If there’s one Facebook page you really need to “Like” as anticipation grows for the
20th Anniversary and
Disney Dreams! (besides
our own of course), then it’s the
Steve Davison Fan Page. Because this isn’t just any page dedicated to the Disneyland entertainment master and producer of Disneyland Paris’ new nighttime spectacular, no. It’s Steve himself who provides the updates, which in the past have included rare glimpses into the production of
World of Color as well as
Tokyo DisneySea‘s
stunningly re-imagined version of the classic
Fantasmic!. Over recent months and weeks, Steve has begun dropping tantalising morsels of information about this, his very first original project for Disneyland Paris, culminating in an attention-grabbing
status update just over a week ago which simply began
“DISNEY DREAMS! DISNEY DREAMS! DISNEY DREAMS!“.
This was Steve announcing his final departure to Disneyland Paris, where he’ll presumably be based for the whole month to prepare
every element of the new park finale for its
grand premiere.
“Here I come. Off to program the show for Paris Disneyland. All the pieces look amazing thus far! Now it’s the task of painting them all together into one beautiful, exciting and moving spectacular!”
Since arriving in Marne-la-Vallée, Steve has shared three further updates; first revealing that the
Disney Dreams! fountains rose out of the moat for the very first time exactly a week ago, on
February 28th:
“Just saw a bunch of water rising up from out of the moat! Now that’s a good thing! Fun stuff!” And on
1st March, that the unpredictable Marne-la-Vallée fog was causing problems for the team:
“It is one “foggy” programming night here is Paris. Not getting a lot done. We can’t see a thing. I feel like Santa at the end of Rodolph! Except I don’t have a reindeer with a bright red nose to cut through the fog. But the 10K searchlights come close!”
The testing and programming is taking place after park hours and running right through the night, apparently as late at 6am. Steve himself followed up his first update from Paris with the confirmation:
“And yes it’s really 3:30am here!” Even a programmer of Dreams deserves a night off, though, as Steve posted
Saturday:
“We have a night off tonight. It’s crazy working nights.” But that doesn’t mean the team were apart for too long, as he later revealed a trip out to the nearby town of Melun, south-east of Paris:
“Oh no. We’re in Melun having Fondue with Team Dreams!”
Currently hovering around 987 likes, let’s see if his new quotient of Disneyland Paris fans from
DLRP Today.com can boost numbers on the
Steve Davison Fan Page above 1000, shall we?
