Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Newport Bay Club Renovations
I was all set with some completely different images for this week’s Photo Friday, but then Disneyland Paris posted some photos of the renovated Newport Bay Club rooms which took priority, starting off with the great aerial shot of the hotel. According to the official Disneyland Paris Twitter account, work on the hotel started earlier this month and is set to conclude in 2016. When in 2016 is not known, so the project could take anywhere from just over 2 years to almost 3. The bedrooms are the first thing to…

Disneyland Paris Pins for November 2013 – The New Year Is Coming
I’m incredibly late with this post, but with the Christmas weekend in Disneyland Paris and everything else going on, well it just never happened! But I’m here now, and mainly because the December pins are about to be announced and it’s been a monthly post for 3 years now – I don’t want any gaps!

Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Inside Merlin l’Enchanteur
You’d think by now I’d know, that when in Disneyland Paris, you should always take the time to look around at everything, and not just be content with the first thing your eyes are drawn to. I hold my hands up, I’m guilty of entering the Merlin l’Enchanteur shop inside Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant and being immediately drawn to whoever is crafting magical trinkets from glass. In the photo below it would appear it was Loic, who was molding and melting when I visited two weekends ago.…

Disneyland Paris Christmas 2013: Staying at Hotel New York
Before I stayed there last year, I’d never stayed in Hotel New York. In my many previous visits more often than not I stayed in Hotel Cheyenne, with a few stays in Hotel Santa Fe and a honeymoon at the Sequoia Lodge Hotel in December 2003. While I do think it could benefit from just a few more subtle Disney references, Hotel New York is nigh on the perfect place to stay when visiting Disneyland Paris. Those are strong words coming from someone who could quite happily have moved permanently to…

Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Christmas & Beyond with Kris Van de Sande
I’ve always been interested in photography and every now and then I take a photo that I’m really proud of. I’m lucky enough to have lots of friends in the Disneyland Paris community who take it to the next level, and produce some absolutely remarkable shots of the happiest place on Earth. This past week a few of us have discovered an amazing photographer by the name of Kris Van de Sande, and to say he takes good photos would be under-selling his ability to almost criminal levels. Kris was in…

Disneyland Paris Christmas 2013: The New Christmas Tree & Magical Christmas Wishes
When the Christmas season rolls around in Disneyland Paris we all look forward to seeing the Christmas Tree take its iconic place in Town Square. This year however was different, as we knew that a brand new tree was coming our way. At 24 metres high it was to be slightly taller than the previous tree, the same tree that was used in 1992 and every year since. Other than that we knew very little of what the new Christmas tree would offer. On Friday afternoon, when I first arrived in…
