Did you set a 4:00 AM alarm just to watch corporate announcements live from Anaheim? Beth certainly did! Grab a warm blanket, settle onto the couch, and join us for an unscheduled, emergency episode of Dedicated to DLP as we react to all the DLP-adjacent news from the D23 Horizons Showcase. While Vanessa was away, our brilliant pal Marq joined the hot seat to sort through what was worth the hype and what was just a late-night fever dream ✨ We are skipping the line-by-line news recaps you can find anywhere else on the internet and jumping straight into the deep end: what do these massive announ
Howdy folks! Dust off your boots, tighten your spurs, and knot your bandana in a festive fashion, because you have just stumbled into the wildest episode in the wilderness ! Welcome to Episode 244 of the Dedicated to Disneyland Paris Podcast. We promise you this is one frontier roundup you absolutely do not want to miss. We are galloping straight into the heart of Thunder Mesa this week, and things are getting rowdier than the Red Garter Saloon on a Saturday night. Now, we cannot give away all our gold before you even press play, but let us just say that if you have ever looked at a certain wo
Grab your headphones, buckle up and hit play , because Episode 243 of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast is even more chaotic than usual! 🏰✨ We thought we had a nice, structured, professional script ready to go… and then Marq showed up, hijacked the third mic, and immediately questioned the D2DLP team “Positivity Quotient.” 📈 (Apparently, calling out “disgusting churros” and complaining about feeling like “human sardines” on past episodes means we need an intervention!) Despite Marq pulling out receipts of our past cynicism, the trio managed to wrangle the chaos and dive into some resort news, inc
Grab a fan and an icy drink, because Episode 242 of the Dedicated to DLP Podcast is here and things are seriously heating up! This week, we are coming to you direct from a European summer that has reached the exact temperature of a freshly baked Mickey waffle. It’s so brutal out there that it actually managed to impact a major holiday celebration at the resort—tune in to find out how the heat wave officially put the freeze on the pyro, and why the local ducks are staging a resort pool takeover. But the parks are still sizzling in other ways, specifically in the shopping department. If you are
This week, the D2DLP virtual studio feels like a giant pizza oven, Beth and Vanessa are officially melting and things are getting even more unhinged than usual. While Beth barely maintains her sanity in France with the help of “Olaf” (her tiny, pathetic desk fan) and Vanessa tries to remain a functional human in the German heatwave, the duo is diving into the biggest news affecting the resort right now. We’re talking about the unprecedented heat-related changes at Disneyland Paris, from halted outdoor attractions to fireworks bans and the very serious debate on whether Disney should offer a li
The gang is finally back together! (Wait- can two people be a gang?) Anyway, afterc a brief hiatus, Vanessa has returned to the virtual studio and Beth could not be happier. The listener mail bag has taken over the premises and MUST be dealt with! We are tackling a mountain of your questions, trip concerns, and hilarious park comparisons in this extra-special mail extravaganza. From navigating the busy holiday seasons and mastering park strategies to reciting poems about certain problematic park snacks, we covered it all with (mostly) efficient flair. Whether you’re planning a first-time trip
Vanessa is still off girlbossing at her Pilates studio (engage your cores, people!), so your host Beth is once again flying solo this episode. And honestly? She’s doing ok with it. Except that her medieval faire responsibilities have kept her away from the D2DLP Instagram account, but she’s back with a cozy, chatty, mailbag-filled show just for you. First up, a letter from Aline, who you might remember from her fantastic birthday stay at the Disneyland Hotel. Aline has a big, beautiful idea to share. Then, listener Jonah returns with a trip report that has everything, including a Saint Patrick
After a very dramatic solo opening involving a rogue radio and far too much emotional honesty, Beth realizes she cannot—will not—recap the long-awaited part two of her April trip all by herself. Enter: emergency backup. A brand-new, limited-engagement co-host makes her debut. She has zero podcasting experience, no idea what she agreed to, and a very long Disney history with Beth. Let’s just say they go way back. Like, way back. Together, they finally tackle Day Two of Beth’s April trip—the one listeners have been asking about for weeks. Reservations vanish from phones. Breakfast has a strict t
Vanessa had to girlboss at her Pilates studio this week, so Beth is flying solo—and firing up the extremely questionable Tempus Cheapis 3000 (patent pending). It’s not high-tech, but it gets the job done! Where are we going? We’re heading back to March 2026, to sit down with one of our favorite listeners, Aline. She’s sharing all the details of her fabulous birthday trip, including: The Power of the Bubble: Aline explains why staying on-property at the Disneyland Hotel was a total game-changer for her trip. The “Character Girlie” Transformation: How a former skeptic turned into a dedicated cha
Vanessa saw the ideal version of Disney Adventure World. Beth saw the blooper reel—and somehow, that was even better. This week on the Dedicated to DLP podcast, Beth returns from a trip that involved a 450 page book, one slightly damp poncho, and what felt like a million other people who all had the same brilliant idea. While Vanessa previously experienced the polished, VIP preview of the new World of Frozen and Adventure Bay, Beth went in during the Easter holiday chaos and discovered what it’s actually like when Frozen Ever After hits 120 minutes, Crush goes down half the day, and the Rapunz
