After that, we share a listeners question about dining at Disneyland Paris. 

Cafe Aagrabah

Tracey Farley asked for recommendations of places to eat in Disneyland Paris using the half board dining plan. So our resident DLP expert, Liz Read, suggested some of her favourite places and also advised that post April, breakfasts can also be taken in the hotels.

Then, Jayne checks with Michelle that her August trip reservations at Beaches and Cream would be safe - following the announcement that the soda shop would be closing for a lengthly refurbishment from August to December 2019.

There are bao buns with veggies, chicken or beef and lumpia (which is similar to the offering at Pongu Pongu in WDW).

Coming up on this weeks show, we start with On This Week in Disney History and then Michelle and Jayne chat through some listeners Disney Christmas questions.

For our main feature we take a look at how Christmas is celebrated in all 6 Disney resorts around the world and we share a snippet of music from each. Which is your favourite?

In Disney's California Adventure we find the Buena Vista Street Community Bell Ringers; a very traditional approach to Christmas.

Whilst over at Walt Disney World we take in a stage show from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party called Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration,

Hoping over the pond to Disneyland Paris we have a listen to their Christmas Parade.

Travelling east to Hong Kong Disneyland we get to experience Mickey and Friends Christmastime Ball.

Followed by Christmas Swing at Shanghai Disneyland.

Whilst at Tokyo's Disney Sea we take in a wonderful performance of the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Followed by a very up tempo version of 'White Christmas' as performed in the Tokyo Disneyland Disney Christmas Stories Parade.

But we finish off with Michelle's favourite the Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland.

So which is your favourite? We have some opinions but do you agree with us?

We'd just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and happy New Year. 

Thank you for listening and supporting our show we hope you enjoy coming along for the ride. We're going to have a couple of weeks rest and be back in 2019!
