In 2002… Drum roll ! Come on, you can do better than that! It’s worth it, I promise. On 16th March 2002, Walt Disney Studios (WDS) were born. No need to explain more than that, unless of course you only skim through my articles (which is possible, but I hope not!).

The new Disney’s Once upon a Dream Parade won’t only be a feast for the eyes and ears, but for the nose too!  It’s amazing what technology can do! Not only will you see and hear the floats (and believe me, you’ll hear them!), you’ll also be able to smell them to. 
So how does it work?
To find out, I headed to Grasse, in the south east of France, to speak to the Chairman of the Olfact’air company, commissioned by Disneyland Resort Paris to perfume the Parade’s floats.

For every float

Over ten trials for each scent

Here’s a date to note down - the opening of two new attractions, Cars Race Rally and Crush’s Coaster on Saturday 9th June! It’s also four days before my birthday (what do you mean you don’t care?), but above all, it’s the first day that these new attractions will be open to the public. Both attractions are inspired by the Pixar films, Finding Nemo and Cars, and will take place in the Walt Disney Studios. So, if you’re not working on that particular day, you’ve got no excuse. For the rest, well you can take a day off, or take a sickie! Can’t you feel your throat tingling a bit?
