226: Disney Wanders19 Nov 202500:57:57

Hey D2DLP fam, Marq and Beth are BACK! After a hiatus that had the podcasting authorities on high alert, Episode 226 has arrived. You'll want to tune in to hear the dramatic reunion and the shocking truth about Beth's extended absence (hint: it involves agriculture and kaiju).

So what did we miss while she was off becoming a corn and apple connoisseur? It turns out, a LOT !

 Disney Village is undergoing a revolution, and we've got the inside track on all the new openings, temporary closures, and one truly massive McDonald's.

Then, our listeners save the day with incredible letters! We answer an urgent plea for help with trip planning during the winter holidays, as well as tackling a serious guest experience issue.

And just when you thought it couldn't get better, our favourite bird-oriented travel correspondents, Tom and Susan, are back with a brilliant follow-up that settles a international debate over a common phrase and provides shocking scientific data that proves, once and for all, that European pigeons are... absolutely gigantic.

All this, plus we have the ultimate resource for planning your Enchanted Christmas visit. Go to our website at dedicatedtodlp.com and you'll get the down low on the ho ho ho.

And don't forget- our friends at Easy Go Shuttle are ready to make your airport transfer completely stress-free with a special discount just for our listeners. Use our code 5D2DLP5 when you book with them at  www.easygoshuttle.com/disneyland-transfers

It's a packed, joyous, and slightly unhinged return to form. The show must go on, and it's so much better when we're together

225: Princessed Out20 Oct 202500:59:11

Welcome to Episode 225 of the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast. Our host Beth is back in the studio with Vanessa, but things are not exactly back to normal. After the harrowing werewolf incident of the last episode, a certain level of paranoia has set in, leading to some unconventional anti-monster preparations. Plus Beth has a startling new confession that could mean that the supernatural threats to the podcast may be far from over.

Despite the spooky season chaos, Vanessa is determined to steer the ship towards actual Disneyland Paris news. They discuss some tasty new menu additions and get to the bottom of some recent peculiar happenings at Walt Disney Studios Park. There are construction "updates" about Disney Adventure World and a sighting of a returning favorite on the Rivers of the Far West. They also cover a very quick, very sold-out new event.

As is often the case, there is an unforseen podcasting disaster that leads to a sudden lineup change- but no worries- Marq is on deck for a wonderful Love Our Listeners trip report, this time from friend of the show Georgina. Her adventure involves a royal quest, a touch of international drama, and a husband who is officially "Princessed Out".

Finally, Beth bravely enters the Department of Corrections to address a piece of outdated advice, thanks to a helpful listener, ensuring you have the most current information for your next visit.

The episode wraps up with a slightly unsettling feeling that the studio may not be as safe as they hoped…..

Happy Halloween, friends ! And if you are heading to the parks, be sure to check the official DLP app for park opening times, as they can change, especially during this season.

216: The Comstock Theories06 Jun 202500:50:40

In episode 216, Marq and Beth go full *National Treasure* on the mysterious closure and equally baffling return of The Legends of the Wild West in Fort Comstock—Was it budget cuts? Dust allergies ? Or just DLP's way of generating a bit of news for us poor Disney podcasters ?

At any rate, it's back now and Beth is going to be OK. 

Then, we pivot to other critical debates: the best (and *worst*) ways to haul your sleep-deprived family to DLP, and whether two days in the park counts as a "vacation" or a "cry for help." 

 

GEMS YOU CAN'T MISS: 

Mickey and the Magician:  The only place where "abracadabra" actually works - turning overtired parents into wide-eyed believers of Disney magic (for approximately 22 minutes). Even your teenager will crack a smile... though they'll deny it later.

Tower of Terror:** Free adrenaline *and* a life lesson in gravity. Win-win.

Soon after Halloween we have Christmas, and then in 2019 there's Pirates and Princesses returning and the newly named Star Wars Legends of the Force. Plus a Jungle Book festival for summer 2019? All this and so much more!

Episode 121 - Special Guest, Marvel AP Night, Disney Village, Iron Man Spinner & X-Files Alien Encounter10 Jul 201801:32:39

It's been a while since this guy was on an episode of the podcast, but he's back to chat all things Disneyland Paris. We had a lot to talk about too, what with the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass Marvel Soiree, Disney Village overhaul, Phantom Manor, the potential for Iron Man Spinner and X-Files Alien Encounter attractions. Oh, and Bart Simpson?

Episode 120: Marvel Summer of Super Heroes Review & Phantom Manor21 Jun 201801:27:55

A brand new season in Disneyland Paris and the arrival of Marvel in force leads us to Marvel Summer of Super Heroes, and both I and Geoff from DLP Town Square were there for the launch weekend. So get comfortable and listen to our full review of the season, with spoilers - you have been warned! We chat Marvel Super Heroes United, Stark Expo presents: Energy for Tomorrow!, Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance-Off, all the food, characters and those huge Marvel statues! There's also some startling news about Phantom Manor, International Yoga Day, Disney Loves Jazz and more!

Episode 119: Disney FanDaze Inaugural Party Review06 Jun 201801:22:44

This past weekend was the very first, as the name suggests, Disney FanDaze Inaugural Party in Disneyland Paris. Packed full of super rare characters, special shows, merchandise and much much more. I watched the 6.5 hour live stream but Mark was actually there, so it's a review from two very different viewpoints.

Episode 118 - InsidEars Launch Event, PhilharMagic, Phantom Manor, Disney Village, Halloween, Christmas18 May 201800:43:39

A massive night for Disneyland Paris, it's fans and guests as the InsidEars Disneyland Paris Social Club was launched over in Disneyland Paris with a convention centre full of invited guests and a whole lot of news to share with everyone. New shows, new attraction updates, new hotel themes, new food, new cavalcades and so much more. It's a whirlwind discussion of everything announced and what it means for Disneyland Paris, and us fans.

215: World Premiere Glam Up19 May 202501:00:26

Hold onto your Mickey ears, folks, because Marq and Beth are taking you on a thrill ride through the latest Disneyland Paris developments, World Premieres (yes, plural) questionable naming choices, and Beth's emotional breakdown over  some shocking attraction news (RIP, old friend). 

 

Here's what to expect: 

 

* Abu Dhabi has joined the chat: Disney's Big Royal Expansion. 

There's a whole new world rising in the United Arab Emirates, a Disney Adventure made for and paid by actual Princes and, we assume, princesses. Somewhere in the world where they don't cry over spirit jersey prices. Beth and Marq debate: Is this Bob Iger's final genius move before handing over the keys to the Kingdom?

 

*Studio One's Grand Reopening: Now with More… Confusing Music?

Back in our humble expansion park, Studio One has reopened—but now it's called « World Premiere » (because Disney loves a rebrand). Visitors are loving the glow-up, but the music playlist?  A bit baffling, not that we are hating on John Williams.  Is it Hollywood glam or an overly modern muddle? You decide. 

 

* Hollywood Gardens: Great Vibes, Meh Menu 

The atmosphere? Chef's kiss ! The food? The chef is not ready to kiss anybody quite yet. Beth and Marq discuss why this spot nails the aesthetic but fumbles the food variety. This place deserves more than fish burgers and star nuggets. But the dessert do look sweet!

 

* Disney's Naming Conventions: What's in a wor(l)d? 

Park terminology. We've discussed this before, but why does Disney have  to reuse the same three words in every park name? Like, do you need a Premier Access to have a World Premiere Adventure?

Send help !

 

*😱 Beth's Heartbreak 

Her most beloved attraction is (apparently) getting the axe, and Beth is not okay. Tune in for a passionate rant that's equal parts vengeful and tragic. It is a sad day for quirk, whimsy and eccentric walk-throughs in Frontierland.

 

* Feedback & a Trip Report: We really LOL ! 

-When it comes to family trips, pack snacks, embrace the app, and for the love of Mickey, let the kids nap!   And remember - Flexibility is Key!  Plans are  just suggestions when toddlers and DLP mix. 

 

* Shoutout to Our Sponsor: Easy Go Shuttle! 

Need a ride to the magic? Easy Go Shuttle has you covered—because walking to Disneyland Paris from CDG is NOT the happily ever after you signed up for.

Add in the new Art of Marvel Hotel room visuals, alarming Marvel Summer of Heroes character rumours, Tower of Terror chat, Extra Magic Time news, Cafe Mickey changes and it's fair to say this was an absolutely HUGE episode, full of Disneyland Paris news, rumours and your input.

Episode 113 - New Marvel Attraction, New Brands & Annual Pass Changes14 Feb 201802:14:52

I'm not sure there has ever been an episode with more official news from Disneyland Paris since this podcast started. Starting with the major announcement at the D23 Expo in Japan from the Walt Disney Company of a new Marvel attraction coming to Walt Disney Park, moving on to Bob Iger stating more popular IPs are on the way to Disneyland Paris, and there were some Annual Pass changes too. Of course what this meant was masses of feedback from all of you, which is the way we like it.
