Disneyland Paris welcomes Princess Tiana to Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade
Fun Facts about Princess Tiana in the parade
The dress Princess Tiana wears in Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade was designed exclusively for the occasion. The fun facts behind Princess Tiana’s dress:
- It takes more than 80 hours to make one dress
- 20 m of crystal fabric are used
- 80 m of golden thread are woven through the dress, involving more than 100 hours of embroidery work
- More than 200 m of iridescent thread shimmer in the 20 m of brocade used
- For that extra sparkle, there are 80 glistening rhinestones on each dress
- More than 100 beads and rhinestones adorn Tiana’s magical tiara
Ratatouille is the new star of Disney’s Stars ’n’ Cars parade in Walt Disney Studios
Fun Facts about the parade:
- The parade happens once a day, and includes a three-part cavalcade of cars, happening and character meet ‘n’ greet
- Adding Ratatouille to the parade involves an additional 1 minute and 40 seconds of music. The Ratatouille car will be accompanied by a medley from Offenbach’s La Vie Parisienne
- The car includes props, costumes, chef hats and even aprons for the driver-dancers!
Fun Facts about the car:
- It travelled for 19 days by boat to reach the port of Le Havre, before it was shipped by freight container to Marne la Vallée
- The car was originally a 1950 Studebaker and it has been fully customised at Disneyland Paris to include special effects and animated kitchen props from the world of Remy and Emile
- It is powered by electric battery and can drive for 90 minutes on a single charge!
- Take a close look at the tyres as the parade rolls by, as they are not real… they are specially-constructed rubber-covered foam rings, which will never get a puncture!
- The car boasts the film’s famous Ratatouille on its bonnet and a moving pile of pots and pans that gives the impression they are all going to come crashing down!
