229: The D2DLP Christmas Special 2025

"The D2DLP Team were alive, to begin with (even though Beth had a pretty bad cold, tbh) Their episode 229 script was signed by Natasha Rafalski, Bob Iger, Ben Spalding and the chief Mouse (as in Mickey)."

OK. Maybe our take on "A Christmas Carol" won't hold up, but the whole, gloriously chaotic D2DLP crew IS BACK—Vanessa, Beth, and Marq— together for a very special festive takeover to send you off into the holidays. Take a minute, grab a mug of something warm, and prepare for an episode packed with seasonal cheer, incredible stories, and a guest appearance that's pure magic.

We're kicking off this Christmas Special with a little help from our friends at Easy Go Shuttle—because even Santa deserves a smooth ride for that last-mile magic delivery.

Then, although we could not get the Ghost of Christmas Present to come on the show, we got the next best thing- fantastic friend of the show Stuart from DLP Tips for Irish. He joins us for a chat that will make every Disney fan's heart glow, sharing tales from a spectacular year of trips to Disneyland Paris. Let's just say if you've ever dreamed of being part of a merry band of Disney lovers, you'll want to hear what he has to say. And for one host in particular, there's some very reassuring news about a certain frontier fort…

Just when you think the festive fun can't get any more fab, a truly unforgettable story arrives, delivered with all the dramatic flair of a Christmas Eve legend. Our wonderful listener, James, shares a tale of holiday travel fortitude (and misfortune) from years gone by. It's a saga involving a cancelled Christmas trip, a very snowy tunnel, and conditions so memorable they've become part of Eurostar's secret history. It's a story of resilience, a stark reminder to always be grateful for smooth journeys, and a testament to the fact that the quest for Disney magic sometimes involves unexpected… adventures.

So, pour that hot chocolate, put your feet up, and join us for this final, heartwarming episode of 2025. It's a celebration of friendship, fantastic listener stories, and the unbreakable spirit of the Disneyland Paris fan community. From all of us to all of you, have a very magical holiday season!

We'll see you in the New, Adventure, World, Year!
