The final part of my full video tour. Finally! Fly into Charles de Gaulle airport and take the magical shuttle to Hotel Santa Fe, take a full tour of the hotel including our room, breakfast, shopping, Starbucks and more. Cross over the Rio Grande and take a similar tour of Hotel Cheyenne. Walk the canal side path to Lake Disney, and take a tour of Hotel New York Art of Marvel including our room, pool, lobby, shopping, and breakfast and dinner at Downtown and breakfast at Manhattan.

Next a quick walk around Lake Disney to Newport Bay for a tour of this hotel, lobby, pool and shopping, a lakeside room, and dinner at Cape Cod. A quick walk around the lake takes us to Sequoia Lodge for another full tour of lakeside, ground floor and lodge rooms, the pool, shopping, the lovely grounds, and breakfast at both Hunter’s Grill and Beaver Creek.

Next take the courtesy bus to the parks, look around the transport interchange and train station, then wander to the Disneyland Hotel for a full hotel tour, lobby, pool, shopping, our room, breakfast and lunch at Mickeys Royal Banquet and dinner at Table de Lumiere.

Leave the hotel for a full tour inside and out of Disney Village, purposely included here just before the main 2024-5 renovations began. See inside all the shops and restaurants just before the changes began and get an idea what the Village is like both today and in the future. Take a quick walk around to the south resort entrance for the transport and eaterie options there, and then take a quick look around the Village and each resort at night. Phew!

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.

Disneyland Paris – Martins Complete Tour Part Three – Adventureland

by on Aug.03, 2024, under Adventureland, Disneyland Park (Paris), Disneyland Resort Paris

Disneyland Paris – Martins Complete Tour Part Three – Adventureland from Martins Videos on Vimeo.

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.

Disneyland Paris – Martins complete tour part two – Frontierland

by on Jul.06, 2024, under Disneyland Park (Paris), Disneyland Resort Paris, Frontierland, Uncategorized

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.

Disneyland Paris Martins Complete Tour – Part One: Main Street USA

by on Jun.01, 2024, under Disneyland Park (Paris), Disneyland Resort Paris, Main Street, U.S.A.

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.
