    Why do months with trips to Disneyland Paris in go so quickly? I was there just over a week ago and of course March has flown by as fast as lightning. I am consoling myself with details of the Disneyland Paris Pins for April 2016, thanks to our friends at Dlrp Express.   Limited Edition Pins I Googled for dog celebrations happening in April and couldn’t find any, in fact Dog Day is 26th or 31st August, depending on which organisation you adhere to.

    Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: Newly refurbished it’s a small world

    Just a few short months ago it’s a small world opened it’s doors again in Disneyland Paris after a period of refurbishment. We thought there they may have added some Disney characters to the attraction as has been done in America, but this was not to be. Instead we got an internal and external paint job and tidy up, which has it’s a small world looking fantastic, inside and out. The colours are now so vibrant that it feels like riding it on opening day. Maybe the characters will come, but…

    Disneyland Paris Restaurant Review: Inventions

    It’s been over a decade since I last visited Inventions, but the memories of how good it was have remained with me. Last week on our first night, that’s exactly where we went, for our 6pm booking at the flasghip restaurant within the Disneyland Hotel.

In the winter it would be replaced by Mickey’s Winter Wonderland for the Christmas season, but in the last few years it was left unused.

    Final Boarding Call For Endor Express – Saying Goodbye to Star Tours in Disneyland Paris

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…actually it was just 2 days ago and 342 miles away, which might be considered far far away for some. Over in Disneyland Paris on Wednesday 16th March 2016 was the very last day that Star Tours would be open in Disneyland Paris, and to commemorate this they put on an event in the evening for invited guests and a limited number of shareholders and Dream Annual Passport holders. I’d already booked a trip to be there that day, in hope that…
