Disney Dream Girls 152 - Beautiful Belle and DLP Sparkling Ceremony

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls podcast for show number 152 for Saturday 2nd April 2017. As always, if you wish to listen to the podcast, whilst reading this blog, all you have to do is click on the audio player below.

 
Coming up on this show, we have two fun features for you and our first is a comparision between the live action Beauty and the Beast and the animation. Whilst we do mention the plot, to be fair we don't really spoil anything for you, especially if you haven't as yet seen the new movie. 

We just look at the so called 'plot holes' of the original and how Disney have strived to fill these gaps in the new movie. 

Then, Michelle is joined by Mitchell (I can't tell you his surname as, like Madonna, he does not have one!) to talk about Disneyland Paris and their 25th Time to Sparkle promotion - which opened last weekend. 

Mitchell was incredibly fortunate to visit the park for the day and experience what was on offer. From the opening welcome, to the new stage shows, a new nightly spectacular and the celebratory costumes for in park meet and greets. He saw it all and he enthusiastically tells us all about it!

Sadly, with all the excitement - we missed off his review of the new parade! Not to worry, he will be back after his trip later this month for more tales from Disneyland Paris. However, he did very kindly shared a much prized picture with us (and alas it is not Max!).

Disney Dream Girls 131 - Positively Full of Disney

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, show number 131, for Sunday 30th October 2016. As always, if you wish to listen now, whilst looking at these pictures, click on the player below.

 
Amongst our Disney musings on this weeks show, we include a look ahead to the 25th celebrations that Disney are planning for Disneyland Paris. They have tag lined the year as 'Time to Sparkle' and we can't wait to see some of the upcoming shows and events. Plus it will also see an end to the ride refurbishments that DLP attendees have been tolerating recently, as management get the park ready for the celebrations.

As it is a Halloween show, we have a murder mystery for you also! Do you know the mystery surrounding the deaths of the Dread family at Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion? Well you will certainly want to listen to find out!

We also have a mini review, from Michelle, of the concert she attended at the Royal Albert Hall  - entitled Disney's Broadway Hits. This was a sensational evening of musical entertainment with stars of the shows performing along with the BBC Concert Orchestra. The cherry on the cake was an appearance by Alan Menken himself!

If you wish to hear some of the recordings, you can click on this link. But we believe it will be televised sometime around December 2016.

Michelle's Copy of the Kimberley's Book

Then we move on our main feature, and we were luckily introduced to the author Kimberley Bouchard by our amazing friend (and listener) Becky Manion. Kimberley has written a book containing an wonderful array of stories showcasing the impact that Disney has had on peoples lives. From guests to cast members, she retells their powerful and heartwarming stories.  Fortunately for us, she shares one or two of them with us for you to enjoy. But it doesn't end there, she is currently writing the second book, in the series, with further fabulous stories. The book is available in a multitude of places, but we have included the link to Amazon if you wish to buy it. 

Both of us agree it would make a fabulous gift for any Disney loving fan. Click this link to buy Positively Disney: Heartwarming Stories about Disney's Impact on People's Lives by Kimberley Bouchard from Amazon.
