Disneyland Paris' Marvel Summer of Superheroes
Sunday 17th June marked mine and my girlfriend’s
5 year anniversary, so in keeping with the tradition of the past two years; we
went to Disneyland Paris for the weekend. The weekend also happened to be
within the first week of DLP’s Summer of Superheroes celebrations. Being big
Marvel fans ourselves; my girlfriend and I were excited to see what Disney had
in store for us. I was highly impressed with the season itself so obviously I had
to share with you all my highlights of Disneyland Paris’ Summer of Superheroes.
Meeting Captain
America
I won’t get into talking about booking this meet and greet
through Lineberty because I will probably post a review of the app at some
point so I will just focus this on the meet itself. I can honestly say, hands down, it was one of
the best meets I’ve ever had at Disneyland Paris. We were Disney Bounding as
Captain America and The Winter Soldier respectively and we both got Captain
America’s seal of approval; he took time to talk to us, compliment our outfits
and take photos. We never felt rushed at any point and the meet made the stress
of Lineberty from that morning worth it. Furthermore, seeing people’s posts and
photos from meeting Captain America; its obvious he was a huge success with
everyone.
Guardians of the
Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off
Star-Lord, Gamora, cheesy music and dancing. What sounds
better? The Awesome Dance-Off that takes place daily in the Studios is
undoubtedly one of the best stage shows that Disneyland Paris has. You get to
dance along with Peter and Gamora whilst simultaneously fighting
evil…essentially you become an honorary Guardian of the Galaxy. If you want to
be as involved as possible then I definitely recommend you get there early to
ensure a front row spot because you may just get picked to go up on stage. On
the Saturday of our trip, I was picked by Gamora to go on stage and join in
with the dancing, and let me just tell you; I loved it. Disneyland definitely
brings out my confidence and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to dance on stage
with Peter Quill and Gamora. Personally, I think this show should be on in the
studios all year round!
Themed Food
If you know anything about me, then you know I enjoy food;
particularly themed food, and Disneyland Paris’ Marvel Summer of Superheroes
definitely did not disappoint when it came to themed food. They had so much to
choose from, from Captain America and Spiderman Beignets (4,99 euros each and
so massive that its definitely value for money) which were delicious to the
tasty yet messy Spider-Web burger. They also had scrumptious (and hard to eat
because it was so cute) Groot shortbread filled with chocolate. There were
plenty of other snacks which we didn’t try, such as ice-cream and cupcakes. It
is safe to say that Disneyland Paris took the call for more themed snacks
seriously and hopefully this is a good sign of what is to come with DLP and
their food on offer.
Collectibles
Let’s be real – I never thought I’d need an Infinity Gauntlet
until I saw it launched at Disney Parks in America. I was disappointed until it
became obvious that it was going to be available in Disneyland Paris during
Summer of Superheroes. So, one of the first things we did upon our arrival last
Friday (after pineapple whips, obviously) was head over to the Studios so we
could see the incredible Iron Man, Hulk and Black Panther statues (which are
massive) and then purchase the Infinity Gauntlet and the Groot cup. Both are
perfect for either displaying purposes or using to drink out of and I would
definitely recommend buying them. Other merchandise available included
t-shirts, ears, bags, purses and plushes. We may also have picked up a baby
Groot plush because it was too cute to resist.
Have you got a trip
planned during Summer of Superheroes? Let me know in the comments what you’re
most looking forward to!
