Season of the Force and More

Hello everyone, and welcome for the news of the week !

The France is now in a canicular period. There is a brightness so unusually strong, severals pictures were difficult to realise. It makes so hot and beautiful, we wonder how makes Cast Members to survive.

Main Street USA station still awaits the return of his “EDRR” medallions. And a nice Welcoming Committee awaits us under the station in playing Star Wars and Frozen.

Refurbishment of the facade of Ribbons & Bows Hat Shop until November.

Discoveryland… Yes, there is no doubt!

Discovery Lagoon has been cleaned and refilled and the the roof of Space Mountain: Mission 2 will be soon cleaned and repainted.

Space Mountain Mission 2 (and Pirates of the Caribbean) show the disastrous summer that is experiencing the destination. At noon, five minutes waiting for each of the attractions, while for large areas and attractions are still closed for rehabilitations. This sad score will not be inconsequential on the Resort for the coming months with the reduction in budgets in all departments. For example, with the rehabilitation of Studios Tram Tour canceled and rescheduled as a simple rehabilitation, while a new staging of the elements of the decors was expected. Restrictions that can even go into the programming of the 25th anniversary. Also some restaurants are now closed in view of the low number of visitors (ex: Pizza Planet). About Cast Members, if this crisis of visitors continues, the Park may touch the staff while hiring are currently stoped. We are in a classic crisis management.

Moreover, it allows to show that the company wishing to become a premium brand is not enough strong and army to sell a trip just fr the experience. This is seen by its lack of renewal of the offer with new attractions (in of news buildings) in the main Park since 1995.

Well, let’s continue!

The Pizza Planet Restaurant is closed. Besides the sign has been removed.

On the area of “Star Tours: the adventure continues” the scaffolds are being installed around the future meeting point of Star Wars characters.

This week the Park realizes its advertising for the 25th anniversary (start april 2017) and season of the force (from January to March 2017)

this is when we go to the castle that we remember of the work behind and especially mechanical crane allowing artists to perform their magic.

Adventureland, the Galleon is this time under scaffolding… but we secretly hope that the cracked mast and sails soiled by the climate will be replaced.

This renovation of Adventure Isle is not complete, because the part “boat wreck” located between the treehouse of Robinsons and the Galleon, hasn’t been touched during the rehabilitation of the island. The reopening to the public of this part of the island could be compromised.

Nothing to Indiana Jones

12 000 !

This is the number of Pineapple Whip sold by Disney in just two months! It is a very good score for a new product launched without advertising, on a single point of sale without special distinction.

Frontierland, the rehabilitation of the Big Thunder Mountain continues with the painters specialized in climbing, but also the return of rocks at the base of the isle, it designating the end of the renovations on this part of the site. Also some plants are back on the mountain.

A little tour of Walt Disney Studios Park ?

New in 2017: SEASON OF THE FORCE

Soon, in a future not so far away, Disneyland Paris will awaken the Force with an all-new and exclusive celebration of the Star Wars saga featuring live characters and stunning entertainment.

For a limited time only, in early 2017, Disneyland Paris will be gripped by the Season of the Force:

– The Walt Disney Studios Park will present a giant night-time spectacular, which will transport guests into the heart of the Star Wars saga. This show, only available at Disneyland Paris, will combine live entertainment, breathtaking special effects and an epic sound and light show projected on the Park’s most iconic architecture.

– Throughout the day, guests will also come face to face with heroes from the Star Wars universe. Encounter a patrol of Stormtroopers, face some of the most powerful members of the Dark Side or join the rebellion with the friendly Chewbacca.

This experience is guaranteed to dazzle everyone, from the youngest Padawan to the wisest Jedi. From 14 January to 26 March 2017, come to the Walt Disney Studios Park and let the force be with you with Star Wars, Season of the Force.

The place of the Stars is a great place for the night-time show of Star Wars on the Tower of terror (certainly an adaptation of the fireworks of the Disney Hollywood Studios of Florida). That said, the trees will significantly hinder the view during the show if nothing is done.
