191: Somewhere in Europe

3/9/2024
We start with a mysterious turn of phrase from Disney CEO Bob Iger, and continue with an observation from Marq about the similarities of a fireworks display in Castellón, Spain with that in Disneyland Paris, proceeding to the latest good news out of DLP (this is a positive episode!), with an engaging Love Our Listeners segment enhanced by Jen and Karla, before going down the rabbit hole that is the little information we have about the Alice & The Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland show which will start "in Spring" 2024. Remember you can now also watch our podcast episodes on YouTube!

190: What Went Wrong?

2/24/2024
Even as Disney theme park fans we sometimes have to ask the inevitable questions. A month after the reopening of Disneyland Hotel Paris, what are guests writing in the reviews of their stays? If there is an overarching downward trend in star ratings, what could be the cause? Where have people felt let down during their stay at DLP's most epensive hotel? We also have a lovely segment of Love Our Listeners where we even help a family from Down Under prepare for their Easter visit. And don't worry if at first you think you've tapped on the wrong podcast link. The cold open is all part of the show 🙏🏼 Oh, and from now on you will also be able to see your favourite Disneyland Paris podcast on Youtube, one day after it goes out to all aural platforms. Thanks for listening, feel free to subscribe, review and leave nice comments. Or not so nice ones if you feel we've in some way insulted the good people of Wales.

186: LOL Holiday Jamboree

12/18/2023
Christmas is nearly here and team D2DLP is keeping things extra festive with a deep dive into the listener mailbag. It turns out that people are in fact listening, and they have questions. Lots of questions. These include, but are not limited to: Where is the best fireworks viewing spot? What is a fun place at DLP for having a cocktail? What the heck is a jamboree? Why is that restaurant over there on fire? Marq, Beth and Vanessa answer these « burning » questions to the best of their collective abilities and also launch into an in-depth discussion of the new Brasserie Rosalie dining location at Disney Village. This restaurant stirred up contoversy among the team. Is a motorised chandelier really enough to qualify a place as "family-friendly"? Have a listen and decide for yourselves. Maybe the team can’t take you walking in a winter wonderland, but they CAN make you feel like you’re at Disneyland Paris, thanks to a detailed trip report provided by one of their top listeners. Jen sent a full accounting of her November trip and shares her list of pros and cons and even a top tip for getting though a long, cold, wet day at DLP. In this episode, Beth also says "Isengard" when she meant to say "Asgard". If anything like this happens again, she'll be promptly shipped off to a LOTR podcast. The D2DLP team wishes all their lovely listeners a happy and healthy holiday season. Marq, Beth and Vanessa will be back in two weeks with a 2023 roundup and a look ahead at 2024. In the meantime, please follow Dedicated to DLP on Instagram and Facebook. Or send your own questions, remarks and trip reports to dlp@dedicatedtodlp.com No actual country bears were harmed in the making of this podcast.

185 - Cozy Christmas Vibes

12/4/2023
Vanessa, Beth and Marq try to maintain the cozy christmas vibes during this episode of the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris podcast which covers some bits and uncovers others. We're being vague on purpose so as not to attract attention, even though Vanessa vehemently denies she and her 3-month old baby are spies. There is DLP news and we do indeed talk Christmas, so the title is justified. Send us an email at dlp@dedicatedtodlp.com if you know how to say "The Muppets" in French, and we will start a campaign to get them into the resort. You can now also follow us on Bluesky and of course Instagram & Facebook. For the full archive go to our website www.dedicatedtodlp.com

With Tokyo Disney Resort following in June 2024, a smaller Frozen land as part of their Fantasy Springs expansion, Marq and Beth carefully examine the evidence and weigh the possibilities against their own chaos of speculations. Join us on this ride through a wormhole and back as we skate the icy lake of predictions and opinion around Walt Disney Studios' version of Arendelle. Our pre-emptive apologies to the people of Scandinavia. There's also Disneyland Paris news and another edition of Love Our Listeners (L.O.L.) with letters from Jen and Ollie.
