On May 18, Disneyland Paris invited about 150 fan media to Disney’s Hotel New York to attend the kick-off a new fan program; InsidEars. And when you have that much fan media present, you have to make some announcements. Besides food, entertainment, drinks, and goodies, we were also treated to 3 hrs worth of announcements. Let’s try to sum them all up.<\/p>\n
A big portion of Disneyland Paris consists of rides and shows. Daniel Delcourt, Disneyland Paris’ COO came on stage and answered 30 questions (out of a 500) that we submitted.<\/p>\n
Out of the blue Delcourt shared that\u00a0Mickey and the PhilharMagique will be coming to Disneyland Paris in October 2018. The venue for this\u00a04D adventure in music and movement through Disney classics will be the Discoveryland theater.<\/p>\n Even thought his ride has been open for less than 5 years, extensive works need to be done. There are issues with the flooring (floors are sinking) and wireless signals are causing issues with the trackless ride vehicles. The ride will be closed from August until December. While it is not clear what will happen with the restaurant, it almost seems obvious that it will be closed for most of the works as well.<\/p>\n A new photo location will be opened near Phantom Manor. This will give guests the opportunity to take a photo with the spirits from the Manor. This was already announced<\/a> a few days ago, but we now have seen an artist rendering.<\/p>\n Imagineers and CMs are working hard on the refurbishment of Phantom Manor. Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald had a video message explaining some of the works being undertaken. The works consist of renovated scenes (new lights and paint), refurbished animatronics and new effects. Fitzgerald also hinted that while they were working on Phantom Manor they found some new clues to the original story. This might mean that the storyline might be reworked a bit. Phantom Manor is scheduled to be reopened again in the fall of 2018.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
