5 SECRETS You Never Noticed At Disneyland Paris

[@Kerberos.Cosplay]

One of my favourite Paris details, is in the walk through attraction in the upper levels of the castle, theres 2 sets of armour, and a statue of a crow, if you take flash photos of them, they reflect back the 3 colours of the fairies!

[@gertsmeekes]

True and they make sleeping noise

[@JasonLucio-g2h]

I thought you would say something about the French Colors. Huh

[@spengler2258]

So happy to see Disneyland Paris being covered. As someone living in the UK, Paris is the closest park and thus the one I’ve been to the most (I think the first time I went was when I was like 4, and the last time early January 2020). And as much as I like the Magic Kingdom and whatnot in Florida, Paris is still my favourite park and will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@rune802]

Same! I am so happy seeing it finally getting recognised! It will always be my favourite park out of them all :)

Another cool thing about sleeping beauty castle is that if you look at the stained glass window at the front of the castle from the inside, the image on the window switches from doves to roses every few seconds

I’m still sad about the Phantom Manor refurb. Their decision to give Melanie several other past fiancées takes away so much tragedy from the story... and I miss the cackling Phantom in the ballroom window, the rotting corpse of the Phantom at the end, and Skelanie. Oh well

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

As French speaker who’ve done Phantom Manor so many times since I was kid. The refurbishment was necessary

[@NanneEsqui13]

I think if it was tweaked to have been her father arranging these marriages instead of her dating them it would have made it easier to keep the portraits and also add to why she wanted to run away with the man she chose

[@disneyparksstarwarslover7638]

Yeah I miss old phantom manor too I miss the Skelanie corpse.

[@phantomology13]

Skelanie 😭 The old story was better. But the new visuals are WAY better. The old portraits looked pretty bad, the faces looked uncanny and the anatomy wasn’t great, like in one of them one of Melanie’s hands is visibly 2 times bigger than the other one. Also, the melanie animatronics were so uncanny and outdated. They looked straight out of FNaF

[@coyoteartist]

Just a note, Louis XIV helped popularized topiary, when he hired Andre Le Notre to design the gardens at Versailles. So the box trees actually have a French connection. On an additional for fun note, Louis XV and several of his friends actually dressed as topiary yew trees at the famed Yew Tree Ball in 1745.

[@armelleg.1297]

I go to Disneyland Paris quite often (as I am French & a AP holder) but there are some details I didn't even know about, like the snails on the castle! Great video :)

[@cathypiper9373]

Best castle of all the parks , hands down !

[@Cindacry]

Cool DLP castle fact that noone ever seems to know (even my CM friend when we watched the firework show with her!): The glass window at the very top spire, lowers and drops at the beginning and end of the firework shows to allow the laser star to come out, which is used in the castle-originated lasers within the shows. It's always sneaky coming out at the beginning and barely noticeable, at the end the star stays out for a good few minutes after the show finishes before slowly folding back in, and the window being raised back up, so nobody ever seems to notice it. It's so cool! Another thing: I'm an animation lecturer, and I always tell my students about this, but the art of animation building waiting room is THE best room on property. Apart from having original zoetropes etc etc, it has one of the original multiplane cameras setup in there tucked against a wall, imported from California. It's one of 2 or 3 Disney owned MP cameras still existing! We always so to cry and look at it before being ushered into the next room, we don't care about the attraction as such, we just want to be in that lobby!! I have loads more if you ever want em!

[@CAndrewNelson]

Mansion! I really enjoyed this video. Never knew about the snails. That's priceless.

[@tomaarten]

hardcore star wars fan here, 100% agreed

[@wendowslive]

I must say... It's amazing to hear the Star Wars soundtrack, just before the launch😂🙈

[@chompythebeast]

One of the greatest tragedies of the current Disney Parks situation. Only things I can think of that feel worse are things like the unused People Mover/Rocket Rod tracks in Disneyland. The difference is, however, that the Space Mountain fix seems a lot more feasible than the Tomorrowland Track fix, which just makes it all the more maddening

[@___David__]

Nope. Absolutely not. HyperSpace Mountain is far better with the Star Wars overlay.

[@svis6888]

@@chompythebeast it's temporary though. We're saved

[@LuckyLatias1996]

Apparently the black grave originally was for a character that never made it into the final cut of the ride, thats why there was no inscription on it. The tomb is now associated with Melanie

[@disneyfan8178]

(Mansion) Maybe the black grave was intended for (wait for it!), Jean Laffite!

[@SecretsDisney]

But Mélanie is trapped in the Manor, it cannot be her inside the grave...

[@LuckyLatias1996]

@@SecretsDisney That makes sense, I heard it was Melanie's because it is right next to her parents one. Considering there is no inscription like Henry and Martha to say who it buried there, It could be anyone's. I personally think its for Melanie maybe an empty grave they put there because she wasn't seen for years and they assumed she was dead. Maybe it is a nod to the Beating Heart Bride, we can only theorise.

[@MadisonC]

Oooo this is the video you were talking about on stream!! I’m really excited for it! Also, thanks Dallin for answering my question in stream. Using it, I was able to listen to the podcast and I loved it! The Haunted “Mansion” is a truly fascinating topic.

[@doombuggywa]

The Beating Heart grave made more sense that it was the bride's grave before they changed the story. When you entered the bride's bedroom she was an old woman meaning she had lived her entire life waiting for her groom and died of old age. But now they've kept her a young woman clear up to the bedroom. Oh and I don't know if they still do it but smoke would also come out of the chimney outside.

[@lydiahansen9798]

I live in England so Disneyland Paris is my closest park. It sometimes doesn't feel like it gets the love it deserves. thank you

[@BlickThePancake]

as a dlp nut, I think that the lore for phantom manor is that melanie is more of a dickensian Miss Havisham character, I remember earlier promotional materials talking about how she eternally waited for her groom in her wedding dress, I'm not sure if the tomb is hers, but all the recent updates have sort of strayed from the original concept - so it becomes a little bit confusing!

[@maxvandalfsen8273]

(Mansion) I had an annual pass for Disneyland Paris before everything closed due to covid. One of my favorite secrets in the park is found in the Thunder Mesa Riverboats. When the park opened it operated with two boats, a sternwheeler named Tom Sawyer and a sidewheeler names Molly Brown. Almost ten years after the park opened, in 2005, Molly Brown had an accident, causing her engines to overheat. She was put out of commission and Tom Sawyer took over her duties for over 6 years while she was put on a dry dock for repairs. During these 6 years, Tom Sawyer was also heavily damaged due to the lake partially freezing over because of Paris' climate. In 2011 Molly Brown was rebuilt from scratch and resumed operations, but Tom Sawyer was beyond repair and was parked along the side of the river, with Disney eventually building a silo around it. To this day (well not technically this day since the park is closed), when riding the riverboat in Paris, you can see the silo on your starboard side, knowing that the old riverboat is still inside, likely never to come out.

[@kefke44]

I think you’re talking about the “Mark Twain”. Also Disney did announce (a year or two ago at D23) they were going to restore it and put it back into service. Fun fact, when the Molly Brown is closed for refurbishments and they move it into the dry dock, they move the Mark Twain out of the dry dock and park it at the boarding platform under a big tarp.

Whahahaha, you had me with the snails xD I'm from The Netherlands and we have a saying; 'O dat is met de Franse slag gedaan'.

For the Phantom at the window : i doubt it's a call back to the evil queen because she is aslo in Disneyland Paris at fantasyland, over the snow white ride😅 For the Snails : it's also a nob to the castle that inspired the one in the parck.

[@patrickdaly5988]

The Bandstand exists in DLP owing to the entrance gates. Unlike MK or DL, there's one directly behind it and in line with the castle. The imagineers needed something to obscure the castle from outside the park. They wanted the reveal to happen once you rounded Main St.
