We've also got the scoop on some fancy new menus, including one item that costs more than a pair of Mickey ears… and it's not even a full meal! But consider all of that just the pre-show, because the reason we had to hit record again so soon is the plethora of massive, resort-changing announcements for WDS.

We're pulling back the curtain on the incredible transformation of Walt Disney Studios Park into Disney's Adventure World. We're talking a stunning new central lake, a breathtaking new nighttime spectacular that uses world-first technology you have to see AND hear to believe, and a magnificent new character dining experience that will have you dining like royalty alongside some of your favorite princesses in brand-new, exclusive outfits. After all that earth-shattering news, we share a wonderful listener mail trip report from the fantastic Cassy, who shares some hilarious and heartwarming tales from her family's adventure, including which rides had her kids begging for more and the one character encounter that didn't quite go as planned.

225: Princessed Out

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 Finally, Beth bravely enters the Department of Corrections to address a piece of outdated advice, thanks to a helpful listener, ensuring you have the most current information for your next visit.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

224: Halloween Guide 2025

Grab your candy corn and hold onto your jack-o-lanterns, because a spooky spirit has possessed the podcast! Welcome to a very special, extra-ghoulish bonus episode of the Dedicated to DLP podcast. The Halloween season has officially descended upon Disneyland Paris, and let's just say things are a little... unhinged around the studio. Our co-host Vanessa has unfortunately fallen victim to a tragic pumpkin-spice-related incident, leaving Beth and Marq to hold down the fort. And if you think you heard some suspicious howling at the top of the show, well... so did Marq. We're blaming it on haunted airwaves. We're sinking our fangs into all the news from the Disney Halloween Festival 2025. We'll give you the full scoop on the incredible, spooky atmosphere that's casting a spell over the park. We're talking about the charmingly eerie daytime decorations and the absolutely breathtaking, ghostly projections that transform Main Street into something truly spine-tingling after dark. It's a whole new level of creepy and captivating. We're also cackling about the incredible new immersive dining experience that has taken over Frontierland. This isn't just a meal; it's a step right into a classic Disney haunting, and the attention to detail is so good it's scary. Of course, no Halloween round-up would be complete without a tour of all the characters, the cavalcade, and the spectacular villainous show that lets the bad guys take over the castle each night. Consider this your one-stop guide to all things macabre and merry. Then, we stir the cauldron and open up a tomb-full of your incredible listener mail! We're answering your burning questions to help plan your magical, and maybe a little mysterious, trips. We tackle the great on-site versus off-site hotel debate for a spectacular birthday trip all the way from Australia. We also help a first-time visitor with her strategy for fireworks, navigating a hotel with a slightly... inconvenient detour, and finding the best superhero encounters for her little ones. We even dive into the best spots in the parks to let kids run wild without a single ride queue in sight. So, whether you're heading to the parks this Halloween or just wishing you were, grab a pumpkin spice latte, check your surroundings for any stray lycanthropes, and join us for a howling good time. It's our most spooktacular episode yet!

223: Pride and Pigeons

Dearest Listeners, Gather 'round, for your host Beth has returned from her adventures in the genteel society of Bath, her mind full of Regency decorum and an undiminished passion for all things Disneyland Paris. In this week's episode, the mailbag is overflowing with your splendid correspondence, and the news from the resort is enough to make any heart flutter. In This Episode: Beth and her co-host attend to the most urgent bulletins from the resort, including a musical revival that will have you marking your calendar for 2026, a truly masterful honour bestowed upon a legendary Imagineer, and the first-ever autumnal adornments for a certain royal residence. (Spoiler: It involves pumpkins fit for a palace). We then delve into your letters, which provide no end of amusement and thoughtful discussion. We engage in a most serious debate on the merits of staying 'in the bubble' versus the strategic use of off-site lodgings, sparked by a wonderfully detailed inquiry from a listener journeying all the way from Australia. We also share a delightful trip report from across the pond, filled with first impressions from seasoned Disney park veterans, including their thoughts on everything from the thrills of Big Thunder Mountain to the perplexing nature of the park's beignets, not forgetting the alarmingly proportioned birdlife ! Alas, our time is once again cut short by the clock, leaving letters from Nicole, James, Cassy, and Georgina for our next gathering.
