11. Counter services will be reworked.

This is the best news of this whole list. When we were at DLP last year, we waited (way) longer for QS meals than we did any ride in either park. It was unbelievably slow.

So great that Paris is getting the love it deserves.

Now, I think that Mickey and the magician may go to DHS and replace either mermaid show or BATB. One can hope....please replace mermaid, please replace mermaid, unless Monsters ink is moving there

One thing about DLP it seems current management is seriously trying to listen to fans/guest feedback in how they can better the experience unlike WDW and DLR these days.

I have to imagine this will go to DHS but doesn't it sound like the kind of thing that would be really good in a theater on Main Street USA? Oh well.

Even though I never got the chance to visit Disneyland Paris I’m happy there getting the love they deserve.

Even though I never got the chance to visit Disneyland Paris I’m happy there getting the love they deserve.

I am amazed with how upfront they have been with the work at DLP including issues with current attractions in just bettering the experience. Something you rarely see these days at WDW or DLR. The Disneyland Paris COO came from the US parks.

There were some people in attendance at specifically said WDW and others that said other Disney parks. I was looking first hand from media at the event not from WDWNT when I first reported this addition.

It’s very strange that Disney Parks blog isn’t all over this. This is breaking news material for Disneyland Paris.

It makes a lot of sense given how awful a time they’ve had there. I’ve looked into how terrible the opening was and the cultural issues they had, on top of like a billion other things, and it’s truly incredible the place didn’t close

The blog has gone silent in the past when horrific events have taken place in the US which may be why we haven’t had any posts since early this morning.

Looks like these didn't hit the 7/13-7/15 dates yet. Hopefully they will add more then so I can get morning times.

They just released more availability for more dates! Was able to get slinky for 7/15
