196: Park Pals
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 :-)

195: TTPD
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.

We answer their questions about the preferred viewing area at DLP starting March 28th, and the top rides to do at rope drop in each park. We also mention the benefits of staying in a Disney hotel for early access to the parks. Additionally, checking the Disneyland Paris app for Premier Access options to skip the lines for popular attractions can be very useful. Overall, it's helpful tips for maximizing time and enjoying the parks at DLP.
