The fifth part of my seven part complete tour of Disneyland Paris. Again, this isn’t a one shot walkaround. It’s edited to highlight the design and details, the architecture and layout of this fantastic park, shot in 4K and with the appropriate music.

Start by looking around the entrance from Central Plaza, then take in the queue and Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast – shot in low light multi angle, and exit into the Constellations store. Take a spin on Orbitron, then explore Videopolis. Explore the back of the land and then take a peak at Star Tours. Exit via the Star Traders gift shop and take a peek in SpacePort. Pop into the Discoveryland Theatre and take in the design of the area before exploring Hyperspace Mountain, taking a multi angle ride on Autopia and quick walk through the Nautilus.

And there’s more! Walk around the back of Space Mountain as dusk falls, and then take a highlights walking tour of the entire park and each land after dark to see how different and amazing it looks when lit. Enjoy!

Continuing my tour of Disneyland Paris, here is a complete look around Fantasyland. A land so big it has a canal through the middle of it! As before I wanted to show every shop and restaurant and in this episode also feature multi camera edits of each attraction that I haven’t previously covered. Again, shot in 4K and all set to the appropriate music. 
Take a look around Peter Pans Flight then take a multi angle, low light full ride. Eat in Toad Hall. Meet Mickey. Take a ride on Dumbo. Take a full tour of the castle including the upper balcony, the dungeon with dragon, Merlin L’enchanteur and La Boutique du Chateau. Tour the courtyards behind the castle and then dine at Auberge de Cendrillon. Shop in La Confiserie des Trois Fees, La Menagerie du Royaume, Sir Mickeys and La Chaumiere des Sept Nains, ride the Carousel, take multi angle low light rides on Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains and Les Voyages de Pinocchio, shop in La Bottega di Geppetto and eat in Au Chalet de La Marionnette, run through, over under and in and out of Alice’s Curious Labyrinth, spin on the Tea Cups, visit the Old Mill and Storybook Land for the Canal Cruise and Casey Jr., take a peak at the Princesses Pavilion and it’s a small world and then eat at Pizzeria Bella Notte. 
Again, this isn’t just a one camera walk around. I wanted to show the details, design, layout and architecture that makes this park so special. Enjoy!

And so my in depth tour of this resort continues with one of the largest and most well designed lands. Travel from Africa to Asia, the tropics to the Caribbean. Again I intended to highlight the design, architecture and landscaping and show here how multiple countries, continents and themes can seamlessly blend together. 

Begin by looking at some of the entrances to the land, some easier to find than others, and take a quick Look around Agrabah Cafe restaurant. Walk through La Girafe Curieuse and Aladdins Passage, Restaurant Hakuna Matata and explore the riverside terraces. Walk further into the land via Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant and take a look at Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril. We then move onto Adventure Isle for a quick walk up Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and a full tour of the pathways, bridges, tunnels, waterways and caves that make the island a real adventure.

Back on the mainland, see how the land was designed to both join and hide Fantasyland, then tour the area around Skull Rock and Pirates of the Caribbean before taking a quick ride, ending in Le Coffre du Capitaine and Captain Jacks Restaurant. 

Again, this was all shot in 4K and is set to the appropriate background music. 

Continuing my tour of the Parisian resort, part two takes us to Frontierland. As before my plan was to show the design and architecture of the park as well as highlights of attractions, and to look inside every shop and restaurant. And so, take a stroll through the land from both the main hub entrance and the bypass tunnel. Pop inside the Lucky Nugget and Silver Spur, the Last Chance cafe, see highlights of Phantom Manor, the Molly Brown and Big Thundermountain, the playground, Rhythms of the Pride Lands, and also shop in the Mercantile, look around Casa de Coco and Cowboy Cookout, take a peek at the Rustler Rounup Shootin’ Gallery (Paris still has one!) and finally take a circle tour of the park from the Frontierland Railroad Station.

Nearly 20 years ago I attempted a “full” video tour of Disneyland Paris. Now, over 2 years in the making, I’ve tried it again. The first thing I found was it wouldn’t fit into just one video! And so, I’ve split it into several episodes each looking at one land of Disneyland Parc, the studios, and also the wider resort, Disney Village, and a tour of each of the onsite hotels. Recorded in 4K over multiple visits between June 2019 and May 2024, and all set to the appropriate music, I wanted to show more than just attractions. Yes, I do look at the highlights of each ride and show, but I wanted more to show the design, architecture, details, the atmosphere, the ambiance and more of the parks and resort and also not make it just a one shot walk-around. I also wanted to look inside every shop and restaurant, at transport options, and to present the parks and resorts at their best as a guide to a potential first timer, a memory for those who have visited, and as a show of the fantastic, beautiful design of the original park and resort. A lot of footage was shot during Covid restrictions which offered a great look around almost empty parks.

Such is the current speed of renovations and additions in DLP, I’ve had to re edit and show some areas in their before and after state. I’ve also purposely included – in detail – the Village and Studios Park as they were in early 2024, right before their respective massive overhauls began as a reminder of how they used to be.

One challenge was to include all this detail I wanted to show, but also to keep the video moving and not dwell on anything too much and basically not become too boring. I hope you think I found that balance.

And so, here is part one – Main Street, USA. Explore Fantasia Gardens, the arrival process, Town Square, each shop, every corner, Walt’s and Plaza Gardens Restaurants, every quick serve option, the undercover arcades, the vehicles, take a ride on the fire engine, look around the railroad station, look at the design of each buildings architecture, and end inside the castle. Unlike later episodes there isn’t any real attention to a specific attraction since the whole area is an attraction in itself. I hope you enjoy this and the other episodes.

Recorded and presented here in 4K, the full Sonny Eclipse show from Cosmic Rays in the Magic Kingdom. Shot from multiple angles with a stereo source / live ambiance audio track.

Take a full tour of the HKDL hotel. Located on the coast, this 5 star resort is a stunning hotel in a stunning resort. Take a detailed look around our sea view balcony room, the restaurants, pools, the general hotel and its grounds. See how easy it is to walk or take the shuttle to the park and transport hub. Plus, take a tour of the public areas of the Explorers Lodge resort and Hollywood Hotel, and take a stroll around all 3 hotels after dark too.

Take a full tour of this small but thoroughly enjoyable land; shot in 4K take a look at the eateries, a spin on Orbitron, then take full rides – with full queue and preshow coverage – of Hyperspace Mountain, Iron Man Experience and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Nano Battle! Finally take a walk around the land after sunset.

Hong Kong Disneylands Big Thundermountain and Expedition Everest all in one. Take a tour of the mining town of Grizzly Gulch with its many sight gags and see the coaster winding around, under and over the town. Take in the attraction queue then board your car for a full multi angle ride. After dark, see the town again and take another front row ride at night.

My edit of what is considered one of Disneys best attractions. Great theme and setting, original story, great ride system, amazing visual effects and a gorgeous score. Explore Mystic Point and the Gardens of Wonder, see all the details of the queue, the preshow, and then board the ride. Edited from 14 4K ride throughs to capture all the details and with a source / clean live extended audio mix. After the ride, exit via the gift shop and take in the Explorers Restaurant too.
