Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has a rich legacy of storytelling that drives us to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation to deliver the best guest experience. We’re proud to share that this week we were honored with three prestigious awards from two prominent industry organizations.
The Themed Entertainment Association awarded the Paint the Night Parade at Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Park in California with the Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement—Parade Spectacular. These awards seek to acknowledge outstanding achievements in the themed entertainment industry and the creative talent behind each attraction or experience. Paint the Night honors Disney’s original electrical parade and reimagines it with state-of-the-art touches like innovative floats, dazzling special effects, vibrant costumes and unforgettable music—not to mention the glow of 1.5 million LED lights.
Paint the Night also received an award from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) in their 2015 Brass Ring Awards for Live Entertainment Excellent in Best Multimedia Spectacular. The Brass Ring Awards honor those who exemplify the importance of live entertainment in the attractions industry. Additionally, IAAPA recognized Tokyo DisneySea Park’s King Triton’s Concert in the category of “Best Overall Production: $1 Million or more.” With its sensational special effects, dynamic performances and breathtaking music, King Triton’s Concert brings the story of The Little Mermaid to life.At Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, we’re always imagining ways to surprise and delight our guests year after year, and we’re honored to be recognized with these awards.
