There's an evil spell, with its sparkling lights... from the Earth to the Sky! A fantastic Fantillusion! (Fantillusion!...)"
Costumes
Like the floats, the costumes for the 160 performers sparkle and glow in ways never seen before. Truly unique costumes were created using 88 individual designs, 290 different fabrics, and 10 different light mediums including mini-lights and fiber optics. The costumes work together with the music, choreography, and lights to produce a fantastical, magical dream.Disneyland Paris Version

Show Facts
- Disney's Fantillusion has 12 floats, 400 000 light bulbs and 60 km of cabling.
- Everynight, up to 50 performers take part for this magical parade. So do, approximately, 20 Guest Flows and more than 25 guest controls.
- One show can use over 600 litres of dry ice for the “show modes” and 9 tonnes of batteries are used every evening... recharged for the next day.
- Computers onboard each float control the lighting display, effects and music. The only thing that is sent to the units is a signal to keep the music in time with the underliner (background track) played in the park.
- Each float has its own orchestration and variation on the main theme, with music from the appropriate film telling the story along with character voices.
