Disneyland Resort Paris
When you’ve finally arrived at Disneyland Resort Paris, paid for your park ticket and stepped through those wondrous gates, you really want to make sure you take in every moment of the experience. Every moment. Best Toilets by disneymadchris takes this to the ultimate level — you know you’ve crossed the threshold into fandom when you’re discussing what the area music adds to your lavatory-going experience.
Do you have a dislike for birds? (And no, disliking Iago doesn’t necessarily mean you do, we’d all like to strangle him) Well, you’d better steer clear from several locations in the parks, according to Nath1992. Where? Find out in Sparrows.
It’s not just park guests aboard the newly-opened Twilight Zone Tower of Terror who are slipping into another dimension. Apparently Disney Village is, too. What else can explain the sudden appearance of trees and planters, now being finished off with proper concrete borders?!
Cher, Gloria Estefan, Tina Turner… not just any playlist, but the musical playlist of the Euro Disney Grand Opening TV special, broadcast across Europe and the US. Alan is looking for help to complete this magical early 1990s listing.
Rolling toward its first anniversary, Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade is about to be given several brand new dance units, confirms EPC source Poppy the Monkey. It’s reassuring to see that, rather than lose magic, this will be one of the first parades to grow in its second year.
Could the Fantasy Festival Stage building one day become nothing more than a queue area for a version of Tokyo’s much-heralded Pooh’s Hunny Hunt? Remco K. presents a clever home-reimagineering of Fantasyland’s British quarter.
Disney & Co.
A fifth gate? An expensive after-hours event at Animal Kingdom? Whatever your view of Disney’s Night Kingdom, this new, more personal Disney experience looks set to arrive at Walt Disney World sooner rather than later, attracting a clientèle more ready to dole out their dollars.
Despite its cutting-edge technological innovations, Japan’s population is rapidly ageing. And so, as Tokyo Disney woos elderly to Magic Kingdom announces, special annual passports for older guests have just been introduced for the first time at Tokyo Disney Resort. With several European countries beginning to experience the same situation, how long before Disneyland Resort Paris follows suit? After all, how many full-ticket-price over-65s can ride Big Thunder or Space Mountain?
Following Block Party Bash and Stars and Motor Cars, current rumours posted by coruscantpt suggest another Disney parade on the move Eastwards — none other than Disneyland’s 50th anniversary parade! Ever the resort to storm the party, Walt Disney World could soon be bringing the birthday bash to its Magic Kingdom as a proper replacement for its tired and oddly snowglobe-less current parade.
Imagine Simon Cowell meeting the magic of Disney… No, it’s not quite the same as Indiana Jones or Darth Vader, but the next new attraction scheduled for Disney’s Hollywood Studios is to be based on — and this is seriously no lie, if you haven’t already heard — American Idol, as the war against Universal Studios hots up.
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is entirely free of Goofs in Europe, as the brand new short film How to Hook Up Your Home Theater — the first true Disney short in over a decade, if not longer — fails to make it over the Atlantic. Will it ever be seen over here?
The successful Walt Disney exhibit which appeared at the Grand Palais in Paris a year ago is now due to appear in Munich, reports experiment627. The exhibition looks at the European influences in Walt Disney’s work, with endless beautiful artworks and special film presentations. In Paris, at least, the jaw-dropper moment was being able to see Walt’s Oscar and seven little-Oscars in person, won for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. If you’re in the area, or even if not, this comes highly, highly recommended.
Fun and Fancy Free
If you could be a cast member… what role would you play in the Disney show? Garrett asks the ultimate question.
“It’s official… Blu-ray won!” announces raptor1982, as the first format war of the 21st Century comes to an abrupt halt. With all-important Disney choosing the superior blu-ray format several years ago, you could argue it was over before it even started.
