Enjoy an Enchanted Christmas at Disneyland Paris in 2014

WDWNT Author on November 18, 2014

Disneyland Paris is treating guests young and old to a world of winter wonders for the next two months by kicked-off its Enchanted Christmas season.

This Christmas sees Merida, from Disney Pixar’s Brave, appear at the park for the very first time. Similarly, Disney guests will finally be able to meet Anna and Elsa, Frozen‘s royal sisters, in person.

Disneyland Paris is also debuting a new sugar and spice themed parade called Disney’s Christmas Parade during the two month Christmas season (which lasts until January 7th, 2015) and 3 new scenes from Frozen have been added to the nighttime spectacular show Disney Dreams…of Christmas. The Enchanted Christmas season was launched in style by European celebrities and their families who celebrated Christmas at the park about six weeks early!

There’s plenty to look forward to during the season for adults too as Disneyland Paris’s traditional New Year’s Eve parties, celebrated with Mickey and Co., continue as 2014 becomes 2015!

The entire Enchanted Christmas season sounds pretty magical – an enormous Christmas tree, frosted decorations, encounters with Disney characters in their holiday outfits and, of course, Father Christmas! Also, an essential ingredient for Christmas magic: snow falling every day on Main Street U.S.A.!

Now, I just need to convince my fiancé that we need to celebrate Christmas in the parks!

Disney movies in order of historical setting

(Excludes most of the package films. Some films, eg The Lion King, are impossible to pin down exactly and some, like Aladdin and Treasure Planet, are anachronistic, so these are estimations. A few have been split into 2 if there is more than one time period in the movie, and sequels have been put together.)

Is Disney looking to buy Warner Brothers?

Is Disney looking to buy Warner Brothers?

Recently it was announced that the head of FOX, Rupert Murdoch, tried to purchase Time Warner Brothers Studios for $80 billion. Warner Brothers did not feel that was an adequate amount and Murdoch withdrew his takeover bid. For most people, this came as a surprise that a possible merger was even in the works. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Brothers is still ripe for a possible takeover bid. The current leader is China’s wealthiest man, Wang Jianlin. If Wang’s takeover bid does not come to fruition, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the 3 possible strongest candidates are Disney, Google and Apple. Disney’s market cap is currently worth $149 billion, Google’s market cap is $385 billion and Apples’ market cap is $567 billion. Disney does seem like the low man on the totem poll compered to the other potential candidates, but with $149 billion the possible merger is still a possibility. Remember a few years ago, no one believed that Lucasfilm could be purchased by any company. I am sure a merger of this magnitude would still have to meet hurdles dealing with the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities And Exchange Commission. If a merger like this did go through for Disney and Warner, it would mean that Disney would acquire the likes of the Harry Potter series, The Lord Of The Rings films, DC Comics and all of their movies, classic Warner Brothers cartoons, such as Bugs Bunny, and The Wizard Of Oz.
