    Disneyland Paris Pins for October 2014 – Halloween & Villains

    With all the talk of Halloween in Disneyland Paris, it should come as no surprise that is the over-riding theme for October’s pin releases. Thanks to Jean-Louis for uploading the official poster. Pop Art Villain Pins This is a great looking series of 6 pins, featuring Cruella, Ursula, Dr Facilier, Maleficent, Evil Queen and Captain Hook. The pop art style is a nice change from the usual designs and it even looks like parts of the characters extend outside the normal rectangle frame of the pin. At €6,99 each that’s pretty…

    Disneyland Paris News: Halloween 2014 in Disney Village

    It looks like the Halloween season in Disneyland Paris is going to go further than Disneyland Park and out into Disney Village too.

    Is runDisney Finally Coming to Disneyland Paris?

    It was in March last year that I wrote about runDisney coming to Disneyland Paris, based on this exert from a runDisney survey: runDisney is considering hosting a Half Marathon event in Paris, France in the Fall of 2014 (between late September and early November). The Disneyland® Paris Half Marathon race course would wind through both Disneyland Paris theme parks and Disney® Village, with the last 8–9 miles running through the countryside surrounding the Disneyland Paris parks. Keeping your other planned trips in mind, if this event was offered, how likely…

    Disneyland Paris Launches New Digital Magazine

    Some of you may have seen links floating around social media in the past week or two, but now Disneyland Paris themselves have started tweeting links so I think it’s about time we talked about Disneyland Paris News – The Company’s Digital Magazine. I and many others have been wondering about the possibility of a Disneyland Paris blog for some time now, as it is rarely featured on the US-centric Disney Parks Blog. While Disneyland Paris News isn’t strictly a blog, it could be the genesis of what will eventually become…

    Disneyland Paris Halloween 2014: Sunflower Mickey Replaces Pumpkin Mickey

    Just yesterday I talked in this article about how the giant pumpkin Mickey which graced the Castle Stage last year, wasn’t there for the 2014 season. Well the Halloween decorating fairies were out last night, and thanks to InsideDLParis for taking the photo, this is what we now have instead: That’s quite a different visual from last year’s pumpkin Mickey, as seen in this photo from OOPARC: Apparently space issues are the reason it has changed, and while some have challenged the place of sunflowers in Autumn, they do grow grow…

    Disneyland Paris Halloween 2014: There’s A Dragon In The Bushes

    You have probably realised this already, but when we talked about the bramble set on the latest episode of the podcast, the one that will be a part of Maleficent’s Court, we failed to see one very obvious thing. You see, both Mark and I pointed out that there were a bunch of villains in the artwork, but no Maleficent, which seemed odd for something called Maleficent’s Court. Now let me post that artwork again. You see it? The reason there is no Maleficent character present is because she is already…
