I hope all the FL parks get this treatment starting with Epcot

Different mentality

You honestly think TDO would put moving walkways in all the parking lots?

These are great, glad to see DLP maintaining things. TDO should take note.

They hardly ever worked in the last couple of years

I wish TDO woul start by reinstalling my Space Mountain post-show moving walkway.

That’s why they’re being totally replaced (finally)

This was honestly my thought. In sum, they are just treating this as a cool submarine walkthrough and cutting the connection to an IP that they presume almost nobody remembers.

Don't like this approach as it could have just as easily been a cool submarine walkthrough with the tie-ins to the original film as an extra layer for those who do remember/like it, but that's the only reason I can think of for why they would remove basically everything directly connected to the movie.

There is a wild rumour going around that Sequoia Lodge is getting rethemed to National Geographic. I am curious if these changes are part of it. Otherwise the changes are baffling, especially since 20leagues is getting a new Disney+ serie/movie. On the other hand it would fit DLP's mentality of doing the opposite of WDC.

It has always been a problem from my recollection. We used to go about twice a month from 2000-2015. Thry were out a lot. It is nice to have them replaced and hopefully working all the time.

ED92 has all the details available, unsurprisingly, it's a big price increase:

ED92 | 📰 News : Disneyland Paris dévoile ses nouveaux pass

ED92|News : Ne parlez plus de Pass annuel mais de Disneyland Pass. Disneyland Paris vient de dévoiler sa nouvelle gamme.

€200 euro increase on top tier plus a ton of benefits removed.

We were looking at annual passes but by the time we also book hotels, it may be more cost effective to just get the hotel and ticket packages, I’ll have to do the math.

It's sad to see Tom Scherman's magnum opus to be completely ruined by "Imagineers". Imagineers like Eddie Sotto get emotional over this attraction due to its connection to Tom, who passed away shortly after this was created. I don't get this era of imagineering, it's like they sit in a room and think of the most preposterous idea and go with it. It's like they're actively always trying to out do themselves with making something worse. Sure imagineering has its hits, but there have been so many misses lately that it's not even surprising to me. Disneyland Paris is such a unique park and to rip away this attraction would be like taking the POTC away from Disneyland.

Maybe Imagineering is taking a leaf out of lucasfilm's books! Seriously though Disney does appear to be in an odd place these days. DLP sounds like it's going the way of the resorts stateside and becoming much blander

Disney has shared a video of a few props being prepared for Casa de Coco.

Pretty sure 1500 isn't record breaking for a drone show, there has been a drone show with supposedly close to 5,200

Perhaps it's a world record for most drones in a Fireworks Show, or something like that.

I just caught the whole performance on Youtube and it was an unbelievable show. Like, WOW.

Might have to go to DLP for Bastille Day next year.

My god this is so cool.

If they were to do this in the US parks for any holiday id be tempted to brave the packed crowds , sumemr sun and Florida humidity for something of such an amazing spectacle

Tempting isn’t it. Wait times in the day weren’t obscene either.

Most definitely, I was monitoring it a bit throughout the day, we're currently in Champagne so we were very very close to the parks! They've always done something special for Bastille day at DLP, I think it's high time we experience it live.
