A Day in Disneyland Paris & Walt Disney Studios | Everything is closed !

[@AdLockhorst-bf8pz]

Why would you go to yet another Disney park when you could go to something else instead? Take the *Efteling* in the Netherlands or *Europa park* in Germany or [long list omitted] Original theming, different design strategy (the Efteling has a sort of unified style to it) ... and better value for money.

[@GillJewsbury-1401]

I agree with Nick the fact half the park is closed is a rip off , what if that was your one and only time to visit , I would be well peed off

[@stevenb1804]

Completely agree. I was there at the end of May and I will never go back. The amount of construction felt like I had been ripped off.

[@sarahmurphy5045]

I think the pink bear key ring is from Toy Story x

[@jackieoconnor4926]

Yep. It’s Lotso 😊

[@Lindy88888]

Seeing your vlog now, I’m pleased that I canceled my booking in June and changed it to end September 🥳🥳🥳 What do you think - will many of the refurbishments be #ready by then❓❓ Thanks 🌷🌸💗

[@ptm8375]

They did have adult tickets for price of a kids ticket during the olympics..but that was only for disney+ membersship peoples

[@elaineroom6358]

Absolutely agree with Nick, one thing at a time, we won't visit until it's all finished.

[@blank-dr2kx]

We’re going in 4 weeks, again at Christmas and then when all the new stuff is complete

[@janedavies7768]

Great vlog wonder how much the prices will be when it's all open.

[@ptm8375]

The renovation at Walt Disney Studios Park will begin in October 2023. During the renovation, paving work will be carried out behind the scenes in various areas of Walt Disney Studios Park and in various phases from October 2023 to the end of 2025.

[@donnalee2983]

As a DLP lover I have advised people not to go for a first visit while the work is going on. It is unfortunate, but hopefully it will all be worth it xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes we would advise families not to bother yet either. It's a waste of money

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

As a former DLP Cast Member, I would advise visitors not to come to Disneyland Paris during Summer season, there’s always refurbishment throughout the parks which means most rides are undergoing renovations. That will be a waste of money By September, everything would be good to go besides the ongoing Contrustion od Frozen Land in Walt Disney Not to mention, the food is not really that great and bloody pricey

[@Glesga_lassie]

Im gutted... weve booked to go, our first time, in 3 weeks and didnt know so much was closed, it said some things would be closed but this is ridiculous! Seriously considering whether to check if it's possible to transfer our holiday to orlando instead as we loved it there (just couldn't afford it but starting to wish we had tried to work something out). Gutted.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Its still fun but you have to be prepared for the walls and closed rides

[@74sammyjayne]

A Carebear? I think it was Lotso 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

😂

[@thereviewingtraveller]

Excited to watch the rest of the van trip. Glad you went back for the scent and mug lol. We are thinking of doing dlp in November but I’m having second thoughts now if half the things will be under refurbishment or being built 🤔

[@laurenwiseman8111]

Any idea when this construction in the park will be easing and walls coming down ? We’re going June 2025 for our first visit !! Abit put off ..

[@TheLodgeGuys]

not sure but wouldn't count your chickens

[@Glesga_lassie]

I think it'd due to open in around a years time from what I've read online. I'm frantically trying to work out if we can change our trip in 3 weeks time to florid instead

[@marni1971]

Everything is closed? Hardly.

[@victoriahadwin4513]

Bad management closing popular rides at same time. They dont care they get the money in summer.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thry should discount that park. It's not fair for families paying to go when half of it is shut

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

That’s one of the main reason I’m done working with DLP and left. Most attractions need constant renovation and repairs. They are getting olf and worn out. Disneyland paris around since 1992 and I’ve known it since I was kid. If you had come during 15th Anniversary. Every rides were fully operational and barely break down (I did the original)

[@dianedavies6581]

Morning Australia time, the penguin is from Merry Poppins. Then I’ve read the comments someone already beat me to it. Some facts I live at least a half hour drive from Allora where they have the Mary Poppins house - PL Travers.

[@nicolaward1034]

I’m a self confessed ‘mug’ addict, can never resist buying a mug from the parks, Starbucks wherever really 😂 Great vlog guys ❤ xx

[@kts64]

Shocking for a room spray €60 nick what madness €60 🙈🙈 my daughter always says would you buy it in uk for that price , which i would of said no, its cos its disney 🙈🙈

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It smells so good though

[@shirleydunn8050]

For quite a while Newport Bay was the largest hotel in Europe. We stayed there one Christmas and paid extra and had our room decorated with a Christmas tree and stickers. It was so festive. The buffet there at night is fabulous we had it on the meal plan though I think it’s expensive. ( Apologies if I’ve commented on this before.)

[@jackieoconnor4926]

We’ve stayed at Newport Bay. It’s ok. It’s not up to the Florida standard of the top tier Disney hotels. And it’s a fair walk to the parks. Personally I wouldn’t stay there again, so don’t feel you’re missing out on too much Leigh 😊

[@2601Wendy]

Love your vlogs guys, well done. You know, you can post any purchases back home during your trip. Don't have to store everything in the van. Enjoy the holiday!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for the tip and for watching 👌👍

[@sarabooker1953]

Care Bear was Lotso Hugs. Penguins from Mary Poppins. Great vlog. Love the slight delay buying the cup and spray at the end as if it wasn't going to happen!

[@bobbecnel]

I’d be disappointed also with so much construction/disruption in the Parks. Looking forward to the new adventures. Thanks for taking us along.

[@valerielawley8477]

We are thinking of going next in September hopefully all will be finished by then

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Fingers crossed 🤞

[@Glesga_lassie]

It won't unfortunately, we go in September too and have just checked online and this is going on until at least next year

[@helentaylor6096]

Le Gouffre de Padirac is well worth a visit xx

[@SummerMundy95]

Nick turning around while Leigh is still walking to go back for the scent - that is me 😆 love that. Great vlog! Been watching for a while but just made an account so I can finally comment 🎉

We went a couple of years ago and half the rides were closed too … very disappointed

Same. I'm livid.

[@rayansaudi8459]

I love Disney Paris so much and it’s so unique 👌 but unfortunately This park is underrated. The last rides that opened there were Space Mountain and Indiana Jones in 1995, and no attractions have opened there in 30 years. But the good thing is that Disney Studios has a huge expansion that will open in the first quarter of 2026. Before the expansion, it was ranked as the worst Disney park in the world.

[@ryanshaw8239]

Love your vlogs guys loving the road trip so far

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you ❤️

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Went to California Adventure when it was half blocked off and you had to walk forever to get to anything. We thought the same thing, it shouldn’t be so much being half closed. Don’t think Disney should be building areas that depend on actors because we all know they don’t want to pay them. Marvel, Star Wars. Especially Marvel, that area is very boring.

[@czeshirecat6278]

Was this in June, as it’s almost the end of July now? So glad to see this arrive today :)

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes it was june

[@janetovens756]

This would be perfect time to buy stuff because you don't have to try and fit it all in a suitcase

I have to confess I was today years old when I realized that Chip and Dale have different-colored noses: thanks for my continuing education (though to be fair, I haven’t spent a great deal of time pondering the differences between the two chipmunks). And for what it’s worth, when I was younger, I’m sure I preferred milk chocolate, but now I would take dark chocolate any day of the week.
