Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary Trip Report!
DisneyDan  Tuesday, April 17, 2012 8:34:07 AM
Hi all!

We are finally back from our crazy 9 day trip to Disneyland Paris to celebrate the launch of their 20th anniversary, and WOW what a time we had!
I'm sure a lot of you have been following our adventures on our Facebook page where we were posting regular character picture updates, as well as the two blogs I managed to make (here on the blog). We also were on Twitter, but I don't use that so much, so Facebook was definitely the place to be for updates!
To be honest I don't even know where to begin with how absolutely FANTASTIC the events were for their birthday.
Of course throughout the 20th celebrations they are running the new anniversary version of the parade, there is the character meet 'n' greet train with the VIPS in their special costumes, the BREATHTAKING Disney Dreams! show and the decorations and merchandise throughout the park.
But, the big day itself saw an unprecedented number of special shows and character greetings that simply blew us away.
The day started with Euro Disney President Philippe Gas giving a welcome speech at the foot of Main Street USA in Town Square.
After he had finished, he stepped aside from the podium and Mickey came to greet him in his new 20th outfit.  [ Read More... ]

Hi all LIVE from Disneyland Paris!

I wanted to share this picture with you of the awesome new Disney Dreams show at Disneyland Paris.
Of course, no characters involved, but this is way off the scale to not be showcased here!

We have seen it 5 times so far, and depending on weather, we should see it another 5 or 6 times in the next two weeks (including our second trip here in 2 weeks time).
We of course will have MANY more pictures to come of all our adventures, but wanted to share this for now :)

Be sure to check our Facebook page out as we have been posting a lot of LIVE character updates and photos there!

DLP April 2012 - Disney Dreams!

Hi all,

Last night saw the premiere of the brand new nighttime spectacular, Disney Dreams, at Disneyland Paris.

We weren't there (yet - 5 days for us!), but there was a live video feed of the premiere on YouTube, and  I can safely say without any question of doubt, that it is the most beautiful, tear inducing, SPECTACULAR show ever to be produced by Disney.

I absolutely cannot WAIT to see it Friday night. It is something really to behold on the screen, but in person I can only imagine I will be an emotional wreck!

I don't often get emotional over shows and the like, but if there is any reason to ever travel to a Disney Park to bawl your eyes out in joy, it is for Disney Dreams in Paris this year!

Here is one of the better videos I found of it - WARNING - this is the WHOLE show, DO NOT watch if you want it to remain a surprise! [Mac or Chrome users may have to refresh to see the video below]

(If you want to watch it in HD, this website has the same video, but in better quality.)

I can only imagine in the summer when they run FantIllusion, what a absolutely FANTASTIC nightly experience Guests will have. Nighttime parade into Dreams? Likely to be the best nighttime entertainment offering of any Disney Park world wide!

Dan.
