Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary Review: Pirates of the Caribbean – Refurbished and Improved
I did it, I managed to avoid all spoilers for what changes had been made to Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland Paris before seeing it with my own eyes. Well, I knew Captain Jack would be in there somewhere as that has been a not so secret plan for some years now. But that aside, staying away from social media and not opening emails titled Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens July 24th from Disneyland Paris communications was certainly the way to go! It was just 6 days ago that I…

The Art of Marvel Hotel Confirmed for Disneyland Paris at D23 – There Are No Negatives, It’s All Good
Each year there is a huge fan event called D23, usually in the States, where Disney announce a lot of the big plans they have for the huge variety of entertainment offerings they now produce. It’s fair to say that Disneyland Paris never gets much of a look in, due to there not being big things to talk about every year and the relative apathy of the crowds in attednace to Disneyland Paris itself.

Disneyland Paris Adding Surprise Rare Characters…Every Tuesday!

Disneyland Paris News: Blue Lagoon to be Renamed Captain Jack’s – Is That A Bad Thing?
Captain Jack’s – Le Restaurant des Pirates, to give it its full title. That’s the latest news that has been running amok today, after there has been conformation from Disneyland Paris themselves that when it reopens on July 24th that will indeed be its new name, following rumours of the name change earlier in the week. For the most part change in Disneyland Paris is met with derision, and by the same proportion of most, those changes are very quickly accepted when they go live in the Parks. There are exceptions…

Top 10 Things To Look Forward to at Disneyland Paris this Summer
10) Big Thunder Mountain This is a maybe at the moment, as my son isn’t sure he wants to ride it. For years he was too small, then when he grew tall enough the ride went down for refurbishment for a year. Now it’s back up, some of the time, the nerves have kicked in and when I last asked him he wasn’t keen.
