    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Land/Area in Walt Disney Studios

    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris AwardsWINNER Toy Story Playland (50%) 2nd Toon Studio (27%) 3rd Backlot (14%) 4th Disney Studio 1 (9%) Sorry, but I don’t agree. There’s no doubt that Toy Story Playland is a dynamic addition to Walt Disney Studios, but best land/area in Walt Disney Studios? Surely not. I’ve no doubt the rides are fun, for some, but visually it doesn’t hold a candle to the amazing Studio 1 which is an area that I believe is very under-utilised, especially in the evenings.

    Disneyland Paris Pins for October 2011 – Christmas Already!

    It doesn’t seem like a whole month ago since we were talking about the September pins, but here we are with another set for October. Wow, Christmas pins already?

Last time we went in September and loved that time of year due to the nice weather and low crowds, but my son starts school next year so September is out of the question. We’d…

    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Walt Disney Studios Restaurant

    WINNER Café des Cascadeurs (57%) 2nd Blockbuster Café (36%) 3rd Backlot Express (7%) I have to admit that we rarely eat in Walt Disney Studios, usually choosing to eat in Parc Disneyland (like my clever use of the French version instead of just Disneyland Park? Clever me) or Disney Village. The runaway win for Café des Cascadeurs makes me want to try it out though. I did some research and found the menu over at Disney Central Plaza – photo credit goes to Serleena. Unless I am missing something it looks…
