Dedicated To Disneyland Paris Podcast

Disneyland Paris rumours a plenty - from the removal of characters from Cafe Mickey to rising Annual Passport prices, a new Star Wars season to Halloween Minnie and everything in between. There's also some actual Disneyland Paris news, like the Castle being painted, 25th Anniversary merchandise on sale, runDisney medals and a light up fountain! The feature of the show is a bumper listener feedback session as we posed the question - what one thing would stop you returning to Disneyland Paris any time soon? The variety of answers was huge, and chips!

In a rare move it was Mark that chose the question of the week for this episode and what a cracker it is too, invoking some great discussion about opinions from all of you. We learned a lot about Walt Disney Studios and what it means to guests of Disneyland Paris new and old. Before that there's a barrel of Disneyland Paris news and rumours to discuss, from the Peter Pan refurbishments to feedback from Mickey and the Magician, and a rumour that mark Mark brings to the episode at the last minute. We also introduce a new part of the podcast: Mailbag (or was it Mailbox?) A stacked episode as ever, so enjoy!

Mark is back to join Steve in discussing the latest rumours that have surfaced about the 25th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris that kicks off in 2017. Before the feature discussion there's lots of news and more rumours to chat about - refurbishment updates, Princess Pavilion improvements, the next stage in the Pineapple Whip saga, Star Wars Mountain and more! Plus all the feedback from you lovely listeners too.

With new Disneyland Paris CEO Catherine Powell due to start in July, we put the question to you listeners - what should Catherine concentrate on first, what problems should she tackle?

As usual all the latest Disneyland Paris news and rumours was discussed too - renovated Hotel Cheyenne rooms, Pineapple Whip, Euro 2016, pasta and pizza, blinking Mickey Mouse and much more.

In May 1977 the very first Star Wars film was released, and episode 77 of the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast brings you an interview with YouTube sensation Ellie Steadman, who I was at the Star Tours: Last Tour to Endor with.

In 2009 Sylvia Woods Har published a book called 76 Disney Songs for the Harp, but far more interesting than that is Episode 76 of the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast, with a ton of news and rumours about Star Tours, Forest of Enchantment, Mickey and the Magician, new menus at Lucky Nugget Saloon and Walt's and the price increases that rocked the internet! We also have a new restaurant and film festival on the way - both in the next 2 months. The second half of the show is all questions from you, in a very interesting round of Ask Us Anything!

We have lots of answers from all you, and some opinions of our own, of course.

Tuesday morning, April 12th 2016, was not just the 24th birthday of Disneyland Paris, but the morning we got news that rocked the Disneyland Paris community. Less than 2 years into his tenure as CEA, Tom Wolber would be leaving, and in his place we would welcome Catherine Powell. We discus how Tom did, what Catherine brings to the table, and what this could mean for Disneyland Paris, with input from our lovely listeners too.

No longer in Disneyland Paris, Steve and Mark discuss the week's news, which included a few price hikes, a new hotel rumour and a continuation of the great breakfast debate! Then it was over to you, the lovely listeners, as we challenged you to suggest a film that is under-represented in Disneyland Paris and how you would like to see more of it - an attraction, character, hotel or whatever you wanted. Because we had so much feedback it's a bumper show, and that's with us having to be selective about which answers to read out and discuss. Further proof that we have the best podcast listeners in the world.
