runDisney Coming to Disneyland Paris in 2014?
runDisney is a set of running events that currently take place in Walt Disney World and Disneyland in California. These runs are in and around the Disney resorts and are usually themed. For example, upcoming events in 2013 include the Princess Half Marathon and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler Weekend. You register to take part and a lot of participants also raise money for charity as part of their runDisney experience.

Disneyland Paris Villages Nature Brochure
In 2016 an incredible self-sustainable resort will open just 6km from Disneyland Paris. It looks like a huge project, in partnership with Center Parcs, which will be a sight to behold when it opens. I’m specially drawn to the suspended gardens and though some trees have recently been planted in Disneyland Paris, most noticeably on Main Street, U.S.A., it can’t compare to the lush surroundings that you could stay on over at Villages Nature. Unlike the much awaited Ratatouille attraction, there is lots of information and concept art readily available and…

New Phantom Manor Merchandise Coming to Disneyland Paris
One of my biggest moans about Disneyland Paris over the past few years has been the merchandise. I’ve not been impressed with what has been on offer and on my last few trips have bought next to nothing. Combine that with my decade long desire for a decent range of Phantom Manor merchandise and this news couldn’t be more perfect. I actually have a musical Phantom Manor globe that my wife bought me in Disneyland Paris some years ago. Well, I say Phantom Manor but it’s actually a Haunted Mansion globe,…

Mysterious Photo of Disney Dreams! in Thick Fog & Smoke
This photo comes courtesy of Geoff Dodds and an explanation of what happened is also from Geoff from the night of February 25th. Tonight’s Dreams! was an interesting one. Heavy snow and fog. Started off using the fireworks. When all of a sudden during Be Our Guest the projections weren’t coming through the smoke caused by the fireworks. So, the fireworks were turned off. Then during Tangled, they turned them back on. By the end of Dreams!, the castle was non existent. The Cast Members were looking around laughing. I hung…
