Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland was a nighttime spectacular at Tokyo Disneyland that premiered on July 10, 2018, alongside Dreaming Up!, Let's Party Gras, and Hello, New York! as part of the 35th anniversary of Tokyo Disney Resort.[1] The show was produced by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, under Lead Creative Executive of Parades and Spectaculars Steve Davison.
Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland incorporates fireworks, water cannons, flamethrowers, projection mapping, lasers, searchlights, tree lighting, and many more to depict scenes from some of Tokyo Disneyland's most famous rides and Disney films.[2] It was created as a homage to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney parks worldwide, its lands, and its attractions, past and present.[3] It won the Most Creative Multimedia Spectacular award from the IAAPA association at the 2018 Brass Ring awards.[4]
Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland features one of largest multimedia displays of any Disney theme park around the world, much similar in scale to Disneyland Forever. They utilize approximately 88 high-powered searchlights (including moat lights and turrets lights) that illuminate sky across the park, two projectors on the castle and its turrets, 87 water fountains, three lasers both in the castle and its turrets, six small flamethrowers, and new firework launch site, as well as synchronized popcorn lighting around the hub and new colorful tree lighting across the Central Plaza and Cinderella Castle that lighted up during the show. They also combined all elements that Disney has used in nighttime spectaculars at its other parks around the world.[5]
“Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland” features a wide array of lighting fixtures located around the park to help enchanted the show. There are two sets of 25 spotlights, each located above the two show buildings in Fantasyland. The first set is located above the show building for “Snow White’s Adventures” and “Peter Pan’s Flight”. The second set is located above the show building housing “Harmony Faire”, “Mickey’s Philharmagic”, and “Pinocchio’s Daring Adventure”. There are also an estimated 6 sets of spotlights located around the park’s central hub. The show also includes the use of lasers. There are 5 lasers in total: 3 located in the castle, and 2 more located on the two turrets superset from the castle. Also present are projectors, 6 of them. 2 are located above the buildings of “The Diamond Horseshoes”, another 2 are located above the “Tomorrowland Terrace”, and the last two are located beside each side of the castle, on the ground, disguised by foliage. The last two are used to project onto the water screens.
“Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland” includes the use of water features such as water screens and fountains. There are 40–50 fixed water jets, 25 moving water jets, 4 sets of 3 geyser jets, and two water screens. Like all other Disney Parks that uses water fountains for their shows, it recycles water from the castle moat.
“Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland” also enhances the experience with the use of pyrotechnics, such as flamethrowers and fireworks. The show features 4 different launch sites for fireworks. The first launch site located above the show building for “Snow White’s Adventures” and “Peter Pan’s Flight”. The second launch site is located above the show building housing “Harmony Faire”, “Mickey’s Philharmagic”, and “Pinocchio’s Daring Adventure”. The third site is split into several different sites, all located on the roofs of the castle. The last site is located in front of the castle, behind the main ramps leading to the castle. There are also a total of 8 flamethrowers present during the show. The first 6 flamethrowers are located in front of the castle, 3 flanking each side of the bridge, and two large scale flamethrowers located above the 2 non-connecting turrets in front of the castle.[6]
Much like Disneyland's fireworks spectacular Remember... Dreams Come True and World of Color: Celebrate! at Disney California Adventure, Celebrate! takes park guests on “an unforgettable journey around the Kingdom of Dreams and Magic”.[7] With Mickey Mouse as conductor, guests will find themselves in an “amazing musical fantasy”[8] as the park's lands come to life.
Soundtrack elements from Remember... and other Disney Parks nighttime spectaculars were rescored for the show. It also features a theme song rewritten from “Let the Memories Begin” – the theme song from former nighttime show The Magic, the Memories and You (the original song was composed by Christopher McGovern) – and was performed by former Disneyland cast member, stage actress and singer Eden Espinosa.
Same as previous projection show Once Upon a Time, to avoid overcrowding problems, the show features lottery ticket systems for special viewing areas.
