You'll hardly find a better gift for a Disneyland Paris fan so don't miss it as it is the last copies of the book which will not be reprinted!

We also ship the books in the best box you've ever seen for a book to make sure they arrive in good condition, and this has a cost.
Usually the Special Offer includes a great additional surprise gift, but this new special offer will include TWO great surprise gifts ( and believe me, you'll be VERY happy to get them! )!

VERSION FRANCAISE: Je suis navré d'annoncer que Neverland Editions cessera son activité début Septembre et cette offre spéciale d'été est sans doute votre dernière chance de pouvoir acquérir le fantastique Disneyland Paris de l'Esquisse à la Création au meilleur prix.
Il ne reste que dix exemplaires de cette édition collector française et chaque exemplaire est maintenant au prix de 130€ + 22 € de frais d'envois ( 29€ pour la Belgique et l'Italie ).
Mais j'ai retrouvé récemment une dizaine d'exemplaires qui étaient destinés au service de presse lors de la sortie du livre, et qui sont strictement identiques mais sans "numérotation" de l'exemplaire à l'intérieur. Ces dix exemplaires sont vendus 95€ pièce, + 22€ de frais d'envois ( 29€ pour la Belgique et l'Italie ).
Soyons clair; dés que cette édition collector sera épuisés les prix d'autres vendeurs sur eBay ou Amazon vont flamber et atteindre des prix stratosphériques très rapidement, donc c'est vraiment la dernière chance de pouvoir se procurer le livre à un prix encore raisonnable...
Le règlement peut-être fait via Paypal, carte bancaire ou virement bancaire. Pour toute commande m'envoyer un email à neverlandeditions@gmail.com en précisant si vous voulez l'édition française ou anglaise. L'offre inclus également deux formidables cadeaux surprises!

I have a new Disneyland Paris update for you, thanks to great pictures from Robert, D&M faithful reader and Arribas Crystal Arts!
When Universal Studios opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter there was a merchandise item which was pure genius: the magic wands of Harry Potter and his wizards friends. Sure, all the kids fans of Harry Potter would want to get one, and it's exactly what happened, Universal sells tons of them. It don't happen that often to have a merchandise item being a pure bingo and chances are that Harry Potter magic wands probably made jealous the folks of WDW merchandise dept. Well, i'm happy to say that Disneyland Paris, in collaboration with Arribas - a company specialized in Crystal items - introduced last week its own magic wands, now sold at Merlin's shop inside Sleeping Beauty Castle!
But DLP guests won't find here magic wands made out of wood or resin but of glass, each one is made by a glass blower in front of your own eyes, then filled with magic crystals of your choice!
There is even a storyline for these magic wands! Merlin is asking for your help and is now ready to tell the world the truth. In searching Merlin's own shop was found a parchment revealing Merlin's entire plan: to form a magician's academy to thwart the attack of the Villains thanks to magic wands.
Here is the "recipe" to make a good and powerful magic wand as described by Arribas Crystal Arts: In order to make a good magic wand, the first phase is to choose well the crystals that compose it !
In addition to the shiny colors that will attract your eyes, one must carefully select the crystals, because huge powers will be locked in! Green will make you a lucky one, white will bring you wisdom, red will give you the strength you need to accomplish great things.
Once the crystals have been carefully selected, make sure that is put the right amount of crystals in the wand.
Too many crystals and your wand will create an overpower that will turn against its owner and not enough crystals will cause a dysfunction of the magic placed inside.
The ideal quantity is 20 grams of crystals for a wand, with the colors of your choice.
Now that you have the precise amount of crystals of your choice, you must activate the magic that is locked inside. As there is a specific object, of great rarity and created by Merlin in person!
He did not think he had to use it again and found it at the bottom of his purse.
Thanks to this artifact, the passage of the crystals in the mechanism activates the different powers that they contain while ensuring a perfect mixture.
But there is an ultimate step for your wand to be well balanced! Here is the final step of the recipe, the little touch that will permit you to master the powers contained in your wand. For this, the crystals freshly swollen with magic must pass in our alembic, in order to contain and transport the magic to the wand without it can escape. Then one of our craftsmen, expert in the art of the magic of glass and fire will seal the wand with delicacy and precision ... And you are in possession of your magic wand.. Merlin The enchanter counts on you to take the utmost care and not let the villains get their hands on it!
The personalized wand is a craft creation of Arribas master glassmakers who use all the knowledge that Merlin has transmitted to them to recreate a wand that will contain all the magic of the crystals.
As its name indicates, this object will reflect your personality and can be modulated at your convenience. You will be able to choose between different styles of chopsticks, choosing among different patterns of sleeves with the glass ball coming to close the handle.
When you are certain of your choice, you must still place magic at the heart of the wand, this is the most important step. Here again you have the choice.
You have the great responsibility to select the crystals you want. Once sealed, you are in possession of a magic wand 100% artisanal, 100% personalized!
Find the perfect combination for you to have the wand that looks like you.
The price of a personalized baguette is 39,00 € and you still have the possibility to make it even more to your image by writing the message of your choice ( for 4,90€ ).
Arribas glass blowing artists have worked for several weeks in total secrecy on the realization of the different magic wands. Each master glassmaker expresses his art differently and it is in this that no wand is identical.
They handle the glass carefully until the perfect wand is obtained. The one that, once magical, will make you live unforgettable moments!
These specialists in fire and glass have an essential role because they are also the ones who have the important responsibility to close the wand once all the magic crystals are housed there and the powers can finally reveal themselves.
As glass is fragile, each wand is put inside a special box to make sure it won't be damaged or broken during guests visit of the park.
Also note that there will be other Collector magic wands that will be available later for special events of the year! It is possible that the Wands of the Evil ones arrive for Halloween!

The big rumor this week is that Disney's Animal Kingdom will get an Indiana Jones land. Yes, i know, DAK is supposed to be an “Animal Kingdom” but it didn’t stopped Disney to build the Avatar land there so i suppose the question of meaning is probably not the most important thing. But there is more about this which could make sense in having an Indy land built there. According to Orlando Informer "All of DinoLand, USA will be remade into Indiana Jones Land with half of the attractions getting a theming overhaul and the other half being razed to the ground and replaced by brand-new experiences. Dinosaur, the area’s flagship ride, is expected to be re-skinned as Indiana Jones Adventure, the 1995 attraction from Disneyland – not at all surprising, given that Dinosaur has literally the same exact ride vehicle and track layout as its Californian predecessor. The Boneyard Fossil Fun Site is also currently expected to stay, albeit with the expected makeover into an archeology-themed dig site...
...that leaves the Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama miniland on the chopping block; all the real estate that is currently eaten up by both TriceraTop Spin and Primeval Whirl, along with their attending midway games and gift shop could be home to one giant new E-ticket ride, although what, exactly, that could entail is anyone’s guess at this point in time.”
You can read the full Orlando Informer article HERE but it’s right that the Dinosaur ride has exactly the same track than Indiana Jones Adventure so, yes, they could re-use the ride with the IJA theming and save a lot of money indeed. Same for the Boneyard Fossil site. And DAK vegetation would fit perfectly with an Indy theming too. So, there is several points that could make this rumor right, and we have to wait to see if is or not. The full Orlando Informer article also says that Disney may envision to build a fully-immersive Indiana Jones themed resort experience just like they're planning with the Star Wars resort, which in my opinion could be a very good idea indeed.
And what about an Indiana Jones land too for Disneyland Paris, you ask? Well, the coming of Indiana Jones Adventure to DLP Adventureland is rumored since 20 years, the blueprints are ready ( see above and below ) and the good news is that DLP Imagineers are still keeping available the land to build it when it would be decided to do it. When? Well, here is my opinion on all this. As we know a new Indy movie will get into production soon and is planned to be released on July 10, 2020. Obviously Harrison Ford will be quite old at that time and they plan to have a new actor playing Indy in the movie, and for the next films of the franchise ( btw, good luck to them to find one as good as Harrison Ford! ).
My guess is that Disney will wait to see the success of the movie - and the new actor - and then will give the green light for this DAK Indiana Jones land - if the rumor to build it at DAK is right, of course - and then eventually at DLP. Apparently it seems that we need to be patient so it may mean that all hope is not lost to have Indiana Jones Adventure coming someday at Disneyland Paris Adventureland!
You know the famous quote from Andy Warhol who, in the 70's, said that in the future everyone will have his 15 minutes of glory? Well, today, it's the day for Andreas Seltenheim who did for D&M something absolutely fantastic!
Early last week i've reposted the Geyser Mountain article that i've previously posted after Imagineer Pat Burke passed away and if you've not read it yet i strongly recommend to read it HERE as it includes the story line of this Geyser Mountain attraction that never was. The article included too Pat Burke sketches showing how Geyser Mountain would have looked like and Andreas had the genius idea to create in 3D with the Planet Coaster software the whole building. Even better, he did a video showing Geyser Mountain right in place where it should have been built at DLP Frontierland, near the geysers! As Planet Coaster don't include a functional elevator drop ride Andreas couldn't recreated the ride itself but only the exterior, and he did it with greatness, i'm sure that Pat Burke would have loved it.
I'm sure you're dying to see all this so here are the video and some pictures of Geyser Mountain perfectly recreated by Andreas whom we can't thank enough for the great job he did on this!
Now, let's have a look at the pictures of Andreas CGI creation, and to make sure that you see how Andreas work is close to Pat Burke original sketches, here are Pat drawings again.
Fantastic night shots of Geyser Mountain!
This last picture shows two cowboys in the "vehicle" room, that Andreas put to have people inside the room.
Now, let's hope that someone at DLP Imagineering will watch this video as may be it'll give them the idea to finally build Geyser Mountain at Frontierland!
