What A lovely detail with the writing in the mirror! It says: "Don't look back over your shoulders too often. be proud, look forwards, and you won't age a day!
Loved seeing the on-site hotel. Whenever I travel for a park, I always try to stay onsite if there is an onsite resort. It just adds so much to the experience to just be able to walk in and out of the park throughout the day, and just be enveloped in the park atmosphere. From what I've seen, efteling is definitely a destination park! Thanks for showing so much of the park over this series of vlogs
I worked at this Efteling hotel between 2001 and 2003. I cannot believe how much has changed. So much renovated and refurbished. The dining hall, bar and room is totally different
Seeing all the extra details they didn't have to spend extra to do is always amazing especially living in a country of Merlin theme parks, really shows that Efteling is art, not just a business for profiting off
Such a beautiful hotel. We are in Bosrijk which is equally lovely! Danse Macabre looks spectacular and can’t wait for tomorrow’s opening. Enjoy your stay!❤️
I always enjoy your theme park videos, I've watched all your Efteling ones, Blackpool and of course my second favourite, after Efteling, Portaventura. Being a lot older than you I did the American disney ones, Busch Gardens, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Univeral etc in the late 90s/2000+. You and Charlotte make a brilliant team and I wish you both every happiness, I do hope Charlotte feels better soon as I was sorry to learn of her back problem.
Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Efteling in The Netherlands with a stay at the beautiful Efteling Hotel! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😃😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Charlotte and Shawn in Efteling makes me so incredibly happy! Can’t wait to watch later. Are you here for the opening of Danse Macabre? Enjoy your stay guys! Edit: just started watching and YES you’re here for the new attraction, whoohoo!! Have fun guys!
The translation: 'Don't look too often over your shoulder, be proud, look ahead, and you won';t become a day older' (normally the 'too often' part would be at the end of the sentence in english, but this is more in style with dutch grammar and keeps the rhyme)
When we went in March, it was Snow White in the restaurant and there were dwarf statues just outside, so I think they must rotate the fairytales. I love that you can see Pardoes in the evening and Rider Thomas and Red Riding Hood at breakfast
Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Sandbrooke. It’s nice of you two to head on back to Efteling for the media launch of Danse Macabre. Their park hotel looks very stunning!! 🤩🤩🤩😍😍🏨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I saw you today at Baron 1898. I work at Efteling. I saw you were vlogging so I didn't want to bother you, but I love your video's! Keep up the good work!
The corner rooms got nice themas. Every corner a different one, like a room just as the fata morgana with a wirlpool or the flying dutchmen. Sometimes the show all the rooms.
Nothing makes me feel old like hearing something built when I was in my 20s called "older." lol Seriously, though, great vlog as always and can't wait to see the new attraction, especially since one of my favorite bands did the official music video for it!
Looking forward to the vlogs guys. I actually saw an Ad for Efteling on the back of a bus here in Chelmsford, Essex. I've never seen ads for theme parks abroad before here in The UK, makes ya laugh how they make the effort to get us over there, but we don't see anything from the likes of Merlin on our buses for our own parks.
Welcome back to Efteling Shawn & Charlotte. I'm looking forward to seeing you back on the refurbished Droomvlucht and Piraña (which now also has a cool new merch shop) and of course hearing your thoughts on experiencing Danse Macabre for the first time. Efteling is still fine-tuning it, but fingers crossed you have a great first ride. Hope you have a wonderful time! 🐈⬛🎻💀
Those rooms are so nice with all the little twerks, in some rooms they have the mice peeping trough a hole in the wall. Knowing from these statues it’s a bit funny that in the park you have the big diorama behind the carrousel that is having a real mouse problem that is making havoc in the diorama scenes, we call him Mousilla . If you have the possibility one day, you should stay in one of the themed suites or ask if you can have a look in them as a vlogger, if the can they wil let you. They are amazing and of the best themed suites of any themapark in the world. Have fun looking forward to the next vlogs from over there thanks for sharing.
Amazing to see you back at Efteling! Im staying at the hotel in January just a few days before it closes for the refurbishment. Will we get a big vlog of your three days there? I hope so as youre my favorite themepark vlogger! (And when Efteling Grand Hotel opens will u also stay?)
I stayed there back in 2022 during the parks 70th anniversary and its as beautiful as you said it was. But it was very hot at the time when I stayed there. Also experienced Spookslot as it was fair to do so before it became Danse Macabre. Also, I was learning Dutch for a year and a half prior to the trip and it paid off, and currently learning more for the next one next year as I plan to stay in the upcoming Grand Hotel.
The 'Theming' box below the sink is for shorter persons to stand on and be able to reach the sink. And the ground floor of this hotel will be refurbished soon.
Sean how do you travel to the park if you don't mind me asking. Im looking at visiting from the UK next year sometime for a couple of days and trying to work out if its best to fly/euro/ferry and then getting to the park? Would love a vlog on your bests tips for visiting europe parks from the UK as would love to tick a few off next year. Great content as usual, love to you and Charlotte x
In the beginning of next year the mainfloor gets a refurbishment. The entrance will be switched towards the park and the bar will be gone. They will also add a new room with a spaceship kind of look. Because it is a floating hotel.
The bar in the hotel is the go to meeting spot for subscription holders, a lot of them actually head to that bar after park closure so if you ever feel like socializing with Eftelingfans that definitely is one of the go to spots. Unfortunately this bar will be disappearing with the renovation in 2025.
The mouse is a so called Anton Pieck mouse. They're Efteling classics, you can find them all around the displays in the fairy tale forrest. Try to spot them, it's fun.
Dutch people drink their tea out of a glass mug 🇳🇱 coffee is out of the ceramic ones… as a kid it was easy to see who was drinking tea or who was drinking coffee 😜

@@ThemeParkWorldwidecongratulations on 4000k subscribers yay
11:07 Charlotte's face lighting up when she sees Pardoes brought a smile to my face as well. Truly is "The legend himself".
It was wonderful to see him in the lobby!

You should definitely buy the mouse statue, this is an exclusive souvenir that only hotel guests can buy!
That’s awesome. Love the little details like that!
Love all of the little secrets in the room. Really shows how Efteling go above and beyond with the theme park experience.
It’s wonderful. The smaller details are fantastic!

It really is a beautiful place
Efteling is ultimately owned by a nonprofit foundation aimed at promoting nature, sport and leisure.
@rmyikzelf5604 Ooh I didn't know that
Ohhhhh we love you Shawn and Charlotte!!
Best TH-cam channel of 2024 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Thank you Shawn and Charlotte for the best video of the Efteling yet. Look forward to tomorrows offering.

It’s a beautiful place!
Spending the night here with family / loved ones, in peak autumn, one does not need to sleep to dream 🍂.

The mouse is hiding from that cat lamp lol Very nicely themed room for the park.
Love it!

Box under the sink is for kids to stand on when they are washing their hands 😉 😊
That’s awesome!
@ Efteling thinks about everything so amazing 🤩🤗
Have a great time guys, looking forward to seeing the park.

We had a wonderful trip!
Looks like an awesome hotel can't wait to watch because I know it will be a great vlog from you and Charlotte keep it up 😊.
Thank you! We’ve got so much coming up!
Woah the outside of the hotel has a very unique design on the outside. Hope you guys have a great time out there in the Netherlands.
It’s a beautiful design, really quirky!
It's supposed to look like a floating 'skycastle' (Luchtkasteel, which is an expression in Dutch meaning something unreal, something you dream about)
Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Sandbrooke. It’s nice of you two to head on back to Efteling for the media launch of Danse Macabre. Their park hotel looks very stunning!! 🤩🤩🤩😍😍🏨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The park i grew up with, really nice vlog .And you two on top of it with the opening of the new ride 💪

I was going to translate the mirrored text, but hey, I found someone else did it excellently already
What a awesome video enjoyed this thank you
So excited for these vlogs, we're going to Efteling for the first time next year!
Thank you!
Great Hotel 🏨 Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte
Hi Mr and Mrs Sandbrooke. Love a good HELIX, ty for the videos.
Plenty of them coming up this trip ☺️
Nothing makes me feel old like hearing something built when I was in my 20s called "older." lol
Seriously, though, great vlog as always and can't wait to see the new attraction, especially since one of my favorite bands did the official music video for it!
Thank you!
Enjoy the stay and Danse macabre!
8:36 it translates to Don't look over your shoulder too often, Be proud, look ahead en don't age a day.

That's interesting, it's possibly due to proximity to Stansted as you can fly from there to Eindhoven (nearest airport to Efteling) I think.
Efteling are starting to advertise more in the UK now!
Efteling inspired Disney it's one of the best parks
The Dutch are great engineers
Thank you for this video!
I have always wanted to see inside that hotel. Wonderful video ❤❤❤
It’s wonderful
Hearing that the hotel is old, being built in 1992, has never made me feel so old 😂 Beautiful looking hotel though. Great theming.
It’s a really nice building!
Beautiful hotel. My favourite was the theatre themed bar.
It’s really nice in there!
Hi to both of you, never heard of this theme park before. Sounds interesting.
It’s a beautiful park that we would definitely recommend visiting!

So want to visit here one day!!
It’s a beautiful park
Good time for Halloween and that hotel is beautiful
It’s a really nice hotel
Stayed at Loonsche land is wonderful. Stayed there last year
Definitely on my list!
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Thanks!
The sofa lamp in the room is very ‘Potter-ish’!!!
Love it
This looks cool wow
It’s a beautiful hotel
Thanks for the ongoing content! Will there be new Planet Coaster 2 videos once the game is out in a week?
Thank you! We have a new Planet Coaster 2 series on the way!
16:15
Spookslot 😢
I guess in Danse Macabre it’ll also be 12:00PM.
I’d say so!
My Granddad and great Uncle went on Python in their 70's. My Oma and his sister egged them on whilst they sat and had coffee!
Thanks for sharing!
are you going to visit the halloween events in toverland and walibi also?
We won’t be this time, however we did them last year and really enjoyed them!

Fly to Amsterdam or Eindhoven, then either rent a car or take public transport. Euro/ ferry can make sense depending on where you live.
We have filmed some travel vlogs in the past with details on how to get here!

Don't look too far over your shoulder, Be proud, look ahead and we're not a day older
The boots are from "puss in boots".. you can see the paw trail on the floor walking away.
That’s awesome!
Is Charlotte's back getting better? :) awww cute mouse behind the bed lol
It’s getting better but still not quite there yet!
Nice in the neverlands looks like Harry potter room I can't sleep in a soft bed I needs lots off pillows plus a double bed
It’s a wonderful place
@ThemeParkWorldwide I hurd is I has never been tulips 🌷 that flower In the fields spring time people say is fantastic
How did you get there this time? Public transport or did you drive your own car?
We flew into Amsterdam and had a shuttle provided by the park
The mouse is a so called Anton Pieck mouse. They're Efteling classics, you can find them all around the displays in the fairy tale forrest. Try to spot them, it's fun.
Thank you for sharing!
Using Dji pocket its a good camera I’ve just bought action 4 it’s super good better than GoPro imo
They are great!
great video, as always 😊
Thank you!

@ happy to share 🤗 I never realised it was a Dutch thing until I moved to 🇬🇧😂,
🏤What a fun magical hotel 🐀
It’s awesome!
Hi Shawn and Charlotte! How’s your trip to my country?
We love The Netherlands!
We al know what this means. You are ate the opening of Danse Macabre
Of course!
Is there a travel vlog for this Efteling trip?
Not for this one was we travelled out as part of a group press trip!
👍
Should try Halloween theme in black park
I quite like how they don’t do Halloween here. It wouldn’t really fit with the magical fairytale style of the park!
Hoping to hear Dance Macabre by Ghost
Came here to say this, every time they say it, my minds like 'you'll soon be hearing the chiimmee after midnight!' 😂❤
It’s a beautiful ride!
8:36 ; "Don't look back over your sholder, be proud, look forward, and you won't age a day.
Thank you!
Can Charlotte go back on rides now hope her back better x
Thank you!
Translation of the text in the hotel: "don't look over your shoulder too often. Be proud, look ahead and don't grow a day older"
Did you fly to eindhoven
We didn’t this time but would do normally!
Apparently cobra at Paultons park is closing on the 7th of September 2025.
It’ll be reopening
Great hotel, looks nice! But why does Charlotte keep Efteling swearing, she’s got a right little potty mouth 😂
Oh dear 😂 Thanks for watching!
What was your best about the hotel
The room was lovely
Hi
Enjoy the vlog!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide yesss !!!!!
It's Danse macabre.. it is pronounced 'dance-mah-cob'.. there is no "ra" at the end. It literally means the dance of death
So excited for it!
I Like 👍 To Hotel 🏨
