    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…

    Disneyland Paris News: Carl and Russell From UP Invade Adventureland

    Big news in Disneyland Paris yesterday, and thanks to our friend @InsideDLParis we have photos of these new additions to Adventureland. Namely Carl Fredricksen and Russell from the film UP, who can be seen near Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost. On the one hand, there’s the question of why they feel the need to add characters to such a nice area in Adventureland. Surely there are enough characters all over the resort that we don’t need to spoil such a beautiful area of natural beauty with man made models of characters from…

    Disneyland Paris Rumour: Spider-Man Meet & Greet Photo Location Coming to Walt Disney Studios

    Our friends over at DLRP Express this morning posted news of a rumour that Marvel superhero Spider-Man will have his own photo location in Walt Disney Studios from mid March until mid July. It will be in place of the old Annual Passport office next to the Blockbuster Cafe, which currently has some Iron Man themimg. Great news! That was my first impression on hearing this and is still my opinion now. Marvel is a huge brand across the world and the recent acquisition of its characters by The Walt Disney…

    The Characters from the Disneyland Hotels Now Part of Extra Magic Hours in Disneyland Park

    So just a few days ago the news broke that from November of this year there would be no more character meet and greets in hotels in Disneyland Paris. Much speculation and discussion ensued, and I even theorised that maybe this would mean the characters could be used in a new show. We now know, and thanks to DLRPToday and Salon Mickey for picking up on this, that the characters will be relocated to Disneyland Park during Extra Magic Hours. That means people who stay in on site hotels or those…

    No More Characters in Disneyland Paris Hotels

    Below is the tweet that appears to have started much activity on Twitter this afternoon and evening: When it comes to Disneyland Paris, @DisneyMoi has very close ties and whilst not an official representative of the resort, what he says is a close to official as we are likely to get. So there you have it, at some point later in the year, there will be no more character meet and greets in Disneyland Paris hotels. This has caused much discussion among the Disneyland Paris community, mostly negative. Meeting characters is…

    Jake from The Neverland Pirates & Sofia The First Coming to Disneyland Paris

    Hot off the presses from the font of all knowledge, @InsideDLParis, I can confirm that Jake, from the Neverland Pirates, and Sofia The First will be a part of the attraction where they found their fame. Playhouse Disney Live on Stage! is closed from the 1st through to the 28th September, and on September 29th it will open once again, but renamed Disney Junior – Live On Stage! That’s actually a guess, but an educated one, given that I know the show is getting a new name to bring it on…
