IS A DLP ANNUAL PASS WORTH IT?! MICKEY SNACKS, 30 YEARS OF THE LION KING & MARVEL HOTEL! July'24

[@Tracey_Armstrong]

Even though the new annual passes are more expensive, it’s still been totally worth it for us too, especially as we stay offsite - but usually still within walking distance to the parks. I am addicted to those Casa de Coco burritos too - maybe they put something in them, like the White Witch did to the Turkish delight in Narnia 🤭 #delicious We have never been able to book for the Downtown buffet prior to our trips, but have always been able to snag a table when we ask at reception - and they have offered us a choice of multiple evenings too. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Yeah, as much as we hate to admit it, the annual passes have still worked out better for us when we factored in how much it would be to stay onsite. Those burritos are hard to beat in terms of quick service at DLP I would say. Good tip for Downtown. Thank you for watching 😀 x

I think an annual pass is definitely worth it, especially if you visit regularly like you both seem to do! If I could afford it, I’d definitely get a pass myself - I’d love the chance to visit Disneyland Paris on a regular basis! But the first time I went it was truly magical and something I’ll never forget 😊😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Yeah, with the loss of the some of the benefits we weren't going to buy them again however when we costed up alongside the price of the hotels at the moment it actually worked out still better. We hope you manage to get another trip in soon. It definitely stays with you after you leave. Thank you for watching x

I cried watching the Lion King show when we went in November! There's just nothing else like it!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It really gets you in the feels doesn’t it. The music is such *chefs kiss*. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@jazzydebs]

Hi there, interesting chat about why you decided on the annual passes again 🙌 And I guess as you say its trying to work out what's best for you? Aww love the new BTM EARS Helena, fab that you got a bargain with them, YAY! What a wonderful show Lion King is , love it so much. Disney Village is going to look amazing when its all done but I'm sentimental & still really miss Planet Hollywood & Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show -both iconic!!! lol x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment 😀 We always appreciate it. The BTM ears were a great purchase. That cowboy hat makes me smile every time I see it. The lion king has just incredible music doesn’t it. It gets all the emotions out. We feel sad we never ate at planet Hollywood. Interested to see how it’s all going to look when finished. X

[@chriswilcox9215]

It looks like for short queues you should have visited during the Olympics. I'm hoping on one of your short trips with this pass, you get to try out some new food venues.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oh really? Didn’t think it would be as Paris is hosting. We’ll see if we can get to some restaurants. It’s all based on what we can budget for a trip. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@chriswilcox9215]

@@sohelenaandmartyn That's probably what everyone else thought and hence why it's quiet. It's almost like the original opening day all over again.

I’m currently watching this vlog from the plane on my way to DLP!! As a WDW cast member, I love watching your vlogs to study up! I’m so excited for the next few days!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

No way! That’s absolutely fantastic. Thank you for all the work you do as a wdw cast member. You make such wonderful memories. Hope you have a fantastic trip at DLP. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@57sapke]

Love it, we've been in 2010 and also visit the Lion King but this show is magnificent.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much! 😀 Really can’t beat the Lion King music. It really gets to all the emotions. X

Helena I have those exact earrings! They are my favourite! ❤

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Ah fab! I good taste. love the Ana Luisa earrings 😀 thank you for watching x

[@Autumnsdisneyadventures]

Was really interested to hear about the annual pass as its something I am considering for future if I want to be able to visit during multiple seasons during a year without breaking the bank too much! When you say you can't visit christmas week can you still visit early december to see the decorations? x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😀 thank you for watching and for the comment. Great question! I just checked our registration dates for the silver pass and we can book up until the 20th December so yes, they’d be opportunities to see the decorations. Hope that helps. X

[@sandravl9354]

We got a photo with cedric a few trips back, he’s absolutely lovely!☺️

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Amazing! We’ll have to ask him. We get star struck whenever we see him. 😂 Thank you for watching x

As I am watching this after the 14th, Happy Bastille Day from the States :-)

😀 🙌 Thank you so much for watching X

[@leahmills9771]

How much is car parking? Do you know. We are staying off site to start before moving on site and wanted to go in and use the village before we stay xx

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😀 Thank you for watching. Great question. I found this on the DLP website so hopefully it’s helpful. There’s also a car park by Disney Village which is a little cheaper. Disney Car Park Cars (including cars with bicycle or ski box on top) under 2m high: €30. Vehicles over 2m high and with more than 9 seats: €40

Thank you to the 4th of July shoutout ❤

We hope you had a good one! 🙌😀 thank you for watching x

[@thegirlnextdoor5766]

I've always wondered how a Disney show compares to the full on West End musical. For example, the Lion king, is that a spin of from the musical? Is the quality of the performance the same? Lots of love!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😀 great question. They’re both different. The show at DLP is a quick run through of the story with the main songs featured. The songs are different at times in terms of tone and style for the dlp show. The quality is very high and the performers are fantastic. Highly recommend. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@sharononeill3440]

It was me asking about pirates smell, was it still there 🙏 you didn't get in there on this vlog x

[@agentXphoenix]

Yes, the bromine smell is still at Pirates. Small World too.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We definitely were able to smell it more at Small World on this trip. We think it’s still there at pirates but wasn’t as strong we thought. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@sharononeill3440]

@sohelenaandmartyn How funny I'm actually just watching that vlog now, small world will have to be my new favourite if it's got the smell. Love the up cup definitely having one of those x
