Look what I've just found on Facebook... It's a draft version of the #SpaceMountain: De la Terre à la Lune Press Information pack, dated 16 January 1995. 👀 ➡️ www.facebook.com/groups/95015...

The Spice Girls at Disneyland Paris, riding #SpaceMountain: De la Terre à la Lune, on The O-Zone back in July 1996. Do you think Geri enjoyed it? 😆 ▶️ youtu.be/Q1LEiE4vZgs?...

In the teaser video released 16 August 2026, four late Victorian space travellers hold up their tickets. 🎩🎟️ The tickets mention "FIRST FLIGHT TO THE MOON", "INAUGURAL ROUTE" and "01-0695", a reference to the attraction's original opening date. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

I remember watching the Jules Verne-themed edition of Disney Time, broadcast on BBC1 on 29 May 1995. The final shot offered a sneak peek of the completed Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune, three days before it opened to the public! 🚀🌙😍 #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

I just got out my old copy of the Disneyland Paris Vacation Guide 1995. The guide contains a few pieces of Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune concept art, published before the attraction opened. 🚀🌙 #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

In addition to its Instagram account, I think it would be great if Walt Disney Imagineering also had a Bluesky account to share its own updates and news directly. 🙏

In a letter dated 21 June 1995, Guest Communications wrote to me: "We are overwhelmed by your enthusiasm for our latest attraction and enclose especially for you a copy of 'En Coulisse', the internal Cast Member magazine." Here is that copy! ☺️ #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

Just 5 months after Bob Iger stepped down as CEO, we have the announcement of the return of two beloved non-IP attractions: Journey into Imagination & De la Terre à la Lune. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but what if it was him (and his team) preventing them from returning? 🤔

"Of course, there's going to be some more news over time, what we're going to do on the inside. Maybe not everything is 100% the same as it was before, but the spirit of the original attraction for sure will be living on." – Michel den Dulk #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

The Lion King-themed attraction won't shy away from the 1994 animated film's darker and more dramatic scenes. At D23 2026, a new piece of concept art and model were shown, depicting villain Scar's final confrontation with Simba. 🦁 #TheLionKing #DisneyAdventureWorld

As @parcorama.bsky.social spotted on X, Tim Delaney's signature appears in the bottom-right corner of the NEW Space Mountain artwork! 😮 I wonder how involved he is with the project? He narrated "A day at Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain" video, just a year ago. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

With today's news, I think we should all thank @dlpguide.com who came up with the #BringBackTheMoon hashtag over 15 years ago! It's been a long journey, but clearly Disneyland Paris does listen to its fans, if we ask for long enough. Our next mission... #BringBackLeVisionarium 😆

Nostalgic fans can expect special effects to enhance the iconic blast sequence! 💥😀 "This new version will make use of all the innovations and cutting-edge technology introduced over the years in the attraction." – Imagineer Keith Rector #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

The artwork also implies that the original Space Mountain attraction poster will be brought back! 🖼️ This spectacular poster was created in 1994 (by Tim Delaney, Rudy Lord and Stuart Bailey) and displayed outside the attraction from 1995 to 2005. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

Zooming into the Space Mountain artwork, there's a "hidden" Nine-Eye from Le Visionarium to discover! 🔎 Could it be that this beloved Circumvisual PhotoDroid will make an appearance somewhere inside the restored attraction? 👀 #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

Extensive technical work and some maintenance upgrades will be made. But, I think we can assume that a total track replacement won't happen. Interestingly, the coaster trains seen in the artwork differ from the current Hyperspace Mountain trains. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

CafeFantasia 💫 Disneyland Paris @cafefantasia.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
In the redesigned queue, guests will once again be able to watch the trains in motion, drawing them deeper into the story! 🚀😍 The Stellar Way (Voie Stellaire) walkway was a mesmerising feature of the original attraction, from 1995 to 2005. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune's original 1995 soundtrack will finally be brought back. ❤️❤️❤️ Steve Bramson's iconic score will return, fully remastered to accompany guests on their journey to the moon! #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

Space Mountain will be brought back to its original vision, but the story will now transport guests to an idealised period of the very first travels to the moon. Inside, beloved elements will return alongside new scenic details and enhancements. #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

CafeFantasia 💫 Disneyland Paris @cafefantasia.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Hyperspace Mountain will close at the end of 2027, for a refurbishment over several months. So, we can assume that Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune will open in early 2028, perhaps as part of Disneyland Park's 36th Anniversary celebrations? #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

BREAKING: Disneyland Paris is finally bringing back Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune. 🥳🥳🥳 At last night's D23 2026 Disney Experiences Showcase, Imagineer Ali Rubinstein announced "we're bringing the attraction back to its original look". #SpaceMountain #DisneylandParis

I wish DLP's press releases were simply more honest with fans. 🙏 They focus on what they've added, but they don't mention what they've removed. 😕 "A brand-new Snow White figure has been installed" sounds additive, but two figures (Prince and his horse) were subtracted. ➕➖➖

It's 33˚C in Bedford today. ☀️🌡️ I really hope Universal Creative are designing Universal UK Resort with climate change in mind, so that the park from day one has an abundance of: ⛱️ Shade (covered outdoor spaces) ❄️ Indoor attractions (with AC) ⛲️ Water features 🌳 Trees

With the 30˚C heatwave we're having in London today, I'm currently listening to the Galaxy's Edge entrance music to help cool down. ❄️🧘🏻‍♂️ What Disney Parks area music (background loops) do you listen to, to feel cooler and calmer? 🎵 ▶️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKAE...

The Lion King attraction will combine the latest in technology: projection effects, state-of-the-art Audio Animatronics. 🦁 "I promise you that when you go on this ride there will be things that you will look at and say wow, how did they do that?" – John Mauro, Imagineer

If you're considering staying at the Moxy Paris Val d'Europe, please be aware that the Wi-Fi in the rooms can be REALLY slow. ⚠️ My experience on 28 March 2026 was that messages took forever to send, and FaceTime Audio kept dropping out. Look at that upload speed! 😬

Question for Jean-David Marque... Could the "bubbles per minute" output of the battery-operated bubble wands sold at Disneyland Paris be toned down a bit please? It's getting ridiculous. 🫧 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

Whenever I get a new iPhone, I invariably end up taking Night mode photos in the Boiler Room. 📱 So, here are some I took with my new iPhone 17. To be honest, I actually prefer the look of the photos I took with my iPhone 13 last year. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

It's hard to see from the side, but the "central roundabout" next to The Regal View is decorated with flowers that form a compass rose. 🌸 A compass rose is a circular graphic symbol found on maps, charts and... compasses. 🧭😆 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

Did the Imagineers really intend for Arendelle Bay to have shows performed on it, or was that something the entertainment team decided later? 🤔 The surface of the water is very low compared with the rest of the land. #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

World of Frozen is low on number of attractions, but high on details. 🔎 For example, here's the Snødronningen (Danish for "The Snow Queen") fishing boat, which Anna fell into when she first met Prince Hans. ⛵️ #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

The North Mountain in World of Frozen rises to a height of 118 feet (36 metres). ❄️ But Pride Rock (currently under construction) will be ever so slightly taller at a height of 121 feet (37 metres). 🏗️🦁 #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

Here's a photo I took of the Earffel Tower with its new (March 2026) lighting package outlining the edges of the mouse ears. 🐭 The lighting was actually inspired by the original 1989 version of the Earffel Tower, at Disney-MGM Studios. 💡 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

So, I finally saw TOGETHER: a Pixar Musical Adventure. The video tech was impressive and I appreciated the live band. 👍 But, I'm not a fan of shows mimed to pre-recorded vocals and dialogue. It really made me cringe. Sorry. 🙈 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

I get that The Regal View is supposed to be DAW's equivalent of Auberge de Cendrillon. But, I wish there was: 1. An adult menu available for less than €100 💰🙏 2. A time of day you could eat there without the character dining 👸🏼🙏 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

In 34 years of visiting Disneyland Paris, on this trip (March 2026) I ONLY visited the second gate. 😱 Yep, I spent 2½ days inside Disney Adventure World and didn't go into Disneyland Park once. The expansion is a game-changer! #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

CafeFantasia 💫 Disneyland Paris @cafefantasia.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
It was so weird to be stood inside the park, looking back at the Earfell Tower far FAR in the distance (560 metres)! It's going to take some time for me to get used to the expansion after 24 years of visiting Walt Disney Studios Park. 😅 #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

Not that this video demonstrates it, but on Frozen Ever After you rarely see the boat ahead of you. This makes the experience more personal, more intimate. As they say, "the best rides are the ones that happen to you". ✨ #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

CafeFantasia 💫 Disneyland Paris @cafefantasia.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
On dark rides, some of the most interesting views can be found by looking in unusual directions. 👀 If you look straight up in Frozen Ever After's introductory scene, the icicle lights are quite mesmerising. ❄️😍 #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

On Frozen Ever After, when you're sat in your boat waiting to be dispatched, look up and to your left... There's a really charming Arendelle Village at night scene, in miniature. 😍 #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis

This Arendelle Daily Press sign, outside Nordic Crowns Tavern, naturally shares the same design as the newspaper handed out on opening day. 📰 I like how they've written a whole backstory for Frozen 2's "Samantha" joke. 😂👍 #WorldofFrozen #DisneyAdventureWorld #DisneylandParis
