Marvel Super Heroes Coming to Disneyland Paris Summer 2018

New details have been released about a special new event coming to Disneyland Paris where you can marvel over the spectacular superheroes sights. Marvel Super Heroes are coming to Disneyland Paris in the summer 2018 from June 10 to September 30.

Just a few weeks after the cinema release of the highly anticipated AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, the Marvel Super Heroes will be creating even more buzz by assembling at Disneyland Paris for the very first time! Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Star-Lord, Gamora and Spider-Man will all be at Walt Disney Studios Park for a unique season of events, boasting shows and interactive experiences of truly epic proportions. And you’ll have the chance to join them and be part of the adventure.

The Marvel universe is coming to life at Walt Disney Studios Park for more than three months. Imagine if you had the power to dive right into your favourite films and comics… Well, this summer, you can! You’ll have the chance to have a dance-off with the Guardians of the Galaxy, watch the ruthless Loki try to seize power, meet Captain America and be awed by an amazing show that features Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and many more!

Here whats in store for those who chose to embark on this epic adventure:

Marvel: Super Heroes United

Marvel: Super Heroes United is a truly immense show at the Studio Theater in the heart of Walt Disney Studios Park. The programme for this superproduction includes live-action on-stage antics with Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Spider-Man – to name just a few! It also features cutting-edge special effects that will bring the Incredible Hulk and the fearsome Thanos to life before your very eyes – a first for Disneyland Paris. You’ll also be treated to spectacular projections and a whole host of other big surprises. One thing’s for certain – you’ll experience an epic adventure like no other.

Here’s the story: “Thanos has found a way of manipulating the Avengers and their allies in order to destroy them. Will the heroes manage to escape his clutches? You’ll find out in this show that’s packed full of breath-taking twists and turns”.

Marvel: Super Heroes United brings iconic figures from the Marvel universe to the stage with a focus on three themes: origins, duality and unity. This 20-minute show will be performed several times a day at Walt Disney Studios Park.

Stark Expo presents: Energy for Tomorrow!

Tony Stark invites you to the open-air Production Courtyard to present the latest version of his revolutionary invention – an ‘Arc Reactor’ that generates green energy. But look out… It’s exactly the kind of event that a certain Loki loves to interrupt. Thor’s fearsome half-brother will try to use it as an opportunity for a power grab. Let’s hope that Black Widow, Spider-Man and the god of thunder himself are nearby to foil his plans…

Several times a day at the foot of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, you’ll have the opportunity to see this amazing show that’s as action-packed as it is offbeat.

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off

As the name suggests, you’ll have the opportunity for a dance-off with the Guardians of the Galaxy! Music is a key part of the Peter Quill’s character, who’s better known by the name of Star-Lord. His adventures are set to the 70s & 80s tunes of his favourite playlists. And so as you’d expect, he’s making a truly musical entrance – alongside Gamora, the most dangerous woman in the universe. Watch out – they’ll soon find themselves in danger and will have a mission for you. That’s where you come in. Get ready to lend a helping hand to the Guardians of the Galaxy! They’re counting on you to help them – and they promise to get you moving!

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off will take place several times a day in the Production Courtyard and is set to be a truly wild experience!

Heroic Encounter: Captain America

The Marvel Summer of Super Heroes is also giving you the chance for a heroic handshake with the very first Avenger: Captain America. Steve Rogers himself will be at Walt Disney Studios Park to share an epic experience with you – one you’ll want to capture forever in a photo. It’s the perfect opportunity to show your friends and social media followers that you’ve met the leader of the Avengers!

Exclusive merchandise at Disneyland Paris!
The Marvel Summer of Super Heroes will also be your opportunity to discover a range of Marvel products exclusive to Disneyland Paris! A unique range of souvenir and lifestyle merchandise – including Marvel hero headbands – have been developed for the special occasion!

You don’t want to miss this event which promises to be a spectacular conclusion to Disneyland Paris’s 25th Anniversary celebrations. Are YOU ready for the Marvel Summer of Super Heroes?

6 Things You Should NOT Take in the Parks

Disney is pretty accommodating to guest needs and requests, but there are some things that just aren’t allowed to be brought into the parks, for good reason. Guest safety is of the utmost importance to Disney, and should be given the same level of importance for the rest of us. It only takes one bad decision cause an injury or severe situation. With so many people in the parks, we all have a responsibility to understand the rules, and particularly the items that should never be brought to a Disney park. Here are 6 items that Disney won’t allow into the parks and you should just leave at home!

1. Weapons:

Anything that should be considered a weapon is an obvious bad idea. No guns, knives, mace, etc. This one is probably pretty obvious and goes without saying, but to err on the side of caution and safety, we still have to say it. There is no need to have these items at a Disney Park and fortunately for the rest of us, security will not allow you to enter with the items. If you try, you are likely to be pulled aside and asked a series of questions, too.

2. Skateboards, Wagons, Skates, Shoes w/ Built-in Wheels:

I am quite thankful for this rule. I can only imagine the inattentive youngsters that would be wheeling all over and collide with different guests and small children who are trying to move about the parks. The cast members will stop any guest who tries to break this rule, and if easily detectible, these items won’t be allowed through security. The only things on wheels that are allowed are strollers, wheel chairs and motorized wheel chairs. Depending on the driver, these can be dangerous enough!

3. Folding Chairs:

I know it is tempting to bring camp chairs to sit and wait for parades and fireworks instead of standing or finding a seat along the sidewalk, but this just isn’t allowed. If the walkways were filled with chairs, this would present safety hazards for everyone. There would be more potential to trip, traffic is blocked more, they would take up space otherwise needed for strollers while the owner is on a ride, etc. There are many reasons why this is a bad idea, so just don’t do it!

4. Pets:

Service pets are allowed into the parks, but personal pets are not. Don’t think you will be able to get by with bringing a small dog or pet in a bag or another kind of portable transport. Cast members are watching for any signs of unauthorized animals and will ask you to leave the park.

5. Glass Containers:

This rule does exclude baby food, as well as perfume (since you can purchase this at Epcot). Glass has the high potential to break and create dangerous situations for yourself and other guests. You will want to ensure that any items you bring into the park are not made of glass. Security will inspect for this upon entry into the park and will not let you in with the items.

6. Large Coolers:

According to Disney’s website, coolers larger than 24″ (61 cm) long x 15″ (38 cm) wide x 18″ (46 cm) high for coolers with or without wheels, are not permitted inside the parks. These same dimensions and rules also apply to suitcases, backpacks or any other bag that you may try to bring in. Remember that coolers and bags smaller than this will still be inspected before you are allowed to enter the park, so make sure that you follow inspection protocols.

The good news is that you shouldn’t need most of these items to have a great day at Disney! Disney has these rules in place so that we can ensure that the parks stay a safe environment for everyone. If you question if something is acceptable to bring to the parks, it is likely not, but always feel free to ask a cast member, especially security or guest relations.

Parents Paypal Password Poached, Daughter Books Disneyland Dream Trip

A father was shocked to discover his nine-year-old daughter had guessed the password to his PayPal account in the middle of the night while everyone slept. before blowing £1,000 of his money on a dream trip for one to Disneyland Paris.
The 53 year-old-father, Ian Wilson, was fast asleep when Susan nabbed his mobile and went on a magical midnight money spree.

The schoolgirl spent £400 on flights and a hotel gift card, £214.08 on a VIP trip up the Eiffel Tower and £381.84 on theme park tickets and the Disneyland Express train due to depart the next day.

Mr Wilson, a welding inspector who lives with partner Tracey, 52, son Anthony, 12 and daughter Marie, 10, in Immingham, Lincolnshire, only realised what had happened three days later on October 27 when he noticed £1005.92 had been drained from his account.

He told MailOnline:

‘My immediate thought was that it was fraud so I phoned PayPal who told me the the payments had been made from a device they deemed normal for me and did not consider it to be fraud.’

That’s when he went through his phone history and found all these websites in the internet history. He asked Susan and she said it was her.

‘She was absolutely brokenhearted and very remorseful. She had no idea what she was doing, I could not even punish her for it.’

The tour was booked through Getyourguide, a German-based website while the flights and hotel were booked with budget airline Bravofly. Susan, who usually spends her holidays in Skegness, says she has no idea how she managed to book the trip and said she just likes playing on her father’s phone.

She does not even know what the Eiffel Tower is, she claimed. As soon as he realised what had happened Mr Wilson phoned Yorkshire Bank, Paypal and the travel companies in a bid to get his money back – but claims they refused to refund the cash after saying no fraud had been committed. But PayPal eventually refunded the money to an ‘elated’ Mr Wilson, who was told it was classified as ‘friendly fraud’ and happens frequently.

Now Mr Wilson is urging other parents parents to ensure their children do not have access to their internet devices as he now has a pin on his phone and says you should too. Though it would have made a much happier ending if they all laughed it off and went on the trip anyway.
