Disney has announced that the five-star Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris will reopen on January 25, 2024 following a major renovation project.

The completely reimagined hotel is inspired by Disney royal stories, such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "Sword in the Stone," "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Princess and the Frog," "Tangled," "Frozen," "Moana" and "Raya and the Last Dragon."

The Lobby

The grand lobby takes inspiration from world-famous European castles, blending materials with touches of ivory and gold alongside unique lighting, sounds, and scents that evolve according to the time of day. A chandelier made of Bohemian crystal representing the park's iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle takes center stage. As you step inside, Royal Greeters will be ready to welcome you for your special stay while La Troupe Royale Disney, a joyful duo of comedians, will be on hand to perform surprise sing-alongs and royal tales.

Inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, as well as paying homage to the "Beauty and the Beast" ballroom, La Table de Lumière will offer table service dining among elegant mirrors, rose-emblazoned china and thorn-themed napkins. Its French fine dining showcases local, gourmet delicacies such as roses from Provins and sea treasures like lobster, monkfish, and sole fished off the coast of France. To top off the meal, a celebration cake inspired by Belle's rose is on the menu.

It means he will have a creative leadership role for all projects at the resort. He will be to Disneyland Paris what Joe Rohde was to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the big caveat being that certain properties like Star Wars and Marvel have their own creative leaders who are outside of the park’s creative leadership (for example Fitzgerald didn’t want Marvel to be part of Evolving Epcot).

For me it was not particularly clear what actual responsibility and decision power those WDI titles/roles include. Tom Fitzgerald's recent title was Walt Disney Imagineering Chief Storytelling Executive and Senior Creative Executive for Disneyland Paris. Do we know if he is still responsible for DLP in some capacity? Initially I would have assumed that Michel has been assigned to DLP to oversee the final stretch of construction and opening of the Frozen land - as he just did for HKDL. Hence, I am glad if he will be overseeing the creative portfolio of WDI in Paris overall. I agree that he is a great fit. Considering the lead time of many projects at DLP or WDI in general, I wonder how much time will pass until we can see Michel's creative influence take effect in DLP - apart from Frozen obviously. I strongly hope that he can already make some course corrections on some of the recently announced projects.

It's a great appointment, for 2 reasons. The current person in the role wasn't doing a great job, and Michel is talented and has a wide array of experiences (projects for Efteling, Europa Park and Disney) You can find more info on his portfolio here (in Dutch, use Google Translate) : https://www.eftepedia.nl/lemma/Michel_den_Dulk

Utterly bizarre decision, especially when they only just got the Star working properly again 😂 I could understand taking Dreams! away for something new but yeah almost as weird as DL going to Mix Magic over Wonderous... (and I happen to like Mx Magic, unlike a lot of people!). Also feel like Illuminations is going feel weirdly unfinished with cutting most of Frozen out, while I think the Frozen segment does go on a little too long the end is pretty spectacular and leads into the finale really well. (Also quite like the BaTB section even if the live action scenes feel a little odd in a castle park 😂 ) All indications from people in the know seems to indicate this is a great appointment, hopefully, if nothing he at least brings some cohesion to changes at DLP, rather than the random projects and themes that don't go together!

Yes! Great character, charismatic setting with French influences, and you could even integrate a minature paddlewheel boat in the waterway. UP remains a baffling choice. A good movie, with the instantly recognizable imagery of that house with balloons, but surely an ill fit here.

If I remember correctly, Tony Baxter spoke highly of him which is a good sign. I think he's also Dutch and worked for Efteling before Disney which might give him a European sensibility that helps for the resort.

So has he replaced Fitzgerald?

X-filed1 day ago

Nature is healing. Tom Fitzgerald was not suited for his role, as his approach primarily involved integrating screens everywhere (Ratatouille), cutting budgets (Flight Force), and attempting to standardize most rides in line with the American versions (Phantom Manor).

Shocked they didn't go with PatF for Storybookland, with a miniature New Orleans and Mardi Gras floats going by.

Thanks! I know DE Is during DAH which doesn't affect HEA at all thank goodness! I just don't understand why DLP has to go back to Illuminations when Disney Dreams is the Guests' Favorite....

wtyy214 days ago

DE is returning but exclusively for After-hours event, in which for this year is still running until June 27. Additionally, DLP's Dreams, Epcot Forever, and MK's HEA were returned at the same month last year but in different dates (HEA and EF on April 3 but ended on December 4 for EF, Dreams on April 12 but set to end on May 30). However, there may be some changes for Disney Illuminations. First, multiple spotlights that utilized for modified Disney Dreams last year will be used for the modified Disney Illuminations. Second, there would be removal of one scene (Beauty and the Beast live-action) and shortening of another part (Frozen; i guess will only feature Let it Go part that remain intact). https://www.mousesteps.com/2024/05/10/modified-disney-illuminations-nighttime-show-will-return-to-disneyland-paris-on-may-31-2024/ Third, there's a projection test regarding the new scenes that never appeared in either Dreams or the original Disney Illuminations, and that new scenes may be appeared for the modified Illuminations show. And finally, the show's soundtrack would be remastered in 4.1 mix format like how modified Dreams does.

Everything at this resort seems to be 1 step forward, 1 step back. Then again Disneyland brought back Mickey's Mix Magic instead of showing Wondrous Journeys all winter, so I guess this isn't exclusive to Paris.

So Nice to see DLP go in the Wrong Direction!!!!! Didn't Disney Dreams have to Return because Illuminations wasn't cutting it??? Let's hope TDO doesn't pull a fast one and return DE instead of a Night Parade!!! And I liked DE! MK's HEA and DLP's Dreams Return Dates were announced the same day if you forgot the connection...
