Plaza Gardens Character Breakfast - Review

-

Character meets and breakfast food? That’s a winning combination, right? Well, it was for me anyway and that’s how Plaza Gardens in Disneyland Paris won me over.

I’d heard a lot of mixed reviews about the Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens, so on the last day of our most recent trip, we decided to try it out ourselves.

Similar to our experiences at the buffet style dining at Agrabah, you pay as soon as you get to the restaurant and once you’re seated at your table, you’re free to roam the restaurant to get as much food as you could possibly eat. Challenge accepted.

Food
As I said, it’s breakfast food so you can’t really go wrong, can you? From scrambled eggs, beans, bacon and sausages to pastries, pancakes and waffles galore; you are definitely not short for choice on what to have. As it’s a buffet, you could be completely tactful and try different things each time you refill your plate, or you could completely love the scrambled eggs and just get that both times you go up, like we did…
If you’re not overly hot on a big breakfast, you could always go for the option of toast, cereal, fruits, fresh juices or head on over to the hot drink maker.


Characters
So, if you know me, you’ll know that I absolutely adore character meets and as I’m fairly new to character dining (Inventions being my first experience), I was still quite nervous about how the whole experience would go and whether or not I’d have a mouthful of toast as a character approached me. Thankfully, I didn’t have to worry about that and I got my moment with all the characters (Mickey, Daisy, Pluto, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet). The characters take their time to come over to each table (with three taking one half of the restaurant and three taking the other half and then swapping over to ensure everyone got their chance) and pose for photos and personally, it was particularly special for me getting to finally meet Piglet who is my favourite of the 100 Acre Wood gang.



 If you’re a fan of Character Dining experiences or even if you just want to try something that you don’t normally do, then I would highly recommend trying Plaza Gardens for yourself and forming your own opinion on it!

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
