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.

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.

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
