    Exclusive Q & A With Disneyland Paris runDisney Organiser

    Last week I had the opportunity to put some questions to the organiser of the inaugural runDisney event in Disneyland Paris, which takes place 23rd -25th Sept 2016. More accurately, your questions were answered, as there so many I didn’t want to leave any out, and kept mine to a minimum. You guys covered the important issues, or at least the things I would discoverer were important to you. This is just the first Q&A and I will do be doing a follow up in a couple of months, so if…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 6

    Well it was another cold and wet day in Disneyland Paris today so I thought I would share a few photos of Walt Disney Studios. With a few areas being refurbished and the lack of any form of a parade I have to be honest I’ve not really had a reason to go to the studios this holiday. During my time here for Halloween I’ve spent about two hours in total inside this park but luckily this morning the fences around the Front Lot had been removed revealing the fountain again…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 5

    With the rain and cold weather hitting Disneyland Paris hard this morning I have to be honest, I’ve struggled to get photos in focus due to shivering! So today I have included a few pictures of Main Street I took the day before to really show the Halloween decorations. With pumpkins, black cats and ghosts everywhere you turn, Main Street has been transformed for the season. It is also the best place to meet characters. The characters out and about during extra magic hours do seem to stay till around 11am.…

I think this is the best time to explore Discoveryland. Once the sun has set Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is lit up with spookatcular colours for the Halloween season. This trip I experienced Dreams! for the first time since the self stick ban. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know that having my view suddenly blocked…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 3

    The only time it’s good when your body wakes you up at stupid o’clock is when your in Disneyland. Making the most of the early morning I decided to head to the park for extra magical hours. So far the Parisien weather is behaving which meant a beautiful sunrise over the resort and one of the best things about extra magical hours at Halloween is experiencing daybreak in Fantasyland The Disney Villains have taken over the castle again this Halloween. Maleficient’s Court with the dragon shaped brambles has returned where she…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 2

    Waking up in Disneyland Paris has to be one of the best feelings in the world. Have to admit I’ve wondered around the park today in a bit of a daze, I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that I’m actually here! After a slow start, you can get jetlag from travelling to France right?, I spent a lot of the day exploring Frontierland and Adventureland, so I will let the photos do most of the talking. The Pumpkin villagers and Jack Skellington have taken over Frontierland for the Halloween season…
