The Great Mason Family Disneyland Paris Badge Adventure
When Katie told me what she and her family were doing during the runDisney weekend I asked if she could send me some pictures, and that she did. So without further ado, I hand you over to Katie: Happy 6th Birthday to start with! (Editor’s note – the Dedicated to DLP website turned 6 in late September). Thank you for everything you do. We love the show, which is probably why my Mum went a bit badge crazy. We wanted some to wear around the park and for the run, but…

Peter Pan Refurbished – A Disneyland Paris Classic Shines Brighter
It’s quite strange writing an article that I have no photos for aside from one of the sign, but Peter Pan’s Flight in Disneyland Paris is one that I have never taken photos of whilst riding. Not only is it quite a fast ride, but it changes direction a lot so getting a good photo is often a futile task. Throw in low light and an attraction that enthralls, and photos are almost an impossibility, if you could escape the fantasy long enough to take one. Peter Pan’s Flight was closed…

Deconstructing the Disneyland Paris Star Wars Season of the Force TV Spot Advert
When a trailer comes out it’s only natural to discuss what is in it, what it reveals and the theories that ensue. When a Star Wars trailer comes out we study it very carefully, frame by frame, looking for even the slightest hint of a new character, ship or cameo that has been rumoured on a message board in galaxy far far away. The last 7 days has seen the Disneyland Paris Season of the Force details revealed and discussed here, a press release come out a few days later mentioning…

Eurostar – Celebrating 20 Years of the Direct London to Disneyland Paris Service
20 years ago in 1996, Euorstar debuted a service which would change the way people travel to Disneyland Paris, making it very easy indeed. Back then, the base station in London was Waterloo, where you could get on your train and under 4 hours later be at Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, just a short walk to Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios (when it opened), Disney Village and a variety of on site hotels. I only visited Disneyland Paris for the first time in 2002, so I never experienced the indirect service that…

Will Mickey and the Magician See Me Break A Disneyland Paris Tradition?
For years when visiting Disneyland Paris it’s been instinctual behaviour for us to head straight to Disneyland Park and before my son was born, our first destination was always Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, for his first two trips it was also Pirates first, but then on his last trip, he was tall enough to ride Star Tours, so years of tradition got thrown out of the window as we headed for an attempted flight to Endor as our first port of call. Something even more drastic might be happening…

The Two Big Reasons Why Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris Shouldn’t Have A Star Wars Theme
I got on holiday for a few days and everything goes crazy – the UK referendum votes in favour of leaving the EU and the English football team loses in the second round of Euro 2016 to rank outsiders Iceland. They say things come in threes, and to add to the dystopian few days we have had rumours started to spread that Space Mountain: Mission 2 would become a Star Wars themed attraction for Mission 3 in 2017. This rumour seems to come out of nowhere and could just be someone…
