DLP Update : The 20 InsideEars Event Announcements For DLP Future !


On May 18, Disneyland Paris invited webmasters for the InsideEars launch event. Not less than 20 important announcements about DLP near future were unveiled and here is the complete list of all of them with pictures shot by Max, D&M contributor and DLP Welcome webmaster. The list starts right below after the video of the the InsideEars event. Note: most of the presentations in the video are in French language only.




1: « Mickey’s PhilarMagic » will open at Discoveryland Theater in October 2018. Even if the theatre exist since the park opening day you can count this as a new attraction for DLP, and even if the 3D movie had its premiere at WDW 15 years ago it's a good news as it's a good "D" Ticket attraction.








2: Mid-2019, the two parks of Disneyland Paris will be - at last - fully covered by the Wifi network!


3: Magic Pass is coming, French version of the "Magic Band" in a card version for Disneyland Paris, and will be tested this summer for a full use starting in 2019.



4: The Disneyland Hotel will be renovated in its Victorian style but with a new theme not yet unveiled for the rooms, probably other than the current Fantasia theme. The total closure of the establishment should take place after the reopening of the Disney’s New York hotel in its future Marvel version in 2020. Below, some pictures of the Hotel New York today before its rehabilitation on the Marvel theme.








Here is how the rooms will look when the hotel will reopen with its new "Art of Marvel" theme




5: Disney Village: A total redesign of the site is planned and is at 90% validated. A presentation will be made once the project will be signed. Expect a lot of works on this one, too.







6: A new director for the fast food restauration of Disneyland Paris has arrived for a forthcoming redesign of the strategy and the offer.



7: Tests of online reservations for restaurants this summer, such as the restaurant « En Coulisse ».


8: Total rehabilitation of the facades of the Tower of Terror starting May 26. No, it's not because they intend to change the TOT with a Guardians of Galaxy theme. It's for a more serious reason and if you want to know why, scroll down to the next article or jump HERE.



9: As of July 2018, the « Rendez-vous Gourmands » - DLP equivalent to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival - will return with 6 new stands as, for example, the Antilles, Italy, Spain and Belgium. If you missed it last year have look at the video below.




10: Ratatouille will be closed from late August to early December 2018, to fully redo the ground of the attraction which collapse a bit in some areas. No kidding.



11: The « Colonel Hathi Pizza Outpost » will closed in 2019 and will be transformed. Apparently it will become a buffet restaurant but what is not know is if the great theming inside will be changed. Let's hope not. The colonial building is surrounded by little falls and apparently the water is not running anymore there, so may be they want to take care of this too.







12: NO Starbucks Cafe will be established in Main Street USA. Good news.



13: The restaurant « Pizza Planet » will be completely destroyed. A tent purchased at the COP21 will be installed in the same location to receive Premium products and special events like the one for InsideEars last Friday.



14: Mickey and Minnie are celebrating their 90th anniversary at Disneyland Park from October 1, 2018 to January 6, 2019.  Creation of five delicious giant cupcakes inspired by the 5 lands of Disneyland Paris and celebration of Mickey’s birthday in the shows where he appears.



15: « Mickey’s Halloween Celebration » returns with a new float « Mickey’s Illusion Manor » that will celebrate Phantom Manor.



16: A Photolocation with one or more characters from Phantom Manor will open this fall near the attraction after its renovation.




17: At last, the Mark Twain riverboat will be fully renovated in 2019 and back in 2020 to sail on Frontierland Rivers of the Far-West!







18: Frontierland Chaparral Theater is now destroyed. A new theatre will be built and will present the all-new Disneyland Paris production of the Lion king in 2019.





19: DLP Castle turrets with their Golden Arrows at the top will be reinstalled before July on Sleeping Beauty castle, they had been removed when one fell down because of high winds last Winter.


20: The great Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily will designed some DLP exclusive collectible products for DLP and others new merchandise both in collectibles figures and clothes will arrive in shops soon!
