Hi all,
So this week I got asked by someone:
I have been to Disneyland Paris only once before, but I stayed in Paris and just took buses (coaches) back and forth. This time I plan to stay at the DLPR. I am familiar with the hotels there - obviously the gorgeous Disneyland Hotel at the park entrance, but for a short trip alone, that is out of budget. As for the other hotels, is there a particular one you would recommend? How do they compare to the hotels at WDW or DL? - Rob

Hi all, With the Halloween Season drawing closer, I thought I would post some hints and tips regarding the Halloween Parties at the Magic Kingdom. The Halloween parties have become rather stagnant over the last few years, with no real new characters or shows. So everything I tell you will probably still be good in ten years from now!

Hi all, A few more hints and tips for you all here, regarding parades in the Magic Kingdom. To watch the night parade there is one spot that Jon and I always choose. It is facing the Castle from Liberty Square, at the bridge that goes over to the hub.
Let me show you:
There is normally a trash can right there, and you can stand right next to it to get great unobstructed views. The castle in the background not only provides a nice backdrop, but also some extra lighting into your shots in order to make them clearer and less blurry or grainy.
This is also a good spot to watch the day parade. Other good spots for both parades include right in front of the castle on the hub, facing the castle, and for the Electrical Parade, in front of the train station in Town Sq (with the station behind you). The station lights stays on during the parade, and again offers some lighting to help with those difficult night shots.
With the Electrical Parade, the second run each night is always MUCH less crowded, and is well worth staying later for to get those good shots. Dan :) |

The official Disneyland Paris website is reporting that Rapunzel will be joining the Christmas festivities this year! (Thank you to the Character Photos Blog for noticing this and posting about it!)
From the Disneyland Paris Official Site
Come and meet your favourite characters, who will be decked out in their
festive best, shake their hands and enjoy a very merry break YULE never
forget! Get tangled in a magical moment with Rapunzel, the latest
heroine from Disney Studios, who appears every day on the Royal Castle
Stage. And don’t miss out on the spectacular Mickey’s Winter Wonderland
musical, featuring a host of Disney heroes that’s a Christmust-see!
Sadly not currently listed as returning is Winnie the Pooh and Friends, too! which was also missing this summer... not sure if that means it has indeed met the same fate as several other shows recently and will not return or that it is simply not listed yet. Definitely looking forward to meeting Repunzel when we are there for Christmas season in November! Wonder if Flynn will be joining her (the princes often join their princess in DLP)... I guess we will find out! Either way, excited about this news!

Continuing my article from before...
(Click here to go back to Part One)
The Studios Park probably offers the best variation of "different" attractions and experiences, besides Animal Kingdom. Probably a day in this park is enough, with maybe that other half day being used for Epcot or Animal Kingdom.
I would recommend for sure the Great Movie Ride. Each ride is different depending on how you catch its sequence as the gun scene can happen in different places.
There are a lot of unique shows here, the best being Beauty and the Beast.
The stunt show is cool, but can be mind numbingly long. [ Read More... ] |
