Disneyland Paris Christmas 2013: Christmas Cavalcade
Going into this year’s Christmas Cavalcade I was under the impression it would be bigger, and that the music had changed. When I was in Disneyland Paris watching it on Saturday 9th November, it felt bigger and the music did seem different. It’s only on coming back and studying both versions that I’ve realised that the music is basically the same, just in a different order and maybe more instrumental breaks in the 2012 version, and there are the same number of floats. So why does it feel so different? Before…

Disneyland Paris Christmas 2013: Disney Dreams! of Christmas
I was lucky enough to this past weekend be invited over to Disneyland Paris, to experience Disney’s Enchanted Christmas for the 2013 season. There is so much to talk about but I know that Disney Dreams! of Christmas is at the forefront of everyone’s minds at the moment, at least in the Disneyland Paris community anyway. So we’ll get to the Cavalcade, the new parade float, the interviews, the tree and even the wine. But first, let us talk about the show, for which there was possibly more anticipation than even…

Magical Memorabilia: Disneyland Paris Menus
Over the years I’ve collected boxes full of mementos from Disneyland Paris. Some I have acquired from the parks myself, some from eBay, and I’ve been lucky enough to have people send me stuff from time to time. I thought it was about time I shared my finds with all of you, and so Magical Memorabilia is born. Back in 2006 some friends of mine visited Disneyland Paris and among the stash of Disneyland Paris items they sent me were three menus. There’s the kid’s menus from Manhattan Restaurant in the…

Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: I’m All Lit Up
Attention to detail – that’s one of things you’ll hear myself and other fans of Disneyland Paris use to describe why we love the resort so much. The lights and lamps around the Disneyland Paris have always fascinated me somewhat. There’s a huge variety, and almost every one is impeccably detailed and themed to the area in which it sits. If the area is old then they’ll make it look worn, if the attraction is untouched and scary, they’ll add cobwebs, and so on. It was on a trip 2 years…

Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Mickey’s Halloween Celebration
One of the best things about running Dedicated to DLP is that I have met lots of great people and made lots of friends. One of those is Thomas Peeters, who is an incredibly talented and creative person, which you can see for yourself on his website. He’s also the only other person I’ve known to do an impression of Stitch, in public. Thomas is lucky enough to visit Disneyland Paris more regularly than I, and for me the luck comes from his generosity in allowing me to use his photos…

Disneyland Paris Rewind: Chicken Little in Walt Disney Studios & Cinemagique Film Preview
So yesterday I posted a photo of Chicken Little from the 2007 Halloween Cavalcade in Disneyland Paris on Twitter and Facebook. In fact here is that very photo below. By coincidence PhotosMagiques wrote a Throwback Thursday post about Chicken Little in Walt Disney Studios 4 weeks ago. I doubt Chicken Little has been given so much attention in years. It brought back memories from when I visited Disneyland Paris in December 2005 and saw the Chicken Little display and character meet and greet for myself. So that was my experience with…
