Review of Walt Disney Studios Park

I'm Ready For My Close-Up, Mr Director

Advantages: movies, rides
Disadvantages: not as good as MGM Studios on Orlando

...the parks. I was getting excited. It was my first time in the new Walt Disney Studios Park. I had been to Disneyland Park 18 months earlier and wanted to go there again after I had experienced the new park. I had been to Disney's MGM Studios in Florida so expected more of the same. And please keep in mind one thing while you are reading this, I went at the end of January. And it is about Walt Disney Studios only. Crowds? ?. What crowds???? The place was deserted. So here it goes. You are walking through the main entrance gates onto the 'Front Lot' area. Here you will find the usual information booth, toilets, pushchair rental, lost and found, etc. You then walk into 'Studio 1', shopping on your left, big fast food outlet on the right. Here you will find Disney cast members pretend they are filming a movie or live music. Coming...

Review of Walt Disney Studios Park

Right Next Door to Disney

Advantages: Grown-Up's Disney?
Disadvantages: Ahh the price as always and the limited Kids activities besides

...Walt Disney Studios is situated next door to Disneyland Paris. As with Disneyland, you enter through a security tent manned by a handful of security staff that "pretend" to search your bag as you pass through. You then take a minute's walk to the entrance of Walt Disney Studios (which I must say is a little unclear - I wasn't convinced it was the entrance until I got right up close) and put your ticket into the entrance stall to pass through the turnstiles. If you're in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller, you pass your ticket to one of the attendants situated in the booths between the turnstiles and they'll swipe your ticket then let you pass through the booth. If you haven't bought a ticket in advance, you can do so from one of four ticket booths situated just off to the side of the entrance turnstiles. Expect to pay a Disneyland...

Review of Walt Disney Studios Park

Cool hand Walt

Advantages: You'll know why
Disadvantages: You might not care (but I doubt it)

...Just finished reading this and I thought to pen a few words before the memory fades (it’s an age thing, if I remember correctly). Julian Rathbone has excelled himself with this novel of the life and times of Harold, the last English King. Told through the eyes of Walt Edwinson, a housecarl (professional soldier) present at the battle of Hastings and deeply scarred, both physically and mentally by the experience, the book follows him on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem between 1067 and 1070. Along the way he encounters Quint, a scholar of the human condition and an observer of life. Quint takes Walt under his wing and they journey together across Asia Minor towards Jerusalem. It is Quint’s intention to continue on along the Silk Road and eventually up into Cathay (China). At their first meeting Walt is destitute...

Review of The Last English King - Julian Rathbone

Excellent!

Advantages: Fun, different and lots to do!
Disadvantages: Busy at certain times!

...Walt studios in Disneyland Paris is the smaller of the two parks. The studios is to the left hand side of the main area outside the main area if you are facing the main park gates. Once you go through the main ticket turnstyle there is a big open area where the disney characters will be when they are around for photos. To enter intothe main park you then go through first into the inside section where you can get some food and also buy disney goodies from the shops. This are has lots of film gear and the ceiling is lit up with stars. Once you come out of this area you will enter where all the main rides and attractions are. There is various parts around the park too where the disney characters will be again so that you can get a photo with them and the Walt Studios. Also during the day the studios have a parade whcih if you collect...

Review of Walt Disney Studios Park

Walts Favourite

Advantages: Great Disney Classic Lovingly restored
Disadvantages: Box could have been better

...Note: This was originally my 1st review, I wasn't really happy with it so have decided to re-write it. Hopefully it will be a lot better now. My husband bought me this for Valentines Day; I'd loved the film as a kid and thought it was a great present. This is the first time that this particular Disney film has appeared on DVD and in order to release it, it has been lovingly restored and picture quality excellent. The artwork is excellent it's a shame they don't make them like this anymore. I saw it when I was little, but it was better than I remembered. I must say I fell in love with it all over again. Bambi was first shown in Cinemas in 1942, but work on the film originally started in 1936. Acknowledged by Walt Disney himself as his favourite film. The film was aging and needed to be restored before transferring it to DVD, if...

Review of Bambi (DVD)

Plan, plan and plan

Advantages: Makes planning for your trip easier
Disadvantages: None

...of information. I really do believe this book has helped us plan and although I have yet to find out if certain aspects of it will work I am seeing the benefits already! Written by Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa this book is produced every year so that it can provide an updated guide to help travellers. This is now in its 23rd year of production which is testament really to how popular it is! The book: The guide is technically a huge paperback that contains information on anything and everything related to Walt Disney world. It also covers the areas that are not Disney owned such as Universal which is obviously slightly misleading judging by the title as I originally bought the one I did because I thought it covered all areas where as this one didn't! Of course my friend found this out after reading the contents page and this was why she...

Review of The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World - Bob Sehlinger

THE ULTIMATE DISNEY EXPERIENCE

Advantages: You think you know DisneyWorld? Look for Imagineers, Reedy Creek, Facilities Way, Utilidors
Disadvantages: Ever popular, poorly advertised, there may be a waiting list

...a personalised name badge and were invited to introduce ourselves to our fellow travellers. We were a party of nineteen and our guide for the day was Nancy. For the next seven and a half hours we were going to experience the Backstage Magic of Walt DisneyWorld. EMBARCATION We were a varied bunch - mostly American (there was Phil and his wife from Tucson Arizona and a family from upstate New York) although we represented the UK and there was a mother and daughter on vacation from Israel - but we all shared a passion for Disney and a hunger for more information and the hidden secrets. We were shepherded past the ordinary queues and into the park. Part way up the slope to the right hand side of Spaceship Earth we were guided to a quiet corner by a high fence. Here Nancy took the opportunity to tell us what to expect during our tour. Disney...

Review of Walt Disney World Backstage Magic

Unoffical guide to Walt Disney World

Advantages: Great book, full of useful tips and know how
Disadvantages: 798 pages to pack in a suitcase!!

...The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World As the title suggest this book is written completely independently of the Walt Disney company by a team of professional travel writers. The writing is sharp and to the point and the authors certainly appear to know their subject area very well. The content? The book basically contains every bit of information about WDW that you could possibly need to know, as well as other parts of the Disney empire such as the Disney Cruise line. It begins with starting with planning your journey. The book is split into 17 parts, as follows: Planning before you leave home Making the most of your time and money Selecting your hotel The Disney Cruise Line Walt Disney World with Kids Special tips for special people Arriving and getting around Bare necessities Dining in and around Walt...

Review of Frommer's Unofficial Guide to Disney World - Frommer's

Rock around the coaster!

Advantages: Fun and fast
Disadvantages: Queues can get long especially in height of season

...I went to Disneyland Paris with my husband as part of his birthday celebrations - I wasn?t really sure at the time how much we would both enjoy it as I had not been there since I was in school and back then there was only the one main park and my husband had never been - however I knew there were few coasters to go on and so we were looking forward to these. The one we were probably most looking forward to going on was the Aerosmith Rock and rollercoaster as this seemed to be the one that was rated the highest in terms of being the best coaster there. Which park is it in? The Aerosmith rock and rollercoaster is located in the Walt Disney Studios park and is then located in the ?backlot? area of the park. Fairly easy to find as the Studios park is just next door to the main Disneyland park. What kind of ride is it...
