FIRST TIME AT WINTER EFTELING! TRAVEL DAY, SNOW IN THE PARK & LOONSCHE LAND TREEHOUSE TOUR! 2024 AD

[@tbloemink]

The ‘planets’ that you noticed in Droomvlucht were there before but got damaged in the recent renovation and needed to be restored. So when you were here before you didn’t see them and a projection of stars was displayed instead. They were put back in the end of 2023 😎 The magic wands for interactive stuff are not sold any more. The wands you saw in shop aren’t the interactive ones :( they were sold before and as far as I know the system wasn’t working as often as they wanted. Great video nonetheless! Glad to see you spent time in the Volk van Laaf, it’s easily missed and that’s sad, it’s such a gem.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching and for the information. We're so glad that the planets were put back. They really makes such an impression when you go into that room. Aw that's a shame about the wands. Volk Van Laaf is such a great part of the park. Needed to be highlighted. 😀 x

[@RHTubeOnYouTube]

I don't know whether you see yourselves as influencers..... but you have definitely influenced us to look at going in May 😁😍

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Ooooh, we hope you have the best time if you go ahead with the booking. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@pandaGitte]

We always start with Droomvlucht and end with it, because it gives you the magic of Efteling!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

What a ride that is. We absolutely love it. We’ve even got the diffuser in our house thanks to this trip 😂😂 thank you for watching x

[@disneyanddaysout]

Om my, the snow makes the park even more beautiful!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

The snow was such a pleasant surprise. It really gave it such a winter wonderland atmosphere. Thank you for watching 😊 xx

[@TTHBLOX_]

Indeed. But sadly due to the snow and construction. A lot is closed atm 😢

[@TTHBLOX_]

Welcome back! Been waiting for this one. Was binging the last efteling vlogs earlier today!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much 😊 It was wonderful to return to this fantastic park. x

[@Margieeee96]

Yay, I’m so excited for another Efteling vlogseries! I went to the Winter Efteling for the first time on New Years day and it really is extra magical! Have fun! 🥳

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It really is so magical at winter. We weren’t sure what to expect but we loved it. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We couldn’t believe we got snow. Such a treat. Thank you for watching 😊 xx

[@lisaheath6257]

Been waiting all week for this! We’re going in May and can’t wait although need to make sure we turn left after coming off the tunnel and not automatically head to Disney 😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

😂😂 yeah, it does feel strange the first time doing it after Disneyland Paris trips. We hope you have a fabulous time. Thank you for watching x

[@carinaaa_x]

i think winter efteling might be my favourite time to visit the park, it's just so wonderful :) also i love the doctor who scarf!!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It was a really special time to visit. So festive. Aw amazing! I do love Doctor Who. I also had a David Tennant t shirt on for one of the days but that was hidden due to the cold 😂 thank you for watching x

[@cassievankuijen1071]

Ow i ❤the nursery at volk van Laaf😂

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We did love the different inhabitants. Such a cool part of the park. 😊 Thank you for watching x

[@JillandPaul24260]

What a magical first vlog. The treehouse sat in the forest with the snow falling really did make it look like a fairytale. Helena, loved the earrings you were wearing. Really pretty.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We couldn't believe that we were lucky enough to get the snow. 😀 Thank you, they are from Ana Luisa. Thank you for watching x

[@debdelooze7993]

Enjoy your visit! The park looks so different in the winter with snow. As always, thanks for taking me with you on your trips!!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

The snow was such a welcome surprise. It really added to the park. You’re most welcome. Thank you for joining us 😊 x

It was lovely to meet you with my mom❤ really made her day🫶

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It really meant a lot to us. ❤️ Thank you for stopping to say hi. Knowing we have your support is amazing. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@mariekeborgers-hagen3178]

@@sohelenaandmartyn It sure made my day seeing you at the ice rink and talk to you. You were the reason we hopped in the car and braved the snow. We always have a good time at the Efteling, but meeting you made it even more magical. Loved this first vlog and can't wait to see the rest (esp. the one with you 2 on the ice of course).

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

@@mariekeborgers-hagen3178 aw thank you so much again. Oooh yes, there’s certainly some footage from the ice. 😂😂😂 x

[@mariailariachp]

Oooooooh I love the song from Onward sooo much❤

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Such a great song! 🎶

[@courtneymartin-ie2qp]

I am loving the vlog already

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jeffreymentink6411]

you guys should visit the CARO show next time when you are visiting the Efteling. It´s a really great show to watch ☺

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We’d absolutely love too. Next time we’ll try and factor a trip to when it will be on. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@marielle.leonie7752]

I loved this vlog so much! Everything looks so beautiful in the snow :D

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It was so beautiful! Can’t believe how lucky we were with the snow ❄️ 🥰

[@marielle.leonie7752]

@@sohelenaandmartyn yeah it hardly ever snows here in the Netherlands anymore so you really were :)

[@andiolaim]

Some info: Pardoes' Magical 'Twinkeltoorts' that could activate several small show elements is no longer being sold in the shops. What you saw is a smaller version of it, which doesn't interact with the spots. The planets in Droomvlucht fell down and broke during a recent renovation, and it took them months to return to the space scene. The miniatures are made by Luville, and they have a pretty huge collection by this point. They are sold in both Efteling and garden centers all over the Netherlands.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for the info 😊 we love learning more about the park and the history. We think we might have to get a miniature in the future. They’re so well done. Be great to have a piece of Efteling at home. Thank you for watching x

[@RVTOYA]

Im so happy you guys decided to go back!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We loved every second. It was fantastic! Thank you for watching 😊 xx

[@Rascarrr]

Efteling yayyyyyyyyyyyy

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@2903soph]

Loved the vlog! Can’t wait for more! Good choice of film, I was lucky enough to be an extra and it’s me that Cinderella bumps into on the bridge.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Nooo way!!! We’ll have to watch that scene again. That’s freakin awesome. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x

[@theshelpols]

The rides looks so magical and merch with the plates and 3d puzzle is something I totally would buy :D

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

They have a ton of great merch. Those puzzles looked really good. Had them for a few rides/buildings. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@ilsekuiper01]

Loved your vlog again! The joy,the smiles you have all day long. The roomspray… I have droomvlucht and also symbolica. I spray twice a day if i can. But I spray at night the smell last trough the night and a lot of time in the morning. Love these roomsprays. I think you got your bucketlist checked! It was really quit in the park. I missed you there. I was 2 days in the Efteling 😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment. Spoiler, we bought a Droomvlucht diffuser and it’s so good! We’re sad we didn’t buy the other ones. 😂😂 x

[@ilsekuiper01]

@@sohelenaandmartyn so you have to come back to Efteling to buy the other spray 😊

[@arev]

Amazing that it snowed when you were there! You are both so enthusiastic, i love it :)

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We were lucky with the snow. We've since heard it is very rare. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching 😀 x

If you guys ever going out this way you guys should definitely go to phantasia land

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We’ll add it to our list of places to look in to 😊 thank you for watching x

[@SuperDutchjohn]

One little warning, when you would like to buy the magic wand, it is NOT interactive anymore in the park, they had too many issues with them, the wands they have now are different from the interactive ones. They still have the points for this wand thru the whole park but they don't work anymore! Looking forward to your next vlog, thumbs up!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for letting us know. We might make an in KZbin amendment so that people don't think they are interactive. We appreciate your help on this. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@KittyMeowWow]

Amazing guys, loving it. Do you know when the hotel opens inside the park? That would be awesome!! 😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

I think that the idea is 2025 for the opening of the Grand Hotel. 😀 Thank you for watching x

[@jaychristiaans2177]

For the next time you should visit efteling hotel to have done all 3 resorts, and a good thing they just opened the droomvlucht suite!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We love the look of the themed suites in the Efteling hotel. We'd love to maybe try one out on our next trip. The Vliegende Hollander themed one looks cool! But oooooh Droomvlucht would be hard to miss. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@MableM1985]

Looks like the dots on the walls are wood knots.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Ah thank you! We did wonder what they were. 😊 Thank you for watching x

[@JennyAmponsah]

Wow Efteling looks amazing in the winter! Do you know if you can get the Eurostar there, or would you have to fly? I know you drove there.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hi Jenny, hope you’re well. We absolutely love Efteling. 😀 Highly recommend it. I just checked and it would be a bit of a journey with Eurostar, Eurostar from London to Brussels. then take a train from Brussels to Breda then another train from Breda to Tilburg then a bus from Tilburg to the Efteling. Eindhoven is the nearest airport. Hope that helps. 😀 thank you for watching x

[@JennyAmponsah]

@@sohelenaandmartynhahah I’m well thank you, how are you? Oh wow, that does sound like a mission! Flying it will have to be even though I’m terrified of it! Duly noted and thank you!

[@JokerNL070]

Disney movie in efteling? Dont know about that but happy you guys injoy it

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

😂 we did enjoy Efteling. Such a fantastic place. Thank you for watching x

[@ryanpaterson4175]

Did your passports get stamped? We're travelling on Le Shuttle next month and last time we travelled the French passport control forgot to stamp! Caused drama on the way back 😂 love the content. Hoping to visit Efteling one day.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oh no! Hope it wasn't too bad for you. I believe they did, yes. We'd definitely recommend Efteling. Thank you so much for watching. ♥️ x

You sadly can't buy thos interactive wands anymore, where only available for a year or so :/

[@waltbackaert8578]

@@sohelenaandmartyn yeah it really is a pitty, strangly the effects still work, but yeah... no more wands. They werent that expensive either, 20€ or something. But they just let the project go.. Anyways, nice vlog!
