royal Castle Stage (Disneyland Park).

Finally, as night falls, there will be another spectacular new event: Disney Illuminations. This new show, with dazzling lights, projections and breath-taking special effects, will be conducted by Mickey Mouse onto Sleeping Beauty Castle (Disneyland Park). It will transport Guests to a location where the stories of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Frozen and the motion pictures of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean will come to life before guest’s astonished eyes.
