Guests passing into the Disneyland Park the past weekend, using the turn stiles to the right of the main entrance (next to Guest Relations) passed by a long line stretching out of the small office dubbed “Donald’s Desk” next to the ticket booths below the Disneyland Hotel. Many of them wondered: what was that line for? After all, since the Annual Passport office vacanted the small rooms to move into the Disneyland Park and the rooms were renamed “Donald’s Desk” the number of guests frequenting it had become minimal. So what was going on there?
The answer: Donald Desk had been designated as pick-up location for free Annual Passport Francilien! Free APs? Yes! …[more] »

Even so Disneyland Paris does release soundtrack CDs from both of its theme parks more or less regularly – more frequently than the US resorts of Disney – unfortunately Vasile Sirli despite repeated requests of fans continues to ignore the huge demand for music from the attractions. Instead he continues to release nearly exclusively music from the various entertainment offerings (even so this means that CD releases are outdated rather fast) and keeps a comparable large market untapped. But every now and then the fans of Disneyland Paris get the opportunity to get their hands on official releases of music from the parks’ attractions despite this…
Bruce Broughton’s scores for Disneyland Paris frequently are among the top soundtracks requested by fans – after all these …[more] »

As of January 10, 2010 the a-la-carte restaurant “California Grill” in the Disneyland Hotel will be offering buffet dining only … however, luckily, only temporary till February 4th, 2010. So what is going on at the flagship restaurant of the resort, that after battleing a drop in quality earlier in 2009 only in the recent months managed to return to the top notch standards of a gourmet restaurant, offering international inspired haute cuisine?
It is not so much what is going on at the California Grill but what is going on at Inventions next door … …[more] »

2009 ended with two big bangs at Disneyland Paris. As in the past years both parks of the resort celebrated the new year – and thereby this time also the new decade – with a splendid, extensive fireworks display as not seen at any other day throught the year.
Both parks featured identical displays set as announced yesterday to the great soundtrack of “Believe in Holiday Magic” from Disneyland, Anaheim. While this soundtrack had been used in the past two years already, the fireworks display (in the case of the Disneyland Park also incorporating the lights mounted for the Christmas season on the castle) were all new!
Throughout the evening guests were park hopping between the Walt Disney Studios Park and the Disneyland Park resulting in manageable wait times at most attractions – slightly shorter in the studios, e.g. 45 min. for Crush’s Coaster around 7:30 pm. As a result of this the crowds along the parade route for Fantillusion while still considerable were much smaller than on many other high season nights. Interestingly Fantillusion performed only one stop (with the Villains’ section on Central Plaza) compared to two on the days prior – however that might be dye to the fact that entertainment also had to manage the nighttime performance of Stars’n'Cars in the Studios later one – a unique offering.
The studios were also the …[more] »

Imagine this:
You are sitting among intimidating looking pirates – armed with muskets and knifes, some of them have scars from their latest struggles in their faces or are even missing an eye – on board of a pirate’s ship. The dead eyes of an old captain’s skeleton, who took his place on board recently, are looking down on you.
The tension of the whole situation is getting more and denser…
and then…
and then the first tunes from the “Love Story” Main Theme are getting through to your ears.
Doesn’t feel right? …[more] »

New Year’s Eve fireworks were introduced at the Walt Disney Studios for the first time last year. And as last year both parks will receive identical fireworks. As in the last two years they will be set to the festive soundtrack of “Believe … In Holiday Magic” (on the programs listed as “Believe in a magical holiday”) from Disneland, Anaheim.
However, different from last year …[more] »

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.

There are very few things Disney fans like more than to stroll around Disneyland Paris on a cold winter day and enjoying the wonderful Christmas decorations. But after a while one often feels the need to warm up with a nice hot chocolate, coffee or tea. Disneyland Paris now makes wandering through the parks even more comfortable and offers guests a small hot drink for free in the afternoon upon presentation of a receipt that is handed out with every lunch bought earlier in the day.
The receipts may be used in several restaurants throughout both parks. A full list of these can be viewed on the voucher (click to enlarge). The promotion was widely popular early in 2009 and then (with a free cold soft drink replacing the free hot drink) during the past summer season.
As reported Friday Disneyland Paris has gifted one free Annual Passport Francilien to countless households in the vincinity of the resort. But what about everyone else? The resort came up with a special offer for everyone else as well.
