Yes - I promise it’s true… There was Orange everywhere: I was a bit confused initially, I thought there was some kind of colour mix-up! Don’t laugh - that kind of thing must happen every now and again! A was in the Park and there were these orange things everywhere, pumpkin men, events with Mickey, his friends and even Disney Villains! It was a festival of Orangeness!

Code Orange, Code Orange… That’s all well and good but if the Resort is getting oranged up for Halloween, I didn’t see why your blog should miss out on a little citrus face lift! So here it is – A new look, that even a fusspot like me thinks is great! Now that’s what I call style, ladies and gents. All this fruity talk is even making me hungry for the witch’s apple from Snow White…! But you’d come and wake me up wouldn’t you? Promise you would?!!

…Well I really should explain this a little further… Normally when someone asks me “What are you going to tell us about?” the answer is relatively obvious (like for a conference on journalism you would talk about….journalism wouldn’t you!!) well today I’m going to tell you all about Plant Décor….Of course!

Seriously, those parties are pretty cool - you always have a good time!

Do you remember? I told you about them already… Or I mentioned them briefly in passing… On 10th, 17th, 24th and 28th October at Disneyland Paris and, more precisely, in Fantasyland at 8pm and 11pm, we’ll all be there at the Halloween-code-orange-party!! (yes, that’s a brand new word from my personal made-up vocabulary - any problems with that?!!)

In Disney years, time goes by far too quickly because we’re soooo busy - and so much the better! The problem is…Halloween is just round the corner (well nearly). And on the Web, it’s already here! Yup - pumpkins, trick or treating, the whole lot…. And the orange dress code is back. On the new Disney Halloween website, it’s all going a bit mad (slightly mad, we’re still keeping it together…kind of). The atmosphere sets the tone, with creepy living dead laughter and mysterious music… But the weirdest thing is that you can’t trust what your eyes can see…Everything shifts and morphs! Pure becomes evil, goodies become baddies…Even Peter Pan changes into…a pumpkin!

August 12, 2008  : Disneyland Resort Paris welcomed its 200 millionth guest since the
opening in 1992.

At 11am the Yernaux family from south of France (Salon de Provence) were greeted at the entrance of the park by Mickey & Minnie themselves!

The family, in an eventful arrival at the entrance of the park, were able to enjoy their day on both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios full of magical experiences. In the evening they enjoyed a special dinner at the Walt’s restaurant. They were also able to appreciate the recently launched Empire State Club suites at the New York Hotel

Even if you’re very clever ….. Not one of you knew it all, no-one knew all the details of the origin of things … Why Disneyland? In the beginning, in the very beginning in California…. Actually it has to be said that there isn’t just one answer, but several, thousands … Well maybe a few less than that! :-)… But all put together they are THE answer. At the beginning of everything there was, of course, Walt Disney, the genius … And to tell us all about the origins, there’s Laurent Cayuela, of course… Because without him the blog wouldn’t be quite the same would it? Images and ……History!

Now what? Now everything that’s what! Summer means more than daisies appearing by the side of the road… In Disneyland Resort Paris, Summer is the time when ANYTHING can happen!

Remember, just a few reports ago (Tristane’s measurement of time) …. It was at the end of one of those memorable interviews with Laurent Cayuela. That day he promised me a video meeting to explain how the crazy idea came into being, in the well-ordered head of Walt Disney himself, to create one day a theme park based on Mickey Mouse, all in a park the size of a village, with its own population. Crazy when you think about it ….And since everything comes to she who waits, I had my meeting with our man so that he could give me the answer to this difficult question!
Was it after a dream? A present for a newborn child? A stupid bet?
However did this unbelievable project come into being in the imagination of a genius?

So you see, I’m going to get the answer; yes I have thought about doing a panorama of all your theories …. It could be fun! You’ve only got a short time left to send in your suggestions - I’m waiting!!
