Don't Miss the New "Disney Castles" Exhibit at Disneyland Disney Gallery !

There is a new exhibit at the Disney Gallery at Disneyland, Anaheim! The new exhibit is all about Disney Castles and you will see dozens of WDI artwork related to the different Disney castles they've built around the world. And i mean all kind of castles, not only the Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella castles but also others like the Beauty and the Beast castle recently built at WDW new Fantasyland or the Little Mermaid castle at Tokyo Disney Sea, etc..

In addition to all these great artworks you'll be able to see the model of Disneyland Paris castle! And it's not that easy to see it. Those of you who have never been to DLP will be able to "turn around" the castle, look at every detail of it...and understand why it's the most beautiful fairy tale castle WDI Imagineers have ever built.

On the Imagineering video below WDI Imagineer Kim Irvine, concept and show design director will tell you more about this new exhibit which should last six months.

Disneyland Paris Update : DLP Best Wishes Introduces 20th Ann Show Disney Dreams!

Disneyland Paris sent its best wishes yesterday and they did it with this new animated short showing Mickey directing the awaited 20th Anniversary Disney Dreams! fountain show, with Sleeping Beauty castle in the background. I've said it before and i say it again: although most of the marketing material released by DLP about the Disney Dreams! show - including this video - show it as something as big as World of Color don't expect the show to have as many fountains as WOC. That said, i'm sure that DLP 20th anniversary show which is designed by Steven Davidson - a man who know what the words "fountains show" mean as he designed Fantasmic and World of Color - will be spectacular and very good and it will definitely worth your visit at the park during this 20th anniversary year.




In the meantime the Christmas season is still running at DLP until this sunday, January 8, and a new float with Duffy the bear was added in the parade, as you can check on the video below.




Also, until this sunday a new "magical moment" awaits DLP visitors in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle: "As the Royal Court opens the ball, the three godmothers accompany Princess Aurora and Prince Philip as they enter, passing through a guard of honour. The princely couple waltz in the courtyard while the godmothers, distracted as ever, argue about the colour of the castle. They end up deciding to combine their power, and with a wave of their wands, transform the castle roofs into a shining myriad of lights".




I remind you that you can now pre-order a copy of the Disneyland Paris book in its rare collector's edition! All infos to order a copy are HERE, or click on the link at the top of the right column.

Disneyland Paris Update: Return of the Dragon !

The Dragon under DLP Sleeping Beauty Castle is back and the whole place looks more beautiful than ever! DLP Imagineers did major enhancements on the lighting and the timing between each cycle of the Audio-Animatronic is also now shorter. Before, DLP guests had to wait a minute or two to see the dragon "wake up" again, and it seems that now the timing between the moment he goes asleep and the one where he wake up has been reduced.

I have beautiful pictures of the dragon with the new lighting for you and because it's Christmas time i have a little gift as all the pictures above and below shot with a Canon 5D Mark II are in "wallpaper" size and will do great wallpapers for your computer! Enjoy!












I remind you that my Disneyland Paris book is going to be reprint in its collector's edition and you can find all infos to order a copy HERE, or on the article below.
