Hi! I'm looking to book soon and have been thinking of Mon. Nov. 12th for 3 nights at the Cheyenne :goodvibes . I am wondering if DLPR is already all decked out for Christmas by then? Is it very nice, I hope so! We loved our last trip to WDW when we arrived the 27th Nov. and wonder what we can expect from DLRP? I am really looking forward to Fantalusion! The pictures look lovely :).

Thanks for any advice!
 
The Christmas season at the resort starts on the 10th November, so will be in full swing by mid November. :)

Actually see my post below.
 
Translated from French to English with the help of AltaVista's Babelfish, you can kind of get the drift from it.

One season of Christmas still more dazzling for the 15 years of Disneyland Resort Paris

The MARNE the VALLEY, France September 11, 2007 - the celebrations of Christmas start as of November 10 with Disneyland Resort Paris. Among the strong points of this season, the new tank of the "Dreams of Christmas" of the Parade of the Disney Dreams, the musical spectacle Mickey and Magic of the Winter and the unforgettable illumination of the Castle of Beautiful to Wood Sleeping with the colors of the 15th birthday.
Until January 6, 2008, the most cordial period of the year wants to be scintillating even more. And so that the festival is complete, the stay and the access to the Disney Parks are free for the children of less than 7 years.


Disneyland Park


More than one million lights transform the Disneyland Park into a fairy-like winter kingdom. Snow falls on Main Street, the U.S.A., transformed into avenue étincelante which underline of large standard lamps dedicated to the Disney Princesses, and of merry snowmen. A majestic Christmas tree and the Castle of Beautiful with Wood Sleeping shines of thousand fires, especially decorated for the 15th birthday.
The Father Christmas and his reindeers trônent on the tank "Dreams of Christmas" of the Parade of the Dreams Disney, every afternoon. This chatoyant procession was created for the 15th birthday and gives life to the most beautiful dreams of Traditional Disney, with the participation of a great number of avoided Disney characters of their more beautiful clothes of festival.
[ size=12]D' others surprised await the visitors. Mickey and the Magic of the Winter puts in scene Mickey, Minnie, Dingo and their friends several times per day in a spectacle of high ice-skating colors, on bottom of immaculate snow. This meeting full with imagination evokes in music the charms and the pleasures of the winter season. Tic and TAC, also make a surprised appearance there.
In the heart of Fantasyland, as of November 17, the visitors can stroll in the sinuous lanes of the Village of Christmas de Belle. They can cross there celebrates it heroin and the Animal with the entry of this picturesque borough. On the scene of Fantasy Festival Training course, "Winnie the Bear cub and its friends" enchant the visitors of all ages in a spectacle on the topic of Christmas, of December 15 at January 6.
The Disney characters are with the festival and await the visitors in front of the Castle. In the elegant wood of fir trees of Town Public garden, Christmas Nutcase-Father lends himself to the meetings photographs. And like each day since the beginning of the celebrations of the 15e birthday, the Small Train of the Disney Characters circulates several times per day on Main Street, U.S.A, redécoré on the topic of Christmas.
Each evening, Mickey and its friends find themselves for merry final "Bougillumination Enchantée" in dances and songs, in front of the Castle of Beautiful with Dormant Wood. Mickey in person lights the 15 candles of the Castle. Pretty Disney princesses start to dance while, behind them, the castle is transformed into a étincelant crystal palate. The spectacle finishes in apotheosis when a star rain emerges from the magic wand of the fairy small bell, perched at the top of the Castle, which illuminates, one by one, the giant reverberators which border Main Street U.S.A, to the immense Christmas tree to the other end of the avenue.
Lastly, night fairyhood Disney® Fantillusion© * brings together the Disney heroes in a blazing procession associating the visual and sound effects most sophisticated, to enclose the day in a bouquet of music and unforgettable light.
* From the 10 to November 30: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - each day of December 1 at January 6 - according to the weather conditions.
[ size=12]Parc Walt Disney Studios


Christmas glamour and spangles with the Studios.
The visitors can still pass in front of the camera by playing the observers in the spectacle "Christmas Ciné Madnesses" of Studio 1, in an irresistible environment of festival.
Splendours of Christmas
Disneyland Resort Paris resplendit of decorations Christmas. Each hotel grows rich by activity and illumination, Christmas trees especially organized for the period of the festivals.


Disney Village of December 21, 2007 to January 6, 2008
The magic of Christmas continues in Disney Village with fairy-like animations. The market of Christmas proposes to the families to prepare with the cordial environment of the festivals of end of the year. Through illuminated alleys, many country cottages invite to the pleasure of the eyes and the papillae thanks to the artisanal products and culinary specialities presented by the producers. The families are caught with the play shopping of Christmas to discovered innovations.
Accomodating the children, the Father Christmas is accompanied by funny fellows of snow and many other characters eccentric and traditional to discover. Small and large can be taken in photograph with them.
In the restaurants and the street, the midnight supper of the Sylvestre Saint puts the visitors at the heart of the festival with menus of prestige and animations of street. The Hurricanes discotheque ** leaves its ball to facets and proposes one evening special "Seventies". The amateurs of the indémodables tubes "disco music" are invited to leave their behaviour to spangles to begin the year in rate/rhythm.


** paying Entry with the Hurricanes discotheque. Road closure to the minors not accompanied by a relative or a legal guardian. Correct behaviour required. The direction reserves the right to limit or refuse the access for reasons of safety.



Well I for one can't wait to meet Christmas Nutcase-Father :rotfl: I was hoping that the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony would still be on this year and I'm looking forward to seeing it merged with the Candleabration, should be really good. Nice to hear that the Character Express will have a Christmas makeover, bit disappointed that the Winnie the Pooh show won't be on but we will get to see Mickey's Winter Wonderland and Fantillusion, I find it strange that they've only got Fantillusion parade running on weekends, I always thought it was an integral part of the Christmas celebrations, so if anyone's planning on seeing it, remember weekends only in November, snow on Main Street and seems that the princess Christmas decorations are going up too, Belle's village in Fantasyland, I know one little girl at least who's going to love that, but no mention of the Christmas Village in Frontierland that everyone's talkingabout :confused:
 

Thanks Jill!

I knew I'd made a great decision booking again, as if there was any doubt :lmao:

Well our itinerary is well under way....
We arrive on Sun 6th Jan, so we'll be making sure we see all these special christmasy bits before they vanish. :thumbsup2
 
It does look good doesn't it ? :santa:
Raci I saw on your thread that you've booked, excellent news :thumbsup2
 
The Christmas season is the best :thumbsup2 I want to go :rotfl:

Wow!

Those pics are perfect!
Is that really what main street and the castle will look like its going to be really, really special!

Excitement is growing ever bigger, I can see some sleepless nights coming up :rolleyes1 I did the same in July 06 when I booked 8 months in advance. this time only 3 1/2 months to wait so I stand no chance at sleeping :rotfl2:
 
Oh Wow Jill, that's brilliant, thank you :goodvibes ! It does look beautiful doesn't it! I've seen somewhere that they have the lights of winter canopy in the studios like they do in Epcot, is that correct? It's so pretty! I haven't booked yet as I've read on DLRP Magic that the Dragon is going into refurbishment on the 12th and I'm afraid now that the castle will be blocked off, what do you think :scratchin ? Otherwise if it's just the dragon then I can handle that :). I mean it's not like Pirates or Phantom Manor is it. Or is it? :eek:. I gotta say, it's a blast being a newbie to a park, because I've been glued to the Dis for years learning all I can about WDW but Disneyland Paris is just a big mystery right now:goodvibes .

Oh no, now it seams official no Fantillusion during the week until the 1st December, only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

We wanted to visit from Monday to Thursday in November. But that would mean no Fantillusion, no POTC, no Dragon, no pool at the SL (all closed for two weeks). And opening times only until 18:00!

I expected something like that when I red that the park is only open until 18:00 in November because they can't do "The once upon a Dream Parade", "Candlebration" "Christmas Tree Illumination" and "Fantillusion" between 16:00 and 18:00. This can only work if the park will be open longer.

And I think that the park will be open from 1st December during the week at least until 19:00 or even 20:00.

This is the first time that I don’t know what to do. :confused3 :sad2:
 
Oh thats a shame about Fantillusion, I was hoping to see that this time. We're going from tues to fri 20th-23rd so Fantillusion will only be on the friday but our flight is around 9pm but we'll have to leave at about 6pm to get to the airport. Never mind, it's an excuse to go again another year!!

The Lights of Winter came down for the last time after Christmas 2004. Since then we've had the Princess Chandeliers, which these year will be combined with the 15th banners which are already on the posts - see the second picture that Jill posted. :cloud9:

I'm sure that the Dragon's refurbishment will not affect the castle itself. I presume they will just block off the stairs down from the inside,, and the little door under the side of the castle - neither of which are particularly obvious. :)

:eek: How did we miss those stairs! I never even saw another entrance to the dragon. We went down the path at the side of the castle and then under the rock.
Where abouts in the castle are the stairs? We will definatly have a look for them in Jan :goodvibes
 
If you're walking into the Castle from Main St and Central Plaza, the stairs are on the left - either in or just past the Merlin L'Echanteur shop, I think. Take care though - it's dark!
 
So before you get to the stairs up to the gallery (coming in from Main Street)?
We went into the glass shop is that the Merlin shop?
 
Yes and yes - at least I think so. I'm not very good on details! I think the stairs down are before the stairs up, and the shop on the right is the one that sells Christmas decorations, so Merlin L'Enchanteur must be the glass shop.
 
Also Jill, regarding your post, that translation is too funny :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes
Well I for one can't wait to meet Christmas Nutcase-Father

I had meant to post that I am also looking forward to seeing "Winnie the Bear cub and its friends"

Are these the lamps that replaced the Lights of Winter :rolleyes: ?

Who's Dingo? hehe :lmao: !
