Test a Disney Dream

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Disneyland has started testing the new “Disney Dreams” Show, the show especially created for the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris, inside the park. The test includes the show, that will be projected on the castle, and the new music. It’s not know if all show elements are already included in this first test phase, but one can expect if not all elements are there yet more and more to be added until the full show can take place.

Those test are taking place during afterhours with no general public in the park, but if you are staying at the Disneyland hotel the coming months you might see a little more of the magic before the premiere.

Especially those staying at the Castle Club level will be able to see a little early “Disney Dreams” magic. The show itself will be part of the new Disneyland Paris programme that will officially start as from April 1st. The night time show “Disney Dreams” will be filled with Disney characters that are being projected on the castle. But that’s only the beginning of what looks like an amazing display of Disney magic. There will be tons of other projections on the castle and on water screens in front of it. There will be water fountains and fire, an amazing new music score and a collection of other surprises.

Disney is starting to share some official information about the show via a new video they posted on the web. Here you’ll see the Imagineers, including Steven Davison (creator of Disneyland’s World of Color in Anaheim), whom worked on the show talking about what to expect. The video already shows some of the projections, including a scene with Peter Pan (what is rumoured to be the opening scene), pyrotechnics, fire effects, water fountains and even a short Mickey Mouse teaser. A very nice preview for those fans that can’t wait.

Also in the video is some information about the new “Disney Magic on Parade!” Disneyland Resort will get. The new floats include a Castle float, horse carriages with princesses and a fantastic looking final float celebrating the 20 years of Disney magic in Paris. There are also some pictures included in the video with the Disney characters and their new costumes they will wear during the festivities. They are very colourful and look like fun, especially Goofy’s green outfit can’t be missed.

Only a couple of months left before we can enjoy this amazing looking show for Disneyland Paris 20th anniversary celebration. Not to be missed!

BIG and small (UPDATED)

Friday, May 13th, 2011

20110512-223622.jpgEven so our coverage of the various refurbishment projects currently taking place at the resort in preparation for next year’s 20th anniversary mostly concentrates on the big, high-profile projects (e.g. the current rehab of Orbitron) there are numerous small regurbishments going-on across the resort at any given time. For example right now one of the small bridges of the meandering paths connecting the various outdoor areas of the Cafe de la Brousse in Adventureland has been closed off for one of the smaller refurbishment projects.

UPDATE:
20110514-000052.jpgIt is as if the small rehab next to the Cafe de la Brousse was set up as a perfect example for us to demonstrate the small & swift rehabs that pop up in the resort and are finished just as fast as they appeared. Where Thursday the rehab was executed the work was already finished and the two pieces of construction fence blocking the access had disappeared by Friday – as seen in the new photo by InsideDLParis.

Are you a proud owner of one of the millions of iPhones? Then reading the latest news and rumors from Disneyland Paris just became even more comfortable! When visiting the DLP.info News Blog users of the iPhone will automatically be directed to an iPhone specific version of the blog which allows for fast and easy access to all posts in the iPhone-typic design. And the best: the new design reduces the amount of data that needs to be downloaded for each page of the DLP.info News Blog to your iPhone. This is in particular the case for the frontpage as the content displayed for each post is shortened. Especially when accessing the blog via the 3G network (and maybe even outside your home network while roaming internationally) this can drastically reduce the costs incurred. (more…)

A Pool with No Water

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Sequoia Lodge Swimming PoolAs planned the pool at the Sequoia Lodge has been closed for some major work. The pool is completely drained of all its water and inside the big basin scaffolding is rising up. The biggest job will be adding new insulation inside the building. This will be done with special insulation materials delivered by the company Eurocoustic. This company specialises in acoustic insulation and will also improve the noise level inside the building.

Sequoia Lodge Swimming PoolSequoia Lodge Swimming PoolFor those guests that want to go for a swim during their visit can use an alternative pool in one of the other Disneyland Paris Hotels. A notification at the pool is making sure guests are aware of this possibility.

For more information on the other hotel pools and their opening times make sure to visit the concierge of the Sequoia Lodge first to avoid disappointment in case one of these would be closed too.
