243: The DLP Positivity Squad
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
Grab your headphones, buckle up and hit play , because Episode 243 of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast is even more chaotic than usual! 🏰✨ We thought we had a nice, structured, professional script ready to go... and then Marq showed up, hijacked the third mic, and immediately questioned the D2DLP team "Positivity Quotient." 📈 (Apparently, calling out "disgusting churros" and complaining about feeling like "human sardines" on past episodes means we need an intervention!) Despite Marq pulling out receipts of our past cynicism, the trio managed to wrangle the chaos and dive into some...

242: Too Hot to Handle-Merch Drops & Listener Letters
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
Grab a fan and an icy drink, because Episode 242 of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast is here and things are seriously heating up! This week, we are coming to you direct from a European summer that has reached the exact temperature of a freshly baked Mickey waffle. It’s so brutal out there that it actually managed to impact a major holiday celebration at the resort—tune in to find out how the heat wave officially put the freeze on the pyro, and why the local ducks are staging a resort pool takeover. But the parks are still sizzling in other ways, specifically in the shopping...

241: Scorching Summer Survival at DLP
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
This week, the D2DLP virtual studio feels like a giant pizza oven, Beth and Vanessa are officially melting and things are getting even more unhinged than usual. While Beth barely maintains her sanity in France with the help of "Olaf" (her tiny, pathetic desk fan) and Vanessa tries to remain a functional human in the German heatwave, the duo is diving into the biggest news affecting the resort right now. We’re talking about the unprecedented heat-related changes at Disneyland Paris, from halted outdoor attractions to fireworks bans and the very serious debate on whether Disney should...

240: Listener Mail Extravaganza
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
The gang is finally back together! (Wait- can two people be a gang?) Anyway, after a brief hiatus, Vanessa has returned to the virtual studio and Beth could not be happier. The listener mail bag has taken over the premises and MUST be dealt with! We are tackling a mountain of your questions, trip concerns, and hilarious park comparisons in this extra-special mail extravaganza. From navigating the busy holiday seasons and mastering park strategies to reciting poems about certain problematic park snacks, we covered it all with (mostly) efficient flair. Whether you’re planning a...

239: Limp Churros & Listener Mail
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
Vanessa is still off girlbossing at her Pilates studio (engage your cores, people!), so your host Beth is once again flying solo this episode. And honestly? She's doing ok with it. Except that her medieval faire responsibilities have kept her away from the D2DLP Instagram account, but she's back with a cozy, chatty, mailbag-filled show just for you. First up, a letter from Aline, who you might remember from her fantastic birthday stay at the Disneyland Hotel. Aline has a big, beautiful idea to share. Then, listener Jonah returns with a trip report that has everything, including a Saint...

238: DLP Day Two Drama
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
After a very dramatic solo opening involving a rogue radio and far too much emotional honesty, Beth realizes she cannot—will not—recap the long-awaited part two of her April trip all by herself. Enter: emergency backup. A brand-new, limited-engagement co-host makes her debut. She has zero podcasting experience, no idea what she agreed to, and a very long Disney history with Beth. Let's just say they go way back. Like, way back. Together, they finally tackle Day Two of Beth's April trip—the one listeners have been asking about for weeks. Reservations vanish from phones....

237: Confessions of a DLP Character Girlie
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
Vanessa had to girlboss at her Pilates studio this week, so Beth is flying solo—and firing up the extremely questionable Tempus Cheapis 3000 (patent pending). It’s not high-tech, but it gets the job done! Where are we going? We’re heading back to March 2026, to sit down with one of our favorite listeners, Aline. She’s sharing all the details of her fabulous birthday trip, including: The Power of the Bubble: Aline explains why staying on-property at the Disneyland Hotel was a total game-changer for her trip. The "Character Girlie" Transformation: How a former skeptic turned into a...

236: The Riffraff Report – Disney Adventure World For Real People
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
Vanessa saw the ideal version of Disney Adventure World. Beth saw the blooper reel—and somehow, that was even better. This week on the Dedicated to DLP podcast, Beth returns from a trip that involved a 450 page book, one slightly damp poncho, and what felt like a million other people who all had the same brilliant idea. While Vanessa previously experienced the polished, VIP preview of the new World of Frozen and Adventure Bay, Beth went in during the Easter holiday chaos and discovered what it’s actually like when Frozen Ever After hits 120 minutes, Crush goes down half the day, and the...

235: World of Frozen Preview Trip Report (Snowflower Festival Edition)
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
There are episodes where we try to cram in a North Mountain of listener questions, and then there are episodes where we just hand the mic to Vanessa and let her run wild. This is very much the latter. Vanessa is back from a secret mission—okay, not secret, but definitely exclusive—to the brand‑new World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World. She walked the land before the public gets to, touched all the things she promised she’d touch, and came back with opinions. Strong ones. And Beth, being the supportive co‑host she is, decided the only reasonable thing to do was sit back and let...

234: DLP Strategy Session: Listener Mail Edition
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
This week on the Dedicated to DLP Podcast, Vanessa is back! She has returned from braving her own personal Catastrophe Canyon, and Beth could not be more relieved to have her co-host safely in the chair, with a large box of Kleenxes nearby. Yes, Vanessa is pretty unwell, but she is being brave and the D2DLP duo is ready to do what they do best: chat about DLP and discuss letters from their favorite people—the D2DLP listeners! There were big plans to tackle five letters, but we were having so much fun that we only made it through four. First up, the fabulous Kesha from Long Island checks in...
info_outlineHold onto your Mickey ears, folks, because Marq and Beth are taking you on a thrill ride through the latest Disneyland Paris developments, World Premieres (yes, plural) questionable naming choices, and Beth’s emotional breakdown over some shocking attraction news (RIP, old friend).
Here’s what to expect:
* Abu Dhabi has joined the chat: Disney’s Big Royal Expansion.
There’s a whole new world rising in the United Arab Emirates, a Disney Adventure made for and paid by actual Princes and, we assume, princesses. Somewhere in the world where they don’t cry over spirit jersey prices. Beth and Marq debate: Is this Bob Iger’s final genius move before handing over the keys to the Kingdom?
*Studio One’s Grand Reopening: Now with More… Confusing Music?
Back in our humble expansion park, Studio One has reopened—but now it’s called « World Premiere » (because Disney loves a rebrand). Visitors are loving the glow-up, but the music playlist? A bit baffling, not that we are hating on John Williams. Is it Hollywood glam or an overly modern muddle? You decide.
* Hollywood Gardens: Great Vibes, Meh Menu
The atmosphere? Chef’s kiss ! The food? The chef is not ready to kiss anybody quite yet. Beth and Marq discuss why this spot nails the aesthetic but fumbles the food variety. This place deserves more than fish burgers and star nuggets. But the dessert do look sweet!
* Disney’s Naming Conventions: What’s in a wor(l)d?
Park terminology. We’ve discussed this before, but why does Disney have to reuse the same three words in every park name? Like, do you need a Premier Access to have a World Premiere Adventure?
Send help !
*😱 Beth’s Heartbreak
Her most beloved attraction is (apparently) getting the axe, and Beth is not okay. Tune in for a passionate rant that’s equal parts vengeful and tragic. It is a sad day for quirk, whimsy and eccentric walk-throughs in Frontierland.
* Feedback & a Trip Report: We really LOL !
-When it comes to family trips, pack snacks, embrace the app, and for the love of Mickey, let the kids nap! And remember - Flexibility is Key! Plans are just suggestions when toddlers and DLP mix.
* Shoutout to Our Sponsor: Easy Go Shuttle!
Need a ride to the magic? Easy Go Shuttle has you covered—because walking to Disneyland Paris from CDG is NOT the happily ever after you signed up for.
