    DLP, PSL & LOL

    Throw on your cutest oversized sweater and grab a PSL (yes, even if it's still boiling outside 🍂)—Episode 247 of the Dedicated to DLP podcast is fresh out of the oven! This week, Beth and Marq are jumping into the figurative pile of autumn leaves that is Disneyland Paris news! Things kick off with a little chatter about seasonal cozy vibes, before getting straight into a whole heap of exciting items bubbling at DLP. First up, we tackle the mystery behind that dramatic plume of dark smoke everyone saw rising right behind Sleeping Beauty Castle recently. Was Maleficent up to no good, or was something else brewing just beyond the park gates? We set the record straight! Plus, Halloween has officially taken over, and the resort has swapped out its old look for a much darker, moody Disney Villains takeover full of glowing candles, stained glass, and spooky details. Over in Frontierland, we spot some long-awaited signs of life returning to Fort Comstock, and we take a peek at the massive makeover ongoing at Disney Village—including new flagship shops and major restaurant revamps on the horizon. Then, it's time for our favorite segment: reading your letters! - The Ultimate Disney Dad: Listener Jonas sent in an absolute masterpiece of a four-day trip report. He shares brilliant real-world survival strategies for navigating packed parks with neurodivergent kiddos, navigating high-energy queue lines, finding the best quiet resort bars, and scoring the ultimate hotel shop delivery hacks. - Allergy-Free Park Days: We also help out friend of the show Paula, breaking down how to handle tricky dairy and nut allergies like an absolute pro at Sequoia Lodge and right across the resort. Ready to listen? Search for Dedicated to DLP on your favorite podcast app or head straight to our website to stream the new episode today!

    245: From D23 to the Moon

    Did you set a 4:00 AM alarm just to watch corporate announcements live from Anaheim? Beth certainly did! Grab a warm blanket, settle onto the couch, and join us for an unscheduled, emergency episode of Dedicated to DLP as we react to all the DLP-adjacent news from the D23 Horizons Showcase. While Vanessa was away, our brilliant pal Marq joined the hot seat to sort through what was worth the hype and what was just a late-night fever dream ✨ We are skipping the line-by-line news recaps you can find anywhere else on the internet and jumping straight into the deep end: what do these massive announcements actually mean for the future of Disneyland Paris? From the sheer scale of the upcoming Lion King log flume expansion coming to Adventure World to a brand-new daytime parade rolling down Main Street, there is plenty to chew on. But as exciting as those reveals were, nothing could have prepared us for the bombshell dropped about Discoveryland 🚀 When Neil Patrick Harris handed the stage over during the showcase, nobody expected an announcement that would send nostalgic shockwaves straight through the entire DLP fandom! That is right—the rumors are real, and a long-standing fan favorite is officially making its heroic return. We dissect every detail of the official press release, from retro-futuristic steampunk aesthetics to queue redesigns and the return of an iconic, remastered orchestral soundtrack. But it does not stop there. Putting on our cutest detective hats, we unpack a hidden detail spotted in the official concept art that could hint at an even bigger thematic restoration for Discoveryland 🎧 Is Imagineering quietly preparing to heal the land's narrative soul, or are these just wild fan-conspiracy theories? Plus, we tackle the massive elephant in the land (and we are NOT talking about Dumbo!)—what does all of this mean for the future of Autopia, and could a certain subterranean Jules Verne legend be waiting in the wings? Tune in to Episode 245 to hear all of our hot takes, wild theories, and quite a few bad jokes 🎆 🎵 Featured Music Note: Stay tuned after the show's outro to listen to the song "Always" by John Wiliams. Background Note: Among the music created for the original De la Terre à la Lune attraction, the main theme was composed by Steve Bramson and inspired by Williams in a grand Hollywood style. In the queue line and surrounding areas of the attraction, guests could hear a calmer version of the main theme titled "Impressions," as well as excerpts from iconic film soundtracks like Always, The Discovery, Krull, and The Rocketeer.

    The DLP Positivity Squad

    Grab your headphones, buckle up and hit play , because Episode 243 of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast is even more chaotic than usual! 🏰✨ We thought we had a nice, structured, professional script ready to go... and then Marq showed up, hijacked the third mic, and immediately  questioned the D2DLP team "Positivity Quotient." 📈 (Apparently, calling out "disgusting churros" and complaining about feeling like "human sardines" on past episodes means we need an intervention!) Despite Marq pulling out receipts of our past cynicism, the trio managed to wrangle the chaos and dive into some resort news, including :     • Adventure Bay Beats: A brand-new entertainment offering right on the water at Adventure Bay with songs so catchy they'll be stuck in your head for days.      • Carb Emergency in Disney Village: What's really happening with everyone's favorite (?) pasta-and-pizza pitstop, Vapiano?      • A Massive Community Win: A heart-warming, historic victory for ride details that every true DLP nerd will appreciate.      • Imagineering Magic: A major new documentary announcement you need to mark on your calendar immediately!  Over in Listener Mail, we're spreading ACTUAL positivity by helping two lovely listeners plan their dream trips:     1. The Multi-Gen Puzzle: Navigating a big family trip with airport transfer dilemmas, mobility needs, and park-hopping strategy.      2. 30th Anniversary Magic: Crafting the ultimate romantic itinerary with high-end Marvel hotel lounges, hidden sunset strolls, and table-service pixie dust.  We wrap things up with our favorite media recommendations—including a Pixar movie that accomplished the literal modern miracle of keeping a teenager off TikTok for nearly two hours straight!  Throw in some unscripted banter, a few cheeky jabs, and Marq's promise of hand-drawn  artwork (you've been warned!), and you've got the ultimate companion for your commute, workout, or gentle bedrot (but srsly, we hope you are ok ) So what are you waiting for? Head to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, search for Dedicated to DLP, and join our Disneyland Paris Positivity Party !! 🎙️✨

    Scorching Summer Survival at DLP

    This week, the D2DLP virtual studio feels like a giant pizza oven, Beth and Vanessa are officially melting and things are getting even more unhinged than usual.  While Beth barely maintains her sanity in France with the help of "Olaf" (her tiny, pathetic desk fan) and Vanessa tries to remain a functional human in the German heatwave, the duo is diving into the biggest news affecting the resort right now. We're talking about the unprecedented heat-related changes at Disneyland Paris, from halted outdoor attractions to fireworks bans and the very serious debate on whether Disney should offer a little "cool down" compensation for guests. But don't worry—we're balancing the doom and gloom with some major magic! We are so excited to share an absolutely epic trip report from listener Dallas. Whether it's dodging body-checkers during the fireworks, surviving the "freezer pizza" dining experience, or having a genuinely sweet moment with Phantom Mickey, Dallas's recap is the hero's journey we all needed. Plus, we're tackling the big questions: What do you do when your Pirates of the Caribbean ride ends with a soggy bottom? And is it possible to actually fall asleep in Phantom Manor? (Spoiler: It's a survival mechanism, trust us.) Grab a cold drink, find the nearest air-conditioned room (or a dark, cool cave like a sensible penguin), and settle in for our wildest (and hottest) catch-up yet! Got a trip report? A "wet-butt" confession? Send your stories to by email at dlp@dedicatedtodlp.com. We read them all!! ✨ Stay in the loop: Head to dedicatedtodlp.com for show notes and updates. Follow us on Instagram @dedicatedtodlp to see the photos of my tiny, pathetic fan, Olaf.
