St. Patrick's Day 2008

[Orbitron]

Hi everyone! Does somebody know if there's going to be something special going on for St. Patrick's Day at DLRP this year? If so, on what date will it be? We are planning to go in March for three days and it would be really bad to miss it!

I have found this http://www.dlrpmagic.com/calendar/entertainment-seasons/

It doesn't say much but it definately mentions St Patricks Day and that there will be fireworks.

Hope that helps.

My birthday is on St. Patricks Day but I've never managed to be in the park that day, will defiantely have to book a trip that coincides one year.

Thanks for the help everyone! Now I know a bit more about what is planned for the event. I'm a bit confused about the exact date, it is not mentioned anywhere on the website! Even though we don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day over here in Germany, I know that it always takes place on March 17th, but this year it seems to be on March 15th?! I've tried to contact DLRP, but they didn't get back to me!

I think they always hold the festival over the weekend so Saturday 15th will probably be the main event with the fireworks.
I think the Irish dancing and music in the park and the festival in the village runs over a couple of days though.

This is from an email I received from DLRP the other day:
"On March 17th, the 15th anniversary of Disneyland Resort Paris goes Irish, as the fun and folklore of St Patrick’s Day will meet the wonderful world of Disney with Mickey, Minnie and friends celebrating Irish style. There’ll be the St Patrick’s Day pre-parade down Main Street, USA, complete with a dusting of Disney magic, traditional Celtic music to dance along with and of course a dazzling display of Irish dancing. Be sure to save a few photos for the finale, as Sleeping Beauty Castle becomes a glow of green under dazzling bursts of fireworks."

We were there for it a couple of years ago and it was very enjoyable. There was even a band in the Village when the parks had closed, good atmosphere.

Hope this helps
