The speculation is it will be a similar system as the disneysea Peter Pan ride

Is there a video for it? I tried looking but it all seemed like models and stuff. Expansion looks awesome tho.

 

[Kerr84]

Am I being hopeful or does this sound similar to the Guardians roller coaster in WDW? Maybe a mix between that one and RoTR??

When I first read that description, it made me think of the ride through Hogwarts at Universal, but I don’t actually think it will be like that.

With rates starting at 850 euro a night for low season... Yeah, this is definitely out of my budget. Although I am not surprised. I do wonder if they can fill it every night for this price.

I am surprised that they will have 2 character meals, one with the royal couples and one with Mickey and Minnie.

For young Guests, the Disneyland Hotel will feature a new “Royal Kids Club” which will feature an “interactive library” with virtual reality experiences. The hotel will also host a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and character experiences:

Today there seems to be no top-end though - people waited for FOUR HOURS to get a picture with Figment. I know that's a lot of first day excitement, but I can't imagine spending four hours of my park time doing that!

Blame the Internet!

No, but seriously, now that we all carry around super computers all day everyday, killing 4 hours with dumb phone games, videos, podcasts, etc isn't nearly as excruciating as a 4 hour line used to be.

Side note: ONLY Disneyland Hotel guests can do dinner at these restaurants. If you are staying off site or at a different DLP Hotel, you can only book for lunch.

That is very steep. Maybe there'll be promotions sometimes that will bring it down some. I would like to have at least a night or two there to check it off my list! Perhaps someday a big anniversary or birthday will warrant a splurge

Before the closure I could get a room in low season for 450 euro a night. And that was without any AP discount.

Now that un the new program there are no longer Hotel discounts... I do not think AP holders will stay here.

We'll see how long that lasts. Once it's not so new and shiny there will probably be promotions from time to time. This and Newport are the only ones I haven't stayed in yet, but I can wait

 

[Gusey]

They're doing the same thing as what they did with New York/Marvel where you stay includes exclusive character encounters. Art of Marvel's prices haven't really gone back down to what they were before yet

I might be willing to pay that price just to get two queen sized beds in a room in Paris!
