Disneyland Paris Virtual Queue: How to Meet Characters

How to make sure you manage to meet characters at Disneyland Paris.

You Need to Visit Nigloland

At this point, it should be fairly apparent that one of my greatest joys in life is a good theme park. But more than that, I love a good weird theme park. Over the past few years I’ve been trying my best to get the big guns of Europe ticked off. Europa Park, Phantasialand, Efteling, […]

Let’s Talk D23 2024

So, you know when I say ‘D23’ I mean specifically the Horizons parks panel, right? That’s what we’re all here for! After more than a few disappointing years of parks panels and a promise of solid announcements this time, there was more than a little hype in the lead up to this panel, so did […]

Ranking the Theme Park Mascots

If there’s one thing that really makes a day at a theme park for me, it’s getting to meet a mascot. I know it’s a bit silly, but I find these brief encounters embody everything that, for me, visiting a theme park is about. Suspending disbelief and enjoying the pure escapism. For a moment, let’s […]

Disney Hotel Cheyenne: The Best Place to Stay at Disneyland Paris?

If you asked me which Disneyland Paris resort had the best theming, I might just say Cheyenne. Sure, other resorts may feel more real or grand, but Cheyenne? It’s just so much fun! (I say all this as an unashamed fan of the brash over-the-top theming at Disney’s All Star and Art of Animation resorts.) […]

My 2023 Highlights

I’ve thought a lot about how to do an end-of-year post. A month-by-month run-down? Best and worst? But in the end, I’ve settled on pure joy. So, without further ado, here are the absolute highlights of my 2023 season, the very best of the rides and parks I’ve experienced! And it was one heck of […]

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch is the cheapest of the official Disney accommodations available at Disneyland Paris. Located a short drive from the rest of the resort with no transportation provided, Davy Crockett also has the unique distinction of being the only resort where a car is required. For this reason, until recently, I still had […]

Spooky Season Round-Up 2023

As pumpkins pile up on the compost heap, and fairy lights begin to twinkle, it’s time to admit that spooky season 2023 is well and truly over. The most chaotic time of year has not disappointed this year, and I’ve been able to experience a whole variety of events, including, for the first time, a […]

The Best and Worst Attractions at Every Disney Park I’ve Visited

Wow, what a snappy title! Well, I wish I could have left it at ‘every Disney park’, but sadly I’ve only visited the western parks so far, with Hong Kong, Shanghai and, most of all, Tokyo still on the to-do list. But with eight Disney parks under my belt, I still have a few strong […]

Together on the Nautilus: A Disney Dash

When I planned a grand total of 34 hours in France, the mission was simple: renew my annual pass. This was all well and good until the week before I was set to depart, when the new Disneyland Pass was announced, the old passes withdrawn, and the renewal window halved to just one month meaning […]
