The Christmas Parade 2006

Chante, C’est Noël - Tis that wonderful time of year! The Christmas Parade, Disneyland Park’s hugely popular parade overlay for the festive season, began on Monday, just one day after it finished its run as the Disney Villain Parade.

Disney’s Bonfire Spectacular 2006

To celebrate the very British tradition of Bonfire night, Lake Disney at Disney Village is currently being set ablaze by an enormous bonfire and spectacular fireworks, all choreographed to classic music from Disney’s Fantasia. The three performances each year attract thousands of extra guests from the UK and beyond, so what’s all the murmuring about?

Christmas returns to Main Street

Chante, c’est Noël! Not officially until Saturday, but already Main Street has begun its transformation into a festive Winter wonderland.

Christmas Tree back on Town Square!

Breaking news just got in from Anthony who’s currently at Disneyland Park. It appears that the Christmas Tree has been installed again on Town Square! Management broke with this tradition 2 years ago by placing it right next to the castle, upsetting almost the complete fan community.

When Main Street moves to Orange County

Since we’ve already taken a look at this year’s Disney Villain Parade and the new La Cavalcade de Stitch mini-parade, it’s probably about time to look at more horrors from Halloween 2006, such as the decorations. Four years ago, the Creative Entertainment department lived up to their name with the creation of the Pumpkinmen - a bizarre, unique being that would run amock across Disneyland Park during the season.

Being Goofy needs to stop somewhere

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?

Ghoulish figures start to wake!

It’s Halloween-lo-ween already?

Recap article: News from 12th September 2006.
