Review of Star Wars Jedi Training Academy in Disneyland Paris
This is an article that seemed to be doomed from the start, but I’m finally here, unlike the notes I took whilst watching the video, which seem lost forever. It was over a year ago in May 2014 that rumours of the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy began to surface, and after the press preview in May this year, it finally opened to the public on July 11th, in Videopolis, on the stage where The Lion King used to be. The video I saw was taken by ToonStudios and is here…

Relais Spa Chessy Val d’Europe Aparthotel (Near Disneyland Paris) – Premium Double Room Review
On my recent trip to Disneyland Paris I was booked into Hotel New York on the Saturday night for the Frozen Summer Fun press weekend, but wanted to be there first thing in the morning so as not to miss anything. This meant a night in Val d’Europe and a chance to try out a different hotel. I actually looked at the Hipark Serris-Val d’Europe where I stayed in December 2013, but I was drawn to the Relais Spa by the promise of a large double bed in their Premium Double…

Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Season Review, Photos and Tips
Frozen Summer Fun has officially started at Disneyland Paris and after all the press left it was time for the public to experience the new attractions. At rope drop on opening day the new Frozen Fun area was very quiet and quaint, but with not a lot going on early in the day the main test would come at the first public showing of Frozen Sing-along. I headed over for the English showing at 13:45. Arriving over half an hour before the start I was met with a shockingly long queue…

Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Review: Frozen Marketplace
The area in Frontierland that used to house Woody’s Roundup and at Christmas is home to Santa’s Village, is for the summer season rethemed as the Frozen marketplace, straight out of Arendelle. Before you get to the Marketplace there is a big sign for Frozen Fun – not Frozen Summer Fun, but just Frozen Fun. This of course sparked discussion and speculation as to whether it would not be just for Summer, and unofficially rumours have started to emerge that the Frozen Sing-along show will be back for Christmas.

Disneyland Paris Star Wars Jedi Training Academy Press Preview
The Star Wars Jedi Academy is due to open in Disneyland Paris on July 11th, but this past Sunday there were previews for the press. The final attraction will be located in Videopolis, but this preview took place in the Star Tours after show area. I turned up early for the first preview and was let in, but was quickly told that this was not the preview I should be in. The very nice lady in charge made a phonecall and a few minutes later told me that in fact I…

Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Review: Frozen Sing-along Show
Like many of you, I was really disappointed when both Tarzan and Mickey’s Winter Wonderland disappeared from The Chaparral Theater, especially after the Fantasy Festival Stage changed to Meet Mickey Mouse and with The Lion King already long gone from Videopolis. Times have been hard for fans of stage shows in Disneyland Paris of late, until the news of the Frozen show broke. As time went on we learned it would be a Frozen Sing-along show, which I was never particularly thrilled about. I like Frozen, not to the extent of…
