Blogmas Day Fifteen - What I'd Like To Experience In Disneyland Paris At Christmas Time

-

If you know me, then you’ll know that Disneyland Paris is my favourite place on earth. I’m still to experience a Christmas in Disney (we were supposed to this year but went for Halloween instead. No regrets) but I hope to make it happen one day as nothing would beat experiencing this festive season in the happiest place on earth. For today’s Blogmas, I thought I would talk through some things that I would love to experience in Disney at Christmas time.

A Very Magical Main Street
Walking down Main Street, humming along to the loop and grinning up at the castle is obviously already so magical, so I can only imagine how much more Magical it would feel during Christmas time with garlands and decorations galore. The Main Street Halloween decorations leave me feeling magical and excited, so I know that it would be the same for the Christmas decorations.

Merry Stitchmas
Stitch is my favourite Disney character so knowing that he has his own Castle Stage show during the Christmas period makes me so happy. I’m so disappointed that I’ve never been able to see it, but I’m hoping that one day (perhaps next year?) I’ll be able to experience seeing my favourite blue alien leading his own show and seeing what mischief he gets up to whilst entertaining guests, along with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and more of our favourite Disney friends!

Disney Christmas Parade
Parades are one of my favourite things about going to Disney; especially during a particular season because you get to see your favourite characters dancing along to catchy themed songs with appropriate costumes. Getting to witness the Christmas Parade with lots of favourite characters as they don their Christmas outfits would be so special and would definitely add an extra magical touch to my Christmas.

Characters
As with any other season in Disney, Christmas brings out some special characters for meet and greets. This season has the likes of Marie, Thumper and Miss Bunny all ready to greet guests with a festive cheer. Thankfully, I’ve already met Marie but I love her so it would be great to meet her again. I’ve never met characters like Thumper and Miss Bunny and meeting them for the first time whilst celebrating Christmas would definitely be special.


Christmas time is always a magical time and getting to be in Disney during the season to combine both the festive magic and the Disney magic would be the perfect way to celebrate.
Have you experienced the Christmas season at any Disney park? Let me know!

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
