Catch up with all the latest news, discussion and DLRP opinion from the forums! This new feature - our “MagicForum Mélange” - is a magical mix of all the latest from the discussion boards of MagicForum, recapping the entire past week and including news and features we haven’t featured here on DLRP Today.

First up in the mix-up, news and opinion about the resort and its parks…

The Resort

15th Anniversary Fever

Anniversary fever spreads through the official topic for the celebration - first a single spotting of the TV commercial by The Butlin Boy, then the red carpet hits the whole of western Europe, with television and magazine spots from all over! Have you seen the red carpet rolled out near you yet?

DVC at DLRP

Do you think a Disney Vacation Club resort could ever happen at Disneyland Resort Paris? mickeysimzac has a keen interest.

Compared to America?

koi asks which attractions you think are better in Paris compared to Orlando, and which are worse. Can our 1992 Pirates still battle its updated American cousins to the depths of Davy Jones locker? Does the size of Walt Disney World give it an edge for you as it does metman, and do you believe “the quality aspect has been gone for about 13 years in Paris”, as jortlaban suggests?

What ride should never come to Paris?

The debate started by raptor1982 rolls on, with the latest suggestion for an attraction which should never appear in Marne-la-Vallée being… Splash Mountain.

Disneyland Park

Candleabration Bougillumination

The new official topic for this 15th Anniversary event has already brought up some interesting questions, such as - what will happen when the park closes before it goes dark? And what’s going to happen during Christmas and Halloween seasons?

Disney Characters’ Express

A new character cavalcade for the 15th - but which soundtrack will they choose? DisneyBud hopes for Dancin’, Masamune suggests some classic Casey jr music, whilst Nala_84 wonders if a brand new song could be created.

Space Mountain

Owain asks why exactly is the Paris Space Mountain so different to all the others?

Coin press at Disneyland Paris?

Does DLP have its own souvenir coin presses like Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort? After a bit of discussion, it seems they used to.

Walt Disney Studios Park

Toon Studio Project

Amongst discussion about the new colours of Animagique, some new photos from the massive redevelopment project, as half of Animation Courtyard is closed off to allow for new flooring to be laid.

Crush’s Coaster

Some brand new concept art and a sea of questions - opening dates, bubbles and props for the coaster…

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

The new construction fence decorations are unveiled and raptor1982 proclaims the new wall “the best looking construction fence in the history of construction fences”. But do we know what the “something” is yet?
