Came across this very interesting video recently, definitely worth a watch. :)

I know this is veeeerry unlikely but, Paint the Night anyone? :P

I would doubt it, both Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland are tremendously successful theme parks, and today’s Disney wouldn’t make expensive changes for no reason, since both castles look fine as they are. If Hong Kong Disneyland had been as successful, I slightly doubt we’d be seeing them...

The full Disney Parks Blog article (I’ve highlighted a few of the key points in case anyone can’t be bothered to read the whole thing :P)

Going to be entirely honest here; that concept above looks very bland and generic, especially for Disney. I get that it’s supposed to be sleek and modern, but there’s nothing there that makes it unique or distinguish it from any other non-Disney modern, sleek hotel. However I’ve seen the other...

Those images look fab! Like many, I also wasn’t massively keen on the design when it was revealed, and although I did warm to it a little, seeing it all photoshopped together has actually made me really like the design. I read somewhere a while back that the new castle was supposed to take...

I think it works both ways really. Both Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland have a variety of attractions that could be considered better (or worse) than each other. DisneySea however is absolutely sublime and I think pretty much every one of that parks attractions looks to be better that...

I’d like to imagine at some point that that area will become themed to the Finding Nemo / Dory movies. It would make some sense, as then the Pixar area would be comprised of three distinct themed areas; Toy Story, Ratatouille, and Nemo / Dory. Just thinking, Animagic Theatre could host a...

A successor to Cathrine Powell has been announced today. Natacha Rafalski was revealed to be taking up the position (with immediate effect) of Présidente of Disneyland Paris in a press release today. Previously she had held the role of Chief Financial Officer since joining Disneyland Paris in...

I remember reading a piece from a shareholders meeting (a pretty long time ago now), that mentionaed the redevelopment of the Front Lot area. At that time the plans seemed to be the redevelopment of the Front Lot into a sort of street / square, and if I’m remembering correctly, might have been...

I don’t think Disneyland Paris will ever bring back Disney Dreams!. What they need to do for whatever (and whenever) they replace Illuminations is create a new spectacle with a similar substance to Dreams, something that will evoke the same emotions in the spectators. I’m hoping that after the...

This image has been released, a very first look at the boarding area inside of the refurbished Phantom Manor! I’ve put it inside a spoiler tag just in case some don’t want to see any of the changes just yet.

A few more details revealed in an interview today.

There has been a release of some official plans for the Parc Walt Disney Studios expansion. This information is sourced from ED92. Annoyingly they are very low quality, however they do confirm that: • Land themed to Frozen • Land themed to Star Wars • Lake with surrounding restaurants •...

I’d be really interested to know what will happen to Hyperspace Mountain though. I’d like to think they’ll bring back the classic Earth to the Moon storyline, much like most other people here I expect. Yet with the Star Wars overlay removal seemingly being pushed back further and further, I’m...
