DISNEYLAND PARIS

The Show Goes On…

“It’s Party Time…with Mickey and Friends” show, which debuted as part of the current Mickey’s Magical Party celebration, is to continue through to the end of August 2010. An audition call was posted on the official Disneyland Paris casting website inviting dancers to audition for the show.

Replacement for Mickey’s Magical Party

Although the “It’s Party Time…with Mickey and Friends” show is set to continue through next year, it seems that the Mickey’s Magical Party celebration will end and be replaced by a new theme, the working title (subject to change) of which is “Disney’s New Generation Festival.” Concentrating on Disney’s most recent movies including The Princess and the Frog, Ratatouille and Toy Story. The highlight is to be Toy Story Playland, an expansion of Toon Studio featuring three new attractions, although this isn’t expected to open until next summer at least. Princess Tiana from Disney’s upcoming movie The Princess and the Frog will join Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade, and Ratatouille will join Disney’s Stars and Cars.

Earl of Sandwich

Rumor has it that the Earl of Sandwich will be opening up shop in Disney Village sometime in 2010. The upmarket sandwich chain already have a shop in Walt Disney World’s Downtown Disney Marketplace and are currently trying to expand into Europe.
