5 Things Disney Park Goers Are Sick of Hearing

-

Being a frequent visitor to a Disney Park means you’re often met with a lot of the same comments from people about how often you go, money, etc etc. If you’re anything like me then you’ll be sick of hearing the same old thing, so I’ve compiled a list of the five things that all Disney Park goers are fed up of hearing…

How do you afford to go to Disney all the time??
I think a misconception a lot of people have of Disney goers is that each time we go; we stay in the most expensive hotel, have the most expensive of foods and buy everything we can get our hands on. However, this is not the case at all. Firstly, being an annual pass holder already means I’m already saving money on park entry. Secondly, every DLP trip I do, I always stay at the Ibis Budget. You can read more about how I do Disney on a Budget here but the point is – Disney can be done without breaking the bank. At the end of the day, a person’s money is their money. It’s nobody else’s business as to how they spend it.

There’s more than just Disneyland out there
We are completely aware of that and whilst there is so much in the world I want to see; there’s only so many places I can afford to go to. Disneyland Paris is a place that makes me completely happy and when I can afford to go there at a reasonable price – why shouldn’t I take the opportunity to visit my happy place and escape into the Disney Magic?

Don’t you get sick of going to Disney all the time?
The simple answer is, no. As I mentioned, Disney is my happy place; the place where all my worries and stresses seem to disappear, and the Disney Magic takes over. Everyone has something that makes them happy and visiting Disneyland Paris happens to be one of mine so surely it makes sense to get that magic fix as often as I can?

Isn’t Disneyland for Kids?
I’ve done a whole blog post about how Disney is for all ages but putting it simply; you don’t have to be a child or an adult taking a child to be able to go to Disney. The beauty of Disney and its Magic is that it is timeless; it doesn’t go away because you are no longer a child. I didn’t start visiting Disneyland Paris until I was in my 20s and that magic is still completely alive; no matter your age.

It’s just another theme park.
Okay, so for a lot of people, a Disney Park is just another amusement park where they can experience fun rides and have a thrill-seeking holiday. However, for a lot of us, Disney Parks aren’t just theme parks. They are, quite simply, the most magical place on earth where we can feel happy and care-free. It’s our home away from home.


These are all things I’ve taken from personal experience – things I’ve heard countless times and I’m frankly fed up of! Are there things that I’ve left out that you’re sick of hearing? Let me know in the comments!

Never Grow Up

-
From the ‘Isn’t Disney for kids??’ remarks to the raised eyebrow looks you receive from some people when Disneybounding in Disneyland; one of my biggest pet peeves is being told Disney isn’t for you because you’re no longer a child. Most people I’ve come across have thankfully been quite the opposite to the above statement. However, I know this isn’t always the case as the concept of ‘Never grow up’ seems to have gone over a lot of people’s heads. Let’s start with the films. Animation, singing and princesses? I can already hear the scoffing coming from those who would argue that these are marketed towards children. The sheer hard work and imagination that goes into making such films were not just created with the intention of only being viewed by children and those that take them to see these films. The beauty of Disney movies are that they are universal. The detail that goes into the animation, the thought that goes into the messages the films portray and the time that goes i

Why I Love Disneyland Paris

-
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I like to visit Disneyland Paris as much as I can throughout the year. I am planning on visiting the other Disney Parks (that’s something for a whole different post) but Disneyland Paris will always be home to me. I love DLP for a whole array of reasons and one of them is most definitely how easy it is to get to my favourite place. Living in London means that it just takes me one tube journey to get to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar. We’ve even been lucky enough to get a direct train to Disney on occasion. Coupling this with staying offsite in the close by Ibis Budget (In Val D’Europe) and having Annual Passes, our visits to Disneyland Paris are more affordable – and leaves us with more money to spend in the shops! From the moment I step off the train in Marne La Vallée and walk the short distance towards the magic; I’m instantly transported into the bubble of Disney. This is only heightened when I finally make it into the park for the first

Disney at Home

With Disney being such an important part of my life, and with frequent visits to Disneyland Paris, it’s only natural that Disney is incorporated into various aspects of my home life. In October of last year, I moved into my own flat with my girlfriend and our best friend. Having a whole place to ourselves meant we were free to furnish it how we please, and obviously that had to include some Disney magic sprinkled around the flat. Our living room is home to our beautiful dark wood bookcase, in which the middle shelf is home to our growing collection of shiny o-ring DVDs. Thus far, we have 32 in our collection that sit underneath a bed of Tsum Tsums. On top of the bookcase sits two of my favourite purchases we’ve made whilst in Disneyland Paris: our working Cogsworth and Lumiere figurines. These two items are quite pricey so we saved up for them and purchased both on two separate DLP trips with the aid of our Annual Pass discounts. Alongside them sits our Mrs Potts moneybox and
