    Do The Green Fences & Closures Affect The Magic in Disneyland Paris?

    As many of you will already know, over the next year or so there are a large number of ride closures and refurbishments taking place in Disneyland Paris. Like most, when I heard this news I had conflicting views. Firstly of course I was happy, the parks are in need of some love and attention and I was looking forward to seeing the end result.

    Review of Star Wars Jedi Training Academy in Disneyland Paris

    This is an article that seemed to be doomed from the start, but I’m finally here, unlike the notes I took whilst watching the video, which seem lost forever. It was over a year ago in May 2014 that rumours of the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy began to surface, and after the press preview in May this year, it finally opened to the public on July 11th, in Videopolis, on the stage where The Lion King used to be. The video I saw was taken by ToonStudios and is here…
