Hi All,
By chance, I've come across a listing for a TV Programme called "DISNEYLAND ET SES SECRETS".
So for those of you who receive FRANCE 3, it's on on Monday at 20:35.
It's gonna be in French and it sounds really interessting:
Déjà vingt ans que Disneyland s'est installé en France. A l'occasion de cet anniversaire, Mireille Dumas nous emmène au coeur de la féérie, en pénétrant avec ses caméras dans des lieux habituellement tenus secrets et totalement fermés au public. Derrière d'imposantes barrières de sécurité, il existe une ville bien cachée, implantée tout au tour du Parc où travaillent plus de 14 500 personnes. Au total, plus de 500 métiers, artisans du luxe, artistes, danseurs, décorateurs, doreuse à la feuille d'or, costumiers, jardiniers, créateur de topiaires, barbier, cascadeurs... sont employés à entretenir la «magie» grâce à un savoir-faire hors pair

And even if you don't speak french, I'm sure there are gonna be some great Pictures, so i persume it's worth watching.
Maybe it will also be available for download after it has aired.
Enjoy!

Hi, can you perhaps advice if you see a link for downloading this after it has aired please?
Please please please could someone upload this to youtube, it's 2 hours long as well and has a lot of behind the scenes stuff from the description. Despite the fact I've worked backstage I'd like to find out about what I didn't get to see while there.
Thanks!
For now, you can watch it online right here: //http://www.pluzz.fr/disneyland-et-ses-secrets.html
or //http://www.pluzz.fr/replay/
I'm currently at work, so I can't really check if it works well...
From what I understand from the Website, they will eventually also sell it for download, though I'm not 100% sure.
I only watched half of it yesterday and recorded the rest, but what I've seen so far, was awesome. It's truly a unique opportunity to look behind the scenes. They show you everything, the Costume department, how the Dancers prepare for the Parade (I didn't know that they don't play the same role every day...), how they do restauration, how they fix the animatronics, how they maintain the parade floats, all the work they do with the plants, etc.
It's definitely worth watching, though I might warn some of you, that it could be quite a spoiler. If you don't want to know how the magic works behind the scene, don't watch it.
Enjoy! :thumbs:
If you live outside france you cant watch it on France3 website but i found it on youtube

Did Phillipe Gas (by accident ) said that the characters don't talk ...yet ?!
@ disneymad1000: Perfect, thank you! :thumbs:
Ok so my French aint that good, so when the guy on the Fantillusion float was talking he mentiond something about 6-7 million euro's? Is that the price the parade costs to make? Or to operate yearly?
OK, French isn't my first language either, so don't quote me on it...
From what I understood Phillippe Gas does actually say that the Characters don't talk... yet. He also says that he doesn't want them to talk to him even if he passes them backstage.
As for the Fantillusion Floats, they are actually talking about the light bulbs, 700'000 per Float (can that be accurate?).

That's what he said. Don't expect talking mickey any time soon. Gas seems like a nice guy though.
I`m half way throu the report. It`s very interesting to see, whats going on behind the scene. Thank you for posting this.
If I were twenty years younger, that would make me want to work there...

Oh I see, I tought I heared the word euro first time round afther he said the amount, but with a second look at it I don't hear that anymore, so the amount of lights makes more sense then :p
Does anyone know what the parade costs then? Been always curious about that, but never found any information on it.

Yeah that did annoy me a bit haha
Disappointed they showed the face parade characters getting ready, that's the kind of stuff Walt would never have allowed.
They could have shown some of the other things going on as well behind the scenes, the more regular jobs....shops, restaurants, rides and guest flow. But it was still very well made none the less.
I found this pretty fascinating, to be honest - yes the backstage of the dancers was a bit "revealing" but at least we didn't see a princess running around in her underwear! ;) So I think showing the dancers was okay. (Also spotted some people that I recognise. Shhhh!)
I wish there were subtitles so I could really understand what they are saying - but I loved seeing the rehab of the Alice ride and also the Galley.
But the costume section was just amazing - the effort those people put into making the dresses and costumes is just awe inspiring. The details are amazing - knowing they hand-sew most of them!
It's nice to see the making of the park. But honestly my respect for cast-members and back-stage workers has just gone up - they really do work hard keeping the magic and making the park perfect. :thumbs:
I agree, there are a few "spoiler moments".
Personally, I was surprised and relieved that they only interviewed Cast Members who loved their jobs. With everything that is going on at the moment with strikes and demands from the workers, they could just as easily shown People complaining about working for Disney and I'm happy that you don't hear a word of complaint throughout the Programme...
@Catalina: That's because the cast members interviewed in the documentary are not real attraction cast members. They are cast members from the entertainment department who had to make it look better for the outside world... They even had to say certain sentences! All fake...
Hi Jens...
I didn't so much mean what the People that were interviewed said, but what France 3 decided to show. It could have been a completly different piece and I for one am pleased they decided to make it a positive one. :thumbs:
Devastated that this isn't in English/there are no English subtitles as my French is pretty limited but can't wait to watch it all nonetheless! Great find, thank you for sharing!
some really nice person with time to spare put up 1 with english subtitles cheers :p
I agree with Sulley! ;) Does anyone know if there is a way to view it with French subtitles?
I was just wondering if there is a version up on Youtube of this programme with English subtitles yet? Unfortunately I haven't found one just yet and it looks like a brilliant programme.
