    Speaking of renovations, the work continues on Big Thunder Mountain with the appearance of scaffoldings on the houses and the lift B.

    Meanwhile, the Phantom Manor tries to survive with more and more effects out of service. Its renovation after the celebration of 25 years will be a priority in view of its state of disrepair.

    New speakers have been installed. The entire route of the parade is reviewing its audio and lighting system to activate and evolve at the passage of floats. Thus, each pole (structure with audio and lighting) can be activated independently of others, in functions of passing vehicles.

    For the Bastille Day, the July 14, Disneyland Paris has proposed a new and wonderful Fireworks. The result is perfect. But we are still waiting the “La Marseillaise”, a bit of patriotism no would do too much harm.

    Disneyland Paris is currently conducting studies on annual passports with proposals for new forms including new pricing and benefits in addition to new variation. Those are investigations directed by Disney, but it reveals the direction that the company wish to go upmarket and the coming of the new CEO Catherine Powell is no coincidence because its former position within the Walt Disney Company Australia was to upmarket the brand in premium. You will understand, whatever happens the annual Passport evolve you in the years to come! Here is one many proposals for annual Passport in one of the Disney polls that we stuck to the currently available passport.

    Our opinion : it is too expensive and out of the European market. In the United States, the prices for annual passport of Paris would perfect but the opposite is not true for Europe. We must compare the comparable. the Annual passports of the two first competitors of Disneyland Paris, Europa Park and PortAventura do not exceed 185€! The good deal is just propose a passport Disney to €260 without benefits, except access every days of the year in Parks and the parking of the Park. Why? Like that, Disney removes less expensive passports which are not profitable to the Park and it offers an alternative between the surreal investigation and the existing passports. A single passport, at the cost of the European market and without problem of sale at the counters of the parks for multi-day tickets. And we don’t speak the lack of attractions (ride, street animations…) and of investments comparing Disneyland Paris with the American parks…
