5/9/2025
In this episode we are back with a treasure trove of Disneyland Paris insights — all inspired by a very special email from listeners across the pond in the USA. (Shoutout to our international Disney fans !) Whether you're a first-timer or just someone who enjoys obsessively researching the latest park details, this episode might be your new best friend. Think of it as a Disney trip GPS, but with more scope for bad jokes and fewer reroutes.
What’s on the itinerary?
- Getting there and being there: from airport hacks (TGV or bust!) to navigating the park like a pro.
- When to visit and dodge the crowds (hint: Ooparc is your new best friend).
- Dining decently: why some restaurants are worth the reservation, but maybe raise your DLP snack game.
- The scoop on Walt Disney Studios — because who doesn't like a peek behind the walls?
- Do-Not-Miss DLP attractions: from the legendary dragon under Sleeping Beauty’s castle to Big Thunder Mountain - just don’t miss your Premiere Access slot !
- Using the Disneyland Paris app: for the full experience don’t let your phone run empty.
Extra pro tip:
Beth’s official review of DLP coffee? It’s not as good as Joffrey’s at WDW — but hey, you take what you get!
So grab your mouse earphones, as we hope to turn your Disneyland Paris trip from “meh” to “MAGICAL!” Remember, a little planning + a lot of Nutella = the perfect DLP day.
Hit subscribe, leave us a review, and share the magic — because Disneyland Paris is for Everyone!

213: Star Walls
5/3/2025
Disneyland Paris: Where Snacks Meet the Force (and Occasionally a Ride Closure) – Do Not Skip This Episode Recap!
Join your favorite DLP radio transmission operatives, Beth and Marq, as they dive into the wild, whimsical, and sometimes "temporarily unavailable" world of **Disneyland Paris**!
Ride Roulette: Which attractions are open, which are "getting a magical makeover" (aka closed), and what’s coming soon? Spoiler: More construction walls than the Emperor's fortress.
May the 4th Be With You (And Your Stomach): We dish on Star Wars snacks, from lightsaber snacks (is that a churro or an actual Sith weapon?) to cookies that are hopefully not as dry as the dunes of Tatooine. Do not get too excited, DLP only has a Burger, a Macaron, and two (non-Wookie) cookies. Maybe next year.
The Great Wall of Disney (Studios) : Rides come and go, but the walls? The walls are forever. Or at least until the next expansion opens (at least 5 lion years.)
Disney Music Festival: Where else can you cry to "Let It Go" while eating a Mickey-shaped beignet? Beth and Marq debate their fave performances ( spoiler- nothing says "magical" like rodent DJs ).
Meet & Greet Greatness: Say "bonjour" to virtual queues for characters
Pass the kids please: Introducing a children’s annual pass—AKA "How to Bankrupt Parents in the Most Magical Way Possible."
Love Our Listeners: Real guests, real drama, real fun—"We waited HOW long for Crush’s Coaster?!" Plus, dining reviews that answer the eternal question: "Are these French fries legal to sell to Belgians?"
Final Thoughts: Despite the walls, the waits, and the ever-changing landscape, Beth and Marq remind listeners that Disneyland Paris still delivers the magic — there are giddy gasps between the gaping gaps.
Listen now before your next virtual queue slot expires!

212: Happy 33 DLP!
4/12/2025
It's the 12th of April 2025 and that means Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 33rd Anniversary!
To mark the occasion DLP invited InsidEars members to a special presentation with various announcements, as well as a tour of select World Premiere and Disney Adventure World construction sites. We were not there in person but recorded this episode on the day with all the information we could gather from our friends of the show, socials and Discord to bring you the Mufasa Shortbread Biscuit of news that is this episode. Yum.
We also have a Love Our Listeners letter from Brian who had a five star experience, and we look ahead to what the rest of 2025 has on offer.
Thanks for listening!

211: Goodbye Turkey Leg
3/25/2025
Join us for the latest snack and other important Disneyland Paris news, listener mail and messages, Beth's not-so-news segment and guaranteed chaos with an adorable cameo as we go mainly script-free on this episode. It's liberating, exilerating and yet somehow still entertaining. Well, that's for you to decide. We're just having fun with whatever DLP throws at us. Overpriced eggs. Construction Walls. But no more Turkey Legs. Yes, we face reality too sometimes. But then Beth pivot's right back to Superkitties. It's the purrfect addition to the DLP show roster, in her opinion.
This episode is brought to you by Blurry Churros: Are you Churro 'bout that?

210: Toddling Down Main Street
2/20/2025
Do you have to be bribed with brioche to walk through Disney Village? Does Peter Pan's Flight make you scream your head off? This could mean that you or someone you love is a toddler.
But don't panic! Beth and Vanessa will tell you where to buy that brioche, how to speed run that diaper change and a myriad of other hints for getting through your DLP trip with a tiny tot in tow.
But before all that, Beary Poppins makes an appearance in our listener mail section and friend of the show Ulrich weighs in on Disney content languages and AI stuff.
Our show is RSPCA approved* and we'd never hurt a goat. Really!
*we are not, but could maybe be. We are all super nice to animals.

209: We Are Humans, Dammit!
2/2/2025
Greetings valued listeners! We return with another episode dedicated to the DLP news drought and try to find human connection in the way we prepare, fill and present our show. Not an easy task, you say? Well there is hope, and your relationship with this podcast is more intimate and relatable than you might think! Luckily Georgina saves us this time with an extensive LOL letter and trip report, especially useful for all you expectant mothers out there. Fathers to be can also get some nuggets of interest.
Get involved! The future of this show depends on the You You Are!

208: Truth Bombs and Secret Plots
1/23/2025
Welcome to our first episode of 2025. We bring news of Big Thunder Mountain, Visa cards in the parks and and a delicious new meal offering.
Actually, despite the title, this episode has no huge "truth bombs or secret plots" - but those ARE some of the lyrics from our brand new, semi-official D2DLP pop song!
Here are the lyrics, if you want to sing along:
Marq Beth and Vanessa on the air tonight
Bringing Disneyland Paris news with delight
Twice a month they gather 'round the mic
Their podcast’s got the magic everyone likes
From Adventureland to Space Mountain's thrill
They capture every moment every heartbeat still
With voices full of wonder and tales so grand
They take us on a journey to that enchanted land
Dedicated to DLP we listen close
To every word that Marq Beth and Vanessa host
Talking dreams and pixie dust with flair
They've got that Grogus Podcoaster buzz in the air
From parades to those hidden gem spots
They're dropping truth bombs and all those secret plots
Walt’s vision lives on through their lens
Creating memories like old best friends
Whether it’s magic hours or a new parade
They paint it vivid in each escapade
Grogus Podcoaster rolls with style
Taking Disneyland Paris news with every mile
Dedicated to DLP we listen close
To every word that Marq Beth and Vanessa host
Talking dreams and pixie dust with flair
They've got that Grogus Podcoaster buzz in the air
(Vote for us if we make it to Eurovision!!)

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.

205: Details of Magic
11/14/2024
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:

203: Disneyland Past, Present & Future - Part 2 (with Disney DISCord)
10/7/2024
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...

202: Disneyland Paris Past, Present & Future with Disney DIScord - Part 1
9/30/2024
In this special Ears-only edition of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast, we have a fun discussion with Graeme and Bernardo of Disney DIScord, seperately also known as DLRP Roundup and The Mainstreet News.
Part 1 of DLP Past, Present & Future covers our chosen Disneyland Paris topics of the past, which include but are by no means limited to Le Visionarium, parades of yesteryear and a special magical song introduced for a previous DLP Anniversary. We think you'll find it a little nostalgic and possibly revealing, depending on your Disneyland Paris mileage.
Since this recording ran for two hours we've divided it into two parts, the next covering present and future topics, but you'll only have to wait one week for it to drop, not the usual two.

200: D23 2 DLP
8/18/2024
This is Episode 200.
We've had an illustrious history but we're not ones to dwell on the past, rather choosing to focus on the future. And what better way of doing that than to discuss all the announcements about Disneyland Paris coming from the 2024 D23 Expo in Anaheim. There's future dates, future lands, future nighttime shows. Some are near, some are far, far away, and not necessarily in another galaxy. What will be the main attraction next to World of Frozen in Disney Adventure World? And how exactly do you meet a Lion? Please enjoy our 200th Episode, and do keep sending in your questions, observations and trip reports. It's what keeps the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast going!

199: Cast from the Past
8/8/2024
Beth and Marq find time in their busy schedules to bring you a podcast episode which is nevertheless surprisingly rich in information, even if we struggle to answer some seemingly simple listener questions. We discuss the upcoming D23 expo in Los Angeles, have the latest news regarding Disneyland Paris, and Love Our Listeners makes a resounding return to form with 3 letters!
This episode is also an Audio-only version. Perhaps it's the nostalgia for the good old format as we slowly age into our furture 200th episode, or perhaps we're just refursing to be content-puppets for big tech socials, but fans of our pre-YouTube shows can bask in a familar setting (inlcuding Main Street bagckground loop music!).
Keep an ear and aye out for the next episode, as it may drop even sooner that usual, depending on what happens at D23 regarding DLP. No promises.

198: Cardi B's DLP Adventure
7/17/2024
In this episode, Beth and Marq talk about the weather. Riveting Podcast content people! But there's also Beth's upcoming trip to Sweden, and the dangers of swimming in the Seine. There's also mention of the possibility of an announcement for the opening date of the World of Frozen in Paris. No Guarantees.
What is guaranteed is spending money at DLP, namely the new access service for the Frozen musical Inviatation (15 euros per person), plus we discuss the Disney Enchanted Christmas Season, the refurbishment of the Boardwalk Candy Palace, and the maintenance and possible conversion of Hyperspace Mountain. Overall, it's an informative and entertaining conversation about the latest happenings at Disneyland Paris, including the possibility of reaching episode 200, Cardi B's visit to the park, the new line of merchandise for the 2024 Olympics (non-official), and our own business ideas worth millions. Dues to the lack of listener emails there's no LOL jingle this week, and we briefly discuss the Disney movies 'Wish' and 'Inside Out 2'. Very briefly.

6/27/2024
UNSCRIPTED! UNFILTERED! UNRE-FINED! We're back with another episode and thanks to Jen's extensive trip report and some true crime courtesy of the DLP AP Communications Department, it's a whopper! Would A.I. use the word "whopper" to describe a podcast episode? We don't think so! What else can you expect? Well, as you may come to expect from us, we bring you the latest Disneyland Paris news and speak our minds about it. In an adorable way. There is talk of Porgs and Ducks and Fort Comstock. Even Coldplay gets mentioned. The best part? It's entirely free! You get exactly what we promise you, no small print, no hidden agendas. We're not even trying to sell you something. Why wouldn't you subscribe to that??

196: Park Pals
6/6/2024
Disneyland Paris is promoting its values of friendship, respect, and excellence through the Disneyland Paris Quest 2024, a two-day games fest that celebrates fans of all backgrounds. The new Alice and the Queen of Hearts show at Walt Disney Studios is receiving mixed reviews, with some praising its energy and surprises, while others find it confusing.
In News, Construction work is ongoing at Adventure Bay and the expansion of Walt Disney Studios, with the addition of a frozen land, a Rapunzel Spinner ride, and an Art Deco restaurant. Disneyland Paris has renewed its cooperation agreement with the department of Seine-et-Marne, focusing on employment, training, professional integration, environment, sustainable development, housing, and transport. The Disneyland Paris mobile app now offers services like mobile check-in, digital magic pass, and digital keys for Disneyland hotel residents, allowing them to prepare for their stay and enjoy the parks without going through reception. Features include mobile check-in, the digital magic pass, and the digital key. We discuss the convenience and time-saving benefits of these features, as well as the potential limitations, such as relying on a charged phone.
Finally in Love our Listeners, Ulrich gives us the idea of connecting Disneyland Paris visitors to meet up and explore the park together. We call it DLP Park Pals!
Don't forget you can also watch this episode on YouTube. In fact, you should definetely see the first two minutes. Then just let it play in the background, it's good for our algorythms :-)

5/14/2024
This episode starts with an apology. That should be a fixed segment by now. You see, it's not easy being Podcast hosts. But we do manage to cover topics such as Disneyland Paris' environmental initiatives, upcoming events and shows, new scenes in sponsored attractions, and the retirement of Disney Dreams. We also mention a free cowgirl musical event in Disney Village. In Love our Listeners Beth and Marq discuss Nadene's excellent trip report to DLP from Down Under, who talks about the attractions, food, and accommodations she experienced during her visit. And suddenly we realize there not enough places to have a cup of tea in DLP.
