Rats from the sewers of Paris have infested the new Toon Studio area of Walt Disney Studios Park. The infestation became clear during the press event to mark the opening of the new land, when… wait - these are just Pixar characters! It’s time to meet the newest members of the Disney character family, as Rémy and Emile arrive in Marne-la-Vallée.

(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.

Experience it as if you were there, in pictures and a full video.

(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…

The red carpet has been rolled out! The party is now, the celebration is officially underway!

Walt Disney used to simply say “Get them out there!”. If there’s one advantage Disneyland will forever have over any other theme park, it’s the Disney characters. “They are the greatest asset we have” he said. And apparently, the people behind the 15th Anniversary Celebration agree. We’ve been promised “more Disney characters than ever before” for many months now, but this is Disney - nothing is ever that ordinary…

More lovely concept art from the AGM, again courtesy of DCP’s Mouetto, this time focusing both on the stage, candles and characters of Candlabration (Bougillumination) and on the banners due to line Main Street using the Christmas fairytale illuminations. Plus, there’s a new group of ten characters who need to be seen to be believed!

Get a closer look at a turtle shell, a backstage look at a life-size Luigi and a brilliant glimpse at two dazzling new Princess dresses.

Tomorrow, 5th December 2006, marks 105 years since the birth of Walt Disney and the start of modern history’s most enduring phenomenon. And, with less than four months to go until the 15th anniversary of Disneyland Resort Paris, there seems no better time to start a new series presenting a little excerpt of magic from the resort’s history each week.

The life of a Disney Character performer - does it need a little livening up? You’ve probably seen the reports already of a video posted on the internet showing character performers behaving - shall we say - “irresponsibly” whilst waiting in a closed-off backstage area. Despite obviously being filmed at least over 10 months ago (due to the inclusion of a Snowman in the antics), the video only just hit the headlines yesterday. Slow news day?
