There's also talk of a Mandalorian and Grogu movie, directed by Jon Favreau, souvenir silhouettes available at the park and various merch items.
 
 However Love Our Listeners takes up the bulk of this show, with missives from Alexandra, Kim, Nadene and Don. 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.
 
Takeaways: Bob Iger is set to step down as CEO of Disney by 2026, and favourite successors include Josh D'Amaro & Dana Walden. Disneyland Paris is introducing a new show called Alice and the Queen of Hearts, Back To Wonderland. A Mandalorian and Grogu movie is in the works, directed by Jon Favreau. Staying at a nearby accommodation like the great apartments of NC Conciergerie can be a convenient and cost-effective option for visiting the park. It's important to be flexible and roll with the punches when things don't go as planned during a Disney vacation. The LoL segment of the podcast provides valuable information for first-time visitors to Disneyland Paris.  Rope drop Crush's Coaster in Walt Disney Studios Park and Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Park.

We start with a mysterious turn of phrase from Disney CEO Bob Iger, and continue with an observation from Marq about the similarities of a fireworks display in Castellón, Spain with that in Disneyland Paris, proceeding to the latest good news out of DLP (this is a positive episode!), with an engaging Love Our Listeners segment enhanced by Jen and Karla, before going down the rabbit hole that is the little information we have about the Alice & The Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland show which will start "in Spring" 2024.
 
Remember you can now also watch our podcast episodes on YouTube!
 
 

Even as Disney theme park fans we sometimes have to ask the inevitable questions.
A month after the reopening of Disneyland Hotel Paris, what are guests writing in the reviews of their stays? If there is an overarching downward trend in star ratings, what could be the cause? Where have people felt let down during their stay at DLP's most epensive hotel?
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. The cold open is all part of the show 🙏🏼 
Oh, and from now on you will also be able to see your favourite Disneyland Paris podcast on Youtube, one day after it goes out to all aural platforms.
Thanks for listening, feel free to subscribe, review and leave nice comments. Or not so nice ones if you feel we've in some way insulted the good people of Wales.

Hot on the heels of the Disneyland Hotel Paris re-opening, we welcome a very special guest who has not only stayed there but is one of the most prolific and joyous Disney vloggers of our community, Samar aka Sam4God! In a wide-ranging discussion we look at her journey as a Disneyland Paris fan, her in-depth travel vlogs including to Tokyo Disney Resort, and how she manages to keep briniging the content we all crave. She's open, honest and enlightening so this is one episode you do not want to miss!
We also have yet another edition of our fan-favourite segment entitled Pardon My French, because some corrections are in order, and then corrections on those corrections while the show is happening. It's been a crazy fortnight.
