As the days before the 15th continue to dwindle and the countdown gets into single figures, the forum has had another hectic week of news, discussion and opinion. From the completion of the castle makeover to the debut of Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade, it’s all go-go-go in the many lands of MagicForum…
The Resort
Disneyland Secrets
Preparing for his next visit, mstaft asks for tips about hidden secrets throughout the parks and certainly isn’t left disappointed - from Adventureland’s Le Rocher-Qui-Bascule and Maleficent’s red-eyed raven to Main Street’s dentist and the Thunder Mesa express pathway, Lordofthemightybeasts in particular is a fountain of DLRP secrets.
What are you most looking forward to?
With just one week to go before “The Year to Live Your Dream” begins, have you voted in the poll for your most anticipated 15th Anniversary event yet? fray101 votes for the new parade this week, which is still losing out to the Tower of Terror after 49 votes.
Return to former standards
Returning from a week in the magic, penfold12 felt overwhelmed by the resort’s returns to former glory, and asks “Is it just me, or are things getting back to the way they were?”
Disneyland GrandPrix
Bringing up bad memories of the takeover rumours of last year, Aaron posts an article from a Formula 1 Grand Prix website suggesting Disneyland Resort Paris as a good location for a new Dubai-style F1-themepark. Now we really have heard everything…
Wake Up Calls?!
Martha86 asks about the wake up calls at Disney Hotels - specifically, which Disney star gets the unlucky task of phoning around each morning. Is it always Goofy?
Disneyland Park
15th Castle & Park Decorations
The Character Castle Makeover is completed, and as everyone shares their views on perhaps Disney’s most popular Castle overlay ever, Masamune suggests the bird nesting at the very top be named “Zazu”. Well - Disney’s most profitable animated feature should be somewhere on there!
Grand Farewell Princess Parade !!
On the afternoon of the final performance of The Wonderful World Of Disney Parade, needmagic gets the ball rolling on some final fond farewells to the grandaddy of all Disney parades, whilst Poppy the Monkey shares his experience (and some photos) of the final performance and its huge, extra cast.
Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade
With the final goodbyes for the WWODP still coming in, it’s out with the old and in with the new, as raptor1982 of Photos Magiques presents the very first photos of Paris’ brand new parade… and the forum reacts, in true fan fashion. (And don’t worry about spoilers - there are only a couple of small photos posted in the actual topic so far)
Walt Disney Studios Park
Toon Studio placemaking
Just moments before the week is out, Maarten posts some photos by Scrooge on Disney Magic Interactive showing the interesting new style of the Toon Studio flooring - grey tiles and black tarmac, is this final? raptor1982 shared news earlier in the week that the floor would be blue, so it appears not. Also this week, the number 3 on Animagique is repainted blue like Studio 5’s - but not replaced with a Walt Disney Script version.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Is our “clone” Tower of Terror a bad thing for Disneyland Resort Paris? Shouldn’t we get something more extravagant like Tokyo’s gothic New York style? Join Quark and davewasbaloo in the discussion.
Studio Numbers
penfold12 asks the question every fan stumbles upon at some time in their life - just where is Disney Studio 4?
Trip Reports & Planning
Trip Report 11th - 16th March
A trip report and countless new photos from the magic by Dark_Prince.

Help with the Studios
Visiting in June, mstaft will have only four hours at Walt Disney Studios Park! Which are the must-see attractions, if you’ve already experienced Disney-MGM Studios in Florida?
Golf Disneyland Paris
The resort’s little-mentioned 27-hole golf course - davewasbaloo knows it’s expensive, but is it worth it?
Merchandise & Pin Trading
15th Anniversary Merchandise
The boutiques are filled with anniversary merchandise, so which pieces are you going to grab? Maybe you should be careful with the mugs, the decal on Dark_Prince’s is already rubbing away!
Your Disney Merchandise Collection!
More members share their own Disney merchandise collections, with lots of photos.
Imagineering
What could be the next park for dlrp?
Sigton asks what the resort’s 3rd gate could be, before discussion moves to if, where and when the project could actually happen.
International Disney Parks
[DLR] Pirate’s Lair at Tom Sawyer Island
The pirates are about to rampage over Walt’s beloved Tom Sawyer theme - a desperate fix for a tired area or yet another step in Pirates overkill? The overlay from a Paris fans’ point of view.
CinéMagique
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007)
The much-anticipated new trailer for the third in the Pirates trilogy is here! See frozen ghost ships, giant waterfalls, whirlpool battles and some brand new quips from “witty Jack” (both the monkey and the pirate) and then share your opinion on the forum!
