219: Here's The Thing

Dedicated to DLP Podcast – Episode 219 Show Notes

Hosted by your favorite Disneyland Paris over-analyzers: Beth (professional hype-woman) & Marq (professional skeptic).

In This Episode:

Vanessa's Mysterious Absence
Our co-host Vanessa is busy converting the masses to Disney fandom—one Pilates class at a time. Beth demands proof, and Marq delivers with an audio clip of Vanessa leading a Mickey-approved workout. Truly, she's doing Walt's work.

"A Million Splashes of Colour" Returns in 2026

Dust off your neon fanny packs! The parade/show hybrid is back, now with more French-speaking characters (except Mickey, who's stubbornly Anglophone).

The Thing Meet & Greet = Chaos

DLP learned the hard way that dropping a superhero into a crowd without a queue is like offering free Doritos in Frontierland. Spoiler: It got clobberin' time levels of messy.

Gazebo Garden's Very British Makeover
As Walt Disney Studios Park transforms into Disney Adventure World,Disneyland Paris is sprinkling some very British whimsy into the new Gazebo Garden, and the Imagineers have clearly been taking notes from classic literature. The scenes include a bear wearing a shirt... but no trousers and some dogs running an unlicensed foster care center. The authorities have been contacted.

Listener Mail: Your Questions, Our (Strong) Opinions

• Cara asks: Can you ditch your bags at Newport Bay and sprint to Versailles? (Spoiler: Yes, but maybe wear some Air Jordans!))

• Tiffany shares her epic April 2025 trip report—3.5 park days, 7 people, and one toddler. What could go wrong?

🔥 Beth & Marq's Hot Takes

• Marq: "The Thing meet-and-greet was like Hunger Games: Avengers Campus."

• Beth: "Gazebo Garden is basically Pride & Prejudice with more pantless bears."

• Both: "If you skip Agrabah Café, we will find out."
