But now, you can bring the spectacular of one of Disney's most incredible nighttime shows into your living rooms, as they will be live-streaming Disneyland Paris' incredible Illuminations show later today.

Disney described their Illuminations show as a "Nighttime Spectacular You’ll Never Forget", writing on their website:

"As if by magic, the parapets and turrets of Sleeping Beauty Castle appear to move as mind-blowing special effects bring the wonder of Disney to life before your very eyes. Prepare to hold your breath and ‘ahhhh’ when fireworks fizz through the night’s sky, showering their clusters of colors over Sleeping Beauty Castle. Flames and water work in perfect harmony to wow your senses with unexpected excellence. Lasers slice through the mesmerizing mist.

"And all this time, Mickey is having a blast, leading you on a journey through impressive projections of famous Disney tales, old and new."

Shiver with excitement when Queen Elsa introduces a flurry of Frozen fun, live a tale as old as time with the new Beauty and the Beast, let out your proudest Lion King roar, and for the first time ever, see Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Little Mermaid in all their glory on Sleeping Beauty Castle."
