On this week's show we have some 'On this day in Disney history', some Disney news and we end out talking about some of the amazing character dining experience that are currently available.

Walt Disney World has announced the return of park hopping from the New Year. Guests will still need to reserve their first park of choice for the day but from 2pm will be allowed to 'hop' elsewhere, providing that attendance limits can still be met.

The festive season will see mini firework shows happening at the Magic Kingdom and while these won't be the big spectaculars we are used to seeing, it will be great to see a little of something 'normal' happening.

Food at Tomorrowland Terrace

New eateries are opening - or should we say re-opening. Both The Crystal Palace and The Tomorrowland Terrace are set to bring forth additional food options whilst at the Magic Kingdom. What do you fancy on the menu?

Next, the girls tackle a listener question about the best options available at the moment for a character meal. While there are a number of options available, it must be remembered that while characters will be around all physical distancing of characters to guests will still take place.

Cinderella Royal Table

Options include Cinderella's Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood & Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios with Minnie Mouse and Mickey & Minnie at Topolino's Terrace over at Disney's Riviera Resort. Where has been you favourite place for a character meal?

The good news is that Chef Mickey's over at the Contemporary Resort is set to resume it's character breakfast from December 16th December. This is a great chance to see Mickey and his pals while enjoying traditional breakfast options such as waffles, pancakes or banana bread french toast.

Disneyland Paris Trip Review

On this show, we discuss three fun news items and then Michelle reviews her trip to Disneyland Paris.

My Shortened Trip Review!

Food
Disneyland Paris has some hidden gems that you really have to try. On this trip, I ate at Chez Remy. In my opinion this is a great place for a delicious steak meal: served with the house speciality - ratatouille. However, due to a fire alarm, I was unable to eat my whole meal, however I will be back in 2017 to eat there again!
 

Complementary Cocktail for Annual Pass Holders

For counter service, I really was surprised by the food within Videopolis at Cafe Hyperion. It is themed to Star Wars and the burger quality was really good (total surprise) and the cupcake was a delicious chocolate rich treat.

Character Meets
Disneyland Paris is a great place to meet characters. During my trip I met a range of characters. As it was a few days prior to Halloween, there were a lot of villains to meet and I was impressed that I didn't need to buy an dining package or special event ticket either.

General Information 
The park does get some incredible theming upgrades for the different seasons. My favourite was this thorny dragon: Maleficient had her meet and greet by this.

Whilst this trip was definately memorable, it was not without its issues. Having a knee injury, I had to use a wheelchair but on the whole, I found the park to be wheelchair friendly.
