About us
Welcome to DLP Explorers! How nice that you are curious about the faces behind our website. We are Dean and Lander, two huge Disney fans who decided to share our passion and adventures online in early 2024.
We both have had the Disney virus since childhood. Our shared passion for the parks, the films and the magic was the perfect basis for a close friendship ánd this project. Since our first trip together to Disneyland Paris, the spark has never left us and we can be found there about 6 to 8 times a year. Not just to enjoy ourselves, but also to discover the most beautiful spots for you, to capture the atmosphere and to check out all the novelties.
After much dreaming, planning and building, we launched DLP Explorers on 1 February 2024. Since then, our mission has been to share our love for Disney with as many people as possible.
What can you expect on DLP Explorers?
At DLP Explorers, we naturally focus on our second home: Disneyland Paris. We would like to help you on your way with all practical information and the latest news for your trip. But above all, we want to inspire you and let you dream away with atmospheric updates and our most beautiful photos.
Happy reading!
Greetings, Dean & Lander
Who is Dean?
Hi, Dean here! As the founder of DLP Explorers, my camera is my best friend in the parks. I have a huge passion for photography and love capturing the atmosphere, emotion and little details that make Disneyland so special. I really am a 'go with the flow' type, I can wander around for hours looking for the perfect picture or spend an entire afternoon watching shows. For me, Disney is pure emotion and I hope to share that feeling of 'coming home' with you through our website.
Favourite shows & parades: 'Mickey and The Magician', 'Dream... and Shine Brighter!' & 'Disney Tales of Magic'.
Favourite seasons: Both the 30th anniversary and the 'Disney Enchanted Christmas' season!
Favourite Disney Hotel: Disney Newport Bay Club
Who is Lander?
Hey, I'm Lander! I am the planner of the two of us and enjoy diving into the details to get the most out of each visit. I find out the best deals in advance and make sure we have a good schedule. My passion lies mainly in the overall experience: the unique atmosphere of the different hotels, the theming in the parks and all the little things that make a stay unforgettable. Our annual 'Disney Staycation', where we visit all the hotels, is therefore my favourite week of the year!
Favourite attractions: Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean & The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Favourite Disney Hotel: Disney Newport Bay Club
Favourite Disney Characters: Goofy & Mickey Mouse
