    What do we want from Disneyland Paris in 2016?

    When I say we, it’s the royal we of just I, Steve, but it reads better as an article title to say we rather than I. So it’s 2016, and you might be waking up with a fuzzy head and the first bout of regret for the new year already. That’s not me by the way, it’s not even 7am and I’m wide awake writing this very article, determined to start the year as I mean to go on – sitting on the sofa in my pyjamas. 2016 is set to…

    What is the one thing takes your mind straight back to Disneyland Paris?

    If I’m honest, I haven’t given much though to Disneyland Paris over the past few weeks. I work online in the retail industry which keeps me incredibly busy at this time of year, and with the new Star Wars film and then spending Christmas with family friends, my mind has been elsewhere. There have been various points over the holiday period where my thoughts could have wondered over to Disneyland Paris, but when I heard Let It Go I didn’t think of the Frozen sing-along in The Chaparral Theater, as great…

    Do You Avoid Spoilers When New Entertainment or Attractions Come To Disneyland Paris?

    You’ve read the title of this article, but why do I ask this? As I am writing, it’s just 8 days until I return to Disneyland Paris, and although Christmas is my favourite time to visit, and the season started 2 days ago, I am staying away from Twitter and Facebook as much as possible so as to avoid seeing any photos of videos of the new features. There’s the new tree lighting ceremony (I saw the concept art but nothing since), the Princesses doing something on the Castle Stage and…

    Could Hong Kong Disneyland’s Mickey and the Wondrous Book be Coming to Disneyland Paris to Replace Animagique?

    When the news came out in the last 24 hours that a new show of the same ilk as Disneyland Resort’s Mickey and the Magical Map called Mickey and the Wondrous Book is coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, it’s hard not to think of Animagique when you see the concept art that Disney have released. Now take a look at a scene from Animagique: We know that Animagique is closing in February 2016 and reopening again in July of the same year. Let’s look back at what Disneyland Paris said in…

    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. In contrast though my second thought was that of disappointment. I didn’t think I could justify spending money to visit a place with a large number…

    What If…One of the Lands in Disneyland Paris Had to Close – Which Would You Choose?

    It’s a strange question I realise, but I wondered, with all the refurbishments going on at the moment and those planned (see here), if they had ever had so much being worked on in one land that closing it had been considered. I’m thinking no is the answer to that, but it did get me thinking, if it did happen, which land would you be least upset with them closing, and why? This is of course massively subjective for each individual but I’m going to have a go at explaining why…
