Last week’s introduction of Photography Friday seemed to be enjoyed so I thought I would try it again while DC is still busy with that thing called work. As anyone who is connected into the Disney community is most likely aware, Disneyland Paris turned 20 years old this week. The …
April 1st marked the beginning of Disneyland Paris’ celebration of its 20th anniversary. A highlight in this celebration is undoubtedly Disney Dreams.

You may recall hearing fireworks and confetti going off in my little blogging corner at Christmastime, when my better-half surprised me on Christmas morning with a trip to Disneyland Paris. Between one thing and another, I had not had the opportunity to visit the Parks since March 2010, and I …
Now that the main event is over and I, for one, now bear more than a passing resemblance to the stuffed turkey, I hope that each and every one of you is still enjoying a very merry holiday season! Being a bit of a Christmas fairy at heart, I always …

Has Christmas come early this year? Not quite, but there is certainly an extra sprinkle of sparkle in the air. Disneyland Paris turns the big two-oh in 2012, and while we have been eagerly anticipating its 20th Anniversary celebrations for months now, the official e-brochure has finally been released! And …
BOO! Halloween is here, and Disneyland Paris has embraced this spookiest of seasons with open arms. Visitors to the Park negotiate a plethora of pumpkins, villains and dastardly deeds, as Princesses bow down to Pumpkinmen and the Castle resounds with cackles… The Halloweenmosphere abounds throughout the Park, where Mickey …
On this site July 17, 1805 the Swiss Family Robinson, composed of myself, my good wife, and three sons, were the sole survivors of an ill-fated ship. From the wreckage we built a home of safe comfort on this unchartered shore. We lack no domestic convenience, fashioning from salvage and …
