24 Feb 2024 | 190: What Went Wrong? | 01:14:31 | |
Even as Disney theme park fans we sometimes have to ask the inevitable questions. A month after the reopening of Disneyland Hotel Paris, what are guests writing in the reviews of their stays? If there is an overarching downward trend in star ratings, what could be the cause? Where have people felt let down during their stay at DLP's most epensive hotel? We also have a lovely segment of Love Our Listeners where we even help a family from Down Under prepare for their Easter visit. And don't worry if at first you think you've tapped on the wrong podcast link. The cold open is all part of the show 🙏🏼 Oh, and from now on you will also be able to see your favourite Disneyland Paris podcast on Youtube, one day after it goes out to all aural platforms.
