La team ed92

With Disneyland Paris closed for almost half of the time in 2021, the past year has been a difficult one for the destination, its Cast Members, visitors and fans. For us, we had to use our imagination to renew ourselves and develop concepts and ideas to entertain you, inform you and make you dream every day. We would like to take advantage of this message to congratulate and sincerely thank all our teams. Editors (website, social networks
), reporters, technicians, videographers, moderators and many other functions, all volunteers, essential to the success of this collective adventure every day.

Of course, we don’t forget where we come from, let alone why all this exists: You! So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your expressions of sympathy for us and for your continued presence day after day. We wish you a wonderful year 2022, full of hope and magic, as the coming months will be full of highlights, including the launch of the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Paris and the inauguration of the Avengers Campus next summer.

Zoom in on the fortnight

Our reporters work almost daily in the parks and share their best shots with us. Here is a look at the top 3 photos of the fortnight that made the biggest impression on you.

1st place: La galette des rois à la frangipane, without frangipane, 4,30€ for an “air” galette stings a little

2nd place: When Mickey puts on a show during the parade, Mickey is quite the Fred Astaire 😉
3rd place: On the 2 January, the show Le Roi Lion et les Rythmes de la Terre was interrupted after the first set piece. After several minutes of waiting, we were finally shown to the exit
 No luck!

News from the Disney parks around the world

Disneyland Resort – California | U.S.A. :

Before her travels take her once again to a galaxy far, far away, Ming-Na Wen (Disney Legend) recently stopped by the Disneyland Resort to celebrate the holidays and the release of the brand new original series she stars in, “The Book of Boba Fett” exclusively on Disney+.

Walt Disney World – Florida | U.S.A. :

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2022 took place from 5 to 9 January 2022. On this occasion, several merchandise items were put on sale at Walt Disney World.

Let’s surf the waves at Walt Disney World Resort! The water park Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon has reopened its doors on 2 January 2022 after a two year closure, on a sunny afternoon in Florida.

« Harmonious », the new night time show atEPCOT, has been thrilling visitors every night since the beginning of the Walt Disney World Resort’s 18-month 50th anniversary celebration, bringing everyone together around the World Showcase Lagoon.

In addition to the incredible music, the show is also a visual tour de force, drawing on various cultures to present a unique look and style in each sequence throughout the show.

The Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Imagineering teams worked closely with a wide range of consultants and cultural artists to produce these different scenes.

As part of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, the new « Disney Enchantment » night time show inspires everyone to believe in magic with captivating Disney music, fireworks, enhanced lighting and immersive projection effects.

As you can imagine, it took quite a team to create a night time show on this scale. One of the artists in charge of this project is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animation director Eric Goldberg. He adds “Disney Enchantment” to his already impressive portfolio, which includes overseeing the animation of everyone’s favourite genie in “Aladdin” and co-directing “Pocahontas”.

Recently, Eric and his daughter visited Magic Kingdom to experience ‘Disney Enchantment’ for the first time.

On 6 February 2022, the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom parks proposed new private visitor experiences:

  • The Keys to the Kingdom (5h behind the scenes at the Magic Kingdom)
  • Caring for Giants (60 minutes with the African elephants)
  • Wild Africa Trek (3h at the heart of nature)
  • Up Close with Rhinos (60 minutes with the rhinos)
  • Savor the Savanna (explore the sights, sounds and tastes of Africa)

Admit it, you want to try them all!

Over the past 24 years, thousands of animals have made their home in Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, but no other animal has had a greater impact on visitors, Cast Members, and the scientific community than Gino, a 40-year-old western lowland gorilla.

On 30 December, Gino celebrated his 41st birthday with a special party. He was given a special “cake” made of some of his favourite foods, carefully prepared as part of his balanced diet.

At Walt Disney World Resort, environmental awareness is everywhere.

By 2030, The Walt Disney Company is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Cast Members take action at all levels, on a daily basis, but also on events such as Run Disney, encouraging participants to recycle their waste and in particular banana peels, in two seasons 6,300 pounds of banana peels have been collected and converted into renewable energy.

At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Cast Members are on the lookout for ways to separate waste, especially food.

The Facilities Management (FAM) design team is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve water by improving the efficiency of air conditioning systems and the design of heating systems. Let’s welcome this great initiative!

In some stores in Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, a mobile app will allow you to make purchases with your phone.

When you’re ready to make your purchases, simply open the app My Disney Experience or Disneyland and scan the barcodes of your souvenirs as you add them to your bag. When you’re done shopping, show your purchase QR code and items to a cast member at the designated exit, and you’re all set!

Hong Kong Disneyland – Hong Kong | China :

The The Explorer’s Club Restaurant, at Hong Kong Disneyland has been given a makeover to better integrate with the history of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.). As a result, the venue hosts more of the treasures that Lord Henry Mystic (an imminent member of the secret society) received during his travels around the world and invites us to discover different cultures through a semi-buffet.
