    Disneyland Paris Rumour: Spider-Man Meet & Greet Photo Location Coming to Walt Disney Studios

    Our friends over at DLRP Express this morning posted news of a rumour that Marvel superhero Spider-Man will have his own photo location in Walt Disney Studios from mid March until mid July. It will be in place of the old Annual Passport office next to the Blockbuster Cafe, which currently has some Iron Man themimg. Great news! That was my first impression on hearing this and is still my opinion now. Marvel is a huge brand across the world and the recent acquisition of its characters by The Walt Disney…

    Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Read The Sign

    There are many amazing sights in Disneyland Paris, from wonderful scenery to the stunning Castle, from incredible attractions to colourful characters.

We now know, and thanks to DLRPToday and Salon Mickey for picking up on this, that the characters will be relocated to Disneyland Park during Extra Magic Hours. That means people who stay in on site hotels or those…

When I visited in October 2007 the show was located in front of the fences that surrounded the Tower of Terror construction site, opposite CinéMagique. Full of song and dance, High School Musical On Tour was a very energetic show that would have crowds of people trying to get a…

    New Disneyland Paris Concept Artwork for Ratatouille and LEGO Store

    This past Wednesday was the AGM for Disneyland Paris where we had heard rumours that we might get the opening date announcement for Ratatouille: The Ride. Though that never came to fruition we did get a wonderful piece of concept artwork which helps us to visualise how La Place de Rémy will look. On the last episode of the podcast Mark and I talked about a weenie, and how Walt Disney Studios was lacking them. That big Gusteau’s sign is clearly the weenie for the new Ratatouille mini-land, and should be…
