I like the look of the new area too, it looks very starwarsy. At first I was a bit sceptical concerning the X-wing on top of the building, but now I think it looks so much nicer than before on the huge metal structure.
I like the look of the Discover the Stars merchandise. It looks like it might tie in to some of the parade designs as well Anybody know what the "surprise" being added to the Storybookland area is? I assume it's another movie...I really hope Peter and the Wolf isn't getting replaced by Frozen, but it's the obvious choice The switchback queue at the Vader meet & greet looks brutal. Hopefully the high-capacity facility will keep the waits reasonable, but it looks like they're prepared for the worst
The X-Wing reminds me of the Micechat lie about putting the Millennium Falcon on top of the old People Mover tower at Disneyland when Tomorrowland was going to be Star Wars land.
I have the exact same assumptions. I'm pretty sure Frozen get added. As for the merchandise, I read somewhere that a new book about DLP will also be released, but I don't know what it will be about.
I also really like the 25th merchandise. It's not ridiculously priced either. I'm so pleased I'm not bothered about meeting characters everytime I see the lines at meet and greets. I can't wait to see the park all spruced up!
I've read the same things. Apparently it's going to close at the end of March and be replaced by something based on Marvel. What a sad day!
Now I'm really afraid that ToT might get marvelized too with that ugly tower from DCA. Maybe they want to turn that whole area into a Marvel Studio land.
It would certainly seem likely. Although turning this side of the park Marvel themed is hardly a surprise I thought Cinemagique, TOT and the family shows nearby would be safe as Production Courtyard. This feels like losing part of the soul of the original park.
I can understand the logic behind turning those attractions into Marvel stuff, but I really hope they don't. Cinemagique serves as the park's mission statement, and is incredibly well done for essentially just being a 2D movie montage; it's easily one of my favorite theater-based attractions. TOT is an easy target for a redo, considering the condition of the building and the DCA redo, but I still don't think it will be a good fit. I wonder if negative reviews of the DCA version might alter these plans Of all the areas in all the parks, the south side of WDSP is probably the best fit for a Marvel land. I just wish it could be based on additional attractions, not redoing existing ones; it's not as if the park has an overly strong roster to start with
DLP has increased the prices of the Annual Passes. And instead of three, there are now four passes. [DISNEYLAND PARIS] NEW DISNEYLAND PARIS ANNUAL PASSES: TO INFINITY AND BEYOND…YOUR BUDGET. – ED92 I guess we will get MAGIC Plus in May. And since now we will get a 40% discount on Disney Hotels, we might consider staying at Disney again.
I I can't get the tables to open up big enough on my phone to see these properly, but the changes seem ok to me. I'd love to get an AP again someday!
I'm also fine with the prices. The DLP annual passes are still bargains in my opinion. We use one pass to go twice in the timeframe.
I wasn't aware you could pay monthly for APs. My first year of having an AP I visited the parks 6 times for several days at a time. It was a bargain!
I didn't know about the monthly payments either. From London it's pretty easy to visit DLP more often. I'm a little bit jealous ;-)
Yeah, but that was when I was young and had money to spend! I'm hoping to go in September and will consider these passes as I'm not booking a package. I'd love to have an AP again.
Some history about DLP with many construction pics, but it's in French. Euro Disney SCA : 30 ans de hauts et de bas (1/6)
Fascinating stuff. Although I've picked up on the Eurodisney story through the years, it was great to have it all in one place, especially with the focus on the legal stuff early on. I know it was a different era and things vary in other countries, but it seems like Disney got relatively little out of the French government in the deal; then again, of all the problems that have plagued the resort through the years, the government-backed infrastructure has never been an issue. The 30 year agreement also seems very short for such a big investment by US standards, where 99 or 100-year land leases are common I'm surprised that they were intended to create a business zone that would rival La Defense. I guess a lot of jobs are based around the resort, but it's still a big difference from the financial sector of a world capitol It's also interesting how much emphasis was placed on using French workers, suppliers, and culture. Although Le Visionarium fit the park well, I was surprised to see that it was one of the things specifically mentioned in the initial deal
