    What is the one thing takes your mind straight back to Disneyland Paris?

    If I’m honest, I haven’t given much though to Disneyland Paris over the past few weeks. I work online in the retail industry which keeps me incredibly busy at this time of year, and with the new Star Wars film and then spending Christmas with family friends, my mind has been elsewhere. There have been various points over the holiday period where my thoughts could have wondered over to Disneyland Paris, but when I heard Let It Go I didn’t think of the Frozen sing-along in The Chaparral Theater, as great…

    Review of Royal Christmas Wishes 2015 in Disneyland Paris

    I never saw the Royal Welcome last year, which consisted of Anna and Elsa sitting in a horse drawn carriage as it cantered past guests with the Arendelle sisters waving. It wasn’t something I actively avoided, but also not something I had as a high priority, especially after meeting them in the Princess Pavilion already on that trip. This year it’s back but we also have something new for Christmas in Disneyland Paris, Royal Christmas Wishes – yes, another show or piece of entertainment that uses the name Wishes. So, courtesy…

    Review of Mickey’s Magical Christmas Lights 2015 in Disneyland Paris

    Nothing can really compare to being in Disneyland Paris to experience the magic in person, but as that didn’t happen for me this Christmas season (you can read why here), I’m left with watching videos and forming my opinion from those. Luckily DLPGuide.com was there, and it is those videos I am using to do these reviews. Starting with the new Mickey’s Magical Christmas Lights, I’ll let you watch it yourself, then we can talk. httpvh://youtu.be/JNiicZnFUPc Before I start on the new 2015 version, read my thoughts on the 2013 version,…

    Do You Avoid Spoilers When New Entertainment or Attractions Come To Disneyland Paris?

    You’ve read the title of this article, but why do I ask this? As I am writing, it’s just 8 days until I return to Disneyland Paris, and although Christmas is my favourite time to visit, and the season started 2 days ago, I am staying away from Twitter and Facebook as much as possible so as to avoid seeing any photos of videos of the new features. There’s the new tree lighting ceremony (I saw the concept art but nothing since), the Princesses doing something on the Castle Stage and…
