The images on a computer are superb, really fantastic… But that’s nothing compared to seeing them for real. The Enchanted Fireworks are the new firework display at Disneyland Paris at dusk. Truly a fairytale experience you’ll never forget!
Christophe Leclercq, the organiser and designer of the event, wanted something huge for this new edition (ephemeral because after the 31st August you won’t be able to see it…too late!), something that would be truly enchanting as only love can be… Is he ambitious? Yes…So what!?

Well after that quick visit to Cyrano de Bergerac… And why you ask? Because!!! Because I had to find an allusion that matched the class of the answers I’m expecting for the MG11 question which is… Whose voice is this?

Oh by the way I nearly forgot, carried away by the words of the great Edmond Rostand… The answer to MG10 was: The Legend of Pocahontas inaugurated The Chaparral Theatre in Frontierland in 1996.

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!

Happy Birthday Mini-Game (any excuse for a party in my book and a round number, double figures - the perfect occasion for a celebration don’t you think?)…

MG9, not much of a party number there, needs an answer so: before becoming famous in the musical The Ten Commandments, Daniel Lévi sang Ce Rêve Bleu as a duet with Karine Cosma for the French version of the Disney Classic Aladdin (1992). This Disney Classic inspired a collection called Disney Classics, in 1997 which was shown for several years in Videopolis.

And here we are for the tenth opus - this sample is over ten years old (we’re so cute at only our tenth birthday…) but enough about that… Where did this show take place exactly ten years ago?

Right - calm down Tristane - future losers are hanging on your every word for the next question! ;-)…

The answer to MG8 was music from the Legend of The Lion King show (2004) which is still playing on stage at Videopolis

So - here is the new question:

This singer, who was unknown when he performed this song, is now very famous (as you know, Disney is synonymous with talent spotting!)… Who is he? I’ll help you… a musical set him on the road to glory and got him invited to talk shows on French TV…

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!!

…Sometimes, technology is the most beautiful thing there is! First, because that means daily blogs can be kept, and that’s not bad. And, secondly, thanks to the little phone earpiece I’ve worn over the past few weeks, all those keen policemen no longer have it in for this little blond girl whenever she dares to answer her phone….. I got a fine every time! It was getting very expensive to make a phone call! But lastly, and above all, technology’s great because at Disneyland they know how to use it and better still, we want to use it too! And what Disneyland wants, Bluetooth can do it !

On the seventh day God rested…But He’d been busy building the world hadn’t He! So there’s no rest for us here with this seventh enigma, even though God took His rest!

To MJ6, you should have answered: The Christmas Parade (1997) marched to the tune of the Nutcracker ballet by Tchaikovsky. In addition to Father Christmas on his sleight pulled along by real reindeer, this parade was particularly special with the appearance of wooden soldiers. For your information, Nutcracker (1982) was the third ballet by the Russian composer, after Swan Lake (1878) and Sleeping Beauty (1889).

And, since you always get everything right, all the time, I’m going to persevere. The extract I’m giving you has undergone a few modifications, only little ones of course ;-), which parade was it from, before being messed about by me?

…Soldier Tristane has climbed into the elevator ….. so The Tower of Terror has done time here! There I’ve said it …. Because after all, since I don’t dress the same every day why should I serve you up with the same view in this place that I want to be (that I hope is?) forever changing and perpetually warm and friendly. After a quick detour into the fourth dimension you can bet that a new Tristane is born…So the Blog had to get in step and undergo a little makeover, but without botox or silicone! What do you think?
