Review of Star Wars Jedi Training Academy in Disneyland Paris
This is an article that seemed to be doomed from the start, but I’m finally here, unlike the notes I took whilst watching the video, which seem lost forever. It was over a year ago in May 2014 that rumours of the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy began to surface, and after the press preview in May this year, it finally opened to the public on July 11th, in Videopolis, on the stage where The Lion King used to be.

Disneyland Paris Pins for July 2015 – Star Wars, Stitch, Squares and Nightmare Before Christmas?
To say it’s an interesting set of pin releases in Disneyland Paris for July 2015 would be somewhat of an understatement, so take a look and then we’ll chat.

Relais Spa Chessy Val d’Europe Aparthotel (Near Disneyland Paris) – Premium Double Room Review
On my recent trip to Disneyland Paris I was booked into Hotel New York on the Saturday night for the Frozen Summer Fun press weekend, but wanted to be there first thing in the morning so as not to miss anything. This meant a night in Val d’Europe and a chance to try out a different hotel. I actually looked at the Hipark Serris-Val d’Europe where I stayed in December 2013, but I was drawn to the Relais Spa by the promise of a large double bed in their Premium Double…
