I also want to share a link to the charity single Disney recently released to raise money for long term partner, the Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital in London. I'm sure you will all agree, an awesome cause.

'Disney's Once Upon A Dream'. Disneyland Resort Paris.

Managed to return to the Disneyland Resort Paris for the first time in 8 years recently. As you are no doubt aware, it's come in for it's fair share of criticism over the years. Despite turning an annual profit of $15m. It is also by some considerable distance the most popular tourist attraction in Europe.

It also has some pretty well co-ordinated parades. I managed to get a few snippets. Including a video of the opening of the 'Disney Dance Express' (before my camera sadly quit on me :( ).

It's perhaps not as coherent as some of it's transatlantic counterparts, and the constant switching between French and English in simulataneous dialogue during songs is somewhat tedious. But on the flip side the parades seem well rehearsed, imaginative, and well... Fun!!

The Disney Dance express is a lot of fun. It is modelled on the 'Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it!' parade that premiered at Magic Kingdom in the 'Celebrate' themed year. Not as hands on as MiSiCi, but still a lot of fun and definitely worth a peek.

Below is a link to my Flickr account, where you will be able to see some snaps from the 'Once Upon a Dream' Parade:

The newly designed interactive meet and greet set can be found just outside the exit to the Muppet Vision 3D attraction. The set director takes guests out from the line and makes them part of the production.

The set feaures only Phineas and Ferb, and is currently operating at intervals throughout the day

Here's a You Tube video previewing the latest video game release from Disney Interactive Studios. It is currently in development for both PS3 and Xbox360.

I like the look of this title, it looks quirky, something of a variatin from previous DIS releases.

The description says the players will get to suit up as a variety of classic Disney characters from Walt Disney Studios and Disney Pixar films, and is due for release later this year. Watch this space.

Preparations!

Preparations are well under way for my next adventure with the Walt Disney Company! Just last month I was offered the opportunity to return to the company as a youth activity counselor with the Disney Cruise Line!

This blog is a pretty awesome way of logging my adventures with the company, and I am pretty excited to share these with you!

Next stop, the United States Embassy in London...
