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.
