Disneyland Paris Update: Discoveryland and more…
by Max Fan, DLPWelcome

We continue our tour of Disneyland Paris as spring blooms in France. The park is enjoying some sprucing up, as you will see, but a few serious problems are still unaddressed.

First up, we’ll head over to Discoveryland and Autopia to check on the progress of Space Mountain and Videopolis.

Phantom Manor reopened last week after being closed for over a month. The changes are minor:

  • The garden of the Manor has been cleaned up and plants were trimmed. But the building was not touched and is still in desperate need of repair.
  • The lighting has been updated in some scenes, in particular, the stretching room is remarkable!
  • Spider webs have been refreshed.
  • The black Raven has returned to its perch near the piano
  • That said, approximately half of the skeletons in the catacombs still do not work.
