    Mickey & Magician - June?

    Show times are usually released for the whole month just a few days before the start of the month. It's annoying as you can't plan for shows like you can plan for rides, which have planned downtimes on calendars months in advance

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    I booked for Feb 24 in September 22??? I wouldn't expect them to announce it together, but I just wondered if the delay (if there is one) is down to prevent guests trying to second guess the opening date

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Tickets and hotel stays are only available for the next 9 months or so, typically would always be 12-24 months out. So I do wonder if they are waiting for new announcements. If arandelle had 0 chance of being finished I am sure summer 25 would be on sale at least. They usually release prices...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Good article on Forbes on DLP finances; https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2024/04/13/revealed-the-disney-owned-theme-park-that-pays-170-million-to-use-its-characters/ Gist is DLP is more profitable than has previously been reported. Despite the Disney full takeover, royalties continue...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    So to summarise; Name change, which is 'meh', I agree it's not inspiring,not even accurate ('World' is misleading and 'Adventure' isn't innovative, maybe entertainment/recreation quarter/garden/lot would be more accurate) Apart from that, nothing? Some slight details on a new show starting...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    The breadth of attractions was ok we just found the lay out of the park horrible. It wasn't a particularly busy day - a Saturday and Sunday outside of school holidays and overcast, but the queues were insane and everyone kept bumping into each other moving across lands. We had merlin annual...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Ah yes I realised that after I posted. I love the soaring rides and there aren't many across Europe, and they don't seem that expensive to build?

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    So on April 12th there is an event for media and cast members to discuss the WDSP expansion (and maybe other projects) and they have invited an orchestra and the french signer of "circle of life" to perform

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    DLPs entertainment is pretty incredible. The random IP - stage show generator has thrown them a toughie this time but I wouldn't rule them out

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    The change from experience to land to me does indicate that they have scaled up ambitions, either because of $$$ or because feasibility studies on the land. People in those positions choose their words very carefully, a misspeak can cost millions in market cap. Maybe "Europe" means they are...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    As much as I support any reason for disney to price competitively, I don't think this stops them. There have always been cheaper theme parks with better rides I Europe. There is one (Alton Towers) half hour from me. Disney is the mix of rides with atmosphere and shows, nothing else can...

    Planning to visit for the first time - stupid question

    Pixar show really was great - good theme, great music and dancers and a really innovative use of technology - try to make sure you sit somewhere down the centre though. You don't have to be exactly in the middle but some of the tech doesn't work as intended if you are way off to the side. The...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Agree on Sequoia, it is a perfectly nice hotel. We stayed there this week (actually in the little corridor on floor 4 that has been renovated - wooden bits fell off a couple of times). Honestly except for location it matched DLH when we stayed there pre-refurb. There is a general lack of 5...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    It makes me smile when they talk about commercial strategy. As if they ever had a strategy to over discount or under price. They were maximising their revenues every year. Since covid they have charged more for less and to their surprise the parks remained full. My gut feel is this can't go...

    Planning to visit for the first time - stupid question

    On the last bit - I paid $15 for genie+ in california. Fast pass is that for 1 ride or €90 for a day. If I could have spread those passes over 3 days I would pay €90 (grudgingly), but €450 for one day for my family, and you would need to run around both parks and avoid shows to do all of the...

    Planning to visit for the first time - stupid question

    I used genie+ in california and found it good value for money. Didn't manage TS midway or Cars in CA but spent the day doing fun rides. I think we bought 4 passes for 7 of us and decided amicably how to use them (ok I know we aren't supposed to technically do that, but ages ranged from 4...

    Planning to visit for the first time - stupid question

    Brief report on my recent 3 day visit. All the shows are great but Pixar show is really amazing. Main park with temporary decorations looks stunning at night, less so in the day. First time at avengers campus and that was a good addition although smaller than I expected. We met spiderman as...
