This week, anticipation for the 15th Anniversary continues to grow and - despite what we would have expected beforehand - Walt Disney Studios for once enjoys an eventful and memorable 5th birthday week…

15th Anniversary Celebration (main topic)

Have you got your invitation to the party yet? If not, don’t be too upset - Riebi shares images of the clever mail promotion making its way to past Disneyland guests across Europe.

Disney Village developments

Another phase of work begins - perhaps one of the last - on the current Disney Village makeover. After the “fashionable” Disney Fashion makeover of Team Mickey, it looks like the old Grand Central train station facade of the Disney Store is gone for good. Can ‘Mount Disney Store’ survive the chop?

[Poll] What season do you like the most at disneyland?

The title speaks for itself - shell_ely would like to know which season is your favourite time to visit the resort: Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?

fly_with_me_dumbo is getting suspicious… Have you actually won anything other than screensavers and wallpapers through the Disneyland15.com contest?

Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast - at Europa Park?

The Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast topic is resurrected by swity, who shares news that Europa Park in Germany - reknowed for their Disney inspiration across the park - are planning to open an Atlantis-themed interactive dark ride, just one year after their rodent friends in Paris. The laser-gun system is hardly new, but the ride’s icon - a sea turtle - seems eerily similar to a certain upcoming Disney attraction…

Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade

Does size matter? With less than one week to go until full public dress rehearsals of Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade begin, should we prepare ourselves for the worst, or show a little support for the cast?

15th Castle & Park Decorations

Just one week on, and we’ve already got 13 statues and 5 pages of discussion - most of it absolute praise for the Character Castle Makeover, which has also been attracting some fans of a more feathered kind (and no, don’t worry, Chicken Little is nowhere in sight).

Candleabration Bougillumination

The first performance times for Candleabration are announced, and it looks like the candle illumination ceremony will be a stricly twilight affair, rather than full nighttime.

Happy 5th Birthday!!!

Come share your birthday wishes for Walt Disney Studios Park! The Butlin Boy gets the topic started, which has an even more positive tone than last year. It’s amazing what a difference a year can make.
