Original Post
(Some details in these early posts are guesses or rumours that should not be read as confirmed events for the 15th, confirmed events are shown above.)
A little early, yes, but I've just noticed what would appear to be the first official confirmation of this year-long celebration - the DLRP press site states that a "15th Anniversary logo" will be available soon!
A short while ago some rumours on other forums were suggesting the 15th would be perhaps the biggest celebration yet for the resort, with a new parade, new show (on Royal Castle Stage), Toon Studios in WDS and (just maybe) an early opening of Tower of Terror in WDS.
The fact that they're getting ready to release the logo now, so far in advance, suggests that they're going for one hell of a marketing push with this one.
Go on DLRP, you can do it! :D :wink:
How Exciting! Hopefully by 2007 I will be a fulltime castmember and will be there for the celebrations and new parade! Which im very excited about... Dancin' A Catchy Rhythm is kinda getting monotonous! lol still a great parade song though.
Do you think the castle could/should be refurbished for the 15th anniversary? I read a rumour somewhere a while ago that it would be done in the next few years, and unless they do it this year then they won't be able to do it until 2008, because they won't want it being refurbed during the anniversary year.
I think this photo from dlrp.fr made me realise even more just how badly the castle needs it:

I might be going back for the big bithday bash!
I'd heard that the Castle, Big Thunder Mountain and the Disneyland Hotel would get their rehab in 2006, to be finished right in time for the 15th anniversary. :?:
Quote from: "raptor1982"I'd heard that the Castle, Big Thunder Mountain and the Disneyland Hotel would get their rehab in 2006, to be finished right in time for the 15th anniversary. :?:
I think that's what I heard too. Since the Disneyland Hotel has just had its refurbishment restarted after the Christmas break and that Big Thunder Mountain is scheduled to be closed from 4th September to 3rd November... a castle rehab could definately happen this year! :D
God I really hope there is a castle rehab, it is diar needs for one, I mean look how faded that once regal fairytale pink is now, though it's impressive finally Disneyland Hotel is getting its rehab again, about time too, let's hope that Big Thunder Mountain does get one too it needs it, there's only a certain amount of moss a man made mountain can take to be realistic :lol: .
Oh my god! It's the official 15th Anniversary logo!

Errr... or not. :lol:
Apparently the park's name will be changed to "The Magic Kingdom - Paris", and so for the occasion they turned the Disneyland Park logo purple instead of pink and squashed it a bit... Yeah, ok... :lol:

Wow dodgy work, does the idiot expect us to believe that's it, well with Disneyland Resort paris's track record I wouldnt be surprised, so how erm no that don't look professional enough and magic Kingdon what's that all about :lol: .
Hey there!
Well I must confess... I'm coming from the mousekingdom forum and I believed it :lol: Maybe I should mention that I'm pretty naive and I believe things very quickly, especially when they have something to do with Disneyland and rumors about it ;)
But I think they haven't treated me very nicely there and while I read your comments in this forum, I'd say that the atmosphere here is more familiar and warmer, too--I hope so :)
And, not to forget: You guys seem to know more about DLRP than the folks of the mousekingdom forum :roll:
Nala
Well your in a much better place now.
Hope you've added this place to your favourites it is the best DLRP forum.

Hey Nala, welcome!
You mentioned exact the same reason why I registered here too. Although no one over at the DLP.info Board has treated me with disrespected, I overall thought that the atmosphere on that board wasn't was it used to be. I'm not the person who thinks that everyting Disney is great (I'm just to realistic for that), but at some points I felt that almost every topic overthere was negative. I should point out that not everything has to be positive on a forum, otherwise it would get boring, but it just wasn't the kind of atmosphere I am looking for at a forum. :)
Not the bash the DLP.info Board at all, and I apologise to the people who feel that way, but I like to talk about Disney together with some other fans on a positive note. And I am glad that I found that here at the Photosmagiques Forum.
Welcome Narla, can definately say it is nicer and happier here on this forum, also yeah I understand about DLP.info I had that half the time so I just refuse to post on their anymore, but enough of negativaty, welcome to the boards :) .
Hey Narla
Welcome on these cool forums!
I prefer this forum and Kris's (http://www.forums.chrismeda.co.uk (http://www.forums.chrismeda.co.uk)) one to dlrp.info too. Its so negative and hard to navagate through it. Still there's some good info on the main site!
Quote from: "Nala_84"You guys seem to know more about DLRP than the folks of the mousekingdom forum :roll:
That might not be such a good thing... :lol:
I think it's definately more "reasonable" here, if that makes sense. No jumping to wild conclusions or hating DLRP just for the sake of it. You will definately still hear negative opinions, but they're much more justified (like the placing of those Little Green Men cardboard cut outs above the Buzz entrance!).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here, as we go through a big year for DLRP as they build up to the 15th Anniversary. *tries desperately to say something on-topic* :lol:
Hehe, thanx a lot to all of you :)
Yeah, I think it'll be MUCH more comfortable in this board ;) And I think you're right, the others maybe are a bit too negative, and I also think the forum's too hard to handle there. This here is so pretty blue *g*
So I'm glad that you all are so friendly and nice and I don't matter when anyone says anything negative--I guess nobody's perfect and so isn't the DLRP, but let's emphasize the many good things of it :)
This "Once Upon A Dream"-Parade sounds so great!! I'm really looking forward to it and especially to the Toon Studios :) *alsotryingtostayontopic*
Have they advertised anything or any more details come through reacently?
No, nothing yet. I'd bet on a mid-July launch for the press releases and perhaps a logo or something. Like I think I said before, that's when they released Laser Blast stuff last year, so it'd make sense for them to follow the same calendar again.
I can't wait to see what they'll do with the 15th Anniversary. It could so easily be amazing yet it could so easily be a disappointment! We'll have Toon Studios and Tower of Terror of course, but it remains to be seen if they can package it all up as well as the US resorts did with their 50th Anniversary additions. :?
Any guesses or hopes for what the logo might be like? My first (and very unoriginal) guess would be for it to be like the normal earful tower and castle graphic, but with a big 15... :)
Tokyo DisneySea's 5th Anniversary logo is really nice:

Image from http://www.jtcent.com/disneysea/special/spx5th/ (http://www.jtcent.com/disneysea/special/spx5th/)
Looks great!
I hope Dlrp's going to be bigger and better!
Well, here it is! The "official" logo at last:
(//http://www.discussions.thedisneyfamily.com/pictures/15thlogo.jpg)
By the looks of it, the actual DLRP logo will also change. Not sure if I like the new fonts at the bottom, but they are ok I guess. Emphasises the "Paris" aspect :lol:
Sorry, this logo looks simply awful if you ask me. Even the font of "resort paris" is ugly. A shame really. Kris, you should burn this thing down and praise the Wishes artwork insteed. Get it straight man! :lol: :D
Fresh, nice colours! Good work DLRP!
I kinda like it! My olny comment, and im really sorry to sound negative, hate to, but it seems to be linked to the new advertising. Yes thats good, but im just frustrated that the new advertising is aimed at little kids with the pirates and princess theme.
Just wish they would go for a more classic look, rather than heavy with the infants!
A study bureau investigated that this is what appeals most to the main visitors: families with young children.
i really like it! it is up to date with the other theme parks
I'm against all you hate it opinions since I really really like it :P , it's modern, it's got tinkerbell, the castle is actually of the one in Paris :wink: and the fonts and colours fit it perfectly, not everything has to be medieval themed to be able to advertise Disneyland Resort Paris :D . Plus the big 15 helps also like the line where dreams come true it works well. So definately one of their best pieces of artwork if you ask me :) .
I think it looks really sweet.
Thanks for posting it!
Do I dare to say it... it looks professionally done (for at once) :wink:

Shame about the dodgy "resort paris" part though... :?
Quote from: "Baloo"Shame about the dodgy "resort paris" part though... :?
It's interesting to see how the "Resort"-part was so prominently featured in all the materials when it was first introduced back in 2002 - and now it looks like nothing more but an afterthought...
Quote from: "experiment627"It's interesting to see how the "Resort"-part was so prominently featured in all the materials when it was first introduced back in 2002 - and now it looks like nothing more but an afterthought...
*Sigh* I know... I love the 2002 resort logo, it's the best of all the Disney resorts. Not perfect, but far better than the others.
They made the "resort" part smaller for the Beleive In Your Dreams stuff, and now they're taking it further. It's not good.
This logo looks a bit like a fan project to be honest, albeit a rather good one. I actually thought someone was just posting an idea or something when I first glanced at it... :lol:
Little Blue Bird told me that they were thinking about dropping it and just call it Disneyland, without resort & paris. I posted before that staff is now allowed to say Disneyland Paris in interviews and refer to it in articles when the logo or Disneyland Resort Paris is mentioned once.
Adding "Resort" to the name made sens - on paper.
In reality, the term "resort" never clicked with European consumers. I think it would be an interesting topic to invistigate further as to why Europeans don't embrace a "resort" (yet).
I'd be glad if they just returned to "Disneyland Paris" and be done with it.
Quote from: "experiment627"In reality, the term "resort" never clicked with European consumers. I think it would be an interesting topic to invistigate further as to why Europeans don't embrace a "resort" (yet).
I think they do understand "resort" as a concept. The only problem is that people can never be bothered saying "Disneyland Resort Paris", the same way everyone says "Disney World" instead of "Walt Disney World Resort in Florida".
The way they have "resort" in normal weight font and then "paris" in bold in this logo looks really messy, and the lower case letters don't help. :(
Quote from: "Baloo"I think they do understand "resort" as a concept.
Keep in mind that while "resort" might be a more or less common term in English, it is rather new to other languages... therefore not as understandable as Disney might have hoped.
Awww, that looks awesome! Is this really official now? Beautiful colours...
There will surely come out pins and stuff with the logo, won't it? It would be so cool to get a free gift in the 15th celebrations-year, but I guess that'll be "Utopia" ;)
The logo looks great. Allright the castle looks a bit hard, but it really must appeal to children and families because it looks very simple but great. Nice colours indeed.
I think the name should remain as Disneyland Resort Paris or just as Disneyland Paris. Only Disneyland isn't that good, because Disneyland in California has already only the name Disneyland right ? So wouldn't it be a bit confusing to have to resorts with the only the name Disneyland ?!
QuoteIs this really official now?
Yes, this is the real thing! Although you can expect some variations in the coming months.
Quote from: "experiment627"Keep in mind that while "resort" might be a more or less common term in English, it is rather new to other languages... therefore not as understandable as Disney might have hoped.
I guess you're right - I've noticed quite a bit of discussion about this on some French forums at the moment. I still think people do get the concept of a resort destination like DLRP, but it's true that the word "resort" itself doesn't translate well into French and other languages. They should improve their marketing communication a bit... explain in their brochure the meaning behind "un resort", everything in one place, etc... I don't think changing the name again is the answer, and to be honest I personally don't believe they ever will.
Going back to the logo - it's really obvious now that this was designed by the same people who did the 50th logos and the newer "year of a million dreams" ones, it's very similar. I don't like the pink of the castle in the logo, or how square it looks, and when you make it smaller the "resort" actually almost disappears making it look even more messy. But it'll do. :)
I wonder... will we get a 15th Anniversary song? :lol:
Quote from: "Baloo"I don't think changing the name again is the answer, and to be honest I personally don't believe they ever will.
My guess is that you will see "Disneyland Paris" being used more and more in advertising the place... (raptor, didn't you post a while back that they are now officially allowed to use this name again?) ... While I could imagine that the "resort" will pop up more in travel brochures and press releases...
Official Press Release!!

It's The Year to Live Your Dream!
Go ahead: live a little, dream a lot. From April 2007-March 2008, we're celebrating our 15th birthday with our biggest party ever, and you're invited! It's also the BEST time to live your Disney dream. Oh, and did we mention the cherry on the cake? Nonstop Disney birthday treats! So get ready to make a wish, and unwrap your dreams – this is the year to be here.
It starts the moment you step onto Main Street, U.S.A.®. Before you know it, your toes are tapping to the spectacular new Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade. But they're not the only ones tapping. You might just get a tap on the shoulder from the hand (or paw) of a famous Disney Character. Mickey, Minnie, Baloo, or Cinderella! They're all here to re-live with you the most beloved Disney stories like never before. Be our guest: Dance. Sing. Do everything you've dreamed – in new Character locations created for this very special year.
After this kind of exhilaration, the last thing you expect is for your mouth to drop open in awe as you check out what's next on your party plan. But as you gaze onto this birthday landscape of fun, that's exactly what happens. Crush's Coaster*, your first stop, is the all-new family coaster designed to whoosh and swish you into the world of Nemo and Squirt. It's like... wow, dude – especially the close calls with Bruce's hungry jaws. Yikes! And those twists and turns of the Eastern Australian Current. Whoah!
Hey, but that's just a warm-up for your next stop...which, by the way, is all GO! Start your engines, dreamsters. The new Cars: Race Rally** puts your family behind the wheel of a convertible, and into the sleepy town of Radiator Springs. Go on: put a little "four on the floor", and raise some fairy dust!
So let's get this Disney party started! After all, a celebration like this only comes once every 15 years. Make it The Year to Live Your Dream.
* Inspired by Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo.
Attraction opens June 2007.

So....
- No mention of Tower of Terror!
- "Cars: Race Rally" seems to be the confirmed name.
- "Crush's Coaster"?? They've got to be joking...
- "Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade" isn't just a dream.
- It'll run from April 2007 to March 2008, confirmed.
I'm think they've left Tower of Terror and perhaps the new WDS parade out of this because if they announce it all now, then they won't have anything new to announce this time next year. They need to keep the ball rolling throughout the year with more new announcements all the time. So ToT fans... don't worry!
I do think "Crush's Turtle Twister" fans should be worried though... the new "Crush's Coaster" name is awful in my opinion... "Turtle Twister" seemed so definite! :(
And press releases for Crush and Cars:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Feel the rush with Nemo and Crush.
Hang loose with Nemo and Squirt on the new rip-roaring ride, Crush's Coaster – opening June 2007. Totally inspired by Disney's presentation of Pixar's Finding Nemo, this is one of two new major attractions opening in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Disneyland Resort® Paris.
Get ready to plunge into the underwater world of Nemo and Squirt. A world full of adventure, fun and hidden "dangers"... oh yes, and a few thousand fish.
Here, you'll "sea" life a little differently as you twist and turn over colourful coral reefs with Squirt, Nemo and friends. But don't close your eyes... or you'll miss the fun as you dive straight down into the inky darkness of the deep to explore a sunken submarine nestling in an underwater minefield. Watch out - you'll have to keep your eyes peeled to avoid coming face-to-face with Bruce, the vegetarian shark and his snapping mates. But what's there to worry about? Just remember fish are friends, not food. But hang on, you're not fish, are you?
Then, if you thought escaping the sharks was a white-knuckle ride, prepare yourself for the rush: spinning and twisting with along the powerful Eastern Australian Current, where even the coolest dudes have to screeeeeeeeam! So hang ten (and hang on) for the ride of your life!

You've seen the movie, now take it for a spin.
Hit the road with Lightning McQueen and friends on the new piston-pumping ride Cars: Race Rally – opening June 2007. Inspired by Disney's presentation of Pixar's Cars, this is just one of two brilliant new attractions opening in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Disneyland Resort® Paris.
Welcome to Radiator Springs, a sleepy, one-horse-power town that's about to be woken up. So fuel-up for fun and get in gear to join this engine-roaring rally on the dusty desert track of Route 66 - you just know it's going to be a gas!
Rest assured though there's no need for pre-race nerves, as Lightning McQueen will be there to give you all the best driving tips. With more trophies and sponsors than you can shake a loose exhaust pipe at, this road champ will get you and your family revving into action in no time. So will Mater, a good ol' trusty tow-truck with a big heart and the quickest tow cable in Carburetor County. Buckle-up!
And, once you've discovered the hotshot-racing driver in you, it'll be time to take that pole-position and put everything you've learnt into practice. So take a mighty fine grip of the wheel and get ready for a spin to take the chequered flag. There's vrrrrrrooom for everyone.
Quote from: "Baloo"I'm think they've left Tower of Terror and perhaps the new WDS parade out of this because if they announce it all now, then they won't have anything new to announce this time next year.
1.) If they announced the opening of the biggest E-Ticket ride since "Space Mountain" for November 2007, there might be trouble getting people interested in visiting the resort earlier that year...
2.) By not stating an opening date for the ride, they still have lots of "wiggle"-room, in case construction should be delayed for whatever reason. (Just look at what happend at poor De Efteling...)
Yep, absolutely. It's amazing to think that these three massive new things (in DLRP terms, anyway) are only the tip of the iceberg, and it's nice to see DLRP be cunning in a good way and try to keep some secret surprises for later in the celebration. I like your idea of "wiggle room" too, that's very true. :wink:
It's obvious to us ToT will be included anyway, whenever it opens, because of course it's not going to open later than March 2008. As for the rumoured new WDS parade... it could be a good addition for March 2008, to end the festival and as a final 5th/6th birthday present to the studios. OR they could hold that back until later in 2008, because with adding so much new stuff during the 15th, they might have a bit of a drought after the festival ends...

lol yes, they even had posters and adverts all over the place here :lol:
Quote from: "raptor1982"So do you think we can expect a "catchy" soundtrack?
Oh yes, they know how popular Dancin' (A Catchy Rhythm) is. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the song for part of the festival actually - not for the new parade soundtrack, but just "around and about" the park in various events. It's meant to be a celebration of the past 15 years, after all. :)
Quote from: "raptor1982"Even more characters locations?? Where do you think they'll put 'm?
They could be referring to the ones in Toon Studios (Incredibles, Mickey, Cars, etc), infact that's probably quite a likely option. Other than that, perhaps a Princess meet 'n' greet at the Royal Castle Stage? Or those rumoured Pocahontas or Brother Bear ones in Frontierland? Maybe another Pirates of the Caribbean meet 'n' greet in Adventureland? Or one with Captain Hook on his ship? There's soooo many possibilities, which is actually rather worrying - the parks are truly going to be overflowing with them soon.

One locotion on top of the other.
("You see that big tower there in the other park, dear? You see, there's one Disney princess on each floor... and Pooh in the basement." :wink: )
First of all: Nice to finally read somethin official :) Except the fact that the Toon Studios-attractions won't open in May :cry: There is no official certain date named for the opening, is it?
QuoteNonstop Disney birthday treats!
Could that mean that the visitots will get little gifts, or are the new attractions and specials these "treats"? ;)
Quotein new Character locations created for this very special year.
I'd guess they'll prepare little locations in the whole park, just for the party?! Maybe only a few fitting backgrounds to each Character?
QuoteCrush's Coaster
What have they done with the name? I got so accostumed to Chrush's Turtle Twister which, I guess, explains a bit more of the ride that only "coaster"... :?
QuoteCars: Race Rally
Sounds good. Have they already started to create this attraction?
There isn't an official date set for Toon Studios, no, but it's definitely going to be June now, sorry! Also, they haven't started on the Cars attraction yet. It's a fairly simple ride, so it won't take long at all. The "Nonstop Disney birthday treats!" is probably just marketing talk, I wouldn't read into it too much. :wink:
Well well... the logo and creative text have magically disappeared from Extraordinet...
The text is gone (for the 15th, not for the attractions), but the logo is still there! :?
Edit: never mind. :lol:
Extraordinet is so confusing.

Lol, they're definitely not giving any exact details away just yet, are they!
Here's the new key visual from extraordinet:
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/outsidepics/15th_keyvisual.jpg)
I doubt it's final...
still it looks quite nice
I think it looks like a fan did it. The "15" looks pretty dodgy and the characters are so small that unless you show the key visual in full-size they just disappear and you can't see them properly.
I don't know what the key visual is meant to represent, either - they're not decorating the castle, are they? All it shows is random characters adding some sparkle to the castle... I think it's a bit dull and looks very unprofessional compared to the recent new Wishes and Halloween key visuals. :(
If the 15th is as big as I think it'll be, though, this should be the first of many marketing visuals, so we don't need to worry just yet...
i have to say i aggree, it doesnt look very professional, but as long as they dont turn the castle into a pile of presents again i'll be happy:)
I know it wasnt very popular, but im trying to remeber what the castle looked like when it was decorated. Does anyone have a pic, or link to a picture?
Can anyone confirm that the castle will actually be decorated how it looks in that picture, or is it just for decorative purposes to make an interesting key visual? I'm confused...
They've just added a nighttime version of the same key visual:
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/images/20060705-15th-key-visual2.jpg)
What do you think? Does anyone know if this character makeover is definitely confirmed now?
Any opinions on that key visual above? No? :) Well here are some more presents for you ungrateful lot!! And these are pretty jaw-droppingly incredible:
Visuals removed on request by Disneyland Resort Paris
Phew, you wouldn't believe how long that took! Again, sorry about the copyrights, but we have to respect these are copyright Disney and probably shouldn't even be posted.
What do you think? :) I like how in each one the characters are in a different place, with the logo in a different place and the castle at different angles. They've obviously spent a *lot* of time and money on this! I think these will be popping up later this year and in early 2007 as brochure covers for travel agents.
Which is everyone's favourite visual?
I guess I have to live up to your expections, so I'll choose Aladdin... :lol:
I'm going to defy expectations and not choose Baloo... I think the Aladdin and Dumbo ones are the best - I love the angle they've used for the castle, and the night-time Dumbo one looks *so* magical.
I've also got some more information about what the point of these decorations might be... well, by "information" I mean "one sentence". :wink:
They promise "A celebratory atmosphere, with castle & park specially decorated for the 15th anniversary year", and say you'll be able to "Enjoy the beauty of a captivating one-of-a-kind anniversary ceremony every night at Sleeping Beauty's Castle".
Now, I'm thinking... an "anniversary ceremony", and the characters are holding candles. Could they be blowing the candles out? It'd be like the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony in reverse... :lol:
I was thinking the same, probably one by one, together with some quotes or a song by the character.
My favorite one is Pinochio by the way.
Woooow!! What's that?? ;)
Why did they release so many castle pics? I mean, it's great, but what are they for? *g*
Will there be postcards with these picture motives?
And what about this ceremony with candles? Haven't understood what that could mean :oops:
QuoteWhy did they release so many castle pics? I mean, it's great, but what are they for? *g*

Those are for use in travel brochures etc.
I heard the ceremony will light the candles, not blow them out. But that was a few months ago.
Thanks Baloo!
Those are fantastic, particularly the Aladdin one.
As fo rthe Chastle decorations themselves, any idea yet as to what they will be like? I mean, will they be actual representations of the characters, in colour, or more like the Disneyland 50th, when they were all in gold?
Quote from: "Nala_84"Why did they release so many castle pics? I mean, it's great, but what are they for? *g*
Raptor said it already, but as I said in my post above, I think these will be popping up later this year and in early 2007 as brochure covers for travel agents. They just produce a lot of them because it makes it easier for travel companies to use them in their brochures (more options), and the easier it is = the better advertising they get!
Quote from: "penfold12"As fo rthe Chastle decorations themselves, any idea yet as to what they will be like? I mean, will they be actual representations of the characters, in colour, or more like the Disneyland 50th, when they were all in gold?
I've been wondering about this as well. I think they will be fully coloured, as you see them in these visuals. Since a 50th is a "golden" anniversary, it might not make much sense having golden characters yet, even if they'd fit in a bit better.
This topic's very quiet these days. :) I think DLRP are being a bit more careful what they release now (i'm not saying anything...). If I remember correctly, there will be a full press release about the anniversary in November, so we should hopefully get more news - and maybe even some more concept art - then. :wink:
Until then though, there's still lots to discuss:
- the castle decorations
- the nighttime candles ceremony
- the new character locations
- advertising, marketing
- the anniversary itself
- will it save the resort?
etc.
:wink:
What do you mean with "will it save the resort"? :( Does that mean that this anniversary could be the last one?? Does it stand so bad with DLRP? I hope not, and I suggest they should take lower prices, and maybe more people would come ;)
Well, I'm the most curious about the nighttime candles ceremony, the parade and the castle decorations :)! Will the ceremony be there every night next year? I hope so!
The new character locations make me curious, too. I hope there'll be the ones I've always wanted to meet :)
Quote from: "Nala_84"What do you mean with "will it save the resort"? :( Does that mean that this anniversary could be the last one?? Does it stand so bad with DLRP?
Well there seems to be the general concensus with both the resort itself and fans and partners that 2007 will be make or break. Three attractions, a new parade, huge new marketing pushes - everyone is asking themselves: If 2007 doesn't work, what will?
I always think we have to remember, though, that DLRP accounts for more than 12,000 jobs and closing the resort would lead to a serious decline for the whole Marne-la-Vallée region. Someone, somewhere, would step in to save the day. I honestly believe Disneyland will always be alive in Paris.
What 2007 will determine most of all for us fans is whether we get any extra new attractions in 2009 and beyond (those rumours of Soarin, etc.). If the anniversary doesn't work, I guess the resort will need to produce some kind of rescue plan, and as we've seen in the past this usually means no new attractions for some time.
Personally, I'm optimistic. We should get a preview of whether new attractions will work in October/November with this year's Annual Report (Laser Blast), and that will probably prepare us for good or bad news. The problems of DLRP won't go away in a year, but if 2007 is a success then it'll take the resort one giant leap nearer to success.
I've been thinking about the nighttime candles ceremony after reading some french forums - how are they actually going to do a "nighttime" ceremony (in the style of the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony) all year-round? If the park closes at 8pm, then it won't be dark enough during most months.
The daily anniversary ceremony is confirmed, and I think most people's first guess is that it'll involve the candles of the character decorations, right? So it'll be interesting to see how they change the pattern of the sun to coincide... :wink:
Unless the candles actually won't have much importance afterall, and so it won't matter if it's still daylight. (They could focus on characters on a central plaza stage perhaps?) I suppose another possibility is that the ceremony will take place on Royal Castle Stage, and will be more of a full "show" with the castle just as a backdrop... *spreads dodgy false rumours* :lol:
I believe that 2007 will be a good year for DLRP, a anniversary year is usually good for extra visitors.Advertising plays a major role of course ,pictures of the castle with the planned decorations can only work as a advantage in my opinion.
New attractions can also work as a magnet ,this in combination with new events shouldn't give us too much to worry about.There will still be some problems and the usual complaints but good planning is half of the job done.

I wasn't a "DLRP fan" back in 1997, but from what I've heard since becoming a fan that celebration had a very good effect on the park... and they didn't even get any new attractions!
It's weird I bumped this topic today because of a lack of news - I just found a new logo sitting there on Extraordinet:
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/09/images/03-15th-logo-v2.jpg)
(sorry for all the text, but you know how it is..)
I really like it! :D I wondered when they'd do a more simple logo like this - the old one is a bit bulky on most documents and things.
I like that new logo too, simplicity can be very effective. And I hope, that 2007 isn't the end, but with a big push they can do it, and surely they wouldn't be putting all this extra money into new attractions/parade etc if they knew they weren't going to get any of it back. So the big wigs are either taking a HUGE risk, or have something up their sleeves to rescue this wonderful place.
When a celebration year is good without any new attractions it can only be better with a few new and a lot of refurbished attractions in my opinion. :)
An article from November 1997, about that year's annual results:
Quote from: "BBC News"Disneyland Paris profits soar
(//http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/images/_30996_disney4.jpg)
Minnie's all smiles - she has seen the balance sheet
Profits at Euro Disney are proving something of a fairytale: the company's net profit for the year rose to 217 million French Francs from 202 million - beating predictions.
The improvement was largely due to higher theme park and hotel sales and better cost control, the company said.
For the year to September, sales at the Hotel and Disney Village operations increased by 13.1% to 2.167 billion FF, mainly attributable to a 5.8% increase in hotel bookings and a large increase in sales at Disney Village.
Visitors to the Disneyland Paris theme park rose from 11.7 million last year to 12.6 million. Sales in the theme park were also up to 5.477 billion FF, from 4.968 billion.
Euro Disney SCA managing director Gilles Pelisson said plans for development, including housing, office space and a shopping centre at the site east of Paris were the key to the company's future.
The project on the 300-hectare site adjoining the Disneyland and Disney Village developments will create "direct value" in the form of lease and other cash income, he said.
Mr Pelisson did not quantify likely cash income, but said the site was likely to attract some 4 billion FF of private and public investment.
He said the company's policy on pricing would continue to be "extremely cautious", but that there would be a "very slight" increase in prices in the year to Sept 1998. Efforts would also be made to reduce the length of queues at the fast-food stalls in the park, with a view to boosting spending per visitor.
At 1:25pm on Thursday, Euro Disney shares were trading up 0.05 FF at 7.45, off a high of 7.70 in a slightly weaker market just after the company's net profit was announced.
I guess the anniversary year was indeed very good for them! :o
Here's a calendar from the DRPPartners official site, showing upcoming seasons and events:
(//http://www.drppartners.com/gb/calendrier/img/calendrier.gif)
Strangely, it shows the Anniversary as beginning in mid-February whilst Disney's Once Upon a Dream parade begins just after April (when it's rumoured to be starting March 31st).
So will DLRP be trying to fill the gaps left by Kids Carnival and Easter with a pre-opening of the Anniversary? I don't think it'd be that exciting though - all you'd get is castle decorations and a few extra characters, until the "real" celebration kicks in April 1st... :?
Edit: And there's no Tarzan listed! :shock:
Yeah that worries me the whole no Tarzan, hope it does return, it has no Lilo and Stitch or anything. Also where is Halloween and Christmas? Seems rather strange they do not get mentioned for 2007 :? . I just hope that they do definately make the 15th something really worth going to see and not just a parade and some extra characters.

No Halloween and Christmas: ohhhh yeah! :shock: :(
I suppose we've just got to hope they'll be "absorbed" into the 15th. I can't ever see them not doing Halloween or Christmas now, they're far too popular. People return year after year to those events and so stopping them for the 15th would be a disaster.
This calendar has never been that accurate, so I suppose we have to hope they've just missed some of the "smaller" things off to push the 15th as the big event. Walt Disney Studios without Lilo & Stitch, Good Morning WDS and Cruella would be a disaster too...
Whatever happens though, DOUADP (doesn't look as good as WWODP, does it?), Crush and Cars should make the 15th very worthwhile. Oh, and ToT. :wink:
Don't worry guys! Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Good Morning, Halloween and Christmas are still planned for next year!! 8)
Quote from: "raptor1982"Don't worry guys! Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Good Morning, Halloween and Christmas are still planned for next year!! 8)
Then 2007 shall be f'ing AWESOME!! :D/ :D/
Certainly it will be awesome.
And Paris is doing everything to make it the biggest anniversary ever.
(it should bring more than 13 million guests to DLRP)
I so hope this all pulls off, it could make Disney accessible to way more people and really boost the popularity. I really wishing it good luck!
sounds great, and i'll be there making up the guest numbers :D
The TO Covers visuals disappeared from Extraordinet a few weeks ago, and since then I was starting to get worried the plans had been cancelled. Luckily, though, the visuals have returned today, albeit in new, updated form.
The biggest change is the replacement of Winnie on the 3rd spire with a new Pinocchio and Figaro design.
Old Version (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/images/12-15thchange-03.jpg) | New Version (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/images/12-15thchange-04.jpg)
And you'll also notice that instead of plain wax candles, the characters are now holding candles with a spiral fringe in very classy gold spiked holders. Rather elegant, eh?
They also released some different characters this time - there's now ones with Donald, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto in the spotlight.
Donald Version (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/images/12-15thchange-05.jpg) | Pluto Version (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/images/12-15thchange-06.jpg)
It's good to see the designs becoming more finalised... I guess they'll have to start actually making the figurines soon? :)
Btw - if anyone wants to post those on another forum, please post a link and not the visual, it uses up lots of bandwidth since I saved them a bigger size this time. Thanks :wink:
To me it looks kinda "retro" - quite bland compared to what they are capable of
So, any news yet on if th echaracters will be in colour, or "bronzed" as they were in WDW?
Since they're in colour on all these visuals, I'm fairly confident they'll be the same in reality.
I don't think gold or bronze characters would suit a 15th anniversary. They seem to be going for a bright and colourful yet classic Disney theme with the anniversary, rather than the grander and more majestic 50th. Which makes sense, really. I think the more modern feel also suits well with the two new Pixar WDS attractions and the kinda un-Disney ToT being a key part of the year.
Dont forget Stitch, or is that not yet officialy confirmed?
Still unconfirmed... If it is true (and we haven't heard a single negative yet), then they might do the same as they're doing for ToT and not mention it until the first wave of attractions have opened, so that the flow of guests is spread right throughout the year. If things go the way we hope, they'll have the start of the celebration in April, Toon Studio in June, Stitch in November and then Tower in 2008 - that way the year will continue to be strong all the way through.
You might laugh at me for being a loser here, but a Disney Anniversary year is like a tent. And like any tent, you can't just prop it up at one end with a new parade - you need to hold it up at both ends (Tower). And then, if it's sagging in the middle... get another few poles (Toon Studio and later Stitch).
*hides*
Not such a bad analogy. They use it in the movies! A tent peg movie is a summer blockbuster, the income supports the rest of the years more "artist" releases!
i cant wait to see the castle for real, got some brochours the other day from hypermarket, the front coves both have the 15th anniversary castle on. :D

Oh cool! Which companies are these brochures for? :)
Well I know Leger have it on the front of their new one, which my mum just threw in the bin :lol: .
yeah leger and thomson
The French official 15th Anniversary brochure for groups is now available!!
http://disneylandparis.com/fr/collectiv ... chures.htm (http://disneylandparis.com/fr/collectivite/brochures.htm)
(scroll down a bit and click for the very posh pop-up ebrochure)
It's so pretty I might cry... :lol: DLRP have turned themselves around sooo much these last few years. Whilst it's only short, it definitely gives us a look at what to expect with the final Official Holiday Guide brochure. :D
Edit: It also mentions the evening ceremony each day!
À la fi n de la journée, retrouvez Mickey et ses amis près du Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant afin d'assister à un superbe spectacle musical en l'honneur de ce 15e anniversaire.
At the end of each day, join Mickey and his friends by Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant for a superb musical spectacle in honor of the 15th Anniversary.
Yay!
No one care about the brochure? Ok then, more 15th news...
Some nice person put the french travel industry trailer online! It's used in the same way that old "Where?" trailer was, to get travel agents into the "feel" of what they're selling. So that means this is definitely not a commercial that will make it to TV, DVD, etc. Anyway, here it is:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiwg3_disney-15-th (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiwg3_disney-15-th)
I think it's good but not great, they ruined it a bit for some reason. Cuts too quickly between things and the music has been messed with. :?
I liked the logo at the end of it, very nice :)
It's still so funny that they're using music from Universal's Peter Pan movie (the Disney Parks & resorts uses the same music as well...) :lol:
Quote from: "raptor1982"It's still so funny that they're using music from Universal's Peter Pan movie (the Disney Parks & resorts uses the same music as well...)
I don't think this music is from Peter Pan... :? I can't find it on the iTunes previews, anyway... :lol:
Oh wait lol. I got the cd from our local library, will check it out. :lol:
I'm quite sure it's not, the music is far too good. :D
Very badly edited in places, though! I like the advert a bit more after watching it again, but it's still not as "powerful" the way they've edited it for the french version.
I agree Baloo, but did you notice it must be one of the first things that we have seen that actively attached the Tower of Terror with the 15th celebrations!!! Maybe it will open for Halloween 2007 ???
Yeah, I definitely did notice that!! :D I suppose that's another thing to prove that this won't ever have a widespread release - DLRP won't officially announce the ToT as part of the anniversary until well into 2007...
One thing added in this trailer, though - look at the bottom when ToT is on screen: it says "Ouverture début 2008" / Opening early 2008! Do they mean 2008 as the year, or 2008 as their season/Financial year? Who knows... :?
Quote from: "DLRP.fr"Au Parc Disneyland, dès le début du mois d'avril, les visiteurs pourront croiser le nouveau Petit train des personnages Disney. Un train rempli de personnages qui circulera plusieurs fois par jour depuis le début de Main Street jusque Central Plaza pour y déposer les personnages, qui iront alors à la rencontre des visiteurs.
Chaque journée se clôturera également en compagnie de personnages lors de la fête d'anniversaire Bougillumination au pied du Château où Mickey et ses amis se livreront à un joyeux final en danses et en chansons, avant d'assister à l'illumination des bougies sur le Château.
Basically, the characters will arrive on a special "train" in Main Street each morning during the celebration, whilst the candles ceremony is now going by the name of "Bougillumination" in French, which sorta translates as "Candllumination"... if you get me... :?
I wonder how special this train will be...
(Thinks Dumbo float)...
(Thinks Main Street Streetcar) :?
(Thinks Disney Village Minnie Train) :evil:
(Agrees about Dumbo float) :wink:
I wonder if they'll arrive to a familiar tune? :lol:

Does anybody know when the brochure will apear in other languages.....I mean I can understand English but I can't order it because they don't send it to Germany.....
That depends on each country office.
Quote from: "raptor1982"That depends on each country office.
well thanks. But hopefully it doesn't take too long because I can't wait to see it. I guess the celebration will be fantastic, I have been to Disneyland as it celebrated its 5th birthday and it was so cool...especially the castle...Although it's a little hard to remember....
They've changed the designs of the 3 Annual Passports, to use the resort's new "Believe in your dreams" font and... the 15th Anniversary logo. :D

Our Dream passes are renewed in July 2007 so it'll be all good
(btw do all annual passes prompt the ticket machines to say "welcome" when u put them in the slots?) - ours do
Some do some don't, but so do normal day tickets, I never seem to get a welcome, I simply believe they think I visit too much for living in England :lol: , but that's completely off topic :P .
So I like the new look of them and if I renew mine woo I will be getting an annual pass about 4 days before the actual anniversary :D .
Lol, I think the turnstiles saying "welcome" is just random. They can't have every machine doing it for every person, since then the amount of "welcome"s would be a bit deafening. So Patrick I'm sure they weren't really picking on you. :P
Though the Flying Carpets fastpass machine swallowing my AP 30minutes after I got it was quite mean... :lol:
The brochures for Summer 07 should be distributed to travel agents starting half December.
UK is always the first brochure finished. This week we have finished the Belgian and French brochure. It will be sent to the firm to print it and will be distributed in Belgian starting 18th December.
New for the 15th: Princess & Pirates packages ;-)
Got my new brouchure through today, the 15th anni one. One thing I noticed, it only states two new attractions opening in the year, Crush's Coaster and Cars. No mention of either the Stitch attraction or the Tower for 2007
Ofcourse not. I said so many times before that Tower of Terror won't open in 2007. And the Stitch Encounter isn't even confirmed.
I've just uploaded some scans of the brochure:
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/11/images/15thbrochure/001sm.jpg) (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/11/images/15thbrochure/003sm.jpg)

Ok, I said "some", but really it was a case of "just one more... just one more... just one more!". The brochure is really that nice. :)
If you're in the uk - get it now!!! But not if you're prone to impulse-booking. :P
The computer graphics (castle with characters), although seen before just looks so good and gives a real indication of what the celebration is going to be like. Plus the one with the characters and dressed up children is good, though we all know it isn't just for the kids!!
I like it aswelll, and I think its the best I've seen...During the last years the brochures haven't been really nice....in my opinion....But this one is really nice and I think the celebration will be very good...But they didn't mention Tower of Terror so it seems that it won't open in 2007...Will the celebration continue in 2008?Or is it just in 2007?
QuoteBut they didn't mention Tower of Terror so it seems that it won't open in 2007
How many times do I have to say: 2008. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
(2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008) :P
Maybe your right...But I'm bullheaded :D :D ....I mean I belive you but still there is a little bit of hope...Maybe its a birhtday surprise....Ok ok, I will stop....2008.... :( ok
Just to answer your earlier question, swity - the celebration continues until March 2008.
That means unless Tower of Terror opens in 2008 they'll have nothing to fill those final 3 months and end it with a bang, so I'm afraid 2008 it will be. (The new WDS parade rumours seem to have died for now)
So Tower of Terror is opening in 2009 raptor? :P
Quote from: "DisneyBud"So Tower of Terror is opening in 2009 raptor? :P
Don't be silly, you know that it's openning in 2007 :lol:
Hehe
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"Don't be silly, you know that it's openning in 2007 :lol:
I'm so curious...I can't wait till its opening.... :( When do you think Disney will disclose it???
When Toon Studio opens, or later.
A better question - when will they announce the Toon Studio (Crush and Cars) opening? With bookings now being made, they can't keep putting a vague "June 2007" for ever...
This discussion should probably go in the relevant topics though.
wow the broshure looks really nice, I really want to go next year, too bad the TT won't be open by then, I don't thínk I can go again in 2008, so then I'll have to wait even longer to finally experience it.
Those candles are the exact same design as the candle malifacent holds in a scene in sleeping beauty
French newspaper Le Parisien is running a special series of 5 articles this week revealing the elements of the 15th Anniversary.
Yesterdays revealed details about the music for Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=575), and today's looks at the Chateau decorations...
(//http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/281/15cansdisneyparisien25kd6.jpg)
Thanks to gldsun on DCP for the scan.
What my eyes are drawn to is the fact that Goofy's head is GOLD. And the same seems to be the case for the characters in the artwork behind... so does this mean they won't be full-colour statues afterall?
I'm going to translate both articles on DLRP Today in a bit. It's a great bit of advertising - le parisien seem to like DLRP for some reason, they did a good article on LOTLK when it premiered.
I'm sure I can see a bit of colour on the artworkd, O i hope they aren't all gold, even though tasteful, colour would be soooo much better!
Compare it with this one:
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/images/12-15thchange-05.jpg)
...And they definitely look gold. Dumbo and Goofy in particular stand out.
Either the colour version was just for the marketing, or they changed their minds. I suppose all those different colours would clash quite a bit. Gold will hopefully fit in well because the castle already has so many gold elements.

Yup can accept that! :P
QuoteWhat my eyes are drawn to is the fact that Goofy's head is GOLD. And the same seems to be the case for the characters in the artwork behind... so does this mean they won't be full-colour statues afterall?
Something else in the article was eye catching. The guy says that all the decorations will be put up over night. So that probably means there won't be a castle refurb... :(

Yep - I actually read on DCP (where else.. lol) that the refurb now probably won't take until 2008, after the anniversary. Seems a strange way to do things.

This is a huge dissapointment. The castle is in an awful state. There's even mildew on some parts of structure. And don't begin to talk about the bridge in front of the castle, please. :(

The latest Shareholders newletter gives the name of the character train as being "Disney's Character Express", whilst the illumination ceremony seems to be called "Candalabration". There isn't any more info since for some reason this is the December newsletter (all the other news is old). For attraction previews it just says "Join us in May 2007 to preview Crush's Coaster and Cars Race Rally", whilst there's no mention of a preview for the April kick-off.
I assume that Disney wants to pull out all the stops when it comes to their 15th/Toon Studios marketing? Can anyone tell me when we are able to see commercials in newspapers, magazines, radio and on the television? I guess they have to start their campaign in a few weeks, especially since most European families are making plans for the summer holidays at the moment. :)
I have no idea when advertising for the 15th will start, but I do know they're still running adverts for Kids Free here in the UK (particularly on digital channels like E4).
I hope the upcoming Peter Pan DVD features some kind of trailer or promo insert. As for a full campaign for the 15th... their silence isn't encouraging, but maybe it's intentional? :?
their trouble is if they start advertising now no ones gonna bother going in feb and march if there is so much worth waiting for.
We're going feb 10th - 15th :D
The new tickets...
Quote from: "DLRP Today"Your ticket to the dream
Back in the "good old days", the ever-changing designs of the park passports was always a fun element of each visit to the resort, giving a sense of something new and different about each visit - and something nice to sell on eBay all these years later! With the introduction of a more modern ticket system in 2002, generic tickets became the norm for the past five years. Now, for the 15th Anniversary, they're finally shaking it up again...
The new park tickets were announced at the Cast Member Rendez-Vous event earlier this month, and now the designs of the eight different new passport designs have been released. Each ticket option, Park Hopper and 1-Day/1-Park, will have four different designs, each featuring a different graphic from the set of fifteen candle-holding characters we've grown to recognise over the past six months.
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-01sm.jpg) (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-01.jpg)
The characters chosen to feature are Dumbo, Pinocchio and Pluto, with the fourth design presenting the full set of characters surrounding the large gold "15". Unfortunately, the same set of designs are re-used for each ticket type, with colours and text changed, perhaps making the collection a little less exciting than if a larger number had been used. As reported earlier, Passe-Partout (Park Hopper) tickets are gold, whilst 1-Jour/1-Parc tickets are purple.
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-02sm.jpg) (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-02.jpg)
(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-03sm.jpg) (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/01/images/28-15thtickets-03.jpg)
One noticable addition to these tickets is the text on the front. Early tickets simply featured the Disneyland Paris logo, whilst those from the past five years simply featured either the Passe-Partout logo or, for the 1-Day/1-Park, a set of Mickey ears. Whilst strange to see the text is presented only in French rather than the usual French/English combination, this should make it much easier for guests - and Cast Members - to see at a glance which ticket they have.
The tickets are expected to begin use on 1st April 2007, the official start of the 15th Anniversary Celebration, and will be used throughout the entire Anniversary year. Then, in March 2008, we'll almost certainly get another new design - good news for collectors (and eBay sellers) !

:P Ah well, I was hoping for a ticket with just Cheshire on it, but I'll be happy with the group pic since he's on that. :cry: I'm so happy/excited that Cheshire is among these chosen candle-holding characters. The pictures of him in the brochure are so beautiful, and I'm sure the statue of him on the castle will be just as great! :D I'M SO BLOODY EXCITED!
:lol: Roll on June!
I saw these earlier in the month and was impressed the modern, minimalist design. They are very nice.
Though it does look like Pluto is setting his own ear on fire.
Looking great!! I loved those tickets, it was indeed that little extra magic! Good to have them back, for now?
I liked the tickets when they were credit card like, now they're card, correct? Are the 15th ones going to be plastic or card?
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"Though it does look like Pluto is setting his own ear on fire.
Hehe - I've heard that so many times now. :D
Quote from: "DisneyBud"I liked the tickets when they were credit card like, now they're card, correct? Are the 15th ones going to be plastic or card?
Card, I think. If only because I think all the ticket printing machines can only print card tickets, but also these designs have square edges, when the (much nicer, like you say) plastic ones were rounded.
I love the font they're using these days, for the "billet.." part on these tickets. It's modern but fits with the "magical" design.
:lol: Pinocchio is a fire hazard, being made out of wood and being exposed to a naked flame like that.
LOL! :lol:
That's a point though - these characters messing around with candles isn't teaching kids good fire safety now, is it? Maybe they need to print a disclaimer... :P They'd never dare do it in the US!
Whahahahha :lol:
:roll: Characters like Goofy shouldn't be anywhere near dangerous things, and characters that are young like Pinocchio and Dumbo may not have been taught fire safety yet!
:lol: And am I the only one that can imagine Cheshire "accidently" setting the Castle on fire? :P Like how he "accidently" got Alice in trouble.
Sure he can :D The problem is, most of the disney characters can do sth. like this "accidently"! Maybe they have chosen the staunchly ones: After the ceramony the castle is still standing. Perhaps on fire, but standing.
In case of other characters like stitch the hole resort will be a crater :wink:

You know you're a DLRP fan when you get excited by the cups. :wink:
There are napkins too, I'll take a photo of 'm tomorrow. :P
Wow I don't believe I have ever felt so very sad as I do now. Officially this has to be one of the strangest things we have talked about :lol: . But yay, new cups and napkins, about time :P . The cup looks very cool, strangely got me even more excited, now everything that has the number 15 on seems to make me excited :lol: .
Nothing wrong with getting excited about napkins! Free souvenirs :lol:
Here you go:
(//http://www.photosmagiques.com/raptor1982/napkins_15th.jpg)
I want one...!
In my photo album from my first visit to DLRP I have napkins..sugar sachets....!
Oooooh the napkins are lovely, thanks for the photo! :lol: I really like the logo there, looks better than it normally does!
I'm very very impressed with how far they're spreading the 15th now, there's absolutely no way you can miss it. :)
:lol: Cups and napkins... *Wipes away a tear of happiness* :P
Prepare yourself, it looks like we have coasters too!

The logo translates really well to this kind of design. :)
Ok, some non-paper-tissue news:
Quote from: "DLRP Today"Unfortunately, I've received word from a Cast Member in Paris that the badges have been recalled and will soon be replaced again. It seems the "Where dreams come true" tagline used on the nametags is already in use by another company, and so a quick redesign may apparently be required to avoid any unwanted legal action. The ongoing use of the slogan on the Disney Parks website and elsewhere may suggest an agreement has since been made between the two parties, although it should be noted that all mention of "Where dreams come true" has now been totally removed from Paris' 15th Anniversary logos and copy. Never a dull day at DLRP, eh?
And this is confirmed to be true! :lol: It doesn't seem like CMs will get to keep the nametags either, as they usually do when they're replaced, all the "old" 15th ones have to be returned.
And also:
Quote from: "DLRP Today"But it doesn't end there - the Anniversary will even take flight, 100 metres into the air above the resort, to be exact! The unmissable PanoraMagique balloon at Disney Village will be joining the celebration with a special overlay adding a new design around its middle, featuring several large "15" emblems joined together by a stylish red fabric (-styled) band.
Source (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/02/forget-parade-what-about-napkins.html)
wow napkins and coasters!!! theyll go perfect in my collection lol
Sorry, silly question, but... what are coasters? :lol: I mean instead of roller coasters...
Coasters are little round mats you put a cup on while you are using it.
"Oh dear...I seem to have misplaced my 'Where dreams come true' nametag!" *runs to make a fortune on eBay* lol
If only.
:D I've never been on that big balloon, but I think I'll have to this time round!

Wow, awesome music. Imagine abridged in TV :shock:. I've read that 2006 was the best year since opening, but 2007 will strike it, definitely!
The actual TV commercial will use a similar red carpet theme with lots of characters. Here's a small screenshot from it:
(//http://www.disneylandparis.com/uk/15th_anniversary/images/visu_K7.jpg)
That is very spectacular, certain to entice those that may not necessarily visit the park all that often
Why don't they use this intro as commercial , it's GREAT!
That is awesome, really magical :)
WOW ! By watching the intro I really got goosebumps. It's fantastic !

CHECK IT OUT NOW!
//http://www.disneyland15.com
Closed again :( What did it look like?
Ooooh they're just teasing us now. :lol: Someone on DCP said it featured a "video about the creation of the new attractions". :)
Someone's sat over in Marne-la-Vallée having a good laugh, I expect. I didn't think it'd be launched so soon though - hopefully we don't have much longer to wait.
Oh that's strange!
The new website was fantastic! It was all done in flash with the video we have already seen as the introduction. It then goes into this sort of central plaza location with different characters dancing to the 'Year of a Million Dreams' music. Then a guide to the website appears and starts talking about the 15th Anniversary. You can then use arrows that are at either side to navigate to different parts of the website.
Town Square - has a drawing of the first float from the new parade with a lot of characters - Aurora and Prince Phillip dancing in the middle of the street and a few others.
There's also Adventureland, Under the Sea (Nemo) and a Cars section. There are a lot of videos there too - including a behind the scenes one of the preparations. There were snippets of the unpainted parade floats. One of the videos also states that the Tower of Terror will carry the 'Twilight Zone' branding and will open in January 2008.
I haven't really been around here much but did you know about this:

QuoteWalt Disney's Parade of Dreams opens the ball
Yeah I noticed that too - very accurate lol!
The website mentioned something about 15th Anniversary Ambassadors too. The end of one of the videos ended in the same way as the 'Year of a Million Dreams' adverts (with Cinderella Castle) but the DLRP 15th Anniversary logo.
Martin
Yes, that's how the tv commercial well end too.
Thanks for the description Martin! Sounds like VMK-style exploration thing, and a very large project.
The blog - wow, that's an idea I didn't expect! Shame that the design is a bit naff and it's all very corporate though. A (C) or (R) after every official name, and the translation makes the text sound dull. It's not professional enough to be totally official, but not amateurish enough to be a nice fan project.
At first I thought "Tristane" was a made-up person, but then I realised she's in that video. :lol:
The site is back up and running!!! Woooooooooow!!!!!!!
Yaaaay! It's amazing!!
=D> =D> =D>
Amazing!!!!!!! :lol:
Edit: - They mention ToT in one of the trailers! :? :o
Edit2: The behind-the-scenes video is sooo good!
Edit3: On the main page, click the arrow on the far right to go to the next screen. What's that music? An instrumental of "Just Like We Dreamed It", or am I dreaming? It definitely sounds high school musical-ish like we heard...
so what shows will actually be on in august in the celebrations, is lion king stopping for the celebrations? sorry if this has already been said, i should really read through the topic but its really long lol im lazy :roll: :lol:
If you haven't already done it yet, watch the behind the scenes video ("15th aniversary" on toolbar and then down to "behind the scenes") as it shows never before seen pictures and clips of the parade floats, cars vehicles and concept art and crush's coaster including the submarine scene!!! :D
the site is great just looked at it have you all entered the comp to win tickets? :P
The music on the parade/characters page has to be from DOUADP right? All the other music is from the resort, so why wouldn't this be? I love it, it sounds very professional, but I can't imagine everyone clapping and singing along to it... unlike our dear Dancin.
Does sound great however! Wonder how the lyrics fit it :P
Such a fantastic website! This is shaping up to be one of the best celebrations that a Disney Park has ever thrown!
the new sites fab! i want to get the music!
Wow! It´s a great new site!
:D
finally it seems that WDI get some influence on disney websites :lol:
:shock: .....this is looking SO impressive..... :shock:
What a fantastic website. WOW !!! That's so amazing. I cannot believe that DLP really created this. Absolutely great ! Tonight I will watch out this site much more then I did now. :wink: So a big applaus to DLP for this website !! =D>
it wont work for me, so can anyone please tell me what shows there will be, is lion king going to be on?
Quote from: "fly_with_me_dumbo"it wont work for me, so can anyone please tell me what shows there will be, is lion king going to be on?

:shock: :cry: The Candle Ceremony looks so beautiful.
I can't wait to see Main Street with the new banners, they look great!
The best thing about the banners is that they totally fit with Main Street. I hope all the people who've hated Halloweens and all the various Carnivals give DLRP a massive pat on the back for that. It'd be cool if the poles still illuminated at night, I can't remember what I read about that.
The Bougillumination art looks beautiful - the candles look bright, don't you think? They look like that on the TV spot too... definitely more "dazzling" than I expected. I wonder if they'll fade up and down or flicker aswell?
Can someone explain to me what the chandeliers are doing? On the concept art, I couldn't see them, just the posts they once sat on. What's going on there? The banners themselves are incredible however. Such a nice dreamy colour-scheme, yeh very regal and professional. Will the stage have those intricate anniversary details added do you think, or is this "artistic license" again
Also, the costumes of Bougilluminations match those of the new Dream Along With Mickey show in MK (with the exception of Chip and Dale who don't appear in that show), again making me think they will use the opening tune (from that show) in Bougilluminations. It's just a hunch, no idea why lol. In that show, Minnie and the gang prepare the stage before Mickey arrives, just like the Enchanted Fairytale Ceremony.
QuoteWe're gonna have a party, like none we've ever seen before
Minnie: Oh this is so exciting, we'd better get ready!
So much anticipation, just feel it in the air,
A magical occasion, for everyone to share...
Goofy: Hey look, we've got decorations
Minnie: Oh they're perfect!
Donald: Where does this go?
Minnie; Over there, yes, there! Alright then, we're all set
Goofy: Yippee!
Join the party, a castle party
You're all invited to come and join the fun
So let's get started, so much to do
So join the party, where dreams really do come true
Get ready for the magic, a spectacle beyond compare...
There's romance and adventure, there's laughter and much more
With our imagination, imagine what's in store...
QuoteWelcome to a Kingdom of dreams
Where enchantment never ends
Where every day is a magic day
To celebrate with all our friends... all our friends!
I wonder if we're likely to get anything like the articulated characters for it also? :P Wishful thinking :wink:
I really love the TV Spot. It makes you totally excited for that big party. And after all the new material, which is popping up for the 15th birthday, I really think it will be a big party. Everything looks fantastic. The colours of the banners totally fit to the Main Street and to the castle too. The whole decoration theme has a real classical style which I really prefer, with all that cold and light colours. And Bougilluminations looks soooo beautiful. I'm really going to be crazy, because I can't await it any longer to see this all myself. I really going to think that with all these birthday stuff, this year's going to be DLP's year.
The latest concept art (below) shows us the final designs of the castle character decorations and the new arrival of Mr.Buzz Lightyear!!!

Quote from: "Baloo"Quote from: "fly_with_me_dumbo"okay then :) its just i wanted to know about special 15th anniversary celebration shows aswell
The first page of this topic (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=541) recaps everything for you, or you can see information here (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/guides/15thanniversary/) as well. :wink:
thanks :D
Quote from: "Baloo"I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this - I think it's easily the best TV ad they've ever done!
I agree, the commercial looks very good. Hopefully it will work and encourage people to visit the Resort! :wink:
By the way; I was thinking about specific merchandising for the 15th anniversary. Can we expect a new CD? I now that we got an updated version of Les Parades en Musique last year, but with the new parade it seems outdated already. So can we expect a 15th anniversary album, just like they did in 1997 and 2002 with previous celebrations? :)
Yes, I believe there was a topic about it some time ago. A new cd is scheduled and should feature the new song from the Winnie the Pooh and Friends too Show.
More visuals come from Mouetto on DCP:

The Disney Characters Express concept and route / stops.
Wow! Seem to be a lot of fun!
that express looks really really good, i did wounder tho, it seems like woody, buzz are on it, odes that mean they will appear in the disneyparc from now on aswell.
AND..... i did watch the advert from the 15th celebration, and i saw a lumuire...(the candle stick from b&tb) was on the right hand side as a character, and since he is everywhere, i wounder if hes character will start to appear in the park on meet and greets. I really really hope so.
:D Wow, the brooch is beautiful!
Ah the train looks sooo cool, really like the colour scheme. Not long to go now!!!
Looks like the German Disney Channel is even advertising the 15th Anniversary. Even includes footage from inside the elevator shaft in Tower of Terror and even more models from Once Upon A Dream, don't think there's much more they could possibly give away lately.

Make's me wonder if our rubbish Disney Channel over here in the UK have bothered at all to advertise dlrp instead of constant rubbish tv shows.

I agree, I've never understood why the Disney channel doesn't play some sort of current advert at least once or twice per day, maybe even that Disney guide that is played in your hotel room at disney where the girls voice is so far out of synch it's laughable. I get fed up of them repeating Raven etc......
Greetings from in-side the magic...
I to agree about the disney channel uk
many years ago there was promo ike behide the magic and adverts about the resorts..but now a days its just the same repeats surly some one can sort this out we need more magic from this channel.bring back mickey mouse club show us the way to dreams so all can enjoy the disney exp..
hi i know the celebration runs till march next year but is it till the start of march or the end prob a stupid question i know sorry :oops:
I wrote to the Disney Channel back in 2000 and asked why they didn't do more about the parks on their channels. The answer I got back was that due to British laws on monopolies, park features are deemed as advertising, and unless Disney opened up their channels to other advertisers, they are not allowed to show features over a certain percentage of the time.
Bummer! :( :evil:
Quote from: "shell_ely"hi i know the celebration runs till march next year but is it till the start of march or the end prob a stupid question i know sorry :oops:
Until 31st March as far as I know, with new things appearing pretty much right up to that date! (Tower of Terror, Stitch Encounter and maybe Stars and Motor Cars, you never know)
Interesting fact about the 15th Anniversary trailer... It was directed by Peter Webber (//http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0916424/), who also directed Hannibal Rising
Just found another really cool trailer on YouTube. It's a longer version of the one on the 15th Anniversary site!
Enjoy 8)

Wow! It´s more and more a fences-trip.
Hope they accomplish it in time!
The castle looks so grubby there :(
Well they have like 26 days i'm sure they can do it if they can build a tower of terror that fast they can surely put decorations in the park.
Just one thought of the Chracter Express. From the photos here it does look very much like the Dumbo float from the WWODP. Just in different colours. Do you think they use this float ? So they have just changed a bit of the deco and props and gave it a new colour ? When yes, then I think it will be amazing to see this big float arrive with lots of Chracters to have fun with. :wink:
Yes, it will be the Dumbo float. I'm sure it was posted a few pages ago.
I'm wondering how they're going to pull it off, guest flow wise...
The official website has been updated a bit:
http://www.disneyland15.com/?r=home&l=uk&c=uk#ceremony (http://www.disneyland15.com/?r=home&l=uk&c=uk#ceremony)
So now we have three English names for Bougillumination:
- Candlabration (shareholders newsletter)
- Candlebration (can't remember where i saw this one)
- Candleabration (disneyland15.com)
:roll: I might just revert to Bougillumination out of protest for silly names.
Oh, and "Tristane" updated "her" blog... but only in french. I guess she's busy putting it through google translater right about now. :P
Edit: And is it "Disney's Character Express" or "Disney Characters' Express"? These things really bother me!
By the way - do you think we should have separate topics for these events?
It's Candleabration for sure.
I've just seen the 15th aniversary advert on TV, i'm so excited!!!
For anyone who is interested, it will be on again on E4+1 at 6:45 tonight :)

I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this - I think it's easily the best TV ad they've ever done!
According to my best friend in the UK, the advert made its first appearence on ITV in the UK tonight.
He was in a local bar and apparently once the voiceover started the pub actually went quietier with loads of people watching the advert till the end, when normally adverts are just ignored. Obviously it is a super high-quality advert and finally something musically and visually on par with the resort itself for a change.
I've had 8 texts tonight from friends wanting to come over to dlrp this year aswell - coinsidence or is the advert working already?
Great to hear!! The advert was on television here in Belgium as well during the highly anticipated launch of Heroes.

Wow, that's so great! I can't believe the pub actually went quieter. I may have to stay near a TV at all times tomorrow, waiting. I've seen the ad, but on TV... this whole thing might finally seem real. :)
A friend of mine who I introduced to dlrp a couple of years ago returned with her sister a few weeks ago and when I asked "so you enjoyed all the fences?" she started talking immediately about the 15th signs on them all the preparations. Nice work DLRP. :wink:
Quote from: "raptor1982"Great to hear!! The advert was on television here in Belgium as well during the highly anticipated launch of Heroes.
Off topic but Heroes is awesome - i'm up to ep14 ;)
The spot was in german tv too. At Pro 7 during "Finding Nemo" at Sunday night :D
Oh great everyone saw the spot on TV and I missed it. I hope I will see it in the next days. I will now watch more TV then ever. But great to hear that so many people are enjoying the spot and got interest for DLP. That's so great.
I saw it yesterday here in the netherlands it was aweomse to see it.
I saw it :lol: , during the break on living TV during Charmed about 15 minutes ago, wow I watch too much daytime TV :lol: . Definately is great to see :) .
Quote from: "PATMAGIC"I saw it :lol: , during the break on living TV during Charmed about 15 minutes ago, wow I watch too much daytime TV :lol:
Hahahaha...
Well, it's great to see the advert is making its way to so many channels, timeslots and countries all at once! I don't think DLRP have ever had such a good "launch" before, this is a brilliant kick-off.
My Mum said she saw the advert when I was at school today. Stupid school :evil:
just seen it this minute on itv3 after watching super market sweep :oops: i was actually reading this thinking i'll have to watch out for it :D :D
Please tell me Supermarket sweep was just on, so that you could catch the new advert!! :D
I've caught it three times today-third time I was in the kitchen and heard the start and just had to come back in to watch it!
i have been waiting to see if i can spot it on tv, not a chance yet, not fair, lol :(
this sucks, i dont watch tv and daughter has sky perm on bloody disney channel who CAN'T show the advert!!! :(
I havent seen it yet!!! :cry: Well, I switched over to a channel to see the final frame, yelled out that I missed it, and then it went!! Ah I really need to see it!!
My father saw it here in the Netherlands! :D I haven't seen it yet!
I was just looking at Dlrp Magic when I realised something about the 15th aniversary, there are 15 new 'gifts' for the celebration:
1.Castle Character makeover
2.Disney's Character Express
3.Disney's Once upon a dream parade
4.Candleabration
5.High School Musical
6.Crush's Coaster
7.Cars Race Rally
8.The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
9.Stitch Encounter
10.Toon Studio
11.Hollywood Studio
12.Kids under 7 FREE!
13.Extra Magic Hours
14.Tailor Made Dreams
15.TGV Est
Was this done intentionally or was it some kind of freaky coincidence that there are 15 things? :?
Hmm don't know, but I would say just a random thing, seems too precise for it to be Disney thought. Suppose it's still a better idea than say Year of a Million dreams, wonder if they will actually give out a million dreams :lol: .
Plus kids free and magic hours are not particularly new things.
You forgot More Characters, Alpha-Bet You Are and I'm sure there are some other things as well :wink:
What was said about this commercial having such an imapct is so true!
In my house this evening (there's 6 of us, plus partners) we were watching the preview episode of Hollyoaks on E4 and when the advert came on, the room stopped talking, we stopped eating our dinner and most of us seemed amazed!
It has an epic value and the edit of the music is far better than the Virgin Holidays version we recently had on air. It all seems complete, grand, magical and shows the resort in such a good light! My only wish is that they'd leave the shot of the castle until the end, to give it a finale. The castle is used at the end now of course, but we also see it as the first shot of the comercial. It gets your attention and makes you pay attention, yet shows you the best bit first.
Isn't the English guy narrating it so boring anyway? He sounds tired and almost sarcastic when he talks :roll:
Wow, I need to start watching Supermarket Sweep and Hollyoaks... :lol:
I flicked around the Sky channels during some ad breaks earlier but saw nothing.
You can watch it online here:
http://www.visit4info.com/preview-flash ... adid=43354 (http://www.visit4info.com/preview-flash.cfm?vm=0&type=3&adid=43354)
You're right Kris, very boring voiceover, he sounds like he's thinking "what the..??" as he reads it. But the fact he says everything so slow could be a trick to pull people in. We're used to such fast adverts that slow speech makes you actually listen to what's coming next.
Shame they didn't get Kelsey Grammer though... :wink: :wink:
Wow, I do love it!!! That isn't actually the new Alice float though is it? Looks a bit like the One from Parade of Dreams in California. Also I think the Crush's Coater bit is quite funny, 'cos the family are just holding a bar lol. Agree they could have done better on the VO!!
wow we saw the comercial last night it is very very good , just hope there is still room in the hotels when we want to go ! ha ha
Quote from: "DisneyBud"That isn't actually the new Alice float though is it? Looks a bit like the One from Parade of Dreams in California.
Your right, it is the float from Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams in California.
Our Alice float isn't fully completed yet.

Since we're nearing the launch of the anniversary and this topic is getting busier, separate official topics have now been created for Candleabration (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1639), Disney Characters' Express (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1638) and the 15th Castle & Park Decorations (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1640).
DLRP have rolled out their online advertising for the UK today!
You can see ads featured at the bottom of this page:
http://www.dlrpmagic.com/ (http://www.dlrpmagic.com/)
And in the side bar of this page:
http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/ (http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/)
(might take a few refreshes, they're pooled)
They're quite nice I think. The flash looks cheap as always, but the red carpet part is very very eye catching. :)
Na, that Alice float IS NOT our new Alice float. Ours is quite surreal and has a huge Alice stuck inside a doll's house, with her head poking out of a window on the front. It's very different. The whole commercial was filmed in DLR, which is a bit strange considering it's especially made for us.
Probably one of TWDC's ways of helping us out, by creating the commercial.
I keep watchin the adverts which i must admit are really good.
but does anyone think that lumuire (candle stick from b&tb)
might become a character. Ive seen him in the adverts, and he has been on many park decors and stuff. i think he would be good, does anyone think he might be on the drawing bored as a character

There is a character, he has been used in many old Disneyland Paris shows, Disney's Classic's the music and the magic, Beauty and the Beast and probably some more. So can't see a reason why he can't be in the park if they are thinking about it. Would be nice to see him if he is in something over the 15th.
Quote from: "Kris"Probably one of TWDC's ways of helping us out, by creating the commercial.
No, most of DLRP's commercials are filmed at California. Remember the previous one with the Peter Pan kid jumping on the bed? California...
Christmad ad... California! (They even flew over Aurora's and Phillip's costume).
I'll try to trace back why.
Well yeah, but what I mean is that perhaps the reason why it's filmed there is because TWDC can make it free for us, using their own equipment and stuff, rather than letting an external agency make it in Europe? This way the company helps out DLRP (in financial difficulty) without having to actually hand over money. The value of making the advert is actualy more than it would cost TWDC for example, plus they get more control over how DLRP is promoted. It's a nice little business thing I think.
The most recent set of commercials, with the Pirate boy, Peter Pan Kid and Princess girl have been used in conjunction with other TWDC promotions, so I'm not so sure it ws made exclusively for us actually. I always thought they were for DLRP, until recently :?
No they don't get it for free, but like you said as they use it for other projects as well they can share the costs.
Would be nice to see our Sleeping Beauty castle though!!! I could have sworn the Xmas ad was Paris (is that the one with the snowglobe?) I'm probably wrong though.
That was California for sure, but they always blend in the Castle digitally.
the whole commercial-swap idea is not because of the financial situation in paris, but to cut costs company wide... there is a large library of resort shots worldwide which they use to create the many worldwide commercials (and the one for the 15th is quite obvious, since they needed shots of a parade that isn't running yet)....
you can see many Phantom Manor shots in various DLRA commercials and promo's as well as the fact that Paris' BTM is used in most worldwide commercials for the various resorts....
it has nothing to do with any financial setbacks, but purely to show the best possible shots they have to promote any resort.
Just like the last shot from the 15th commercial is from the WDW version of the "year of a million dreams"-campagne
Quote from: "jortlaban"Just like the last shot from the 15th commercial is from the WDW version of the "year of a million dreams"-campagne
They could have skipped that part of the commercial, so isn't this more of a global rebranding thing? Although we don't have the Year of A Million Dreams campagne, maybe they want one global style for all Disney Resorts? Lots of stuff from Year of Million Dreams is now used for Paris' 15th aswell.
Finally! I just saw the advert! :D
My Daughter was heading off for bed last night and I screamed at her to come back down. She thought she was in BIG trouble, for some usual crime of leaving stuff sprawled eveywhere as usual. I'm jumping round the living room going "LOOK! LOOK!" and my 12 year old rolls her eyes at me and says "Yes, Mum, Disney, Well done!!
Some children do NOT know how to appreciate the little things (or in the case of the advert-great) things in life! I will sit on her the next time the advert is on and MAKE her appreciate what this is all about!

:shock: :D Relax! It's just an advert :P
For people in the UK, this weeks RadioTimes (10-16 March) features a special two page advert for the 15th aniversary. It just shows you how well DLRP are advertising it.
P.S. It makes a great poster :wink:
With regards to the Radio Times advert, it perhaps gives an indication to some of the more rare characters (don't know how often these are in the park) But it had the 3 little pigs and Hyacinth the hippo from Fantasia. Mickey's and Buzz's face both look very orange though lol
I was waiting to come on the computer and the telly was on and I squealed and was like "we're going there!" to my brother! Who was shuddering cos he's scared of the character's! (And we're having breakfast with the character's)
I think all this advertising is working! I've met quite a few people recently who are visiting DLRP for the first time soon! :lol:

:shock: OMG, I'd be so happy if I saw her in the Park!
:( So far, I've only seen the shortened version of the ad. :roll: My mum's seen the normal version twice though whilst I've been out. The short version doesn't show the two new rides, but the long one does aparently.
Sounds like it's the same as the French ones which have started popping up:

Beautiful advert, I've really grown to like this visual they're using after kinda hating it at first. The sky in the background is lovely, and I like how it seems to jump out at you.
I agree with DisneyBud though - it's a shame they used Buzz and Woody, since their faces look awful, but the mix of characters is really cool. It's strange how they keep using the 3 Little Pigs in all the adverts too...
anyone who goes to cinema if you pick up the unlimited magazine there is an advert in that, its only one page and its not as good as that one but its an advert and its disney :D

:P Aww, the White Rabbit looks adorable in that pic!
@ RnRCj - :( Yup, my mum says that the one she saw showed a little preview of the Cars ride and Crush's Coaster, so me and you are still missing out!

Also really good advert in the radio times, maybe I should actually go and buy a copy I am in a supermarket all week anyway :lol: . Also why does Buzz get front place, shouldn't Minnie or another fab5 member be at the front. Also no royalty, hmm nice to see for once dlrp have realised not all of disney is about princesses and their mostly unnamed princes :wink: .

Probably UGC/Cineworld?
I'm very very impressed with DLRP, this is a great campaign! I just got a text from a friend asking "what anniversary are disney paris celebrating this year?", and it turns out it was a question in a pub quiz! Already! :D So I guess the 15th is "general knowledge" amongst the british population? lol
Realy nice to see popping up all this wonderful parts of the campaign!
This one they have realy done the best! :stitch_bounce:

And I just want a place in your suitcase! :cry:
very nice frame !! Today I received an invitation from DLP for their 15th birthday. It is a very nice promotion letter and comes with a small brochure presenting the new Parade, the two attractions, their special offers and the more characters. All styled in the 15th anniversary. Very nice. And their is an other special, they offer you a 15 % reduction when you book a package. Don't know if they offer it for every country, I received it here in Germany. This offer is only available till the 15th April and you need to book direct through DLp. The offer is for a travel to DLP between the 1st May and the 30th September. I wish I could post here some photos, but I don't know how to upload any photos here on the site.
hey, im going next thurs, and i can not wait....

Maybe you can get one of those countdown banners, disneymadchris. A lot of the members on the Disboards use those to countdown to their trip, maybe you can get one in your signature for the final WWoDP performance. :)

Had my AP Dream since July last year, I've had the newsletters but nothing as pretty as that invitation...

In germany you must book till april, 15th and it´s between 1 may and 30 september to get the 15 % of all packages (hotel, demipension and other per diems) .
@ Samninetysix: Maybe tomorrow :wink: this one is a present of yesterday

This is the same invitation which I had talked about earlier in this topic. Sadly we already have booked, so we missed the 15 % offer. :cry:

They added some shots of street advertising in France to the official blog. This one is sooooooo beautiful:

What is the building behind the TV Tour in the Studios?
Disney Village's new multistory car park. Well, "new" as in opened 2005. :wink:
What is the white factory looking thing, on the old DV carpark, next to Le Dome Disney?

Yes it´s amazing to see! I never was on the parking lot but I never see a pic of such a full dlrp parking :D
:pluto: It will certainly be really busy for the first weekend in April and in June. :cheshire_bounce:
Yeah and for all people coming this Saturday for the beginning of the Celebration there are bad news for the parade:
Main Street USA on both sides is just open for people with Event Badges (Press etc.)
I think for fans and for the normal paying guests it is really unfair. From which place should all the people watch the parade?
EDIT: Good news:
Everybody can see the fireworks show and candleabration...not only the invited guests! The park closes at 20,00 but from Main Street you can watch it ;) It is written on the normal flyers that every park guests can get 8) This is another good thing, because I heard, that guests have to leave for the fireworks.
The party is now!
The countdown has finished on DLRP Today. Woohoo!!!
The press really got treated to a superb show last night. When was the last time we had such huge fireworks on this scale?!

More on the forum too
WOW :shock:
I wish I was there. It looked incredible.
did anyone video the fireworks last night , if so please post it!
wow looks fantastic :ears:
OH MY GOD!
It looks amazing amazing! :D
:shock: That first picture where the sky is as rainbow just looks unreal, it's so beautiful! :P I envy every single person who was there! *Shakes fist* :lol:
It looks amazing. Everyting I've seen so far looked incredible. I can't believe this is in DLP. Its an appropriate start to the year we've been looking out for so long. May this be the first year of a succesful future for our beloved Resort. :)
We were there for 10th anniversary and all I can remember is a cheesey cake in the Princess parade and a birthday show, with a cheesey cake (I have a photo of Goofy dancing in front of it and DD sitting on it!)
These celebrations are absolutely incrediable! :D
Wish I could be there :cry:
its amazing anyone have a spare ticket to disney this holiday?
woah. i hope that wasnt just a one off for the press - ok so maybe they cant afford those fireworks too often, but just theres not much excuse for the thunder mountain effects not being used every night!
Wow! It´s so cool! I´m so happy to join the party in summer!
Hope the do this BTM effect then!
If this is the 15th, just imagine what they will be like come the 30th, 50th, 100th etc!!!
The pics are amazing!! :D
But this is surely only a press act, or will we see things like these (f.e. the BTM lightning-effect) again this year?
Quote from: "Nala_84"The pics are amazing!! :D

Well - that's what I'm afraid of as well...
The pics look great and I surely hope that this is not a one in a lifetime thing, and surely not only for the press.
Personally, I'm going on April 12 - April 14 (April 12 being THE day), and I hope that they will at least repeat what they did last saturday on the actual birthday as well, but I'm afraid I've missed the big spectacle :(
Either way - I must say that th ebougillumination looks incredibly good, and looking forward to that!!!
BTM was WOW when I saw those pictures with the light coming from behind it, and the fireworks - well - I really can't say anthing but 'it's a dream'...
Cheers!!!!
David.

Mwahaha! Sorry, I feel bad for anyone who couldn't see it. I hope they do repeat it for the 12th...
It was a pretty thrilling event, once we were past the "Bad Day" whining from you-know-who (a song about a bad day? to celebrate a Disney anniverary? lol) Of course, the public were herded to around the corner of Gibson Girl and Casey's Corner but... wow, what a show. Absolutely perfect in every way. Never seen anything like it before. :shock:
I filmed it as best I could, I'll upload it soon so you can see the event from a lowly guest point of view. :wink:

Hope you like. :) The videos aren't perfect obviously, but erm quite "atmospheric". :wink:
Without trying to sound incredibly gay! That video of the fireworks and the little show made me cry so much! When the new song came on I just burst out in tears! I can't believe I missed it.
I've got to get there this year as I went 3 times last year. Got to see the new parade.
I don't suppose anyone has the song that's in the video? It also appears in the parade on the stopping points I think. If anyone could send it over to me It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
-Nath
It happens to the best of us Nath!
That show really made me emotional watching it at home too. Just all the added mini-searchlights during the repirses of Just Like We Dreamed It made the whole event seem so powerful, huge, magical. We were continuously treated with the fireworks too, thinking they couldn't posibly get any better! All the other music and lighting of the show was imense. If I'd known that average guests were 100% going to be able to see this "press event" performance, I would have done everything in my power to get there. I didn't take the gamble though - and I missed out big time!
Other fans I've spoken to reacted in the same way as me, some holding in the tears or letting the eyes well up a bit and others pooring their eyes out. THAT true Disney feeling is when you feel that way, you get a shiver down your spine an yo get those goosebumps on your arms for "no aparent reason". That's what it's all about and you weren't on your own Nath :wink:
It's great, I ended up crying in last years christmas parade. When I get into the place I'm totally absorbed in my surroundings and I feel like i'm not in a themepark but some form of dream also.
The video was absolutely fantastic and it really hits you hard. My boyfriend constantly takes the mick out of me because I start crying when I see things like this. I just say he has no heart. :P
I honestly can't wait to go this year, have no idea when but I made 3 trips last year and this is just going to be amazing.
Quote from: "Nath"The video was absolutely fantastic and it really hits you hard. My boyfriend constantly takes the mick out of me because I start crying when I see things like this. I just say he has no heart. :P
Haha :lol: I agree, there's quite a few parts that are really really special, it took me about twice as long to put those videos online because I just kept watching it, again and again... goosebumps every time. Like when the kids recite their wishes speech then lights dim, the music from the teaser trailer sets off and Mickey "fires" their dreams onto the castle... Wow.
And with the crowd counting up the numbers to 15, it reaches Tink and the whole Castle sparkles, music builds, everyone cheering, that was just incredible. :shock:
I still can't believe this
actually happened. :o
Just a few pics of the parade,hope you like them,will post more soon(//http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/tomaarash/DSCF0933.jpg)(//http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/tomaarash/DSCF0756.jpg)(//http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/tomaarash/DSCF0766.jpg)(//http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/tomaarash/DSCF0762.jpg)(//http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/tomaarash/DSCF0752.jpg)
:D Lovely pictures fairydust!
:) But you should try and edit your post so that each picture is on its own line, so they're not stretching the page.
Great Scar photo. I just LOVE that puppet.
I hope my question fits in here ;)
It's about the "MORE Characters" announcement for the 15th. I saw on dlrpmagic.com (I think it was "today") a picture which shows Goofy and Chip & Dale in front of Big Thunder Mountain/Thunder Mesa.
--> Will they be there daily?! Or will there be other special Characters (coz they wear western clothes) in front of other special backgrounds to take a picture with them?
:lol: I was just looking on the anniversary website when I found this on the Cars page:
"...it's all aboard with Flash McQueen in Cars Race Rally."
"...with helpful advice from Flash McQueen and Martin."
Quote from: "Nala_84"Will they be there daily?! Or will there be other special Characters (coz they wear western clothes) in front of other special backgrounds to take a picture with them?
Check the Entertainment Programme when you arrive for times and locations of characters. The actual characters change all the time - in that same article you can see some in Fantasyland, at Castle Stage, Jack Sparrow, etc. The western characters are quite likely because they seem to like them at the moment, but nothing is ever guaranteed with character appearances.
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy":lol: I was just looking on the anniversary website when I found this on the Cars page:

"...with helpful advice from Flash McQueen and Martin."
Oh no, that's awful. :lol: Should we tell them? It's so unprofessional like that, and most of the rest of the text doesn't make much sense either.
"at the Walt Disney Studios Park" - DLRP state in their own rules you should never put "the" before a park name, it just sounds cheap.
"all aboard with flash mcqueen" - aside from the name, you say "all aboard" for trains, not cars. And
"we won't see you for dust" doesn't make sense to me. *sigh* It's not as bad as the text on disneylandparis.com though - I think a monkey could have done better with that, let alone Europe's largest tourist destination. :roll:
I was just watching Disney Channel and Disney 365 was on and they did a show on Disneyland Paris 15th ! It Showed Crushs coaster track and more and showed construction of Tower Of Terror and an Imagineer going up in a lift inside one of the towers lift shafts :) . ( Sort of like a Cherry Picker Type Lift, if you get me ? )
It also spoke of the new Once upon a Dream Parade ! .
Any idea if thats repeated?!!
Sounds the same as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7T1ScwZAdE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7T1ScwZAdE)

Wow! :shock: Amazing! (apart from Vin Diesel and the ugly castle at the end)
WHEN will they make a DVD with all this amazing footage?!
Vin Diesels alright.......to look at :D
Wow! Thats is fantastic. No really it is!
It makes you realise how much has happened over the last 15 years. Also, considering the lack of new attractions in that time, its just fantastic
Yes we must all say thank you to DJBass from DCP.
And I hope too, that they make a big DVD with all that stuff! :stitch_bounce:
:pluto: COOL 8)
I hope a new DVD comes soon! :D :D :D :D
We can only pray that they will make one [-o<
I went to the Disney Shop in Cardiff on monday and i was in there for over an hour and saw the 15th aniversary video many times. Nice to see the Tower of Terror in the video as before ive only ever seen crush and cars.
just found this on youtube and as the title says it must be one of the longest adverts ever for disney
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7AVfv6uimQ0 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=7AVfv6uimQ0)
Let´s run to the metro and see it for real :lol:
When do the special Celebrations end? Will they still be around in Feb 2008? As that is looking likely to be the next time I go. I really don't want to miss out on them, as it all looks so wonderful!
It's year long, April through March, so they'll still be on.
:)
I thought you were looking to go again at some point in September?
Didn't it work out?
:cry:
No, sadly it looks unlikely that I will be going in September. No one will come with me!
But I am so glad the Celebrations are lasting that long! I WILL get to see them!
:D
But I've just got a little while to go .. .. :x :cry:
You should do like I do and go on your own.
:)
I was a bit wary of it at first in March, wasn't sure how it would go, but once I got there I loved every minute of it.
It's nice to have some company but there's also something to be said for having the freedom to do what you want when you want.
I was thinking about going alone, but I wasnt sure about it. And it was really ok for you? you wernt too scared or anything ?
My main concern was the travelling. I'd been in the resot before on my own. First time I ever went I had a second day in the resort on my own while everyone else went to Paris, and last year, I went with my family but split up from them most days in the afternoon and did my own thing.
It was a bit different actually going on my own, and making the trip by car on my own. But I planned it out well, and it really wasn't an issue.
My main concern was getting lost, because I was driving so I bought a SatNav before I went. It was invaluable because I'd have struggled down around the M25. I've gone down the M1 plenty of times, but usually go down as far as Luton as I go down to Whipsnade Zoo fairly frequently (though I haven't had chance to go much this year).
I'd have also struggled in France. I probably would have found it a bit confusing initially coming off the ferry in Calais, and again once you get past Paris and around Charles de Gaul airport - but the SatNav made it easy and I only took a couple of wrong turns, and it quickly sorted me out.
Once you're in the resort though, there's so much to do that you really forget about being on your own. It's great to be able to go off and explore things on your own, and spend as much time looking at things as you want. I suppose it's each to their own really, and it's how you are as a person. It doesn't really bother me spending time on my own - though for years, I wouldn't have done something like this. But a few years ago, I felt like having a trip out to a zoo and made my way down to Whipsnade Zoo (which I hadn't been to for about 15 years), and spent the day there. I then started making regular trips around the country to zoo's and safari parks, and the way I looked at it, is if even if your friends aren't interested in doing the same things as you, why should you do without things and not experience them. And that's the attitude I had with Disney. I saw how easy it was last year to get there (initially wasn't thinking about driving), and didn't see why I shouldn't go back again.
New to the 15th anniversary site, Cars Race Rally:The Game
:arrow: http://www.disneyland15.com/?l=en&c=uk#carsgame (http://www.disneyland15.com/?l=en&c=uk#carsgame)
And not only that, I decided to try and clever and find the Crush Game which isn't on the site yet, and I was succesful :D Unfortunately, it isn't finished yet though :cry: So watch this link:
:arrow: http://www.disneyland15.com/?l=en&c=uk#crushgame (http://www.disneyland15.com/?l=en&c=uk#crushgame)
Lol, it's funny they put the Crush game online like that. :lol:
The Cars game is a bit boring but fairly nice I suppose. Of course I have to moan that they say "Flash McQueen" on the English version... :roll:
We've got the Buzz Lightyear one saved in Our Favourites from last years launch.
http://www.helpbuzz.com/flash/UK/main.p ... UK&pays=UK (http://www.helpbuzz.com/flash/UK/main.php?lang=UK&pays=UK)
They're not GREAT!!, but their fun n littlun liked playing the Buzz one right up until we went to DLRP last year. He's just started to want to play it again as we begin planning our trip this year. Keeps us in the mood :D so I'll just add Cars n Crush to our favourites :D
By the way-I did really badly on the Cars one :roll: :lol: pitiful![/b]
:D The 15th Anniversary Celebrations were everything I dreamed they would be and more! :lol: I'm wishing I could go back now before it's over.
Quote from: "Masamune":D The 15th Anniversary Celebrations were everything I dreamed they would be and more! :lol: I'm wishing I could go back now before it's over.
I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time! Mind you, what did you expect? IT'S DISNEYLAND! :lol:
Anything that was even better than you thought?
:P I think EVERYTHING was better than what I thought. I mean, everything looked incredible already in all the pictures I looked at before going, but everything looked a million times better in reality! :D The statues are much bigger in real life than what they look on pictures, and the banners are even more vibrant and lovely.
:) And of course, there's the atmosphere. It was the best DLRP atmosphere I've ever experienced. When it came to the Parade, hardly anyone was being ignorant or pushy, and French people were actually asking us if their kids could stand in front rather than just pushing them through. It was like the both Parks and everyone in them were in a joyful mood, and all of that translated into the best DLRP trip I've ever had.
That´s so wonderful to hear masamune that the 15th feeling is also in the heart of the guests!
:D Yeah, it was great. All the Cast Members were lovely (as usual), and although there was a few pushy guests at certain places, no one was overly pushy or rude. :lol: I didn't have to shoot evil looks at anyone this time round, which was nice.
And even on the lasy day when it rained a lot, everyone remained in high spirits. :)
Sounds like DLRP is looking really good at the moment :D It's like everything is in perfect condition!
Is there any pictures of the 15th Anniversary Celebration maps?

Click on the link at the bottom of Baloo's post :wink:
Now I've seen a lot of videos and photos of all the stuff going on at DLP for the anniversary. Thanks to some great People here in the forum and their great website ( most thanks to Baloo and raptor). And I'm so curious to see it all by myself. Everything looked so nice and it's such a pleasure to hear that they're still doing a lot of refurbishments. I guess the resort will look better than ever.
I was just surfing across to TDR, and noticed one of the main features on the Disney.co.jp homepage is currently Disneyland15! They've even got a special feature page all about it, which I've never seen before:
http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/dpj/ja ... RPHomePage (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/dpj/ja_JP/index?name=DLRPHomePage)
Talk about branching into new markets, eh?
Indeed great to see that the Parc "blending" is finally there.
I think it is a good thing to have more of a "All for 1" situation with the parcs.
TV advertising for the 15th Anniversary has started up again in the UK!
The advert now says "The 15th anniversary of Disneyland Resort Paris is in full flow.." and has a new voiceover guy! He's a million times better.
I've also noticed Disneyland15 Halloween advertising on various websites, but for some reason its not on TradeDoubler (DLRP's usual parter, that I use for DLRP Magic, for example) yet.

Is this the one that mainly advertises kids under 7 stey and play for free ?
If so ive saw that many times on channel 4 ! :lol:
I found this in the new Thomas Cook brochure:
Quote.......It's a celebration worth celebrating even longer so they have extended it for 2008!
Does this mean that it will be on for the whole of 2008? :)
I hope. I would like to know more about it too. But we don't have a Thomas Cook Brochure here. So for how long will they continue celebrating ?

Thanks for the link, but they only mention the 15th celebration there till March 2008.
they should be like the usa disney parks their celebrations last 18 months
QuoteFrom MagicBlog:
16 Years of dreams and magic!
[September 24th, 2007]
Disneyland Resort Paris' next year's theme has finally been revealed and confirmed. The successful 15th Anniversary celebrations will be prolonged until half 2008, in favour of Mickey's 80th anniversary.
All banners and logo's will remain the same, even though by the end of the celebrations, the park will celebrate its 17th anniversary...
I had a feeling they'd extend it! I'm really pleased, because I'm going on 31st March next year, and was worried that I'd be seeing cranes removing decorations, etc... :)
I so glad the 15th Anniversary decorations are staying for longer :D Now I should be able to go next year and they'll still be there :D
Wow! This is the best news ever!
I wonder is Disney suspected this much positve response from the public? Everyone I know who has gone with the 15th theme has loved it even more, and has said Disney looks even more beautiful than ever!
Is it running until March 2009 now or will it end half way through 2008 (like at the end of summer or something like that)?
If its like the states, they run the celebrations for 18 months. Begining early summer of the first year, ending late summer/autum of the next year. This would make more sense that a whole two years running into 2009!
It would stop in time for Halloween and Christmas 2008. But I dont know, just using the USA as example
I really , really hope it is extended till september 2008 and not till april 2009!
By the end of 2008 it's time for something else. I heard they don't even promote the Tower of Terror big because of this extension.
Tower of Terror will be promoted big, but for March, not December/January.
How come the Tower will be promoted for March? Isnt it opening in Jan ?
No, as mentioned in the Tower of Terror topic, the official opening will be in March. December / january will be the soft opening period.
There is a new advert for the extension of the 15th anniversary and TOT, Stitch, and HSM:
:arrow: http://www.nightshift.fr/projet/60/98/disney-big-time (http://www.nightshift.fr/projet/60/98/disney-big-time)
Pretty cool don't you think :D
Cool advert, I like it very much. It makes me want go back to DLP.
The weirdest advert ever...
As I expected, the "Happy Days" song just comes across far too cheap and even slightly slow and boring (somehow...), and I'm not really sure where the advert begins or ends - it kinda stops halfway through at one point.
The actual filming is amazing though, the resort looks beautiful. Just put together so so randomly. Erg, I don't know what to say. I hope its "tightened up" a bit - it's neither good/powerful enough for an extended website trailer or compact enough to be shown on TV. Weird.
Looks like it's due for release over New Year anyway... :?
needs cleaning up yes.
The stuff they have is good, just needs putting together better.
Oh and get rid of some of the title scenes, they are boring to say the least.
It's the trailer for the Jungle Book dvd's in October. :wink:
Quote from: "raptor1982"It's the trailer for the Jungle Book dvd's in October. :wink:
Ah, not so bad then... Hopefully everyone will skip over it. :P
I thought it was good! Its different. Kinda feels like two adverts however, a short one, then restarts for an extended one..
I thought the ad was kind of wierd... :? It was badly put together.
Ahh now I see where this company got the contract - they produced the "Behind the scenes" and "Cast Members" preview videos for the 15th:
http://www.nightshift.fr/projet/60/29/disneycast-member (http://www.nightshift.fr/projet/60/29/disneycast-member) Which were rather nice.
I watched the trailer again, thought I'd give it a second chance... it's like a bad Disney Channel music video with reeeeally slow cuts, and the guy in the pink shirt is incredibly annoying for some reason.
The song is completely horrible, couldn't they have used their own "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah... my oh my, what a wonderful day"? Unless I missed something and Sister Act 3: Back to the Studios is returning to WDS. :lol: :lol:

I agree totally, that man. Ekkkkk :evil: There just something about him :lol:
The White logo things init looks ok, not the best. But the song, is it even disney ? :P
yeah he was werid.
I dunno i'm warming up to the ad.
Look at their Publicite, they have some major french firms with them Quick, McDonalds, Lorel.
Is that really true that they will extend the 15 (!)th anniversary celebration until half of 2008 or even March 2009?!? :shock:
Let me be the only one, but how dumb is this?! I mean I love the celebration so much with all its shows and decorations. But when they extend it, it's no more special anymore :(!
When they do this, what will await us for the 20th - 3 years of celebration?! :?
Don't they want to celebrate Mickey's 80th birthday, didn't some of you mention something like that in here? :(
Quote from: "Baloo"As I expected, the "Happy Days" song just comes across far too cheap and even slightly slow and boring (somehow...), .
I thought you meant the theme tune from Happy Days the TV programme (the one with the Fonz) and now I've got it stuck in my head!
I totally agree that Happy Day is far too slow in the advert. It has no energy to it - Happy Days may have been a better choice.
Does the fact that they show HSM on Tour mean that will also be extended? I had heard it was extended til around now but thought that was the end of it. DD will be thrilled if we can see it at Christmas although I suppose it will be too cold to do outside shows then.
Quote from: "Grumpphil"I totally agree that Happy Day is far too slow in the advert. It has no energy to it - Happy Days may have been a better choice.
Hahaha! But I think you're actually right, the TV Happy Days theme would have worked better. Still a very strange choice, but better than making out the extended 15th to be an event on the scale of "When Jesus washed my sins away" (as the Oh Happy Day song goes...) :?

Not at Christmas I'm afraid, it runs until 14th October (as mentioned in the HSM topic) but will return sometime next year, possibly/probably as early as April.
@ Nala_84 - Heh, I wouldn't call it dumb! This has been their most successful campaign ever (well, possibly aside from Space Mountain). So far we only know it'll run until the end of Summer 2008, the end date hasn't been confirmed. Stitch and the Tower should keep things fresh next year.
I guess we have to realise that not everyone visits DLRP as often as many of us do, so for them it's a great chance to see the 15th again or for the first time.
March 2009
QuoteThe show must go on...What do you mean I don't have the physique, charisma, or voice of Freddie Mercury. Frankly, you've got no imagination!
But I've just found out, thanks to my Mickey ears, that the 15th birthday celebrations are going on until March 2009 !!!
Why stop next March after all?
Why stop when there's still so much to see (or see again), to share and discover?
And so it goes on, we all hoped and prayed for it, and Disneyland Resort Paris has done it!
In the name of Winnie, Ariel and Saint Goofy ...Thank you!
And so, Candleabration will continue until March 2009. And the little train with Disney characters too. The Tower of Terror is arriving... at last!
And there'll be a host of new events too, with Stitch in the headlines in March... in short, there are a lot of good times ahead!
And so I say long live Freddie Mercury! ;-)

So if we're missing out on Christmas or Halloween with a 15th style this year... there's always next year.
I knew it was continuing next year but not through till March 09'
March 2009??! Phew. :lol:
I'm not bored of the 15th yet though, keep it rolling... :)
Be interesting to see how they pad out the final few months of the celebration, after next Christmas season when ToT will be one year old... Maybe Stars and Motor Cars or Playhouse Disney by then?
That's so lame to continue the 15 th celebration til 2009 (the park will be 17 this year!!!). Even DLR did'nt stretch their 50TH ANNIVERSARY that long. And they cancelled the 80th birthday of Mickey Mouse for that... LAME.
I must admit that it is a bit cheesy that they are extending it for a whole year until the 17th, but it is quite possibly the best ever marketing campaign and attendance levels that we have ever seen.
LONG LIVE THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY :D
well with it carrying on so long alot of people will rememeber the 15th birthday ! so has to be a good thing !:D and im sure with extending it they will top the amount of visitors they have had :D
Kinoo, trust me on this one, I've seen concept art for the Year of Mickey Mouse... :sick:
I think it has been a wonderful campaign and it has tempted me to book next Easter which I wouldn't have done unless they were doing the 15 Anniversary "kids go free!", so I suppose it has done the trick increasing attendance. I do think it is a bit strange that they would extend it to their 17th year, what will they do for the 20th?! :?
I have loved the new rides, party atmosphere and new parade which has been fantastic, WE LOVE DISNEY :D/
Quote from: "raptor1982"I've seen concept art for the Year of Mickey Mouse
Continue..... :wink:
well soon as january hits i will be booking for halloween ! hopefully 30th october to 1st november we have seen the back end of halloween before but never done halloween so im excited about that :D
i'll possibly book for next christmas, can't go this one
I like it that they continue celebrating till March 2009. This campaign and the whole celebration got more attendence for DLP then other campaigns did. So it's good to keep it going for another year. And I can celebrate Christmas with the 15th stuff then. :wink: :lol:

Totally my opinion!! :) That doesn't make any sense, celebrating its 17th birthday with 15-banners :roll:
Why can't they change the campaign by celebrating Mickey's birthday instead?!

According to Raptor, it may be a good thing that we don't :wink: :

If u have not visited the Disneyland Resort yet, this is the right time to go. They have done such a wonderfull job on this one. It's a magical dream come true
How long is the year of a million dreams going on for as well.. It seems never ending.. You could not walk about DL CA last week without being given lanyards or special fastpasses which was rather ironic as all the FP machines were turned off it was so quite.
Is that true that the 15 anniversary is going til nov 08??

No THATS what I call a CELLEBRATION :shock:
15th Anniversary is back on TV here since the start of the week, advertising Kids Under 12 Free from January to March as well as the new Eurostar line (the animation of St Pancras is weird, couldn't Eurostar give them any real footage?)
Here it is:
http://www.visit4info.com/preview-flash ... adid=54455 (http://www.visit4info.com/preview-flash.cfm?vm=0&type=3&adid=54455)
The voiceover is much, much better than the original 15th ads (where he was really dull), and "don't wait until it's too late" is good line to add in.
Only bad thing - "travel direct to the park". You have two! ](*,) :wink:
I thought I'd bring this topic back from the dead so that we could all say a final good bye to the Fantastic 15th Anniversary Celebrations that we've had over the past few years, and end tonight. I would lying if I didn't say that this has been one of the best things that DLRP has ever done. It'll be a shame to see some of these things go; so thank you for the last two amazing years of magic, excitement and happiness; the 15th celebrations will truely go down in Disney history. =D> :mrgreen:
On a side note, it's quite interesting to read some of the posts from the start of this topic, just to see how it all began :)
=D> =D> =D> Au Revoir 15! =D> =D> =D>
I totally agree. The 15th was on-par with the install of Space Mountain.
The decorations were classy and the entertainment was great.
The last 2 years have been very big for the resort.
We have only been once at DLRP during 15th birthday celebration, but it was the best visit to DLRP ever.
DLRP did a very good job to celebrate the 15th birthday. The parks looked really great, especially DLP with the Main Street Banners and the Castle Decoration.
A new parade and new attractions made Disneylands birthday something special, too.
Hopefully Disney will do such a great celebration for the 20th birthday again.
I really enjoyed my visit during the 15th. It was possibly the best time to be there. The entertainment were fab. and the whole concept was great. i'm actually going to miss it. but maybe they'll try it again for thei 20th :)
