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!

Little Red Riding Hood Receives Major Makeover

Roodkapje is getting a makeover!  Well, her Grandmother’s house is. SAMSUNG DIGITAL MOVIE

The cottage which has stood in the forest since 1960 was constructed using wood, stone, cement and gauze, the same materials used to build the original Sleeping Beauty’s castle.  In the 1980s, Sleeping Beauty’s castle was completely replaced, in the same way as Red Riding Hood’s cottage will be now.  At the time it was reconstructed, Ton van de Ven took the opportunity to add the wicked fairy with her spinning wheel, as well as a few other details, thus ‘plussing’ the attraction.

The time has come for the Roodkapje building to comply with today’s standards, and it is being completely replaced using modern materials and techniques.  Who knows, maybe there will be a little something added to it when it reopens?

Efteling has stated that fairy tales ‘remain the core’ of Efteling, and renovating these attractions which are already well established and loved shows the dedication that Efteling has to the oldest part of its park.

Hopefully Red Riding Hood is in a safe place while building work is carried out, since she is a favourite of local kidnappers!

At Night in Efteling…

During the night, the fairy tales continue!  There are a few night-vision videos of Efteling residents running around in the accommodation grounds whilst all the guests are fast asleep.  Not a shock, of course, to see the Sandman awake and busy at night, but apparently the rest of Efteling’s inhabitants don’t need much sleep either.  Here’s a couple below; you can find more on Efteling’s YouTube channel.

We’re stuck in January, and Efteling news seems to be a little slow.

So here’s a little injection of happiness for you all, thanks to a handful of Efteling characters.

Shampoo Review!

Hey, that rhymes!  Sorta…

'Poo

So we bought some shampoo from Efteling’s web shop.  It was so good, we’ve actually bought it more than once!  Last time, we even bought some shower gel too.  You can get 2 shampoos, and 2 showers gels, which seem to be tailored to both boys and girls.  For the boys, Dragon shampoo and Wolf shower gel; for the girls, Cinderella shampoo and Red Riding Hood shower gel.  They smell great, are free from too many nasty ingredients, and are priced nicely at 2.50.

The Cinderella shampoo smells a lot like a berry yoghurt and the Dragon one smells a little like apples.  We aren’t sure of the connection between the smells and the characters, but presumably nobody would come near you if you smelt like fire instead of apples!

We give these products 5 Pardoes!

Wat Als…/What If…

We posted one of these videos a couple of weeks ago, but now there have been a few more!  They are only around 10 seconds long each, but they made us giggle, especially the mushroom one 🙂  For those of us who do not speak Dutch, here is a rough translation of the titles:

What if the Wolf had no point in eating Red Riding Hood?

What if all the Red Shoes were dancing?

What if there was music from all mushrooms?

What if there was no paper for Holle Bolle Gijs?

This could go on forever!  What if all donkeys popped out gold coins?  What if all mirrors talked?  What if Langnek got a stiff neck?

Brothers Grimm Statue Unveiled+ 200,000th Pancake is Made at Polle’s Keuken!

Today was the day!  A statue to commemorate the brothers Grimm was unveiled by Little Red Riding Hood in Efteling.  We believe it to be situated near the other statues, next to the Chinese Nightingale building.  Last December marked 200 years of Grimm fairy tales, and with 15 of the 28 fairy tales in the forest at Efteling being Grimm stories, it is of course a perfect choice to have the statue there!  The photo comes from Efteling’s Facebook page, but we hope to see some better photos popping up in the near future.

In other news, pancakes!  If you come here often, you will know how much we love to talk about pancakes, and today is one of those days.  Apparently yesterday marked the birth of the 200,000th pancake at Polle’s Keuken.  Now, that does seem to be an awful lot of pancakes, but don’t shoot the messenger; n fact, that works out to almost 548 pancakes a day…Looks like we aren’t the only ones who love a good pancake after all!  Thinking about visiting Polle’s Keuken?  Take a look at the menu below, just give it a click!

Product Review: Red Riding Hood Bathrobe

efteling, efteling uk, efteling web shop, red riding hood robe, review, roodkapje

This is a short review of the adult Red Riding Hood Bathrobe from the Efteling Web Shop.  Let me start by saying that this is more of a dressing gown than a bathrobe, because the material wouldn’t really absorb much water; it is very soft and fluffy, though.

You can get children’s robes and adults robes, they are exactly the same.  There is also a Dragon robe available.  They come in a strong zipped plastic bag with handles, which is cute.  When ours arrived, some of the white frill material from around the hood was hanging off, but it was nothing a couple of stitches couldn’t fix.  During wearing the robe I have also noticed that the blue sash is coming away a bit at the edges.

On the up side, however, it is very warm, and the hood is big.  Like, you could probably fit 2 heads in there, if you had 2 heads…It also has a little loop in the neck so that you can hang it up.  It is longer than it looks in the photo that is on the site, and comes almost to knee-length on a person of average height.

All in all, not too bad for €24.99.

We give it 3 Pardoes!

When Roodkapje Went Missing…

We’d heard about this a long time ago now, but didn’t want to share it until we remembered where we’d read it!  In honesty, it was on Wikipedia, and we know to take that info with a pinch of salt, but we want to tell you about it anyway!

Back in 1998, Little Red Riding Hood disappeared one day, and turned up the next day at the Dominicus Church in Tiel, which is less than an hours’ drive from Efteling.  While Roodkapje was having fun in Tiel, an actress played her part.  But her travels did not end there!  In 2006, Little Red vanished and turned up later in a Kaatsheuvel retirement home…
