    A new year, a new month and a new set of pins. Let’s see what we get in the way of Disneyland Paris Pins January 2017 and whether it sets the tone for the rest of the year.

    Four Seasons in Twelve Months – My Disneyland Paris Year Like No Other

    In the past I’ve experienced landmark celebrations such as the 10th, 15th and 20th Anniversaries, and I’ve been in Disneyland Paris for festival years like New Generation and Magical Moments. In my 17 pre-2016 trips only a few times have I been more than once in a calendar year, with twice being the maximum. Thanks to some great friends and family, I have had more than my share of luck with visits this year and have visited Disneyland Paris 4 times in 2016. Not only is that twice as many times…

    At Last We Have a PhotoPass Photographer at the Castle in Disneyland Paris – Use Them, Praise Them, Keep Them

    For years we fans of Disneyland Paris wanted official photographers around the resort to take our photo in iconic locations, like Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park and The Partners Statue in Walt Disney Studios. PhotoPass+ came along and this was actually mentioned in the initial information release that went around, but never materialised. Then a couple of months ago a PhotoPass+ photographer was spotted in front of the Castle, and no, they weren’t lost – they were actually there to take photos of guests! Fast forward to the present and…

    Disneyland Paris Pins For December 2016: Star Wars, Beauty and the Beast, Christmas, Jewellery and 2017

    Thank you to David for posting this photo of the December 2017 Disneyland Paris pins, which includes more than just 1 or 2 Star Wars pins! Disneyland Paris Pin Releases – December 3rd 2016 This is the day I arrive in Disneyland Paris, but as I don’t get there until mid afternoon I’m guessing the Santa Cogsworth will be sold out, especially as half are reportedly being reserved for the Beauty and the Beast pin event later in the month. The Christmas and Star Wars Rogue One limited edition pins are…

    Disneyland Paris Review: The Newly Refurbished Adventure Isle and La Cabane des Robinson

    I teased this article on Twitter by saying About to write about my favourite area in the whole of Disneyland Paris, which is now even better and looked glorious on my last trip, and that is absolutely true. Adventureland is home to both my favourite attraction in Pirates of the Caribbean, and my favourite restaurant, The Blue Lagoon. It also has the most beautiful and immersive area of Disneyland Park – Adventure Isle. A few of the attractions homed on Adventure Isle have recently been refurbished, and thankfully opened in time…
