Time For A Rental

When visiting Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland Paris, you may be in need of a rental of sorts. Perhaps you would like a top of the range pushchair, or a beautiful pram?

Check out the Roll-a-Long Rentals, on the right hand side of Town Square. As Hertz is the proud sponsor, I'm sure you can get some fantastic models!

Vaudeville at the Tower

In the Starbucks at Disney's California Adventure, we see another poster for a fantastic-looking act at the Hollywood Tower Hotel!

A Cavalcade of Vaudeville
Beautifully Decorated ... and Air Conditioned!

Memories of a Mystical Evening

The Tip Top Club presents
Halloween Mascarade Ball with...
The Silver Lake Sisters
Dolly Dottie & Ethel

Near Hollywood Boulevard
where the stars come out to play

Looks like we might have only just missed it - on Saturday October 31st! - but I'm sure we will see the Silver Lake Sisters another time.

Enjoying a Wet Moment...in Frontierland

As we get closer to the winter months, and Christmas is round the corner, we miss the summer that we had. If we were lucky enough to have one!

Let's enjoy a summer night in Disneyland Paris, in Frontierland...although this could easily be a night in the middle of December!

Landscaping of Paris

Disneyland Paris have a beautiful new nightime spectacular, called Disney Dreams! The show combines fireworks, water and music to show in front - and on - the Castle in the evening.

Of course, this kind of show needs a base near the Castle, so that the music, fireworks, and everything else can be cheoreographed to perfection! This building may appear like it houses the landscaping department, but I'm sure the big cheese, Mickey Mouse, has some other use for it...

But, it may just be the Parks Landscaping Department!

A Welcome To The End

To round off the previous ten days, or so, of fun (and frightening!) in Frontierland, I thought it would be nice to remind us of the beautiful plaque which welcomes all to Frontierland.

The frontier of the Far West
was a ragged landscape
of great expectations and grand illusions,
where dreams rode wild,
and simple lives became legends.

As you pass through these gates,
follow the footsteps of the pioneers...
and dream.

Welcome to FRONTIERLAND

Check Out The Roundtable

No, it's not part of the Knights of the Roundtable, but it's the next best thing! I generally don't use the blog to make comments about news articles, or major happenings at the Walt Disney Company. Now and then, I will bring to light new developments for Disneyland Paris specifically, but I try to stay away from Breaking News items.

However, my dear friend Ryan over at the Main Street Gazette has invited this Royal Member to join a Roundtable of sorts, where a bunch of us discuss the weekly happenings of Walt Disney World and the people behind it.

Make sure you check out this week's post - it has a great article and viewpoint on the Disney/Lucasfilm purchase this week, which if you are as geeky about these two companys as I am (and much of the Disney community), it's a brilliant read!

Rivering Along

As a sort-of follow-on from the previous looks at Boot Hill, we should take some time to appreciate the area just before Boot Hill, as sailing along the Rivers of America.

You can see that the land is starting to become drier and more sparse, almost dead-like.

Perhaps that's why this frontiersman has left his wagon behind... Rather spooky, don't you think?
