Grumpy would say: ”I don’t like goodbyes!”. And I would probably answer: “All good things come to an end”. He’d probably even blurt out: “I don’t like endings!” And I would just agree with him. Nevertheless… The Blog has come to an end, along with the 15th Anniversary celebrations and I really wanted to say goodbye in a proper way. Maybe we will meet again soon and don’t forget that from April 2009 Mickey will host a huge party.
A big thank you to all of you for your comments and your commitment to this blog: it’s been two fantastic years. A special thank you to all the cast members that I interviewed: your backstage work provides us with beautiful dreams…
I cannot say goodbye without a little trip down the memory lane with this images!

“California” is the answer to the former and last mini-game.

It was back in 1998 in Discoveryland, when acrobatic roller blades, skates and mountain bikes, performed during the California Dream Festival.

So this issue is….the penultimate! Well done! Only two games to go including this one and that will be that… So put your thinking caps on and get this one right … We need to look good for the history books
Once upon a time, a piece of music accompanied a particular illumination… which one?

For anyone interested, the right answer to MG16 was: the cavalcade came from the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, the only show at the resort that has been continuously performed since 1992 in Disney Village. Not bad, eh? It was worth drawing your attention to it, that’s for sure!

In three dimensions (or nearly) on the Web… Guess what? I’ve seen Santa Claus, Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed up to the nines, Chip & Dale and everyone else!!

So if something’s afoot, it’s got to be the holiday season and its parties… And I reckon that the Christmas website looks fabulous this year!
And what’s more, it’s up and running!

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?!!)

It’s much easier to manage games than people at this age, I’ll tell you that for nothing! (you’d think I’m good for the straightjacket with comments like that!)
Be a little more pragmatic Tristane for goodness’ sake!

The answer to MG13: the troop came for The Legend of Mulan (1998) at Videopolis all the way from China (I know - it wasn’t the hardest of questions…).

And the new question straight away…
Who wrote the music for this Videopolis show?

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!

It’s also my birthday and my house number… Are you really interested in all that? No? Well - quite right you are too!

For MG12, the answer was of course Excalibur… Do you remember? In Fantasyland, “The Sword in the Stone” with Merlin the Magician and the sword Excalibur who had to find out the identity of the king of the Enchanted Kingdom.

Let’s get back to more fun stuff - but be careful, this is my special number even if you’re not particularly interested :
What nationality is the troupe that performed this show? Here’s a clue: I’ve been there and 12 hours flying is a long time!

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

We’ve gotten used to running into Disney Characters on Main Street, USA and everywhere really in Disneyland Park and even in Walt Disney Studios. We got their autographs and took photos, and they’d showed that they liked us with a nod of the head or a wave of the hand - as much as we love them so… Don’t I have a poetic pen today?! Well, at the moment in Disneyland you can something else altogether…
