With the DVD of Disney-Pixar’s Cars officially released today in the UK and the attraction, Cars Race Rally, due to open next year at Disneyland Resort Paris, it seems a perfect opportunity for some early race car advertising, right? Well, tow me away, but they’ve actually done just that - kachow!

The new 2007 Resort Map has been unveiled to the holiday-booking public, spread across a double page in the new 15th Anniversary Official Brochure.

Update 19:08 GMT: Added artworks and “Minnie Disguise” series.
Yes yes, apologies that I’m a little late with this announcement, but then Disneyland themselves haven’t even found the time to post the pin releases online, and if you look at the newly relaunched official UK website there’s no Pin Trading pages at all! Anyway, I digress… the November pins!

Whilst official 15th Anniversary news has been fairly quiet for a few weeks, the 2007 travel brochures are still popping up and each trying in their own way to sell the most vital year in the resort’s recent history. For our fourth brochure, we’re taking a look at Thomas Cook Signature, which attempts to sell Disneyland Resort Paris holidays in a slightly more modern and upmarket style…

The final traces of the resort’s old 2002-2003 graphic design are finally being painted over.

It’s time to look at another 2007 brochure for Disneyland Resort Paris, to see how the travel companies are using the resort’s graphics, text and unprecedented new product lineup to sell the 15th Anniversary Celebration. A 15th isn’t usually a grand event, so these people need to make sure they work extra hard to convince the public it’s worth celebrating. This week, Leger Holidays takes the spotlight.

Did you know you can experience Disney magic without visiting a Disney Park? I’m not talking about your local Disney Store or the Disney Studios in Burbank, I mean those places spread across the world that, for a Disney theme park fan, can be just as magical as the Magic Kingdom itself; Such as the inspiration for the original Sleeping Beauty Castle - Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. Cross the border to Austria, though, and there’s a piece of history sure to hold a special place in the heart of any Disneyland Resort Paris fan - a place that can still take you for a journey through time…

“…Like never before!”
It’s one of the key slogans for the 15th Anniversary, and it’s already in use! Not in brochures, not in our 15th Anniversary guides… but in video! A press conference for the 15th Anniversary in Paris last Thursday saw the release of a French trailer for the celebration, showcasing all the events in 1-minute with vibrant blue slides and elegant greyscale shots of guests dreaming about the magic…

Last week, we presented the first 15th Anniversary brochure from an outside travel company, and took a look at just how well it sold the all-important 15th Anniversary Celebration. This week, we take a look at the first official brochure - the Disneyland Resort Paris Groups brochure, in French. Do they do a good job of selling their own celebration?

At the Annual General Meeting for Shareholders earlier this year, one of the key features of Karl Holz’ plan for Disneyland Resort Paris was improved marketing and online presence.

Following on from yesterday’s article about the exciting Imagineering bonus features on The Little Mermaid 2-Disc DVD, we’ve now got the chance to dive far deeper into this lost Euro Disney attraction. Kristof has had the chance to cap some incredible stills from the “Behind The Ride That Almost Was with Disney Imagineers” featurette, giving us a surprisingly detailed look at the attraction we thought we’d never see. If you’re trying to keep the DVD a surprise, or you’re likely to become enraged at how an attraction that looks as extraodinary as this was never built, you’d best stay on the shore…

It seems just days ago that Big Thunder Mountain, arguably Disneyland Park’s most popular attraction, closed for an epic refurbishment lasting almost two months. Whilst groans were heard across the magic kingdom from guests and fans, the iconic attraction breathed a sigh of relief as it finally got its first lengthy break in over five years, the results of which truly cannot go unnoticed.
