Extra Discount Voucher for Dream Passholders
Saturday, November 13th, 2010Christmas at Sequoia Lodge
Saturday, November 13th, 2010
What’s more perfect then the warm atmosphere of the beautiful Sequoia Lodge mixed with the joy of the Christmas holidays? It’s as if this place is build for Christmas! The decorations start outside of the building, but quickly transform the inside even more with all the beautiful decorations.
Christmas welcomes you from the moment you enter the building. Once you enter the main building a nice Christmas tree is setting the mood and continues nicely up to the counters where smaller trees and decorations are extending the warm welcome. Once you have a room key it will be hard not to go and enjoy the rest of the hotel first before unpacking as the Christmas thme fits so wonderfully in this amazing hotel. (more…)
Second time is the charm?
Friday, November 12th, 2010
Since we were talking about the (among fans so called) “Parisian Street” yesterday lets linger in this area a bit longer. And the reason for that is not only to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere - still take a look at the nice fall colors from just a week ago. There is also some work going on in this area. (more…)
Christmas at Hotel New York
Friday, November 12th, 2010
Sophisticated and stylish is something we expect from Disney’s Hotel New York and it translate very well in the Christmas decorations too. Nothing over the top, but just nice and simple Christmas decorations can be found in the main hall from this beautiful hotel.
Once guests enter the lobby they are drawn towards the beautiful tree at the rear of the hall leading toward Lake Disney. (more…)
Costumeing – now at Studio 4
Thursday, November 11th, 2010
The central costumeing building for the whole resort, where costumes not only for shows, parades as well as for regular cast members are prepared and stored had been integrated into the Backlot Tram Tour since the opening of the Walt Disney Studios Park in 2002. Still, since guests could not see it from inside the park (except on the Tram Tour) it was never considered to be “on stage”. This changed with the opening of the Toy Story Playland this summer… (more…)
Disney’s Enchanted Christmas at the Studios
Thursday, November 11th, 2010
You can already see the Christmas decorations at the front of Studio 1 with some lights, decorations at the shop and the transformed photo opportunity car to a real Christmas car, but the big lot of decorations can be found back inside the studio 1 building.
Inside Studio 1 you will find – as every year - tons of decorations on the walls and on top of buildings, including some “golden” trees on top of the restaurant reservations building, green Christmas trees on top of the Schwab’s Pharmacy building, Christmas lights against the many facades and Christmas tinsels enhancing the studios to the fullest.

EuroDisney S.C.A in the red – again
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010Today EuroDisney S.C.A. has released the results of the fiscal year 2010 which ended on September 30, 2010. Unfortunately the heading of this news sums up the results pretty well. However, a closer look reveals some interesting information which – in at least one case – may have a significant impact on the future of the resort. On first view the resort continued to improve its situation by reducing the net loss from 63 million Euro for the fiscal year 2009 to 45.2 million Euro for the fiscal year 2010. However, the positive impression of this number doesn’t hold up so well upon a closer look. (more…)
Disney’s Enchanted Christmas at the Disneyland Park
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Christmas has started at the Disneyland Resort and we have already invited you on a preview of it in the Disneyland Hotel and shown you some of the Christmas merchandise. With the first Christmas weekend at the park behind us, let’s have a look and some of the Christmas magic inside the Disneyland Park.
It doesn’t take long before you can see Christmas has arrived inside the Disneyland Park. For those that arrived on the Friday could still see the green fence around the Christmas tree at the front of Main Street U.S.A., but once you entered the park as from Saturday the view became unrestricted as the fences where removed overnight. The big tree is the first thing you will notice, it is difficult to overlook as it stands as a giant piece just in front of Main Street. 
Around it you will find a lot of smaller trees covered with snow on a snowy platform. Just in front of the tree you will see Father Christmas sledge. Or should I say Father Goofy, as it is he who welcomes the children at Disneyland dressed up in the famous red Christmas suit. In the evening the tree is the centre piece for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony where Mickey Mouse will turn on the Christmas lights during a beautiful celebration. (more…)
More Guests – More Turnstiles?
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
With the opening of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror the Walt Disney Studios Park received a first major boost followed by a second boost provided by Crush’s Coaster. However, the opening of the Toy Story Playland late this summer and the heavy advertising fireworks that accompanied seems to have finally put the second park of Disneyland Paris on the map for many guests. While attendance had been growing already over the past years since the opening of Toy Story Playland suddenly long lines are forming every morning in front of the turnstiles. Time to take action for the resort… (more…)
Construction for 2011 in Fantasyland
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
