One of my favourite Paris details, is in the walk through attraction in the upper levels of the castle, theres 2 sets of armour, and a statue of a crow, if you take flash photos of them, they reflect back the 3 colours of the fairies!
So happy to see Disneyland Paris being covered. As someone living in the UK, Paris is the closest park and thus the one I’ve been to the most (I think the first time I went was when I was like 4, and the last time early January 2020). And as much as I like the Magic Kingdom and whatnot in Florida, Paris is still my favourite park and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Another cool thing about sleeping beauty castle is that if you look at the stained glass window at the front of the castle from the inside, the image on the window switches from doves to roses every few seconds
I’m still sad about the Phantom Manor refurb. Their decision to give Melanie several other past fiancées takes away so much tragedy from the story... and I miss the cackling Phantom in the ballroom window, the rotting corpse of the Phantom at the end, and Skelanie. Oh well
I think if it was tweaked to have been her father arranging these marriages instead of her dating them it would have made it easier to keep the portraits and also add to why she wanted to run away with the man she chose
Skelanie 😭 The old story was better. But the new visuals are WAY better. The old portraits looked pretty bad, the faces looked uncanny and the anatomy wasn’t great, like in one of them one of Melanie’s hands is visibly 2 times bigger than the other one. Also, the melanie animatronics were so uncanny and outdated. They looked straight out of FNaF
One of the greatest tragedies of the current Disney Parks situation. Only things I can think of that feel worse are things like the unused People Mover/Rocket Rod tracks in Disneyland. The difference is, however, that the Space Mountain fix seems a lot more feasible than the Tomorrowland Track fix, which just makes it all the more maddening
Just a note, Louis XIV helped popularized topiary, when he hired Andre Le Notre to design the gardens at Versailles. So the box trees actually have a French connection. On an additional for fun note, Louis XV and several of his friends actually dressed as topiary yew trees at the famed Yew Tree Ball in 1745.
Cool DLP castle fact that noone ever seems to know (even my CM friend when we watched the firework show with her!): The glass window at the very top spire, lowers and drops at the beginning and end of the firework shows to allow the laser star to come out, which is used in the castle-originated lasers within the shows. It's always sneaky coming out at the beginning and barely noticeable, at the end the star stays out for a good few minutes after the show finishes before slowly folding back in, and the window being raised back up, so nobody ever seems to notice it. It's so cool! Another thing: I'm an animation lecturer, and I always tell my students about this, but the art of animation building waiting room is THE best room on property. Apart from having original zoetropes etc etc, it has one of the original multiplane cameras setup in there tucked against a wall, imported from California. It's one of 2 or 3 Disney owned MP cameras still existing! We always so to cry and look at it before being ushered into the next room, we don't care about the attraction as such, we just want to be in that lobby!! I have loads more if you ever want em!
We love the hidden shop and detail of Snow White and the Severn Dwarfs - Disneyland Paris has so many hidden areas and features, the prettiest park by far!
Just gotta say out of all Disney oriented youtubers you are my absolute favorite! Love your humor and the passion you have for these videos it really makes my day whenever you post :) can’t wait for Covid to settle down so I can donate to the patreon, I would absolutely love a guided tour of Disney from you !
(Mansion) I had an annual pass for Disneyland Paris before everything closed due to covid. One of my favorite secrets in the park is found in the Thunder Mesa Riverboats. When the park opened it operated with two boats, a sternwheeler named Tom Sawyer and a sidewheeler names Molly Brown. Almost ten years after the park opened, in 2005, Molly Brown had an accident, causing her engines to overheat. She was put out of commission and Tom Sawyer took over her duties for over 6 years while she was put on a dry dock for repairs. During these 6 years, Tom Sawyer was also heavily damaged due to the lake partially freezing over because of Paris' climate. In 2011 Molly Brown was rebuilt from scratch and resumed operations, but Tom Sawyer was beyond repair and was parked along the side of the river, with Disney eventually building a silo around it. To this day (well not technically this day since the park is closed), when riding the riverboat in Paris, you can see the silo on your starboard side, knowing that the old riverboat is still inside, likely never to come out.
I think you’re talking about the “Mark Twain”. Also Disney did announce (a year or two ago at D23) they were going to restore it and put it back into service. Fun fact, when the Molly Brown is closed for refurbishments and they move it into the dry dock, they move the Mark Twain out of the dry dock and park it at the boarding platform under a big tarp.
I go to Disneyland Paris quite often (as I am French & a AP holder) but there are some details I didn't even know about, like the snails on the castle! Great video :)
Apparently the black grave originally was for a character that never made it into the final cut of the ride, thats why there was no inscription on it. The tomb is now associated with Melanie
@@SecretsDisney That makes sense, I heard it was Melanie's because it is right next to her parents one. Considering there is no inscription like Henry and Martha to say who it buried there, It could be anyone's. I personally think its for Melanie maybe an empty grave they put there because she wasn't seen for years and they assumed she was dead. Maybe it is a nod to the Beating Heart Bride, we can only theorise.
Please make more video’s about Disneyland Paris. I used to go a couple of weekends a year with my dad. This park is so amazing and has so many fun secrets if I may call them that. I miss the park so much. This really brings me there. I love this ❤️
I had a chance to go to DLP several years ago, and it is amazing. I’ve been to all 6 US parks and both Paris parks, and Disneyland Paris is definitely my favorite park. Hoping to get to Tokyo in the next couple of years.
Nobody: Offhand: “let’s make a euro-Disney video” *reflects* “.... but the haunted mansion/phantom manor must be included” *french music cuts to grim grinning ghosts* 😂
I'll be going next week to Disneyland Paris, if I catch the ghost in the attic or find a wicked secret I'll make sure to share it with ya! Loved this vid!!
I was going to leave a joke and pretend those "spire nubs" were actually called a "spirelet". Come to find out, that's a real word and means "a small spire". I was going to pretend I knew what I was talking about when it comes to the mansion... I mean the castle. Oh well.
The Beating Heart grave made more sense that it was the bride's grave before they changed the story. When you entered the bride's bedroom she was an old woman meaning she had lived her entire life waiting for her groom and died of old age. But now they've kept her a young woman clear up to the bedroom. Oh and I don't know if they still do it but smoke would also come out of the chimney outside.
A small detail I don't see mentioned a lot - on Main Street, if you look to the right when walking into the park, you'll see a building that has the exact same shape as the original Sleeping Beauty Castle. (it's visible in 4:12 in the video)
Oooo this is the video you were talking about on stream!! I’m really excited for it! Also, thanks Dallin for answering my question in stream. Using it, I was able to listen to the podcast and I loved it! The Haunted “Mansion” is a truly fascinating topic.
as a dlp nut, I think that the lore for phantom manor is that melanie is more of a dickensian Miss Havisham character, I remember earlier promotional materials talking about how she eternally waited for her groom in her wedding dress, I'm not sure if the tomb is hers, but all the recent updates have sort of strayed from the original concept - so it becomes a little bit confusing!
@@BlairSlavin Euro Disney was a financial disaster, that's why so many projects were cancelled and downscaled. Frank Well's death in 1994 was the final nail in the coffin.
Thank you so much for doing a video on Disneyland Paris. As a European it is my "Home park" and I have been like 4 times - it usually gets left out in disney youtube so I'm so happy you are covering it
As a Disneyland Paris cast member I have another detail/secret for you: in one of Main Street's restaurants (named Walt's) there is a mechanical bird which apparently used to belong to Walt. I took a photo of it a long time ago, when I find it I'll share it with you 🙂
"As it's known now, Disneyland Paris"...known by Americans and foreigners. Because we Europeans at large STILL call it *EuroDisney* since that's the original AND superior name 😝 You're gonna LOVE Phantom Manor when you visit (perhaps in 2022 for the 30th Anniversary?). However, one correction: Phantom Manor does NOT have an attic scene. Never had. So neither Constance nor the Beating-Heart Bride were ever present there. After the Ball Room you've always gone into Melanie's bedroom. The black tomb is supposed to be Melanie's grave. One detail to look for: If you go ride the Molly Brown around Big Thunder Mountain, when you reach Phantom Manor at the end of the ride, look to the middle window at the front of Phantom Manor, right above the door. Melanie will be there looking at you! 😁 Oh, and we DO have the Evil Queen in Snow White's Scary Adventures opening the curtains at EuroDisney as well ;) Ah. And "Mansion".
Fun video! It brought back memories of my Adventures by Disney trip to London and Paris a couple years ago. My wife and I spent five days at Disneyland Paris after the tour. We enjoyed all the unique walk-through attractions. Oh, and "mansion."
One of my favorite hidden secrets is a very tiny carving of a thunderbird inside a cave as you are about to enter the dynamite lift Hill on big thunder mountain, it's really hard to spot but I've been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it (easiest seen at the back of the train). Such an awesome tiny detail alluding to the thunderbird who's curse lies on the mountain.
@@OverDramaticPumpkins so its just as you come around the corner before you go up the hill inside where there are all the fuses leading up to the dynamite. If you look to your right when you are on that corner you will see a little cave, and it's just on the wall inside that cave.
I've never seen the Phantom either. But you can also only see Melanie in the main window if you ride the Molly Brown, so perhaps you need to go to a specific place to see the Phantom. I just don't know where that place it :P
when you exit (on the side of the Manor) and walk a little further and look right up you can see the Phantom I believe its the bigger window on the left ^^ You can also see him beter when riding on Molly Brown on the top like you can see Melanie
here are some details you migh thave missed: 1. there was a pizza planet in disneyland paris that was completely at the back of the park. It was in Discoveryland. If you look on the map on phone you can kida still see where the entrance was at the top right where space mountain is, beneath the railroad tracks. This pizzeria is something I have always missed when I want to Disneyland Paris and sadly it's closed today, but it's still a neath thing to look into. 2. There is actually a Thunder mesa riverboat missing in Frontierland / Thunder Mesa. Originally there were 2 boats, the Mark Twain and the Molly Brown riverboat. They are both shown on the map in the disneyland app. But one of these is stored in a dry spot. I couldn't find where it is. But I do know someone made a video on the riverboat before, but they removed it from YT. They said the riverboat was visible for viewers and that is was fully run down and just put there to be forgotten. I don't know the full story but maybe you can solve this matter. 3. the face of the headless person in Thunder Mesa in Phantom manor was actually from the mold in an american attraction (at least I think it was in the USA.) It's from a ride with a scientist and a flying ship or something. The mold for that scientist was used for the headless dude in Thunder Mesa. There is also someone in the Ballroom wich is from the same mold as the fat dude by the dog in Pirates of the caribean wich only a few people notice. It's these small details that make Diseyland fun to visit. I hope I helped you a bit and good luck with future video's. Please make more on Disneyland Paris and Phantom manor because Disneyland Paris isn't shown a lot on YT and it's my favorite park as well as that Phantom Manor is my favorite ride. :)
Here's an interesting story I came up with in regards to the unmarked sarcophagus: Melanie Ravenswood wasn't the only child of Henry and Martha, there was a son named Franklin or Frank as he liked to be called. Frank was the oldest and the Ravenswoods were actually a happy family with Henry actually being caring devoted father. However Frank had a weak heart since birth but still managed to be a healthy ideal weight for his height and bone structure. Frank was also a good brother and would get very angry if anyone was rude to Melanie . One day in the 1850s Frank and Melanie went into to town. Frank was going to have a few drinks in the saloon while Melanie went to pick up a few things in various stores for home. They parted ways and Melanie started across the street. However she soon found herself in the path of on coming stage coach that was speeding. Melanie froze with fear, but Frank rescued her just in time only to die of heart attack as a result. After that Henry changed as he blamed Melanie for Frank's death. Frank was buried in the sarcophagus that Henry had commissioned but left unmarked because of denial.
I like that story... Even though in life he had a weak heart, because of his self sacrifice to save his sister, if you put your hand on his tomb, you can feel his heart beating strongly.
I thought the whole reason that Melanie is aging is because its a passage of time and that we see her young, beautiful, and heartbroken, then when she's old and tormented, then as she decends into the other side now as a ghost leaving with the uninvited guests
They have the Toy Story Zoetrope in Disneyland Paris too! Also Volcano Bay was actually originally designed as an indoor water park in Disneyland Paris
Did anyone know that the old mill in Disneyland Paris Fantasyland ( which is now a meet and greet spot) was an actual attraction. It was kind of a Ferris wheel. But it closed down a few years after the opening.
Paris is for sure the best Magic Kingdom style park. It's so expertly designed and beautiful. I'm sad It's overlooked and mostly compared to the American parks
I've never been to Disneyland Paris either! We should make a vacation group (when it's covid-safe) and plan an "Offhand" vacation, with you and all your patreons who want to go😃 oh, and MANSION!
Mansion, I have ridden the Phantom Manor ride. It's great. It is not a Haunted Mansion remake but more of an homage. The tie-in with Big Thunder Mountain is so cool.
Whahahaha, you had me with the snails xD I'm from The Netherlands and we have a saying; 'O dat is met de Franse slag gedaan'. Translated it would be something like: 'That's done with the French speed/workaround' which isn't really a compliment right? But then Disney decorates this castle sphere with snails? That, to me, is the cherry on top🤣
For the Phantom at the window : i doubt it's a call back to the evil queen because she is aslo in Disneyland Paris at fantasyland, over the snow white ride😅 For the Snails : it's also a nob to the castle that inspired the one in the parck. The state were there are a big snails producers 🌟 I really enjoy your videos and can't wait for the next ✨
For the beating heart casket, I feel it was just a simple fun thing implemented that would be spooky. I wouldn't be surprised it actually retcons itself to being related to any of those further down the line or even gaining its own lore.
The Bandstand exists in DLP owing to the entrance gates. Unlike MK or DL, there's one directly behind it and in line with the castle. The imagineers needed something to obscure the castle from outside the park. They wanted the reveal to happen once you rounded Main St.
You forgot the ghost in the Nautilus Organ, a link to Disneyland Haunted Mansion and the original Nautilus organ found in that ride :) Also, the former slide at Alice's Labrynth or the missing attraction at the Old Mill :)
One of my favourite Paris details, is in the walk through attraction in the upper levels of the castle, theres 2 sets of armour, and a statue of a crow, if you take flash photos of them, they reflect back the 3 colours of the fairies!
True and they make sleeping noise

Same! I am so happy seeing it finally getting recognised! It will always be my favourite park out of them all :)
Disneyland is still the best, it's the first, it's cozy and it has charm--"for lack of a better work"
The Hat BAGUETTES Ghost?
Dan it’s time for you to go your drunkenly making fun of the French again
Phantom Manor takes place in the old west, In America.
More like Hat Boîte Ghost, am I right? ;)
@@ChrisLee007 correct
*Insert March de Marseilles earrape here.*
A "secret" I love from Phantom Manor is that the Mayor in the undead city reused the same mold as the Dream Finder animatronic
EuroDisney: happens
Ambitious projects: *I'm in danger*
Yeah?
Another cool thing about sleeping beauty castle is that if you look at the stained glass window at the front of the castle from the inside, the image on the window switches from doves to roses every few seconds
I love Paris's castle! The hills just look so classic and I think it's gorgeous. Plus snails!
What differs Sleeping Beauty Castle from DLP compared to the others. It’s a Fairytale castle
I’m still sad about the Phantom Manor refurb. Their decision to give Melanie several other past fiancées takes away so much tragedy from the story... and I miss the cackling Phantom in the ballroom window, the rotting corpse of the Phantom at the end, and Skelanie. Oh well
As French speaker who’ve done Phantom Manor so many times since I was kid. The refurbishment was necessary
I think if it was tweaked to have been her father arranging these marriages instead of her dating them it would have made it easier to keep the portraits and also add to why she wanted to run away with the man she chose
Yeah I miss old phantom manor too I miss the Skelanie corpse.
Skelanie 😭

This made me miss Disneyland Paris... except the Indiana Jones Ride because... well... you know.
the indiana jones ride is SO good! im a Paris pass holder and i LOVE indiana jones!
It's my first looping coaster ever.
I rarely go on it nowadays because it's so uncomfortable. You always hit your head really hard on the restraints.
I don't go on it, the back pain is just not worth it anymore
@@RGamePlayXtreme It's like the Matterhorn of Adventureland.
I love how you always find a good way to fit in the haunted mansion whenever you possibly can.

Walt Disney Studios is getting a much deserved transformation
my magic touch is amazing
1. The disappearance of Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune. We gotta go find it. Pls bring it back ;-;
hardcore star wars fan here, 100% agreed
I must say... It's amazing to hear the Star Wars soundtrack, just before the launch😂🙈

Nope. Absolutely not. HyperSpace Mountain is far better with the Star Wars overlay.
@@chompythebeast it's temporary though. We're saved
I really like the 20 000 Leagues walkthrough in Discoveryland. Walkthrough attractions are underrated.
I love the Haunted ‘Mansion’ and as a long term Disneyland goer I really enjoyed WDW version with the stairs.....

You have to know its history before it was the park today. Back when Michael Eisner was in charge. The park was almost a flop.

It's such a beautiful park! And they have CREPES, for goodness sake!
This park has so many details. Enjoyed walking around it
You know what would be great? A virtual ride-along video of Phantom Manor!
Bless your soul for covering DLP! It's my home park and my absolute favourite place in the world.

Mansion! Thanks! Brought back many wonderful memories!
At Phantom Manor, you can also see Melanie in the window above the door, and also on a window at the side, you can see the Grim Reaper!
Aside from DisneySea, Disneyland Paris is probably one of it’s most beautiful Theme Parks.
The evil Queen is also peaking from the window in Paris! I have never seen the Phantom tho D:
Please make more Paris video's haha
I've never seen the Phantom either. But you can also only see Melanie in the main window if you ride the Molly Brown, so perhaps you need to go to a specific place to see the Phantom. I just don't know where that place it :P
@@___David__ ohhh yeah, that might be the reason!
@@___David__ The Phantom is in a window on the ride exit side of the manor.
when you exit (on the side of the Manor) and walk a little further and look right up you can see the Phantom I believe its the bigger window on the left ^^ You can also see him beter when riding on Molly Brown on the top like you can see Melanie
@@Cellarorganic I have spent hours watching on that side and never seen him😂😭 I always stand there for a while to see if he shows😭😭
Disneyland Paris also has an Evil Queen looking over Fantasyland!
MANSION!! another great video, sir. Disneyland Paris is on the bucket list and i can’t wait to experience Phantom Manor in person.
I live in England so Disneyland Paris is my closest park. It sometimes doesn't feel like it gets the love it deserves. thank you
Thank for your amazing videos!! More ride alongs!!!
here are some details you migh thave missed:
1. there was a pizza planet in disneyland paris that was completely at the back of the park. It was in Discoveryland. If you look on the map on phone you can kida still see where the entrance was at the top right where space mountain is, beneath the railroad tracks. This pizzeria is something I have always missed when I want to Disneyland Paris and sadly it's closed today, but it's still a neath thing to look into.
2. There is actually a Thunder mesa riverboat missing in Frontierland / Thunder Mesa. Originally there were 2 boats, the Mark Twain and the Molly Brown riverboat. They are both shown on the map in the disneyland app. But one of these is stored in a dry spot. I couldn't find where it is. But I do know someone made a video on the riverboat before, but they removed it from YT. They said the riverboat was visible for viewers and that is was fully run down and just put there to be forgotten. I don't know the full story but maybe you can solve this matter.
3. the face of the headless person in Thunder Mesa in Phantom manor was actually from the mold in an american attraction (at least I think it was in the USA.) It's from a ride with a scientist and a flying ship or something. The mold for that scientist was used for the headless dude in Thunder Mesa. There is also someone in the Ballroom wich is from the same mold as the fat dude by the dog in Pirates of the caribean wich only a few people notice. It's these small details that make Diseyland fun to visit.
I hope I helped you a bit and good luck with future video's. Please make more on Disneyland Paris and Phantom manor because Disneyland Paris isn't shown a lot on YT and it's my favorite park as well as that Phantom Manor is my favorite ride. :)
Me: *has never left the USA*
Also Me: WHAT DID I NOT NOTICE?!
I was thinking just that. "What have I not noticed in a Disney park I've never even been in the same longitudinal hemisphere as? I must know!"
The Haunted Mansion is my most favorite ride.... I'm glad you feature it often.
Here's an interesting story I came up with in regards to the unmarked sarcophagus:
Melanie Ravenswood wasn't the only child of Henry and Martha, there was a son named Franklin or Frank as he liked to be called.
Frank was the oldest and the Ravenswoods were actually a happy family with Henry actually being caring devoted father.
However Frank had a weak heart since birth but still managed to be a healthy ideal weight for his height and bone structure. Frank was also a good brother and would get very angry if anyone was rude to Melanie .
One day in the 1850s Frank and Melanie went into to town. Frank was going to have a few drinks in the saloon while Melanie went to pick up a few things in various stores for home. They parted ways and Melanie started across the street. However she soon found herself in the path of on coming stage coach that was speeding. Melanie froze with fear, but Frank rescued her just in time only to die of heart attack as a result. After that Henry changed as he blamed Melanie for Frank's death. Frank was buried in the sarcophagus that Henry had commissioned but left unmarked because of denial.
I like that story... Even though in life he had a weak heart, because of his self sacrifice to save his sister, if you put your hand on his tomb, you can feel his heart beating strongly.
I thought the whole reason that Melanie is aging is because its a passage of time and that we see her young, beautiful, and heartbroken, then when she's old and tormented, then as she decends into the other side now as a ghost leaving with the uninvited guests
They have the Toy Story Zoetrope in Disneyland Paris too!
Also Volcano Bay was actually originally designed as an indoor water park in Disneyland Paris
Did anyone know that the old mill in Disneyland Paris Fantasyland ( which is now a meet and greet spot) was an actual attraction. It was kind of a Ferris wheel. But it closed down a few years after the opening.
It’s a quick service near a meet and greet 😋😋😋
Its AT the meet and greet spot and Also a smokers place.
Paris is for sure the best Magic Kingdom style park. It's so expertly designed and beautiful. I'm sad It's overlooked and mostly compared to the American parks
I hear the Shanghi one is best.
It hard to miss 5 things about DL Paris when I have never been there! ;) Very informative video! Thank you! :D
I'd love more DL Paris videos. Great job!
I've never been to Disneyland Paris either! We should make a vacation group (when it's covid-safe) and plan an "Offhand" vacation, with you and all your patreons who want to go😃 oh, and MANSION!
That would be a lot of people, so maybe the people going would be a draw from a hat box (haha, I love references) or a giveaway
Mansion, I have ridden the Phantom Manor ride. It's great. It is not a Haunted Mansion remake but more of an homage. The tie-in with Big Thunder Mountain is so cool.
Thank you for your videos.
this is so cool, i've never heard of the snails on the castle
The green screen acting is so high energy and funny I love it bro
Love to see my home park on your channel, greeting from Paris!
the haunted MANSION is my favorite ride and phantom manor seems so cool
I'm a simple man. I see an Offhand upload, I click the like.
Always the best content. Thanks again man :D (P.S., MANSION!)
Why am I so excited for the fountain in Epcot now? That is such a cute detail though!
Whahahaha, you had me with the snails xD I'm from The Netherlands and we have a saying; 'O dat is met de Franse slag gedaan'. Translated it would be something like: 'That's done with the French speed/workaround' which isn't really a compliment right? But then Disney decorates this castle sphere with snails? That, to me, is the cherry on top🤣
DLP recently released a book all about Phantom Manor & it explains the story & characters in it.
For the Phantom at the window : i doubt it's a call back to the evil queen because she is aslo in Disneyland Paris at fantasyland, over the snow white ride😅
For the Snails : it's also a nob to the castle that inspired the one in the parck. The state were there are a big snails producers 🌟
I really enjoy your videos and can't wait for the next ✨
Disneyland Paris is a bucket list thing for me. That, and a secret mansion.
Fun fact the Toy Story zoetrope now found a new home at the Studios park in Paris (no, not in the mansion)
Whaaat? Where in the Studios park exactly?
@@MajorM0nster in the “Art Of Disney Animation” building.
For the beating heart casket, I feel it was just a simple fun thing implemented that would be spooky. I wouldn't be surprised it actually retcons itself to being related to any of those further down the line or even gaining its own lore.
The Bandstand exists in DLP owing to the entrance gates. Unlike MK or DL, there's one directly behind it and in line with the castle. The imagineers needed something to obscure the castle from outside the park. They wanted the reveal to happen once you rounded Main St.
You forgot the ghost in the Nautilus Organ, a link to Disneyland Haunted Mansion and the original Nautilus organ found in that ride :)
Also, the former slide at Alice's Labrynth or the missing attraction at the Old Mill :)
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back that's my fav part. Lol.
