We moved to a faster, more reliable server over the weekend, and there’s more to come…

So far, you’re pretty much seeing an exact copy of all the pages, images and files that were hosted by our old web host. Almost every single one was copied across. Even so, you might notice everything loads that much faster than before with the same speed improvement DLRP Today saw when it moved here a few months ago.

The next task is to begin clearing out all the old and redundant pages from previous iterations of the website, then start afresh with more new Guidebook pages being the top priority, using the style we began to implement with the updated maps. New information, new pictures — and a lot of work, so thank you for your patience!

DLRP Magic!

Opening hours to the middle of June have been published, plus more Calendar updates.

Closures & Refurbishments

Note that Le Pays des Contes de Fées (Storybookland Canal Boats) and Casey Jr. – Le Petit Train du Cirque are already listed for closure right up to 2nd July.

Come a little closer… Step into the wonder… The grand daily parade is now in HD!

Enjoy our brand new high definition video of Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade, still just as much of a wonder to behold as it celebrates its third birthday today.

As always, you can download it from the video page in two formats — the Portable version perfect for iPods and yes, portable devices, or the Full version which looks great on your desktop or streamed to an HD TV.

You can receive these free downloads automatically, directly into iTunes, every time a video is added. Find the portable Podcast here or the full HD Podcast here. And then there’s our YouTube Channel, useful for streaming to portable devices on the move or internet-ready TVs.

As promised, we follow up our HD ridethrough with a look at the cute clock parade.

Now you’ve ridden through “it’s a small world”, take a moment to watch the fun clock parade which happens on the façade of the attraction every 15 minutes:

Lots more videos still to come!

Check out brand new, refreshed interactive maps of Disneyland Paris and its many lands!

Following the full update of our Walt Disney Studios Park plans, we’ve now updated the main resort map:

Map of Disneyland Paris

Just completed a full refurbishment of all six Disneyland Park maps (including removing the tabs from each land map to display everything at once, and adding Main Street boutiques and Quick Service dining to the park map for the first time):

And finally, added an all-new plan to complete the collection:

You won’t find better Disneyland Paris maps anywhere on the web!

Attraction closures have been updated for May 2010, with Dumbo amongst the list.

The classic Fantasyland ride will be closed from the 10th to 31st May according to the newly-published dates. It seems we say it with every closure, but this one really is much-needed. Hopefully a replacement for that faded circus canopy is on the way.

Closures & Refurbishments

Note that the Studio Tram Tour closure is now scheduled to officially end on 29th May. The official list also simply states that the two Storybook Land attractions (Casey Jr. and the canal boats) are closed in March, April and May. This matches with the sign placed at the entrance to the area which states it will reopen “in the Summer”.

Our interactive Walt Disney Studios Park maps have been given a new style and new attractions.

The hover maps, for the park and each of its four lands, are the first Guidebook pages to be updated in 2010 and feature a slightly revised page style that’ll hopefully soon be spread right across the website.

Of course, this is also a perfect opportunity to fit in a few new additions — alongside the classics like CinéMagique and Armageddon, we now find Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and RC Racer, taking the park’s grand attraction total to 17.

We’ve also changed the “Restaurant” and “Boutique” categories to “Dining” and “Shopping” respectively, with the Shopping listing split into “Boutiques” and “Kiosks”, to make clear which locations are real, walk-in shops and which are simply retail stands. On the land maps, the sometimes unnecessary tabs have been cut to show all attractions, dining and shopping at once, together.
