A new Ratatouille ride will open at Disneyland Paris in 2012.  It will be a dark ride using the same trackless system that Pooh’s Honey Hunt uses in Tokyo Disneyland, which is an incredibly popular ride!  In the new Ratatouille ride, guests will be shrunk to the size of Remy and chased by Chef Skinner and friends throughout the world fans grew to love in the movie Ratatouille.
But that’s not all.  Check out the changes coming to Disneyland Paris:

The new rumor from The Independent says Disneyland Paris chief financial officer, Ignace Lahoud, stated that new hotels are being planned for Disneyland Paris.  There might be some truth to that rumor considering in a press release from Disney dated August 12, 2008, it was announced that Disneyland Paris welcomed its 200 millionth visitor making it the most popular tourist destination in Europe.

I found a video of the new Enchanted fireworks show at Disneyland Paris.  It’s a video taken by a Disney guest, but quality is actually quite good.  You can see just the fireworks (not the other elements of the Enchanted show), but the color and sound are excellent.
Enjoy!

Disney is testing out a new technology where wait times for park attractions will be sent to park guests who have BlueTooth enabled cell phones. Guests will simply have to activate the functionality on their cell phones to get the latest wait times.
Wouldn’t it be great if this technology rolled out to all the Disney parks?

I found a sneak peak teaser video from the new Stitch Live! attraction in Disneyland Paris on the Disneyland Paris 15th Anniversary blog.  As expected, the show is set up using the same technology as Turtle Talk in Epcot’s The Living Seas pavilion at Walt Disney World.  It looks like a cute show.

I discovered a truly amazing post on Disney and More that provides tons of pictures and videos of the opening celebration for the new Tower of Terror ride at Disneyland Paris in Walt Disney Studios. Interspersed with all the awesome Tower of Terror opening coverage are photos from the opening of Stitch Live from the same day.
If you’re like me and couldn’t be at Disneyland Paris for the celebration, then check out the pictures and videos of Tower of Terror in Disneyland Paris from Disney and More. You’ll feel like you were there!
