    First Look Inside Disney Adventure World: Our Magical Preview of Arendelle and Beyond

    By Team D2DLP There are some days in a Disney fan’s life that feel truly momentous. For us at D2DLP, March 20, 2026, was exactly that kind of day. Thanks to a wonderful invitation from our friends at Insidears, team member Vanessa had the incredible opportunity to attend a special preview of Disney Adventure World—the stunning transformation of what was once Walt Disney Studios Park—just days before its official March 29 opening. Now, if you’ve been following along with our podcast, you’ll know that our full team is usually in attendance…

    235: World of Frozen Preview Trip Report (Snowflower Festival Edition)

    There are episodes where we try to cram in a North Mountain of listener questions, and then there are episodes where we just hand the mic to Vanessa and let her run wild. This is very much the latter. Vanessa is back from a secret mission—okay, not secret, but definitely exclusive—to the brand‑new World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World. She walked the land before the public gets to, touched all the things she promised she’d touch, and came back with opinions. Strong ones. And Beth, being the supportive co‑host she…

    234: DLP Strategy Session: Listener Mail Edition

    This week on the Dedicated to DLP Podcast, Vanessa is back! She has returned from braving her own personal Catastrophe Canyon, and Beth could not be more relieved to have her co-host safely in the chair, with a large box of Kleenxes nearby. Yes, Vanessa is pretty unwell, but she is being brave and the D2DLP duo is ready to do what they do best: chat about DLP and discuss letters from their favorite people—the D2DLP listeners! There were big plans to tackle five letters, but we were having so much…

You know him as the brilliant photographer behind Capturing Disney Parks, a fellow member of the Insidears family, and the co-host of the Air Magique podcast. He joins us for a conversation we have been wanting to have for a very long time. Niels knows Disneyland Paris like the back of his hand. But he has also spent time at Walt Disney World, and even better, he has a trip to Florida on the horizon. We thought…

    Location check: Beth is currently recording from a frozen fortress, channeling her inner Elsa.

    Review: ‘Disneyland Handcrafted’ on Disney+ Is a Revelatory Look at the Park’s Birth

    On January 22, 2026, a long-awaited documentary debuted that fundamentally changed how we see the most iconic theme park on Earth. It’s called “Disneyland Handcrafted,” and it’s available on Disney+ and, in a commendable move, free for everyone on YouTube. Directed by Leslie Iwerks—granddaughter of animation legend Ub Iwerks—this film is not another corporate history. It is an almost  archaeological dig into the sweat, dirt, and sheer audacity required to build something no one had ever seen before- a modern theme park. The film’s genius is in what it leaves out. No modern…
