News Update: Christmas 2013 in Disneyland Paris

[dlpSteve]

SO the new Christmas 2013 website when live on the Belgian site last night here: http://seasons.disneylandparis.com/befr/xmas.php

The big news is a new version of Dreams! called Christmas Dreams! and Disney Magic on Parade, with new characters!

I wrote a big article on it here: http://dedicatedtodlp.com/2013/08/2...including-a-new-christmas-dreams-two-parades/ for those who may be interested.

Though there is no Mickey's Winter Wonderland, there is more entertainment and the new Christmas Dreams! sounds really interesting.

I would actually book based on this news....tempting!

Looking forward to my January trip, Christmas looks like fun this year, but I'm going to miss Mickey's Winter Wonderland, but a Christmas Dreams! will make up for it.

Thanks for the article Steve.

The French Disneyland Paris PR site includes this information (translated from French):

[kobiko]

Ooh so excited to see the new tree,can't wait or our December trip.

 

[Florida2012]

New tree! Happy now! Still a little disappointed that there is no Mickey Winter Wonderland but there seems to be enough "new" things to keep us happy!


Can't wait for December now!

 

[Florida2012]

Just to clarify the characters Olaf, Anna and Elsa are from the new Disney film Frozen (based on The Snow Queen) which is apparently released at the end of November so will have to make sure we watch that before we go!!

Jelous of your trip.

 

[Danauk]

Sounds like it should be fun, can't wait to experience it for new years eve.

All booked for 24th Dec-1st Jan at the Disneyland Hotel (3nts) and Sequoia Lodge (5nts). I get to spend both Christmas and New Year in the parks. Yayayay!

I have a quick question for the guys who said they're there on Christmas Day. Are you booked up for the Merry Christmas Lunch at Hotel NY?
I've just booked up and paid but I can't find any info about it on the internet.
Does anyone know the exact menu? I know there'll be turkey roast with trimmings but I have no idea about the starter(s) and dessert. I heard that last year it was salmon and shrimp and now I'm starting to regret my booking as I don't eat fish at all.
And do you think I'll be able to request the dessert from the children's menu if the adult's is alcohol based? The medication I take causes me to have an alcohol intolerance and last year's chocolate cake does sound more appealing to me. And on the same note, do you think I'll be able to request orange juice as apposed to wine?

I'm an awkward person to cater for, I know.

Thanks guys!!

For France it looks like it's released in Paris on November 20th, and then generally on December 4th.
