Once Upon a Time＊

The projection mapping show "Once Upon a Time" held every night at Disneyland♡

The Story Unfolds on Cinderella Castle＊

At night, Cinderella Castle transforms into a giant page from a storybook, and the world of Disney fairy tales comes to life with beautiful visuals and heartwarming songs, creating a magical atmosphere in the night at Disneyland♡

Extremely Popular! A Show Only for a Limited Few to See.

Since its launch in 2014, "Once Upon a Time" has maintained its immense popularity. However, it’s not something you can see just anywhere like a parade.

The Odds of Winning the Lottery are 1 in 9!

Because it’s a projection mapping show, you can’t view it beautifully from behind or the sides of the castle. To see it perfectly from the front, you must win the lottery held at Tomorrowland Hall!

The average number of daily visitors is around 45,000, with only 2,000 seats available! Some people don’t participate in the lottery, so the chance of winning is said to be about 11%, meaning only one in nine people wins! It’s a miraculous seat♡
