    Disneyland Paris Wish List for 2015

    It’s taken me a few days to get around to writing this because I wasn’t sure what I’d put on the list, given that there are strong rumours as to a lot of what is happening in Disneyland Paris in the next couple of years. Space Mountain IS shutting in a few days for major development, that won’t include new trains, something we found out a couple of months ago. We have been told by pretty reliable, but unofficial sources, that the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy is coming to Videopolis…

    Back From Disneyland Paris – Did I Complete My 10 Quests?

    You may remember that before I went to Disneyland Paris last Wednesday, I wrote an article detailing 10 things I wanted to do this time, many that I hadn’t done before. You can read in detail what they were here, but now to see how I did… Ratatouille and Place de Rémy I rode Ratatouille L’Attraction twice on the Thursday and was blown away. I’ll do a full review at a later date, but as someone who’s most technically advanced ride to date is Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, this was something…

    My 16th Visit To Disneyland Paris – What Do I Want To Do?

    It might not sound like a lot, but considering my first trip to Disneyland Paris wasn’t until July 2002, it’s a decent total.  I know some people who go multiple times a year, some even as often as once a month and more. Compared to them my 15 trips seems like child’s play, but to anyone outside of the Disneyland Paris community, it’s a number that raises eyebrows and questions of why. This is trip will be just my wife and I, to celebrate our wedding anniversary and our first trip…

    Disneyland Paris Live: The 50th Anniversary & New Ambassadors Report

    This live report comes from Jane Fielding (@Pixie_Dust99), who was in Disneyland Paris yesterday to see all the action go down with the new ambassador ceremony. The 50th annual ceremony to announce the next Disneyland Paris Ambassador team took place today at Videopolis Theatre. The stage was set with a very fitting live back drop of La Place de Remy and golden 50th Ambassador logos. As the audience started to be seated it was clear that all of the finalists had their own family and friends attending. Rut Sospedra (Reception Disneyland…

    Disneyland Paris – Please Keep Lightning McQueen Out As A Photo Meet

    This weekend, and apparently only for this weekend (it’s the Halloween press weekend), Lightning McQueen is out for people to have their photo taken with. Now this is something I’ve wanted to see for years, and have spoken about it many times on this website and on the podcast too. It makes so much sense, for so many reasons: 1) It requires no ‘friends with’ Cast Member to play the part. In fact it could be argued that it wouldn’t need any Cast Member involvement at all, and they just let…
