Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast 5n3640

Hold onto your Mickey ears, folks, because Marq and Beth are taking you on a thrill ride through the latest Disneyland Paris developments, World Premieres (yes, plural) questionable naming choices, and Beth’s emotional breakdown over  some shocking attraction news (RIP, old friend).    Here’s what to expect:    * Abu Dhabi has ed the chat: Disney’s Big Royal Expansion.  There’s a whole new world rising in the United Arab Emirates, a Disney Adventure made for and paid by actual Princes and, we assume, princesses. Somewhere in the world where they don’t cry over spirit jersey prices. Beth and Marq debate: Is this Bob Iger’s final genius move before handing over the keys to the Kingdom?   *Studio One’s Grand Reopening: Now with More… Confusing Music? Back in our humble expansion park, Studio One has reopened—but now it’s called « World Premiere » (because Disney loves a rebrand). Visitors are loving the glow-up, but the music playlist?  A bit baffling, not that we are hating on John Williams.  Is it Hollywood glam or an overly modern muddle? You decide.    * Hollywood Gardens: Great Vibes, Meh Menu  The atmosphere? Chef’s kiss ! The food? The chef is not ready to kiss anybody quite yet. Beth and Marq discuss why this spot nails the aesthetic but fumbles the food variety. This place deserves more than fish burgers and star nuggets. But the dessert do look sweet!   * Disney’s Naming Conventions: What’s in a wor(l)d?  Park terminology. We’ve discussed this before, but why does Disney have  to reuse the same three words in every park name? Like, do you need a Premier Access to have a World Premiere Adventure? Send help !   *😱 Beth’s Heartbreak  Her most beloved attraction is (apparently) getting the axe, and Beth is not okay. Tune in for a ionate rant that’s equal parts vengeful and tragic. It is a sad day for quirk, whimsy and eccentric walk-throughs in Frontierland.   * & a Trip Report: We really LOL !  -When it comes to family trips, pack snacks, embrace the app, and for the love of Mickey, let the kids nap!   And - Flexibility is Key!  Plans are  just suggestions when toddlers and DLP mix.    * Shoutout to Our Sponsor: Easy Go Shuttle!  Need a ride to the magic? Easy Go Shuttle has you covered—because walking to Disneyland Paris from CDG is NOT the happily ever after you signed up for.  https://www.easygoshuttle.com/disneyland-transfers

Disneyland Paris: Where Snacks Meet the Force (and Occasionally a Ride Closure) – Do Not Skip This Episode Recap!  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 the kids please: Introducing a children’s annual —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.

It's the 12th of April 2025 and that means Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 33rd Anniversary! To mark the occasion DLP invited InsidEars 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!

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?

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.      

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!    

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!!)

Live on tape from Disneyland Paris this is the Dedicaated to DLP InsidEars Christmas Event 2024! Marq & Beth were invited to attend this wonderful gathering of DLP Social Ambassadors and we met and re-met some friends of the show as well as new friends.  Listen in on the parts we ed to record, and the parts we were allowed to record, and a big thank you to all involbed for making it such a special occasion.   Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

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 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.

We discuss the current state of attractions at DLP compared to other 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.

Beth is back! Perfectly timed to discuss recent developments at Disneyland Paris, including the closure of Fort Comstock (gasp) and the refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain (double gasp). We also help with listener Karla with her trip planning questions, providing insights on navigating DISNEYLAND PARIS during busy periods,  including the value of the Ultimate Exclusive Premier Access es, strategies for dining reservations. We also delve into the Halloween celebrations at the park, sharing our thoughts on the current state of events and character interactions, along with personal favourite memories from Halloween seasons past.

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... Let us know if you have any comments, insights or corrections even if we do have to issue another Pardon My French segment.

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. Let us know if you have any comments, insights or corrections even if we do have to issue another Pardon My French segment.

What’s Up everybody?! We’re back with another visually and aurally exciting episode (Subscribe) in which Marq and cornhusker Beth discuss their experience with making this podcast work for YouTube (Like). They also review Vince’s trip report to Disneyland Paris and play a rather revealing game of 'This or That' where Marq has to choose between two attractions, snacks, drinks or restaurants at the park. The Disneyland Paris news has a lot of love for Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland, plus Marq has some more tips for how DLP can improve their food offerings (Rate). If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our visibility algorithms (Comment) we’d be much obliged. Send us un email or drop us a DM on our instagram or Facebook feeds.   PEACE!

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!

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 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.    

In this episode, Beth and Marq talk about the weather. Riveting Podcast content people! But there's also Beth's 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.

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?? As mentioned: The Main Street Book  https://www.mainstory.fr/en   https://www.youtube.com/@Dedicatedtodlp

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 , 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 , 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 :-)
