Oh yes Winter Efteling is so much fun. They have an ice skate place set up then.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oooooh, would love to see that! Definitely want to do a winter trip 😊 thank you for watching x

[@swwiper8965]

Finally going to a different country this summer, and we are lucky enough to go there.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We hope you have the most amazing time 😊 thank you for watching x

[@Yvonne-Ysanne]

Winter Efteling is also magical! It's a fabelvis (instead of a whale) at Symbolica.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Ah fantastic. Thank you for letting us know. We would love to see it at winter. I bet it’s truly magical. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@steffi9536]

Ohh yessss please do Efteling at Christmas 🎄 🙏 if you can! 😊:)

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We definitely hope to visit during winter one day 😊 thank you for watching x

Really enjoyed your vlogs, did you know that since you are back from Efteling there has been a fire 2 times in Raveleijn?! They had to stop with the show for a while. Let me tell you a little about Baron 1889........you must know that I am already 62 years old and physically handicapt (very poor back) and my wife is 65 years old. We last went to the Efteling 2 years ago for a stay of 4 days and we were very intimidated by Baron. We didn't have the guts the first 3 days but we decided to do it on our very last day in the park as first in the morning since we stayed in the hotel and got half an hour extra in the park, so this one is the best than to do first because the waiting lines can easily go up to an hour on busy days.......And you know what?? We LOVED it, it is actually a lot of fun, the pre-shows and the theming are brilliant and the ride itself is also a lot of fun (we actually got front row), so no need to be afraid! Thumbs up from The Netherlands!!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We heard about the fires. That’s such sad news. We hope everyone was okay. Thank you for sharing your story of the your experience on Baron. That’s really giving Martyn some confidence to conquer it on our next trip. Thank you for watching 😊 x

If you look at the pavement in the fairytale forest you can clearly see what the main road is. There are some offshoots but they are made from a different kind of bricks. The fairytale forest has three entrances/exits. The main entrance is near the large indoor caroussel and entering the fairytale forest through that entrance gives the best experience as the fairytale forest is designed with a certain walking direction. I do not recommend using the app as part of the fun is exploring the area for yourself.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

This is so useful. Thank you for making it clearer for everyone. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@angelajenkinson6369]

Great vlogs from Efteling. Glad you like my recommendation of potatoes on a stick. We had the BBQ ones too. I had no idea all that accommodation was at the front. We stayed in The Efteling hotel which is located at the back of the park. The rooms in that hotel was amazing. Also couldn't believe we were on a Norway cruise the same time as you guys. We were on the Anthem of the seas. Love to you both x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching 😊 we’ve just looked at the suites inside the Efteling hotel and love how they’re themed after different rides. No way! Hope you had an incredible time on the cruise. The Fjords are stunning. X

[@mrsclairemoose]

You both seemed to enjoy Efteling so much it looks amazing! Can't wait for the cruise vlogs 😊😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much. It was an amazing trip. We hope you enjoy the cruise vlogs. 😊 x

[@marcusfranconium3392]

The pricing of the park is also quite reasonable . and having good qualtiy themed hotels that are regular prices work , Unlike some disney hotels that went bust this year . with having ridiculous prices.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We definitely thought the ticket prices were reasonable when compared to other parks. Especially with what you were getting inside the park. It’s a great alternative. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x

[@princesshunnypot3552]

[@saskiapanter]

I went to the Efteling with a friend of mine on thr second day of Christmas, it was fantastic. From November on its WinterEfteling with snow ans lot's of trees decorated. Fireplaces where you can get hot chocolate or Glu-wine or hot chocolate and marshmallows on a stick. Etc etc etc

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Winter Efteling is on our bucket list. The way people have sold it to us makes us so excited to visit one day. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@rutgerdejong1660]

I've been with Christmas and it's very magical! Everything is decorated in the Christmas/winter theme. All the fairytales in the forest get themed too with decor pieces and the even dress the fairytale characters in winter clothes. Usually they make a huge ice skating ring too and the make some very cozy winter/christmas markets around firepits on the main squares in the park, with little cabins as foodstalls that sell wintery snacks/foods. But be prepared because when I went it was VERY VERY cold. We had to go inside a lot to warm up. For me it was a very magical once in a lifetime experience but I won't do it again because I'm not someone who like the cold haha.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Ah you’ve really painted a magical Christmas scene with the way you described it there. Would love to be there dressed in our hats, coats and scarfs taking it all in. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@RHTubeOnYouTube]

Thank you both for bring back so many magical memories for us. We have definitely got to go back. Hope you've managed to get your land-legs back 😁

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We would love to return! It was so magical. Got a special place in our hearts. We have 😂 thank you for watching x

[@swiftieswift6754]

I was in the Efteling at new year's eve and it was magical! The was a place where you could ice skate!! So I did that and had the best hot chocolate afterwards❤️ I definitely recommend coming back around Christmas time. Also the park was open till 2 am at new years!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Would love to spend new year in a theme park. I bet the atmosphere is fantastic. You’ve put ideas in our head now. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x

[@natasjavanvugt]

We were a week later than you in Efteling. Baron was open then. We live nearby, as a Child a had an annual pass for several years. I know Efteling so well. Nice to see Bosrijk. We dont have to sleep over. The Efteling vlogs are the first vlogs I have seen from you. Saw Disneyland Parijs 2021 as well. You are so fun to watch, so positive.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We’ll have to return to try Baron! We heard it’s so good. We’re so happy that you joined us on our trip. It’s lovely to have you around. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@rechtebanana]

good video, I'm wondering if you're planning on visiting phantasialand at some point :)

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching 😊 there’s so many amazing parks. We would definitely love to visit in the future x

[@anbelgium3039]

Martyn, you are so cute! I also want a husband like you who loves fairytails, beautiful and magic parks 🤭😅 You are so lucky Helena 😘 🤗 The Efteling is my favorite place to be 🍄✨, thank you for the video's 🥰 My luck is to have a daughter with the same interest and her kids also ofcourse 😉 😍 Thanks, An

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

❤️❤️ thank you so much for these kind words. That sounds like a wonderful scenario. Experiencing parks through a child’s eyes I bet is magical. X

[@kirstyangus4155]

We are hoping for a trip to DLP this summer. Last time we went was 2019. I know Fast Pass has changed. Can you explain?

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😊 so they turned it from fast pass to Disney premier access. I’ll send you the link to the page as we’re not entirely sure. We haven’t used it on our trips. You can pay per ride or there’s some different passes I think. www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/attractions/disney-premier-access/ x

[@arturobianco848]

Do come back for winterefteling thats also very nice just don't come in the hoilday becasue its so busy then.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

We would love to come back for winter. We’ve heard such amazing things. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@JennyAmponsah]

Wow Efteling looks amazing!!! How does it compare to Disneyland Paris?

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oooh we can’t say 😂 we don’t like to compare them too much as they are both unique and have their own styles and identity. Efteling was really special. Such a clean and beautiful park. Combo of new ride technology and classic. Thrill rides and family rides. And Disneyland Paris has our hearts too. We’d recommend them both. Thank you for watching x

[@Wrecker3D]

That "Gate" that spits fire, actually caught fire ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/laaki4qMi7SXrs0 ) June 11th, I don't know if the show is running (it's not marked "Closed" on the map so if it's running it's probably gonna miss some (Fire) effects)

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oh no! We heard about a fire happening. We’re glad everyone was safe. Operculum it returns as it’s a great show. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@Almerepresentsm4rc0]

So how many times has she played the dream flight vinyl now :)

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

😂😂 it’s such an amazing soundtrack. Thank you for watching x

[@wardcollector2503]

Which is better? Disneyland or Efteling?

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Aw we really don’t compare them as they are their own entity. We like to enjoy each for what they have to offer. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ x

[@TTHBLOX_]

Next thing. Winter and summer efteling

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Would love to return for the different seasons. Such an amazing park 😊 thank you for watching x
