This lovely little video turned up on Efteling’s YouTube channel yesterday.  You may have seen these types of videos and photos before; they are called ’tilt-shift’, which makes a real life location look miniature.  Walt Disney World did a few a while back.

Here’s our own example:

And here’s Efteling’s time lapse video:

Did anyone ever notice the drop of blood on Doornroosje’s (Sleeping Beauty’s) handkerchief?  It even has an Efteling ‘E’ on it.  Smart lady.

If you have stayed at the Efteling Hotel, you will have noticed vending machines on every other floor next to the elevators.  We noticed that on the wall next to the machines, was a photo frame that contained a message…

The Message

How cute!  We’d love to know what you win if you find one!

Hidden Faces in The Flying Dutchman

We’d never noticed this before, or even heard it mentioned anywhere.  However, when it was busy and we had to wait in line for The Flying Dutchman, we noticed that the plain walls weren’t so plain!  There are faces there.  We only managed to get a photo of one, but we noticed a couple in the first room you enter.

DSC_0391The other one was slightly different, but they were both subtle enough so that you wouldn’t notice them straight away.  Has anyone else noticed these?

New Aquanura Show with Music Posted Online!

14 Wednesday Aug 2013

Ths music that features in the second version of Aquanura is: By the Sleepy Lagoon (Frog King), Fata Morgana (Harem), Gondoletta , Monsieur Cannibale, The Flying Dutchman, Dream Flight (different from Aquanura version 1), The Red Shoes, George and the Dragon and The Flying Dutchman again.

We love the new music in this one, even though we are still in love with the last one!  George and the Dragon is a particularly awesome piece of music that we were dying to see go into Aquanura.  The ending of this one seems a little less dramatic somehow than the first show which ended with Spookslot, but The Flying Dutchman music is still wonderful.

Maybe they can alternate between shows, so that we don’t totally lose the first one?

This show is set to premiere next year.  If you don’t want spoilers, don’t watch!

It must be new, because we didn’t see it a couple of weeks ago when we were at the airport, but Efteling are promoting themselves at Schiphol Airport until the end of September.  If only we could see an advert like this on UK TV 😉

Random Efteling Observation…

coffee, efteling, fairy tale forest, fairy tales, hot coffee, sprookjesbos, summer, zomer

Saturdays during the Summer in Efteling are very busy.  It turns out that Sundays are also quite busy, because of course it is still the weekend.  The one part of the park that most people seem to head to first is the fairy tale forest, and last Sunday it was very busy in there.  Amongst the biblical amount of mothers with strollers, toddlers running around trying to get a good look at their favourite fairy tales, and older folks trying to get some good photos, there was a man tentatively shuffling through the masses with a tray full to the edges with cups of hot coffee (with no lids on).  Where he had come from, who knows, because he wasn’t walking in, but rather out.

We kind of wondered if he made it to the other end without scalding anyone 🙂
