Disneyland Paris Pulls Out the Stops for 25th Anniversary on April 12th, 2017 – Overview with Photos & Video, Including Rare Characters

Next up is the cavalcade, I photographed it both times to get more character photos. The cavalcade featured the same characters and performers as the morning show.

Here is our video of one of the Grand Celebration Cavalcade parades! And then check out all the photos below it.

And at the end of the night was the “Kiss Goodnight”, with the twelve main characters saying goodnight for a half hour with the song “Everyday’s a Celebration” playing in a much slower tempo than earlier in the day. It’s a terrific song, fast or slow.

Here is our video of the “Kiss Goodnight”!
