Disneyland Resort Paris
The world’s longest birthday party is about to enter its second year. Riebi shares a link to an alternate trailer for “The Celebration Continues… Big Time!” What do you think? An improvement over the ‘Happy Day’?
Have you ever seen all seven dwarfs together at once? No, nick84 isn’t investigating some elaborate hoax, just trying to get to the bottom of the EPC department’s character rota.
“Arrrgggghhh!!” That would be the collective scream from anyone just about to set off for the magic kingdom. Because, unscheduled and unexpectedly, Remco K reports that a Castle bridge rehab has just begun to finally repair the walkway over the moat into Sleeping Beauty Castle. Whilst the white tarps covering the works (on rotting concrete, apparently) might look like a disaster for your photos, raptor1982 shares some hints on how you can still get some ‘photos magiques’…
Have you ever heard of the Pop Corn Stage? Neither had member Its Just Like I DreamedIt, but it’s used on the latest show schedules. What next for Disneyland Park — Pin Trading Courtyard, Balloon Seller Square?
The Butlin Boy shares a photo of the updated 15th Anniversary decorations inside Emporium, whilst the rest of the forum discusses the merits of continuing the celebration and whether anyone can actually remember what the “normal” Main Street USA looks like…
DLRP Today broke the unexpected news that two High School Musical shows will be playing this Summer. Were you expecting the start of something new, and the return of something old?
Disney & Co.
At Disney’s California Adventure, they’re saying goodbye to the old and hello to something new — a brand new parade, reports raptor1982. But can you tell the difference? The Pixar Play Parade does at least feature recent hit Ratatouille to beat its Block Party Bash predecessor.
Ten years ahead of Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort is gearing up for its 25th Anniversary and Owain and Malin sharing the developments so far.
Over in Hong Kong Disneyland, they’re 15 years behind Paris and almost 45 behind California, only just opening their own version of “it’s a small world” — but with a difference — featuring Disney characters for the first time. Recent rumours now suggest an “it’s a small world” Disney characters overlay could be heading back to California. So maybe Hong Kong is, in fact, ahead of us all on this one?
In movie news, Brad Bird’s Ratatouille scooped the Oscar for Best Animated Film at last week’s ceremony. A spectacular new poster — possibly the final design — for Pixar’s next feature, WALL-E, hit the net in the same week. What do you think? Could it be the one to watch at Oscars 2009?
Following the success of the format in the Netherlands, both Disney Theatrical’s recent Tarzan musical and the reality TV talent show to find its stars are now heading to Germany. Riebi reports the Tarzan casting show starts this week, now looking for both Tarzan and Jane, with Phil Collins on the judging panel, no less.
Fun & Fancy Free
We have a Disney baby! Not DLRP Today’s words… the word’s of nicholas-c, whose aunt just went into labour whilst at Disneyland Resort Paris! The generous resort gave her a week’s free accommodation and annual passports for two years.
