    Disneyland Paris News: Concept Art For New Sugar & Spice Christmas Cavalcade Float

    Back in August when news of the 2014 Christmas Season in Disneyland Paris was first leaked, we were told of a new float being added to the Christmas Cavalcade, called Sugar and Spice. We heard about Chip and Dale, plus ginger bread men with Mickey ears. Well now we can see the concept art for that float, as posted by @DisneylandBerry on Twitter just moments ago. From this it looks very much like gingerbread men will not only adorn the float as display items, but we will see a gingerbread man…

    Disneyland Paris is Ready for Halloween with Maleficent, Pumpkins & Nightmare Before Christmas

    Tomorrow, October 1st, sees the launch of the Halloween season in Disneyland Paris, and thanks to @InsideDLParis we can see how those final preparations look. As ever, Main Street Station looks fantastic, with a combination of pumpkins, ghosts and silhouette characters, welcoming guests to a very well themed Main Street, U.S.A. Very little has changed from last year, except the placement of some of the pumpkins on the railing at the top. Maleficent’s Court is one of the most intriguing parts of the new Halloween season, and now we see the…

    Disneyland Paris – Please Keep Lightning McQueen Out As A Photo Meet

    This weekend, and apparently only for this weekend (it’s the Halloween press weekend), Lightning McQueen is out for people to have their photo taken with. Now this is something I’ve wanted to see for years, and have spoken about it many times on this website and on the podcast too. It makes so much sense, for so many reasons: 1) It requires no ‘friends with’ Cast Member to play the part. In fact it could be argued that it wouldn’t need any Cast Member involvement at all, and they just let…
