Blogmas Day Twenty Three - Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

-
How are we less than 48 hours away from Christmas?! And how is Blogmas nearly at an end? This whole year, particularly this month, flew by. Although, I do remember January dragged and everyone was complaining about how ‘it’s still January!’

Now, in a blink of an eye - we are at Christmas Eve Eve. How that’s possible, I don’t know. 

Today was spent going to Tesco Extra (yup the really big one) and battling through the crowds of people and their trollies to make sure everything was bought for Christmas Day. The way people act, you’d think the grocery stores were closed until the end of 2018. Although it was still busy, we managed to buy everything we needed successfully. Apart from the mince pies. They were sold out. At this point, I declared that Christmas was cancelled because that’s the point really without the mince pies?!

Thankfully, we diverted to Waitrose on the way home and they had mince pies so I allowed Christmas to continue as normal.

Christmas Eve Eve kind of feels like the calm before the storm doesn’t it? 

Tomorrow I’m getting my hair done (don’t worry the Rapunzel locks are staying) and then in the evening, I will be seeing my Dad’s side of the family.

Then before we know it, it’ll be Christmas Day and I’m literally going to be counting down the hours until I can have my Christmas Dinner. 

So yeah - today is definitely the calm before the storm. That’s why I shall be treating myself by ordering a pizza and relaxing at home because the next few days will be intense and packed full of seeing family and lots of ‘people time’ which wouldn’t be too bad but I’m not a normal functioning human being so my anxiety isn’t best pleased about it all.


That being said, if the next few days are freaking you out too - know that you’re not alone. To quote High School Musical - we’re all in this together. We’ll get through 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
