Review of Mickey and the Magician in Disneyland Paris
I did it! I stayed strong and avoided seeing any video footage or even allowing my eyes to linger over a photo for more than a fleeting glance, and as such I entered the Animagique Theatre last Monday completely spoiler free for Mickey and the Magician. I knew there would be characters from a few select films and I knew there would be magic, beyond that I knew little else, except people had almost universally praised it very highly. We were sat pretty much in the middle and in the front…

Disneyland Paris Pins For August 2016: Christmas (!), Hook, Dog and Sparkles
This is not a mistake, I don’t think, these are the actual pins being released in Disneyland Paris in August…really. As I started last month, I’m going to post close ups of the pins, by week of release. Only problem this month is they are arranged in tall columns, so apologies for all the scrolling! Disneyland Paris Pin Releases – 6th August 2016 I love Christmas, and I don’t even mind when my wife decorates the house at the start of November (no joke), but August is WAY too early to…

Eurostar – Celebrating 20 Years of the Direct London to Disneyland Paris Service
20 years ago in 1996, Euorstar debuted a service which would change the way people travel to Disneyland Paris, making it very easy indeed. Back then, the base station in London was Waterloo, where you could get on your train and under 4 hours later be at Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, just a short walk to Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios (when it opened), Disney Village and a variety of on site hotels. I only visited Disneyland Paris for the first time in 2002, so I never experienced the indirect service that…

Will Mickey and the Magician See Me Break A Disneyland Paris Tradition?
For years when visiting Disneyland Paris it’s been instinctual behaviour for us to head straight to Disneyland Park and before my son was born, our first destination was always Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, for his first two trips it was also Pirates first, but then on his last trip, he was tall enough to ride Star Tours, so years of tradition got thrown out of the window as we headed for an attempted flight to Endor as our first port of call. Something even more drastic might be happening…

Disneyland Paris Pins For July 2016: Marvel, More Marvel and Some Disney Too!
In one respect it feels like June has flown by, but it also feels like ages ago that I talked about the June pins. Long or short, the month has gone, and so we now have news of the July pins in Disneyland Paris. Though you can click on the above pin poster to enlarge it, or make it smaller depending on what device you are using to view this article, I have decided to shake things up and look at each set of releases by date, and with that a…

The Two Big Reasons Why Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris Shouldn’t Have A Star Wars Theme
I got on holiday for a few days and everything goes crazy – the UK referendum votes in favour of leaving the EU and the English football team loses in the second round of Euro 2016 to rank outsiders Iceland. They say things come in threes, and to add to the dystopian few days we have had rumours started to spread that Space Mountain: Mission 2 would become a Star Wars themed attraction for Mission 3 in 2017. This rumour seems to come out of nowhere and could just be someone…
