‘Efteling is Magic’ by Verity

A few words by another Efteling fan that I wanted to share.  Very straight to the point, and true!

Hmm… What to say about Efteling…
Efteling is magic. Even now. Even after 17 years, the magic never dies. There’s always something new to discover, something hidden to find, something magic to appear. That’s the thing about Efteling. It changes, but remains the same. There’s a permanent magic that surrounds it, even before you get into the park. The addition of Raveleijn, the stunt riders and their raven steeds. My new all time favourite thing at Efteling. It’s amazing. That’s it. Nothing else. Just magic.

Verity, 17.

This is why we love Efteling too; ‘It changes, but remains the same’.

In this weather, you may want to have a few hot drinks to keep you warm.  Although you will find lots of hot chocolate and coffee in Efteling, Bosrijk has some very nice alcoholic coffees.  They even come with an Efteling chocolate!  They do seem to be quite strong, so maybe have one later in the day 😉

SAM_0264Here is the price list, though it isn’t very cheap, it is definitely worth it:

Fairy Tale Ideas…

brothers grimm, efteling, efteling uk, fairy tale, magic porridge pot, porridge, sprookjesbos

There is always a lot of discussion amongst Efteling fans about which Fairy Tales they would like to see in the park.  There is a lot of choice, if you take a look through the stories of the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen, and those are just the tip of the iceberg!

However, one that we have been thinking about (particularly in this cold weather!) is The Magic Porridge Pot; also known as Sweet Porridge.  It was recorded by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th Century.  Here is the basic story (taken from Wikipedia):

There was a poor but good little girl who lived alone with her mother, and they no longer had anything to eat. So the child went into the forest, and there an aged woman met her who was aware of her sorrow, and presented her with a little pot, which when she said, “Cook, little pot, cook,” would cook good, sweet porridge, and when she said, “Stop, little pot,” it ceased to cook. The girl took the pot home to her mother, and now they were freed from their poverty and hunger, and ate sweet porridge as often as they chose. Once on a time when the girl had gone out, her mother said, “Cook, little pot, cook.” And it did cook and she ate until she was satisfied, and then she wanted the pot to stop cooking, but did not know the word. So it went on cooking and the porridge rose over the edge, and still it cooked on until the kitchen and whole house were full, and then the next house, and then the whole street, just as if it wanted to satisfy the hunger of the whole world, and there was the greatest distress, but no one knew how to stop it. At last when only one single house remained, the child came home and just said, “Stop, little pot,” and it stopped and gave up cooking, and whosoever wished to return to the town had to eat their way back!   

magicporridge

 

Imagine the fun Efteling could have with magic porridge!  Maybe they could even create a miniature town with porridge running through it…And, how about selling magic porridge for Winter Efteling?

Just a few thoughts that we have been having, thank you cold weather for the inspiration!

 

We would love to hear your thoughts, and what Fairy Tale would you like to see in Efteling?

I’d like to think that we’re all dedicated Efteling lovers around here, but this person has taken their love to the next level; by having a little piece of Efteling inked onto their leg! They picked a really nice design: one of the birds from the decorations outside of the Indian Water Lilies, and it looks pretty good! If anyone else happens to have an Efteling tattoo, we’d love to see it!

On New Years’ Day, the Sandman took a dip in the water at Bosrijk.  Here he is, about to dive in (click for a better look):

TrainIt looks old-fashioned, moody, and beautiful!

Happy New Year!
