    Relais Spa Chessy Val d’Europe Aparthotel (Near Disneyland Paris) – Premium Double Room Review

    On my recent trip to Disneyland Paris I was booked into Hotel New York on the Saturday night for the Frozen Summer Fun press weekend, but wanted to be there first thing in the morning so as not to miss anything. This meant a night in Val d’Europe and a chance to try out a different hotel. I actually looked at the Hipark Serris-Val d’Europe where I stayed in December 2013, but I was drawn to the Relais Spa by the promise of a large double bed in their Premium Double…

    Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Season Review, Photos and Tips

    Frozen Summer Fun has officially started at Disneyland Paris and after all the press left it was time for the public to experience the new attractions. At rope drop on opening day the new Frozen Fun area was very quiet and quaint, but with not a lot going on early in the day the main test would come at the first public showing of Frozen Sing-along. I headed over for the English showing at 13:45. Arriving over half an hour before the start I was met with a shockingly long queue…

    Meeting Characters at the Frozen Summer Fun Dinner in Disneyland Paris

    Last Saturday we had a wonderful buffet in the Silver Spur Steakhouse in Frontierland as part of the Frozen Summer Fun preview weekend in Disneyland Paris, and as well as the great food, we were also visited by a bunch of characters you may recognise. Apologies for the quality of most of these photos – the low light and the flash not going off on my camera are my excuses. You’ll know from previous articles that I’ve never been the biggest fan of meeting characters, but after wonderful experiences with Anna…

    Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Review: Frozen Marketplace

    The area in Frontierland that used to house Woody’s Roundup and at Christmas is home to Santa’s Village, is for the summer season rethemed as the Frozen marketplace, straight out of Arendelle. Before you get to the Marketplace there is a big sign for Frozen Fun – not Frozen Summer Fun, but just Frozen Fun. This of course sparked discussion and speculation as to whether it would not be just for Summer, and unofficially rumours have started to emerge that the Frozen Sing-along show will be back for Christmas.
