    Disneyland Paris Photo Friday: The Spring that time forgot

    Okay, so the title may be a bit misleading, but The Time that Steve forgot isn’t quite as catchy. Next month I’m off to Disneyland Paris to experience the Spring season for the first time, except for the little matter that I’ve been before. “How can that be?”, I hear you cry. Last May I was in Disneyland Paris for the very first weekend of Frozen Summer Fun and my focus then and since, has been on all things Arendelle. So much so that until a friend reminded me, I did…

    Disneyland Paris Spring 2016 decorations – the best ever?

    I talked a couple of days ago about how Spring has sprung early in Disneyland Paris, and it seems even more has arrived overnight, dispatching of winter a month before we expected and turning Disneyland Park into mass of colour and fun. Thanks to @InsideDLParis, @DisneylandBerry and @ED92live we can now take a look at these stunning Spring celebrations. First of all we have to take a closer look at the character eggs, which have been seen in Tokyo Disneyland previously and have now made their way to Disneyland Paris. Seen…

    Disneyland Paris Pins for February 2016: We Love Paris, Mary, Animals and Tink

    Being the month of Valentine’s Day there is a splattering of pink and hearts amongst the Disneyland Paris pin releases for February, so let’s take a look. It’s quite a modest selection of pins this month, compared to previous months where we’ve had as many as 12-15 pins plus lanyards and booster sets. Released this coming Saturday, the I Love Paris series continues, and though I personally don’t like them and have never hidden those thoughts, ever since I learned of the high sales of this range of merchandise across the…

    Farewell Animagique, we’ll miss seeing you in Disneyland Paris

    Today, Sunday 31st January 2016, Animagique in Walt Disney Studios Disneyland Paris will close. After almost 14 years of service, the final showing will be at 6pm this evening and after that the building will be closed to make way for Mickey and the Magician which is set to open on July 2nd of this year. I really liked Animagique – it had a classic charm, with its mixture of puppetry and blacklight theatre effects. It was something I’d always wait until the end of the holiday to do, as a…
