Do The Green Fences & Closures Affect The Magic in Disneyland Paris?
As many of you will already know, over the next year or so there are a large number of ride closures and refurbishments taking place in Disneyland Paris. Like most, when I heard this news I had conflicting views. Firstly of course I was happy, the parks are in need of some love and attention and I was looking forward to seeing the end result. In contrast though my second thought was that of disappointment. I didn’t think I could justify spending money to visit a place with a large number…

Disneyland Paris News: Place des Stars Stage in Walt Disney Studios to be Removed, but what will Replace it?
Earlier today Disney Central Plaza broke the news that a permit has been filed to remove the Place des Stars Stage in Walt Disney Studios, which can be found in the space outside Playhouse Disney, Stitch Live on Stage and CinéMagique. To be fair, it hasn’t be used to its fullest potential for some years now, and in my experience it’s main use has been for people to sit and each lunch on.

Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Logo, Anniversary Logo Rewind & What We Know So Far
It was during this past weekend’s D23 Expo in Anaheim they announced that in 2017 Disneyland Paris would be celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

Review of Star Wars Jedi Training Academy in Disneyland Paris
This is an article that seemed to be doomed from the start, but I’m finally here, unlike the notes I took whilst watching the video, which seem lost forever. It was over a year ago in May 2014 that rumours of the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy began to surface, and after the press preview in May this year, it finally opened to the public on July 11th, in Videopolis, on the stage where The Lion King used to be. The video I saw was taken by ToonStudios and is here…

Disneyland Paris Pins for July 2015 – Star Wars, Stitch, Squares and Nightmare Before Christmas?
To say it’s an interesting set of pin releases in Disneyland Paris for July 2015 would be somewhat of an understatement, so take a look and then we’ll chat. Square Disneyland Paris Pins Okay, I’ll hold my hand up and say I really don’t get these square faced character pins coming out on Saturday. Is this some trend that has sailed way over my head or are they just square for the sake of being something different? Also, the designs are inconsistent, with Baloo and Bambi having the whole square being…
