Dedicated to DLP Podcast #124 – Live From DLP: Halloween, Mickey 90, Food Fest, Jazz & PhilharMagic

Awesome!

 

These episodes are like buses at the moment - here's another



In this very special episode of our Disneyland Paris podcast we are joined by Peter Bell, who at one time worked as a Cast Member in Disneyland Paris. Hear about how he got interested in Disneyland Paris, what attractions he worked on, whether he got park envy and lots of stories about his time there. Peter is a walking talking encyclopaedia of Disneyland Paris, so you’ll hear lots about the history of the resort, things that went wrong and a tale about possibly the daftest family to ever visit!

This episode was always going to feature a lot about Ratatouille, but not before Captain EO, LEGO Store, Halloween, Christmas and Buzz Lightyear’s Pizza Planet in Disneyland Paris were discussed. Things started to get a little interesting as visitors from the future came on with some very exciting breaking news about the very Ratatouille ride Steve & mark has just been talking about!

Great podcast

 

We weren't due to record another episode of the podcast until next week, but with the impromptu What's New What's next event happening in Disneyland Paris, and so much news coming out of that, we absolutely had to talk about it while it was fresh on everyone's minds. We talk about the huge refurbishments planned, to cover all the hotels and areas all over Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios. We talk about all the new merchandise and introduce the amazing Disney Art on Demand. There's also news of a certain Disneyland Paris show coming back...

Thank you so much, Steve! We are traveling to DLP for the first time in just a few weeks. (Can't believe we just booked it last minute after all these years but got a great deal on airfare). Though we live just down the street from WDW I'm over the moon to be visiting a new park for the first time. Your podcast (and youtube and twitter) are so helpful! I hope you'll DM me if you ever need a tour guide for our little parks!

Thanks for all you do!!!

 

Thanks for those kind words - I'll be sure to call upon your services when I'm on your side of the pond



This week the Halloween season launched in Disneyland Paris with a combination of ghosts, pumpkins and a harvest inspired theme. There's lot to discuss, as Steve and Mark bring two schools of thought about this year's festivities, which include the brand new Mickey's Halloween Celebration cavalcade parade. Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast is the Attraction of the Week, which means all of you get to have your say, as you do when we read out your iTunes reviews too.
