Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

This is Episode 200.

We've had an illustrious history but we're not ones to dwell on the past, rather choosing to focus on the future. And what better way of doing that than to discuss all the announcements about Disneyland Paris coming from the 2024 D23 Expo in Anaheim. There's future dates, future lands, future nighttime shows. Some are near, some are far, far away, and not necessarily in another galaxy. What will be the main attraction next to World of Frozen in Disney Adventure World? And how exactly do you meet a Lion? Please enjoy our 200th Episode, and do keep sending in your questions, observations and trip reports. It's what keeps the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast going!

Beth and Marq find time in their busy schedules to bring you a podcast episode which is nevertheless surprisingly rich in information, even if we struggle to answer some seemingly simple listener questions. We discuss the upcoming D23 expo in Los Angeles, have the latest news regarding Disneyland Paris, and Love Our Listeners makes a resounding return to form with 3 letters!

This episode is also an Audio-only version. Perhaps it's the nostalgia for the good old format as we slowly age into our furture 200th episode, or perhaps we're just refursing to be content-puppets for big tech socials, but fans of our pre-YouTube shows can bask in a familar setting (inlcuding Main Street bagckground loop music!).

Keep an ear and aye out for the next episode, as it may drop even sooner that usual, depending on what happens at D23 regarding DLP. No promises.

Even as Disney theme park fans we sometimes have to ask the inevitable questions.

A month after the reopening of Disneyland Hotel Paris, what are guests writing in the reviews of their stays? If there is an overarching downward trend in star ratings, what could be the cause? Where have people felt let down during their stay at DLP's most epensive hotel?

We also have a lovely segment of Love Our Listeners where we even help a family from Down Under prepare for their Easter visit.

And don't worry if at first you think you've tapped on the wrong podcast link. The cold open is all part of the show 🙏🏼 

Oh, and from now on you will also be able to see your favourite Disneyland Paris podcast on Youtube, one day after it goes out to all aural platforms.
