Star Wars Season of the Force is Coming Back to Disneyland Paris in 2018 – What’s New and Is It Newsworthy?
As you have probably noticed, I’ve all but given up on writing news articles on Dedicated to DLP. I have the Disneyland Paris News Update videos on YouTube and the podcast to cover news, plus social media does a good job of covering that in a more timely manner these days. However, having just received the Star Wars Season of the Force press release, this is something that interests me enough to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard more accurately, as 1) it’s Star Wars, and 2) I’m going…

Disneyland Paris Hotel Review – Hotel Cheyenne Texas Room
It only struck me after I’d written my Disneyland Hotel review, that as much as I talk about how much I love Hotel Cheyenne, and especially post refurbishments, I’ve never written an actual review of those stunning Texas Rooms. I think it’s time I rectified that. It was back in October last year (that was 2016 in case you are reading this in 2027) that I booked to stay in the new Texas rooms of Hotel Cheyenne for the first time. I was over in Disneyland Paris for my first ever…

Disneyland Paris Hotel Review – Disneyland Hotel. Super Conveniant But No Boot Lamp
Up until last month I had stayed at Hotel Santa Fe, Hotel Cheyenne, Sequoia Lodge Hotel, Newport Bay Club and Hotel New York. So aside from the 15 minute drive away Davy Crockett Ranch, I had stayed at every on site Disneyland Paris Hotel, except one. For 15 years and 20+ visits, I was finally going to stay in the Disneyland Hotel – you know, that big pink one that you walk underneath to go through the main turnstiles of Disneyland Park. In true Steve fashion, I’ve gone all these years…

Disneyland Paris runDisney 2017 Diary Day 2 – The runDisney 10K
A 4:30am alarm?! Must be a runDisney race day. Getting up and motivated at this time in the morning was never going to be easy, but I just kept the thought of my second shiny medal in mind. Entering the events arena just before 6am, runners were divided into their corrals A, B or C, all leading out back on to Avenue Paul Seramy and up towards the roundabout where a stage had been set up and a DJ was waiting to entertain us for the next hour. Big screens showed…

Disneyland Paris runDisney 2017 Diary Day 1 – The runDisney 5K
RunDisney had returned to Disneyland Paris for it’s second year. Just like last year the weekend included a Health and Wellness Expo at the Disney Events Arena, 5K and half marathon races with the new addition of a 10K race and a challenge to complete both longer races. Upon arriving at Disneyland Paris I proceeded straight to collect my race bibs and t-shirts. With a similar layout to last year and not many additions, the expo still looks like a work in progress but the bib collection was smooth and efficient.…

Disney FanDaze in Disneyland Paris – The Event, The Announcement, The Future
Though I had great fun experiencing Halloween this past weekend, that wasn’t the main reason I was there, as the Disney FanDaze announcement event was what saw me take off to Disneyland Paris once again. Like everyone else I knew very little going in, but had guessed that it would be focused on characters based on the teases put out by Disneyland Paris on social media. I was to be at Walt Disney Studios at 8.30pm on Saturday September 30th and all would be revealed! We had a pre presentation drink…
