It does seem theatre at the hotels. The DLH is the only hotel I've seen it taken seriously. Although I've heard for Bastille Day and NYE they take it a lot more serious across the whole resort.

The values aren't contained enough I don't think that you ever could. They have a US style one at the Newport, I figured it was being tested last time I wandered through it.

Studio 1 is closed now. So you sort of get routed past it rather than how it was last year. The Galaxies Edge poster is gone now but it was there for far too long. The one at the side of ToT and the other at Cars Route 66, they're not areas that were ever open, so they're not a net increase in...

Oddly it doesn't really detract from the experience when you are there. The pictures online often show quite imposing walls and blockages. However on the ground it feels very different. The castle stage isn't well used. The hub has been the focus for many years. The storybook area at the back...

DLP is currently empty. The olympics have had very much the opposite effect. DLP's new annual pass strategy has somewhat bitten them too.

There was some sort of tech issue with them. The show was delayed 20/25 minutes also, while boat crews went to the barges.

A few drones fail every few shows, occasionally you’ll spot them on odd roofs around DLPs fantasyland the next day. So I don’t think they’ll appear above guests for a long while. If there’s bad weather - the DESP won’t run. It’ll just be Dreams, as it’s more of a 10 min pre show. That said -...

April 2025 I believe? The lake show I’m still betting is a version of fantasmic, they bought the barges from Tokyo. It could have a nice big drone dragon. If you haven’t seen - Bastille day had a mix of fireworks and drones that was very impressive too

Incredible effort!

Its there, apparently its the dirt from the WDS lake, two birds with one stone.

Paris is constricted on how many 'loud' fireworks shows it can have a year outside of NYE + Bastille. It has several credits it can use (and did use for the end of the 30th night). However it generally avoids using them if it can to be a good neighbour. Drones made a lot of sense because...

They do Disneyland Paris, Disney France, Disney Plus, Disney Europe - so I have my suspicions that it isn't Universal. Although I dunno if they'd negotiate themselves out of just working for both. That said - they developed and honed their craft by working with DLP, I can't imagine Disney...

Indeed but I understand it went under-staffed until very recently due to Covid. There are now basically drones in every Disneyland Paris show.

The company that runs the Parisian drone shows is called Dronisos and has recently opened an Orlando office ;)

Just for fun, the older Apple Maps, to the newer bing maps, does seem to show the start of a berm where the third park would be…
