Jolly good fun it is too - wonderfully staged, very charming. Over in Discoveryland, the other show with an annoying name - ‘It’s Dance Time… in Discoveryland’ - brought delights such as large, primary-coloured circles on the floor of a retro-futuristic land, and the expertly-chosen hits of Block Party Bash.ĭespite the show being considered terrible on every level by most who’ve seen it, the performers put so much effort and energy into their routine they each almost deserve a window on Main Street.īeyond the forced MMP hoopla over the other side of the esplanade, Walt Disney Studios Park gained a brand new attraction - its fifth addition since opening - in ‘Playhouse Disney – Live on Stage!’. ShoulderKids – this year’s must-have accessory The score by Vasile Sirli is actually plain fantastic (especially considering the lacklustre music in the year’s other new shows) and it provides a fresh, colourful heart for the year. Press and media types were schmoozed in spectacular fashion as new theme year Mickey’s Magical Party kicked off with fireworks, projections, lights and so many characters they couldn’t even all fit on the damn stage.ĭid it generate headlines, articles, media coverage? No.įrustratingly-titled new Central Plaza show ‘It’s Party Time… with Mickey and Friends’ initially looked rather like a drab flop on an overbearing and unnecessary new stage, but it has grown on most fans. There truly aren’t enough negative adjectives in the dictionary. The birthday cake, the jester’s hat, the Epcot wand, the MGM hat… you’ve met your match. Was it coincidence that updates here ended just about the time that Sleeping Beauty Castle succumbed to its most horrific, misguided meddling-with to date? If you’ve been similarly deprived of Disneyland Resort Paris news, given up trying to translate what they’re saying on the French forums, sit back and enjoy a quick and concise round-up of all the big stories of recent months - here we go! Just shows you shouldn’t go wandering into the Adventure Isle caves just before park closing… it’s been four long months! See more new pictures from the resort in the latest Photos Magiques update.We never manage to spot them in Disneyland Park, so why force supermarket chic on the Studios?īut no-one’s ever completely happy these days. Look closely at the Studios and you can also see them hanging from Art of Disney Animation and Flying Carpets Over Agrabah.
It’s the kind of thing you normally don’t spot - but once you do, you spot it every time. Yes, you see it, the round thing on the white pole, sticking out the roof of the building. This time, it has to be said that it’s a shame such lengths would be gone to for a refurbishment without that damn security camera being concealed a little better.
Last time we ended with an “unfortunately…” about the still-missing ‘Walt Disney Television Studios’ sign (which would probably be a finishing touch anyway). Pleasingly, the red, turquoise and yellow neon lights all remain. Most noticeable, though - the turquoise has become a warm red, matching the new kiosk next door and hopefully giving this corner a slightly more “1950s” feel. Where originally these were painted entirely in the same cold yellow with turquoise accents, now they’ve been given a less sharp main colour with a deeper yellow at each end, in the space where the neon lights sit. The latest section to be revealed is the round corner piece and its two striking Art Deco fins. Is it ready for the catwalk? Not quite, but it’s getting there… As discovered previously, this lengthy refurbishment spanning almost the entire year has not simply brought the façade back to its clean and crisp original state but attempted to “plus” it at the same time, with a wider palette of colours used to emphasise its features.
