Looking at the Official Making Making of Disney Dreams! at Disneyland Paris
So yesterday Disneyland Paris shared their Making of Disney Dreams! at Disneyland Paris video which you can all watch right here: httpvh://youtu.be/6IzM2IZOric It’s always nice to get a look behind the scenes of anything that goes on inside the parks, and if there’s one thing this video screamed, it’s the need for a proper full length programme about Dreams! We got a few snippets of information and it’s always good to hear from the imagineers involved and their thought process and journey, but we only really scraped the surface. Disneyland Paris…

20 Questions with a Disneyland Paris Fan – Matt Bateman
1. When did you first visit Disneyland Paris? May 1997. I still have my park map and ticket, which was made of plastic in those days. 2. How many times have you been in total? 20. 3. What’s your first memory of Disneyland Paris? I think finding it weird that C-3PO was speaking French in the queue for Star Tours. I’m not sure but I guess I should have expected it! 4. What’s your favourite attraction and why? Its a tie I think between Pirates of the Caribbean and Phantom Manor.…

Updates From Disneyland Paris: Ratatouille, Big Thunder Mountain & Adventureland
Nick has just returned from Disneyland Paris and was kind enough to send me some photos of work going on inside the resort. This first one of the Ratatouille construction was actually sent while he was still there a few days ago. Nick added “The entrance is between Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and RC Racer, past animatronic Rex (odd hearing him in French) and through the Barrel o’ Monkeys”. It really is a massive construction site, which it has to be, to hold a huge new ride, restaurant, boutique and queuing…

Celebrating 21 Years of Disneyland Paris
Many things have happened over the years in Disneyland Paris, and year by year I will highlight just 1 or 2 of the things that happened that year. They may not be the biggest or most important, but they mean something to me. 1992 – EuroDisney Opens Having been to Disneyland Paris, as it’s called now, 13 times since 2002, it’s hard to believe that back in 1992 EuroDisney wasn’t on my radar. In fact Disney wasn’t really on my radar either. But on that day, April 12th, EuroDisney opened…

Even The Butter Is Magic In Disneyland Paris!
Confession time, it was actually margarine not butter, but I wasn’t sure how well that translated in all languages so kept it as butter for the subject of this post! So there we were, sitting in La Cantina for breakfast last May and I casually opened my little portion of margarine ready to spread it on my toast. It was just by chance that I glanced at the underside of the lid and saw this remarkable reproduction of a certain Disneyland Paris attraction logo: It was as obvious as the sky…

Dreams! Soundtrack CD Coming to Disneyland Paris This Summer
This is the news I have been hoping to hear since Dreams! debuted over a year ago in Disneyland Paris, and quite why it’s taken this long is a mystery. Thanks to @InsideDLParis who got this information from Disneyland Paris Music Director Vasile Sirli and passed it all on to us. The Dreams! soundtrack will be released on CD…this summer. That could mean as early as June or as late as August, but let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later. Of course the first question that comes to mind is what…
