In the Mind of a Vinylmation Collector
As a collector of vinylmations myself I’m always interested to hear from other collectors. So let me introduce you to Danny who has kindly written an article for us about being a vinylamtion collector – take it away Danny! Let me begin with saying I love collecting stuff. Back in 2000 I bought my first pins in Disneyland Paris and bought and traded them for a year or three.

New Version of Dreams! Without Water Screens Tested in Disneyland Paris
Just a few days ago on June 6th, a new version of Dreams! was uploaded to YouTube. The big difference was no water screens, and those parts that are usually projected onto the water screens were instead shown on the Castle itself.

This most recent trip to Disneyland Paris, May 26th-30th, was a last minute visit booked just a few weeks before departure. Usually we get plans sorted at least 6 months in advance, so I wasn’t quite prepared for the £500 cost of booking the Eurostar, our usual method of transportation between the UK and France. What to do now? Well, I could drive, I mean, I’ve been a passenger on a drive to Disneyland Paris, didn’t look that hard. I’ll confess, before this trip I had never driven abroad, let alone…

An Open Letter To Disneyland Paris Cast Members
Just yesterday I got back from my 14th trip to Disneyland Paris, a family stay with my wife and 5 year old. Of course I have many things to talk about (you can follow the new Dedicated to DLP Instagram account for photos – username dedicatedtodlp), from a visit that saw quite a few firsts. Before I get to that however, I need to address the Cast Members of Disneyland Paris, to include everyone who works there and has worked there. To the Cast Members of Disneyland Paris In my previous…
