In this episode of Arcades & Avenues, Ash and Holly are back with the latest Disneyland Paris news, updates and commentary! 🏰✨

The Halloween season has officially arrived at Disneyland Paris, so we're talking about the new Halloween decorations, the changing atmosphere around the parks and everything happening across the resort.

We also take a closer look at the new Disney Wonders shop at Disneyland Paris, discussing the merchandise, the concept behind the shop and our thoughts on this latest addition to the resort. We get into the wider world of Disney merchandise too, including blind bags, Disney pins and the ever-changing selection of souvenirs available at Disneyland Paris.

Alongside the latest Disneyland Paris updates, we chat about recent films and stand-up comedy, changes to park offerings and merchandise, character interactions and how the overall Disneyland Paris experience continues to evolve.

🎟️ Are Disneyland Paris Annual Pass Parties worth it?

The big discussion of this episode is the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass Party.

Holly and Ash share their honest experiences of attending the event, including the organisation, waiting around, accessibility, entertainment and the overall experience for Annual Passholders.

We discuss whether the event actually delivers enough exclusive experiences and perks to justify the cost of an Annual Pass, as well as the character representation, sponsorships and what we would like to see from future Annual Passholder events at Disneyland Paris.

Are Annual Pass Parties worth it? Does the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass offer enough value for regular visitors? And what could Disneyland Paris do differently to make Annual Passholder events feel more special and exclusive?

Whether you're a Disneyland Paris Annual Passholder, a Disney adult, planning a Disneyland Paris holiday or simply love keeping up with the latest Disneyland Paris news, this episode is full of honest opinions, Disney park commentary and discussion about the latest changes at the resort.
