Welcome to a new edition! Last week was all about Lion King Land as we exclusively revealed blueprints for the upcoming project AND its attraction. But it was also the launch of World Princess Week, and of course we checked on ongoing projects.
Lion King Land
It seems not that long ago Disney was unveiling plans to build a Lion King themed land at Disney Adventure World and here we are with intricate details of the plans.
Our detailed article includes dozens of blueprints and 3D rendering, so make sure to check it out RIGHT HERE (and then come back)
World Princess Week
It’s late August and that can mean only one thing – well in the last few years at least – World Princess Week!
This year the offering of very meet and greet based but it’s quality if you are fan of Disney Princesses as the special meets add onto the existing Disney Music Festival program. In terms of additions, Guests can enjoy Minnie then Aurora greetings from the Sleeping Beauty Castle balcony.
The very first appearance of Raya in Disneyland Paris near Colonel Hathi’s,
And later in the day, Mulan at the same spot until 9pm!
Tiana in Frontierland,
Who came with carnival performer friends!
A super cool setup for Snow White, inside the Chaumière des Sept Nains shop!
Merida at the Frontierland Gazebo
Pocahontas near the former Keelboats
And Cinderella near Casey’s Corner.
There’s not a ton of specialty food or drinks for this project but the number of meet and greets kinda make up for it all. At the Disneyland Hotel you’ll still find some specialty cocktails.
A free activity book is available for Guests to enjoy these offerings.
As well as two collective cards available from Cast Members, while stocks last.
A fun time in the parks as always for this well oiled annual franchise celebration.
Treasure Hunt
The Adventure Isle caves have reopened! The area has received lighting upgrades (it’s sadly much brighter in some areas) and you’ll notice some added objects..
That’s because the new Treasure Hunt game has launched!
The game doesn’t use an app like some of its counterparts but has quite a bit of fun signage and objects to discover.
The area’s reopening also means that the Suspended Bridge has reopened as well.
Construction and Refurbishments
Painting and refurbishment of the Space Mountain show building continues – what a cool job that must be!
On Station Plaza, walls are back for another round of floor refurbishment.
Over at Disney Adventure World, more scaffolding has come down on the domes.
And it’s down to the final theming projects for the next few months in all areas.
At Studio D, theming has been installed around the new LED marquee – looks quite nice even with all the backstage buildings visible behind.
At Disney Village, window frames and HVAC is behind installed at the new McDonald’s which, as usual, is making great progress.
And the facade retheme of the Sports Bar is also moving along.
This and That..
Disneyland Paris has started releasing the entire remainder of their collectible spoon collection, themed to Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and Disney Hotels restaurants. €34 each. They are nice, if not very practical.
