There’s Been Lots Going on in Efteling!

I’ve just been a little slow to update.  So, in case you’ve missed any Efteling news, here’s what’s been going on!

First off, Winter Efteling has already begun, which means that the Ice Palace is now open for another season.  It looks as beautiful as ever, and here’s a video from Eftelwesley if you need a little reminder of how wonderful it is!

There are a few new additions to Winter Efteling in terms of snacks this year.

Efteling.com

The first being glittery cotton candy (I’m not sure about this one!), hot waffles which are available with hot apple compote, cinnamon sugar, whipped cream and ice cream (yum!) and luxury syrup waffles which you can customise yourself with chocolate and toppings.

Efteling.com

 

It doesn’t stop at the food either; also available is coffee and hot chocolate with a choice of toppings: syrup waffle pieces, a gingerbread man, or marshmallows.  All of these sit on a blanket of whipped cream!

Oh, and on the subject of food and drink, this year’s Efteling mug features Rider Thomas from Raveleijn.

Another addition to Winter Efteling this year is a ferris wheel which can be found opposite Bob in the Steenbokplein.  Last year in this location there was a rodeo moose, so this seems like a much better choice for Efteling!  It looks lovely, and it’s 6 gondolas provide a ride capacity of 24 people per ride.  It will leave on January 31st, so if you want a ride, you have a deadline!

 

Moving away from the park, and the Efteling hotel is receiving a new themed room.  It takes the place of the Northern Lights room on the 8th floor.  The room will be themed around Raveleijn, and the children’s part of the room will be accessible via a secret passageway.

Efteling.com

I’m still holding out for a Droomvlucht themed room!  Although this one looks rather interesting.

Back to the park, and work has started on the next fairy tale in the forest, The Six Swans!  Unfortunately last night some employees reported a gas leak, and it turns out that during construction, a gas pipe has been disrupted.  Oops!  On the plus side, by next Autumn we will have a brand new fairy tale to enjoy 🙂

That covers most of what has been happening over the last month.  If anyone wants to send any photos to me please send them to our Facebook page: Efteling Fans UK, there’s lots more going on over there!

New Additions to Efteling

03 Wednesday Oct 2018

babbelboom, de zes zwanen, efteling, fairy tale forest, sprookesbos

There are a couple of new attractions coming to the Fairy Tale Forest soon!

Firstly, a new talking tree (Babbelboom) will be installed in the forest between the Little Match Girl and the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Art by Robert-Jaap Jansen

This tree will speak directly to visitors in a similar way to the existing fairy tale tree, but the messages will be more personal.  This works from the Efteling app, so visitors wishing to communicate with the tree will have to give permission on there first.  I can’t wait to see it!

Another addition will be a whole new fairy tale!  In fact, it will be the 30th fairy tale to be represented in the forest, with work starting on the construction this October, and the opening being in Autumn 2019.  The Six Swans by the Brothers Grimm is what we have to look forward to, and it will be located between Snow White and Cinderella.  A moat will surround the building, and small children will be able to take a ride on one of the six swans around the attraction, whilst larger guests can view a scene inside of the castle.

Art by Sander de Bruijn

There’s always something new to see!

Little Red Riding Hood recently reopened after a very long refurbishment.  In fact, it was more of a total rebuild!  The new building is now up to modern safety standards, and looks refreshed and wonderful!

Next year we will see the addition of a new fairy tale to Efteling’s fairy tale forest… Pinocchio!  The Efteling Theatre’s newest production also happens to be Pinocchio, showing later this year.  The new fairy tale will be placed between the Red Shoes and Little Red Riding Hood, where an old food counter stands which hasn’t been used for some time (In de Noordpool).

We look forward to it!

I still get a lot of folks asking me what Efteling is.  Well here are some photos of the Fairy Tale Forest (Sprookjesbos).  This is where it all began, although naturally a lot of things have come and a couple have things have gone since the opening in 1952.  Take a moment to enjoy some fairy tale goodness in the form of our Sprookjesbos photos.  Click the image below to have a look:

Sprookjes bestaan!

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 🙂

A while ago, we were asked if we wanted to write an article for MiceChat.com about Efteling.  So of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity!  We asked you all to send us your thoughts on Efteling, and a few of you did, which we included in the article.  Today, it was published on the site, and we’re happy to share it with you now 🙂

With thanks to Keith Gluck and Dusty Sage.

A Couple of Lovely Photos…

04 Tuesday Jun 2013

Tags

doornroosje, efteling, fairy tale forest, langnek, sleeping beauty, sprookjesbos

Two lovely photos were left on our Facebook wall by Mark van der Horst yesterday.

He also left a little message:

‘After 18:00 hours, everything except the restaurants and Aquanura closes or shuts down. But that’s exactly when we love to walk through the Fairy tale Forest. Of course we also love it throughout the normal opening hours, but after that it’s so tranquil and peaceful.

The weather was amazingly nice yesterday, especially at the end of the day when we traveled through the Fairytale Forest, and took some pictures with nothing more than our iPhones.’

We especially love the second photo.  Langnek taking a break after a long day as the sun goes down 🙂
