If you have ever stayed at Bosrijk, you will be familiar with the option to have breakfast.  You can choose to have it on any morning of your stay, and it costs 15,50€ per adult and 7,75€ for kids between 4 and 12.  If you don’t want to pay that much for breakfast every day, the store at Bosrijk’s reception sells bread, cereals, milk etc so that you can make your own.DSC_0387

The breakfast is a buffet, with the usual offerings.  You’ll find breads, cereals, various meats and cheeses, eggs and bacon, juice and yoghurt as well as coffee and various teas.  You’ll also find the best egg warmer you’ve ever seen:

There are seats inside the building as well as outside and in the conservatory.  If you get a chance to have breakfast here, it’s definitely worth it!

Old Efteling Video…

…From the 80s/90s?

Of course, some things never change, but look, where is the House of the 5 Senses?  You can also see rowing boats outside Fata Morgana; and do you remember when the Kinderspoor (pedal trains) were located near to the Laaf Village?  Pardoes can be seen wandering around a lot in this video too, he’s changed quite a lot!  The Laaf village looks very much the same as it does now, which is good and bad, as this is one of the areas we’d most like to see given a new lease of life!  Oh and also, there are fireworks!

efteling poster, efteling uk, firebox, instagram, products

A while ago, (ok, last Christmas) we got ourselves an Efteling poster, made from our own photos!  All you need to do is upload the photos you want in the poster to an instagram account, and then choose the ones you want to use.  The size of the poster depends on how many photos you choose, but in our opinion, the bigger the better!  Click here to go over to Firebox.com and check it out.  You can also create coasters and other cool things.

Our Poster

Our Poster

Excuse the reflections on our poster, but trust us, in real life it looks wonderful!  Of course, instagram is famous for its filters, but if you don’t want to use a filter, you can upload the photo without.

For the best quality, we advise that you use high quality photos to avoid pixilation.

If we can’t get Efteling posters from Efteling, we shall create our own!

Droomvlucht Gets Cleared Out!

As many of you know, the Dream Flight is closed for a few months while it gets what is appearing to be a massive overhaul.  Some photos have emerged which show the Zomp Forest reduced to a pile of rubble (apart from the trees) and our illusion of floating castles is ruined forever!  On the bright side of course, the whole place is getting a new lease of life which it has needed for a little while.  Apparently, there are going to be subtle projections added into the attraction; and Efteling fans across the land are still waiting patiently to see if anything is done to make that queue a little nicer!

Take a look at a couple of the photos on vijfzintuigen.nl by clicking here.

Droomvlucht is due to reopen on December 13th, for those of you planning a trip.

We can’t wait to see the finished product!

Cardboard Models of Efteling Buildings

06 Friday Sep 2013

card models, efteling, eftelinguk, scale models, souvenirs

About five years ago Efteling park shops were selling paper cut-out models of four buildings from the Fairytale Forest. From these you could assemble replicas of Hans & Grietje huisje (Hansel & Gretel house), Kabouterhuisje (Gnomes house), Paleis van de Fakir (flying Fakir) and Kasteel van Doornroosje (Sleeping Beauty castle) all to a scale of 1:30.

Models

They did not seem to sell well, which was a pity as they could be made up into attractive, colourful models. The castle, in fact, was far more accurate than the ceramic version that is now on sale. I think that the problem was that although they would obviously have appealed to children, these models were probably too difficult for a young child to build. Also, the building instructions were poor, and the fit of some parts could have been better, even though the artwork was very good.

Disney had a similar experience when, many years ago, they sold a cut-out model of Cinderella Castle. This proved to be too complicated, and if the builder made a mistake the model could easily be ruined. It was quickly withdrawn from sale, and surviving copies are expensive.

I still think that there is room for some well designed paper models of Efteling landmarks. Think of a large paper model of the Fata Morgana building, or Villa Volta or (more difficult) the House of the Five Senses. Some of the Disney fan websites have made available for download some wonderful paper models of Disney castles and park attractions. Surely there is a graphic artist out there somewhere who could do something similar for Efteling?

 

With thanks to David. H.
