    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 4

    The park by Twilight: Disneyland Paris is stunning at any time of the day, but when the sun is setting and the park lights come to life it create a very different and magical setting. I think this is the best time to explore Discoveryland. Once the sun has set Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is lit up with spookatcular colours for the Halloween season. This trip I experienced Dreams! for the first time since the self stick ban. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know that having my view suddenly blocked…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 3

    The only time it’s good when your body wakes you up at stupid o’clock is when your in Disneyland. Making the most of the early morning I decided to head to the park for extra magical hours. So far the Parisien weather is behaving which meant a beautiful sunrise over the resort and one of the best things about extra magical hours at Halloween is experiencing daybreak in Fantasyland The Disney Villains have taken over the castle again this Halloween. Maleficient’s Court with the dragon shaped brambles has returned where she…

    Disneyland Paris Diary: Halloween 2015 – Day 2

    Waking up in Disneyland Paris has to be one of the best feelings in the world. Have to admit I’ve wondered around the park today in a bit of a daze, I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that I’m actually here! After a slow start, you can get jetlag from travelling to France right?, I spent a lot of the day exploring Frontierland and Adventureland, so I will let the photos do most of the talking. The Pumpkin villagers and Jack Skellington have taken over Frontierland for the Halloween season…

Each day I’ll try my best to post photos and a bit of information from the day so you can all feel a little closer to the place we all love. Hope…

    Photos from Yesteryear: DLP in 2002

    These photos were taken by Steve in 2002 with a film camera, in the pre-digital era, and is a fun look at how DLP looked back then, what has changed and what’s stayed the same. It’s A Small World, 21st July 2002, Disneyland Paris. Pirates of the Caribbean, 2002, Disneyland Paris. Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, 2002, Disneyland Paris Earfell Tower at Walt Disney Studios, just a few months after the Second Gate opened in 2002. Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at night, 2002, Disneyland Paris. Intriguing to see how few people there are, but…

    Disneyland Paris Christmas Parade 2014 Photos

    It’s been two weeks to the day since I left Disneyland Paris, but the memory of the great Christmas parade stays with me. You can read my thoughts on it here, but for now I leave you with some photos I took – from two different locations. I’m hoping next year Disneyland Paris will add another float to the Christmas parade, but still keep the cavalcade energy and fun factor.
