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...
