60 years young and looking more fabulous by the day, now not many folks can say that!

We all look forward to the next 60 years, and are excited to see what they bring!

Also, a new exhibition has been opened by Bart de Boer in the Efteling Museum, which is essentially about the growth of the park over the last 60 years.

Remember, the first showing of Aquanura is tonight, and if you can’t make it to the park, it will be shown live on Efteling’s Youtube Channel.

Happy Birthday Efteling, from Efteling UK 🙂

Only Hours to Aquanura! And Somebody’s Lost Shoe…

At the time of writing this, it is approximately 21 hours until Aquanura’s premiere!  You can watch it live on Efteling’s YouTube channel tomorrow.

By the way, has anyone ever been on Google’s Street View so that they can take a virtual ‘walk’ around Efteling?  It is a little outdated now (no Raveleijn), but I noticed that someone had left their shoe on a table, and I was slightly amused.  Maybe they just wanted their shoe to be famous, who knows.

So, what happened in Efteling today?  Well, this happened:

Someone rocked the boat, literally.  Not sure if it could have been an accident, but with that in mind, it does beg the question…Who on Earth would want to fall into that water?

Moving on…check out the Ephemera page, I’ve added a few old park tickets for you to have a look at 🙂

We were sent a link to Attractions Management’s interview with Bart de Boer recently, and it is a very good read!  For anyone not familiar with Efteling, it provides a good insight into the park, the company’s values, and its constant expansion.  As you may already know, Bart de Boer is the CEO at Efteling, and can be found on Twitter, tweeting about all things Efteling.

Interview here.

 

Thank you to Jaap Meeldijk for sending us this article!

It’s not all fun and games here at Efteling UK.  Laaf Link is outside in the hot sun sawing away at a tree while everyone else sun bathes.  Maybe someone should take him out a cold drink.

Meanwhile, the DVD of this turned up the other day.  We shall give it a watch and let you know how it is, if you’ve not seen it already.

Only 7 days until the big 60 year celebrations and the opening of Aquanura!

Join us on Facebook to share the joy with other Efteling geeks 🙂

The other day we told you about the updated Efteling Web Shop, and now the Efteling site has also been given a new look!

Also, the opening of Aquanura is ever closer!  Here is a video of Efteling’s new presenter for their YouTube channel, trying to fill up the Vonderplas again.

 

I realise it is in Dutch, but you get the idea!

We’re having them right now.

So it was decided that we should put some Efteling music on and pretend we are in our happy place!  In particular, Droomvlucht.

Hopefully the Dream Flight music will brighten your day a little 🙂

Thank you to all our Facebook followers, all 65 of you, it is nice to have so much support for the site, and we hope that our following continues to grow!

Only 12 days to go until the big 60th!

Back in the summer of 2007, Dutch violinist André Rieu filmed a DVD called André Rieu in Wonderland at Efteling.  It was filmed outside of the Efteling Theatre, where a large planter previously stood with a mermaid in the centre.

Different sections of the DVD were filmed around the park, including at Fata Morgana and at the Little Match Girl building.

Here is an article about the park and the filming of the DVD which is quite interesting; however please note that some of the information included is now outdated.

A Shiny New Webshop!

You may remember a while ago that I was ranting about how Efteling only shipped from their web store to Holland and Belgium.  However now they appear to ship throughout Europe, hooray!  So postage is seen on the table below.  If you are outside Belgium and the Netherlands, the cost is at the bottom there:

 Mailpiece Netherlands (fits through the letterbox) € 1.99 Post GB
 Package Netherlands (does not fit through the letterbox) € 4.99 Post GB
 Kiala Netherlands € 3.99 Kiala
 Cash mailpiece Netherlands € 1.99 + € 10.00 UPS
 COD parcels Netherlands € 4.99 + € 10.00 UPS
 Package Belgium € 6.99 UPS
 Kiala Belgium € 5.99 Kiala
 COD parcels Belgium € 6.99 + € 10.00 UPS
 Package Europe € 12.99 UPS

Ok, so it isn’t the cheapest, but it isn’t too bad either; and it gives you an excuse to buy lots to get your money’s worth 😉

Also, the store has had a facelift, as mentioned in the title of the post.  It has a much more ‘Efteling’ feel to it, and is cleaner and brighter looking.  Oh and also, you can choose from different languages at the top!

Ok folks, get buying!
