Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast

Live on tape from Disneyland Paris this is the Dedicated to DLP InsidEars Christmas Event 2024! Marq & Beth were invited to attend this wonderful gathering of DLP Social Ambassadors and we met and re-met some friends of the show as well as made new friends.  Listen in on the parts we remembered to record, and the parts we were allowed to record, and a big thank you to all involbed for making it such a special occasion.   Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

In this ultra-engaging episode of the Dedcicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast, hosts Marq, Beth, and Vanessa discuss the magical winter wonderland created by recent snowfall at Disneyland Paris, an exciting contest for a free stay at the park, upcoming changes in Disney Village, and breaking news on a character meet and greet area. There's another Love Our Listeners with dining reservation tips from Georgina and we explore the implications of a new chat function for those reservations and delve into the recently introduced dynamic ticket pricing system, examining its potential impact on guest experiences. In a brand new segment we welcome Stuart from DLP Tips for Irish as he enlightens us on his  recent experience at the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass Christmas Party. The ambiance, character interactions, food availability, and the impact of weather on the event are topped by his tips for staying warm during the cold, cold night winter nights. Then, spoiler alert, he shares his impressions of the new Dr. Strange: Mystery of the Mystics show, highlighting its impressive production value, and what you get for your money compared at regular Disneyland Paris experiences compared to other Disney parks. We are ultra excited for you to hear this show, and keep an eye out for us on our next adventure at DLP on the 14th of December!

Do we have an episode for you? (Yes we do). We discuss all the just-announced details of Disney Tales of Magic, the new Nighttime Spectacular at Disneyland Paris starting January 10th, 2025. We discuss the current state of attractions at DLP compared to Liseberg Park in Gothenburg,  including ride operations and efficiency, and the potential impact of the new show on the Disneyland Paris experience including the limitations of drone usage. The announcement of the first-ever Disney Music Festival gets discussed, as well as the excitement surrounding the Disney Enchanted Christmas season. We also have a two letters from Georgina in Love Our Listeners, as well as a special voice message from her rather unruly buddy.   Don’t miss our special Christmas campaign in the middle of the show, in which we call for your generosity during these difficult times.    But the most important part of this show is the return of a very special person, an integral part of this show and one to guide us through the next year of developments at Disneyland Paris with her on-brand, on-topic opinion and insights.    By the way that beautiful piece of music is an arrangement of Magic Everywhere by Mike Attinger and you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9acVVpJ88 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9acVVpJ88]   Like so many others in the past week, come join us on Bluesky, we're very active there with a lot of other DLP and Disney parks accounts! https://bsky.app/profile/d2dlp.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/d2dlp.bsky.social] And we're also still posting on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/dedicatedtodlp [https://www.instagram.com/dedicatedtodlp] and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dedicatedtodlp/ [https://www.facebook.com/dedicatedtodlp/] and sometimes Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dedicatedtodlp [https://www.youtube.com/@Dedicatedtodlp]

Beth is back! Perfectly timed to discuss recent developments at Disneyland Paris, including the closure of Fort Comstock (gasp) and the upcoming refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain (double gasp). We also help with listener Karla with her trip planning questions, providing insights on navigating DISNEYLAND PARIS during busy periods,  including the value of the Premium Ultimate Exclusive Premier Access passes, strategies for dining reservations. We also delve into the Halloween celebrations at the park, sharing our thoughts on the current state of events and character interactions, along with personal favourite memories from Halloween seasons past. Ah, Main Street after Midnight, we miss you…

In part 2 of this special Ears-only edition of The Dedicated to DLP Podcast, we continue our wide-ranging discussion with Disney DIScord's Graeme and Bernardo about our chosen topics from the present and future.  These include the Insidears Social Ambassadors programme, an exclusive lifting of the veil about the mysterious EuroDisney Club by one of its members, the unexpected attendance rate during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the sinking of Big Thunder Mountain, the expansion of Walt Disney Studios and the opening of World of Frozen, the next chapter of Disneyland Paris park (with a special mention of Discovery's Edge and Grogu's Podcoaster), and how Casa Giulia will fit into the transformation of Disney Village. It's a fascinating chat and if you missed Part 1, you can listen to episode 202 before or after this one. It doesn't change the flow. Finally once again apologies to Beth for again not mentioning Fort Comstock, but we will deifinetely return to that topic in our next episode because something is afoot with the Legends of the Wild West... Let us know if you have any comments, insights or corrections even if we do have to issue another Pardon My French segment.
