    Disneyland Paris Restaurant Review: Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost

    Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost over in Adventureland is one of the few restaurants that I’ve never actually been to in Disneyland Paris. Partly because it’s kind of out of the way of the route I usually take, and also because it always used to be closed whenever I’d check. Well rejoice, because not only was it open on our last trip, but thanks to my wife mentioning it, we actually remembered to go there, and on our very first day. Colonel Hathi is an elephant from The Jungle Book, which I…

    From Fear to Obsession – How Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Paris Changed Me

    Back in November 2012 I wrote an article titled I Finally Rode Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Paris, in which I described the first time and only time I’d been on Big Thunder Mountain before our trip last week. Reading back and the line I distinctly remember actually smiling and dare I say, almost enjoying some of the exhilarating journey baffles me somewhat. Either that was bravado on my part or that feeling disappeared pretty fast, because that’s news to me almost 5 years on! I also said that I’d ride…

    Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Review: Pirates of the Caribbean – Refurbished and Improved

    I did it, I managed to avoid all spoilers for what changes had been made to Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland Paris before seeing it with my own eyes. Well, I knew Captain Jack would be in there somewhere as that has been a not so secret plan for some years now. But that aside, staying away from social media and not opening emails titled Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens July 24th from Disneyland Paris communications was certainly the way to go! It was just 6 days ago that I…

    The Art of Marvel Hotel Confirmed for Disneyland Paris at D23 – There Are No Negatives, It’s All Good

    Each year there is a huge fan event called D23, usually in the States, where Disney announce a lot of the big plans they have for the huge variety of entertainment offerings they now produce. It’s fair to say that Disneyland Paris never gets much of a look in, due to there not being big things to talk about every year and the relative apathy of the crowds in attednace to Disneyland Paris itself. Well this year was different, and while we didn’t get a big new attratcion or land announcement,…

    Disneyland Paris Adding Surprise Rare Characters…Every Tuesday!

    There were some murmurings yesterday that something character related was happening today, and before I get in to what happened, I’d just like to once again express my desire for Disneyland Paris themselves to break any and all news, and it not come by the way of Chinese whispers between Cast Members and friends. And after I wrote that previous statement, an email plopped into my inbox from Disneyland Paris. Still, would rather we got an announcement before, not after the event. Here’s the official line: Today, you might have noticed…
