Tuesday, 17th April 2007
(2/04/2007 - 20:00) Well, here we are. The end of another magical day at Disneyland Resort Paris. But the dream isn’t over yet - evening Extra Magic Hours have begun! For the first time since the trial runs in April 2006, Disneyland Park keeps the magic flowing for two hours more exclusively for Dream passholders and Disney Hotel guests.

(2/04/2007 - 18:00) “Keep your eyes open, ’cause this is gonna be one of the most magical moments… EVER!” Another article, another video - and another brand new entertainment production for the 15th Anniversary. Original, epic and, above all, magical - this is Candleabration, a grand early evening ceremony to celebrate fifteen years of dreams.

(2/04/2007 - 11:15) Sing along - “D-I-S-N-E-Y-L-A-N-D!” Do those letters seem familiar? If you visit Disneyland Park right now, you can’t miss them. Not on the entrance gate, not on the railroad carriages… in the street, meeting and greeting with guests! This is Alpha Bet You Are, a totally unique new creation especially for the 15th Anniversary.
Saturday, 14th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 16:00) It’s the official first day performance of Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade! We’ve already seen the two sides to the storybook dream just a day earlier, as the press enjoyed a perfect show at the cost of the general public, but, with the press departed and the sun shining, nothing can possibly go wrong… or can it?
Saturday, 14th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 12:45) “Attention! Le petit train des personnages arrive! The Disney Characters’ Express is coming!” With a *choo choo*, a puff of smoke and a frenzied pace, the familiar Casey Jr train rolls into view, with a gleaming new look and some very special passengers. Experience it as if you were there, in pictures and a full video.
Friday, 13th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 12:00) Their promise has been fulfilled! No, the characters don’t line every street in the parks, but with Disney Characters’ Express and a host of extra meet ‘n’ greets, there’s certainly more life in Disneyland Paris than usual. And so, we continue our stroll through the park from the Castle’s character statues to some real-life Disney stars…
Friday, 13th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 11:30) Fifteen candles for fifteen years! With the main anniversary launch events completed and the press faded into the background, guests are free to enjoy the fruits of the 15th Anniversary. Beginning a series of in-depth photo articles covering all of the initial anniversary offerings, we present the Character Castle Makeover - up-close and from across the park.
Monday, 9th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 10:00) Fresh from their premiere peformances and VIP events of the day before, the press assembled bright and early on April 1st for a special conference at Disney’s Hotel New York. With the first wave of new features already underway in the parks, it was time for them to get a sneak peek at what’s still to come…
Monday, 9th April 2007
(1/04/2007 - 09:55) The first official day of the 15th Anniversary Celebration begins under Main Street Station or inside Disney Studio 1 with an early indication of the party about to begin, as Park Guide maps for both parks switch to a new 15th Anniversary design… and one makes its future very public.
Sunday, 8th April 2007
(31/03/2007 - 21:30) As the last firework from the spectacular, “deluxe” Candleabration performance exploded, the press and VIPs were already on their way to the next - and final - stop on their busy day in Disneyland… an exclusive event and dinner in Frontierland.
Sunday, 8th April 2007
(31/03/2007 - 21:10) Well, here we are. The VIPs have mingled, the fans have waited, Daniel Powter has performed - there’s only one thing left for guests: an extra-special Candleabration, and an incredible, breathtaking fireworks display. Also included here is a photo tour of the new, illuminated 15th Anniversary Main Street.
Sunday, 8th April 2007
(31/03/2007 - 20:50) As daylight faded, the crowd buzzed and the press mingled. The park closing announcement invited guests to stay behind in Main Street, to join in the launch of the 15th Anniversary and enjoy a very special Candleabration. First on the spectacular evening line-up: Daniel Powter, performing two live songs on Central Plaza.

(31/03/2007 - 16:10) Continuing the trend for the 15th Anniversary to outdo all that has come before, a bumper motley crew of press and “celebrities” descended on the resort come March 31st, and luckily, for once, the “VIP” count almost outnumbered the “Who are they?” count…
