    Review of Mickey and the Magician in Disneyland Paris

    I did it! I stayed strong and avoided seeing any video footage or even allowing my eyes to linger over a photo for more than a fleeting glance, and as such I entered the Animagique Theatre last Monday completely spoiler free for Mickey and the Magician.

    Will Mickey and the Magician See Me Break A Disneyland Paris Tradition?

    For years when visiting Disneyland Paris it’s been instinctual behaviour for us to head straight to Disneyland Park and before my son was born, our first destination was always Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Disneyland Paris News: Mickey and the Magician to replace Animagique, Star Tours last ride March 16th & more

    Christmas is but a distant memory, the New Year is a closer memory, but possibly a hazier one. What’s to look forward to now, except for some very cold, grey and wet winter days? A press release from Disneyland Paris, and with it one very big morsel of information we’ve been clamouring for since time began. Okay, that last bit might be hyperbole, but we at last know what will be replacing Animagique, and that is Mickey and the Magician. Let me pass you over to the Disneyland Paris press department:…
