Title: Magicstars Trip 29.4. - 1.5.
Post by: MagicStar on May 10, 2010, 10:23:26 PM
Heya :-)

sorry a bit late - but because I promised a few guys here to post my pics... here we go :-)

We booked very spontaneous. Decided to go Wednesday evening. Startet the same night and arrived in the early Morning!  :mrgreen:

We stayed at Radisson, because it was a very good offer!

Service was great. Breakfast superb!!!

Die rooms were huge, clean and in a top state!

As we arrived in the Park, we first saw the beautiful flowers everywhere

New for me: Every Counter-Service Restaurant now has an additional sign, where you can see which kind of food is offered there:

Next door at the Studios: RC-Racer becomes its covering

And more bamboo

Painting Studio 1 continues. If you have a close look, you can see that is white now. I think its a kind of grounding

Insteat the Hollywood Hills look disastrous. I really hope they will fix that soon!

At lunch we saw, that the people use Blockbuster Cafe far less than Restaurant en Coulisse. I took these pics within 10 minutes:

and now Blockbuster Cafe:

They had some new merchandise. Unfortunately I didn´t found something for me

At Disneyland Park I really loved the new Show! It was really fun! Far better than last year!

And now: The Tea-Cups! When we arrived, they were still working.

(//http://pp.mousekingdom.com/albums/userpics/11737/tassen_dach.jpg)

Saturday they opened again.  The facade was repainted and all light bulbs replaced

(//http://pp.mousekingdom.com/albums/userpics/11737/tassen_birnen.jpg)

Even the floor was painted again. However, I was somewhat disappointed that the cups itself and the lanterns were not renovated:

(//http://pp.mousekingdom.com/albums/userpics/11737/tassen_rand.jpg)

(//http://pp.mousekingdom.com/albums/userpics/11737/tassen_untertassen.jpg)

(//http://pp.mousekingdom.com/albums/userpics/11737/tassen_lampions.jpg)

I hope they will do that soon.

What I have noticed very negative, that the whole park cries out for renovations. And in all subject areas. Especially Adventureland. Whether the ship, the facade of Indiana Jones, Pizza Outpost, the bridges, the Adventureland Bazaar. It does sometimes really hurt to see this state:

I hope you liked it :-)

See ya :-)

Great trip report, thank you for sharing all of your pictures :)

I'm really shocked that after the length of time Mad Hatter's Tea Cups was down for a refurb, they didn't touch the tea cups themselves? They're still filthy, as are the lanterns. Very disappointing.

The park was very crowded this weekend. I hope they opened the cups because of so many guests and continued the refurb afterwards!

thats a good point. Hope you're right. the ship looks so sad :( . I like the signs outside the restaurants. Your photos are great, beautiful flowers and some great shots of the show. They're making me want August to come round quicker :)

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photographs!  :D  :D  :D although I agree it's sad to see how much work really needs to be done in the park.

Maybe we all should deliver the "refub needed" photos at the City Hall for "evidence"  :thumbs:
It's just such a pity they let it come to this point...

Great photos magicstar, sharp and crispy, thanks for sharing your trip with us :)

Thanks for the photos!!
Did you enjoy the Radisson Blu? How easy was it to get to/from the parks? What was breakfast like?
We are staying there in August xx

Great photos, especially the show ones. What camera do you have?

Radisson was great. By far the best off site hotel I stayed.
The bus runs every 15 minutes from the hotel to the park
and every 30 minutes from the park to the hotel.
Everything worked without any problems ;-)
Breakfast was fantastic. They even had pancakes :-)

I took the pics with  a Olympus E 500

I just remember an interesting thing:
We participated at a survey at Disneyland Park. And that was only about restaurant chains, that are NOT at DLP at the moment. I asked the CM, why they do the survey, and the woman said,
that it is not sure, which restaurant comes into Hurricanes. And whith this survey the try to do a better decision!

kGreat pics and thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to going back in Nov with my boys. They are going to love seeing The Incredibles on stage!

Interesting about the survey, was there multiple choices set out for you to choose or did they just ask you your favourite food chain that you would like to see come to DLP?

Post by: MagicStar on May 13, 2010, 12:02:25 AM
They first asked, which food chains we know.
What we like there and why we like the food there.
Then what we don´t like!
Then they showed us a mass of food chains (so many I didn´t know)
and they asked, which one I think would fit into DLP and why.

Great TR with some beautiful photos - I especially love the one of Princess Tiana in front of the Castle!
The Radisson Blu also sounds and looks wonderful, maybe we will try staying there one day.
Thanks for sharing :D
