    Review of Swing into Spring 2015 in Disneyland Paris

    I’ve been off the Disneyland Paris radar for 6 weeks, so I didn’t know anything about the Swing into Spring celebrations in Disneyland Paris before writing this article, and searching for the associated videos for each part. So far removed from the Disneyland Paris community have I been, that I had to text Mark from our podcast and ask him what elements actually made up Swing into Spring this year. Then it was off to PixieDust.be who I can always rely on to have photos and videos up pretty quickly, and…

    Review of Christmas 2014 in Disneyland Paris – Decorations, Dreams!, Wishes & Christmas Parade

    Last week was my 7th visit during the Christmas season at Disneyland Paris, and my 4th year in a row of the festive celebrations. I’ve said on many occasions that weather aside, it’s certainly my favourite time of year to go, and I was expecting to come away thinking the same thing.

I never even went trick or treating…

    This past Sunday (22nd June), I was fortunate enough to spend the day at Disneyland Paris for the press preview of the La Place de Rémy, and of course it’s main features, the “Ratatouille: The Adventure” attraction and the restaurant “Bistrot Chez Rémy”. First of all I would like to extend my gratitude to Disneyland Paris for the invitation and hospitality over the day, and of course Steve who couldn’t go himself so I got to go in his place. Following registration and picking up some cool Ratatouille credentials (including a…

    Hipark Serris-Val d’Europe (Near Disneyland Paris) – Studio Review

    Last November I visited Disneyland Paris for the launch of the 2013 Christmas Season, and on the Friday night I stayed for the first time in a studio at Hipark Serris-Val d’Europe. I had seen quite a few people speak favourably of these apartments so wanted to give it a go – plus at £52 it was only £2 more expensive than Séjours & Affaires. I got off the train at Disneyland Paris, and then got another train to Val d’Europe. The walk to Hipark was about 20-25 minutes, which was…

    Review of Disney PhotoPass in Disneyland Paris

    My trip to Disneyland Paris in the last week of May this year was the first since the new Disney PhotoPass system has been introduced. Before that time ride photos could be purchased after your ride from the counters of specific rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain: Mission 2, and photos with characters could be purchased from your on site hotel shop or the photography centres such as Town Square Photography on Main Street, U.S.A. With those character photos you would be given a card for each…
