After the big pictorial update posted
last Monday about the works on the Ratatouille ride, here is the second part of the Disneyland Paris update thanks to Max Fan, D&M contributor and
DLPWelcome webmaster. First, the park announced officially the Spring season event which will start April 5 and will end on June 22, one day after Summer officially begins in France but also probably a few days before the ratatouille soft-openings start, if DLP imagineers don't have any technical issues on the ride.
Here is the translation of DLP press release about the Spring Season event:
If Disneyland Paris was a garden, it would be the largest in Europe with 35,000 trees, 450,000 shrubs and more than a million flowers planted in the year. Mickey and his friends have decided to that heritage with a special theme for nearly three months, the colors of Spring. With new happenings, new scenery and the opportunity to meet Disney characters in new costumes.
Disneyland Paris turns into a "Springtime Stroll".A new daily happenings "Springtime Promenade" promises to be the event of the day. This musical event ultra-colorful, will be punctuated by more than one hundred artists including more than 90 dancers. Not to mention the Disney Characters in new costumes specially made. Mickey and Minnie, Alice and the Mad Hatter, Woody and Jessie from Toy Story, Stitch, Pinocchio, Clarabelle and many others delight the park accompanied by musicians of "Jolly Holiday Band" and "Swing into Spring Orchestra". The new generation will also be honored, including Rapunzel.
Dreamers will discover their favorite Disney heroes in more flowery than ever versions. Near the Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant topiary with images of 101 Dalmatians, Simba and Nala (The Lion King), or Aristocats, Bambi and his friends Flower and Thumper have sprung up like magic. Other emblematic places will turn into flowers theaters.

Let's move now inside the park and so far as you can see on the picture above there is nothing new - at least that we can see from the outside - on the transformation of the Main Street Photography shop. So let's move directly to the Indiana Jones and the Temple du Péril where there is much more to see as they're currently rebuilding the whole temple in real stone, as you know, with a reopening expected for the end of May, if no delay.
A long shot of Les Pirouettes du Vieux Moulin..
The Adventureland bridge and Peter Pan' Flight are also in refurbishment...
But it's the St Patrick day event located in the back of Frontierland which was the big event of the month with Irish dancers, musicians, and free make-up as well as a meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie in Irish costumes!
Here is the video of the Sarah Clark Academy show which happened at Frontierland's Chaparral Theater.
A St Patrick's day animation also happened at Disney Village...
Let's move to the new LEGO Store nearby where there is a special promotion for the grand opening to anyone buying for at least 40€ ( see below ).
Finally, the new footbridge leading to the Panoramagique balloon is finished and soon guests will be to access to it directly from the exit of Disney Village for a stationery flight over the lake and great aerial view of the parks!
