    Disneyland Paris News: Blue Lagoon to be Renamed Captain Jack’s – Is That A Bad Thing?

    Captain Jack’s – Le Restaurant des Pirates, to give it its full title. That’s the latest news that has been running amok today, after there has been conformation from Disneyland Paris themselves that when it reopens on July 24th that will indeed be its new name, following rumours of the name change earlier in the week. For the most part change in Disneyland Paris is met with derision, and by the same proportion of most, those changes are very quickly accepted when they go live in the Parks. There are exceptions…

    Top 10 Things To Look Forward to at Disneyland Paris this Summer

    10) Big Thunder Mountain This is a maybe at the moment, as my son isn’t sure he wants to ride it. For years he was too small, then when he grew tall enough the ride went down for refurbishment for a year. Now it’s back up, some of the time, the nerves have kicked in and when I last asked him he wasn’t keen. He’s a bit like me, in that my last and only ride on Big Thunder Mountain was back in 2012 and whilst I wouldn’t call the experience…

    The Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Grand Celebration – World Class, and a Look Into The Future?

    I couldn’t be at the official 25th anniversary of Disneyland Paris yesterday for a number of reasons, but thanks to some live streaming from Disneyland Paris themselves and some excellent coverage from fans in attendance, I managed to see a lot of what went on. It all started with the Grand Celebration of 25 Years show in the morning, that rumour had it would be big, and involve a lot of characters. Nothing could prepare us for what we saw, and while I didn’t get to soak up the atmosphere of…

    Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Review: Disney Illuminations

    I was a huge fan of Disney Dreams! when I watched with the live premiere (ahem) with the rest of the online community, and I was an even bigger fan when 6 weeks later I watched it with my own eyes, and ears, in Disneyland Paris. I’ve watched it many times since, through its various scene changes and seasonal variations and have been a fan throughout, some incarnations more than others. However, when Disney Illuminations was announced, I wasn’t sad that Disney Dreams! was ending, but more excited for what we…

    Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Review: Disney Stars on Parade

    We haven’t had a brand new parade in Disneyland Paris since the Once Upon A Dream Parade in 2007. Yes we had Disney’s Magic on Parade in 2012, but bar the song, it was more of an iterative change than a new parade. So getting a brand new parade, with all new floats and all new music was a big thing, and with that came much expectation. We had some idea of what to expect from the Disneyland Paris My Sparking 25th, which saw vloggers go backstage as the floats were…

    A Closer Look at the New Disneyland Paris From A to Z 25th Anniversary Book

    I was, and still am, a huge fan of the 20 Years of Dreams book that came out for the 20th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris, so on hearing that a new book was to be released for the 25th Anniversary I was understandably very intrigued. But I also had a few questions, and thanks to Editor in Chief and Project Leader of both books Mathias Dugoujon, I have the answers to those questions. Last month there was a merchandise presentation in Disneyland Paris and one of the key items was the…
