New: Photo of the day on Instagram

Some changes have been made to our Instagram. Just until recently we used Instagram only to post live photos from the Parks, but this caused our photo stream to remain silent in between trips. Therefor a “photo of the day” as well as “Throwback Thursday” will fill in that gap!

Remember Cyber Space Mountain?

Before Stitch Live! and Playhouse Disney Live on Stage there was the Television Production Tour in which guests were taken on a tour through the backstage of a real Disney Channel production, only until a few years after the park opened, pulled out of Walt Disney Studios Park and left empty soundstages behind.

The post show of the tour was called the Zapping Zone (or Disney Channel Cyberspace according to some signs) with a bunch of old interactive games that came from the closed Disney Quest Chicago (a Disney-version of a games arcade). One of the popular attractions was Cyber Space Mountain, in which guests could design their own rollercoaster on a computer and then ride it in a motion simulator.

In 2006 both the tour and the post show closed down to make way for new attractions.

Over 35 photos and lots more info in our newest gallery update:

Take a photo tour of the three star resort boarding Lake Disney: Disney’s Sequoia Lodge. Inspired by the great American national parks, Disney’s Sequoia Lodge is surrounded by an artificial forest, including sequoia trees imported from the United States.

Currently all rooms are being refurbished and feature touches inspired by Disney’s Bambi!

Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch photo tour

Disneyland Paris is currently updating all Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch cabins with brand new models featuring two bathrooms with shower, flat screen tv and air conditioning.

Last year a bunch of fans were invited by the Disneyland Paris Corporate Communications office for a tour of these new cabins. Photos Magiques was invited too and we came back very satisfied about these new cabins. Take the photo tour with us:

Instagram profile

If you’re a follower of Photos Magiques on Twitter, then you know we post live photos during our Disneyland Paris visits on Instagram. For those that don’t know Instagram, it’s a social application used to take photos – with or without filter – and upload them to the Instagram timeline.

We’ve been using Instagram since November 2011 and we currently have over 540 followers and over 200 photos, all taken and posted live from Disneyland Paris, Disney Fantasy cruise ship and Walt Disney World!

The new profile pages will allow visitors bowing through our photos, without the need to use the app. Instagram users can log-in and like & comment on photos without the need to open the app on their iOS or Android device.
