    Disneyland Paris Restaurant Review: The Lucky Nugget Saloon

    You may remember from my previous post about The Lucky Nugget Saloon that I’ve never even entered this building, let alone eaten there, so this was an absolute first for me…as opposed to a partial one?! Inside it’s absolutely gorgeous, and nicer than any saloon I’ve ever seen in films, which is my only reference for saloons other than the Red Garter Saloon over at Hotel Cheyenne. On the wall behind the stage is the most incredible mural of Thunder Mesa depicting a thriving community, pre-earthquake. There is a gorgeous display…

    Disneyland Paris Restaurant Review: Inventions

    It’s been over a decade since I last visited Inventions, but the memories of how good it was have remained with me. Last week on our first night, that’s exactly where we went, for our 6pm booking at the flasghip restaurant within the Disneyland Hotel. I’m not sure what I was most looking forward to; the amazing array of food that would be on offer, or the fact that characters would come to me. That’s right – no queuing involved, they would actually come directly to my table, and bear in…

    Review of The Forest of Enchantment in Disneyland Paris

    When I first visited Disneyland Paris in 2002 The Tarzan Encounter was showing in The Chaparral Theater, a show I saw countless times that also spawned a love for the film that inspired it. In the winter it would be replaced by Mickey’s Winter Wonderland for the Christmas season, but in the last few years it was left unused. That was until last May last year when the Frozen Sing-along opened there for the Frozen Summer Fun season and then returned for Christmas. It had only been running for a few…

    Disneyland Paris Spring 2016 decorations – the best ever?

    I talked a couple of days ago about how Spring has sprung early in Disneyland Paris, and it seems even more has arrived overnight, dispatching of winter a month before we expected and turning Disneyland Park into mass of colour and fun. Thanks to @InsideDLParis, @DisneylandBerry and @ED92live we can now take a look at these stunning Spring celebrations. First of all we have to take a closer look at the character eggs, which have been seen in Tokyo Disneyland previously and have now made their way to Disneyland Paris. Seen…

    Review of Royal Christmas Wishes 2015 in Disneyland Paris

    I never saw the Royal Welcome last year, which consisted of Anna and Elsa sitting in a horse drawn carriage as it cantered past guests with the Arendelle sisters waving. It wasn’t something I actively avoided, but also not something I had as a high priority, especially after meeting them in the Princess Pavilion already on that trip. This year it’s back but we also have something new for Christmas in Disneyland Paris, Royal Christmas Wishes – yes, another show or piece of entertainment that uses the name Wishes. So, courtesy…

    Review of Mickey’s Magical Christmas Lights 2015 in Disneyland Paris

    Nothing can really compare to being in Disneyland Paris to experience the magic in person, but as that didn’t happen for me this Christmas season (you can read why here), I’m left with watching videos and forming my opinion from those. Luckily DLPGuide.com was there, and it is those videos I am using to do these reviews. Starting with the new Mickey’s Magical Christmas Lights, I’ll let you watch it yourself, then we can talk. httpvh://youtu.be/JNiicZnFUPc Before I start on the new 2015 version, read my thoughts on the 2013 version,…
