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...

233: DLP vs WDW (with Niels Capturing Parks!)
Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast
He's back! We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Niels to the microphone once again. You know him as the brilliant photographer behind Niels Capturing Parks, a fellow member of the Insidears family, and the co-host of the Air Magique podcast. He joins us for a conversation we have been wanting to have for a very long time. Niels knows Disneyland Paris like the back of his hand. But he has also spent time at Walt Disney World, and even better, he has a trip to Florida on the horizon. We thought it was the perfect moment to put him on the spot and compare the two resorts from every possible...
