Blogmas 2019 Day Two - Disney Christmas Home Decorations

-

Today is the first Monday of December and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really feeling the cold today. It’s been cold for a while but it’s as though it got to December and the weather decided to get even more bitterly cold and it’s the kind of weather where you literally just want to curl up in bed with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and watch nothing but Christmas films.

For day two of Blogmas, I thought I would share with you some Disney pieces that we have around the flat for Christmas, because would it even be our household if we didn’t combine Disney into the festive celebrations??

Tree Ornaments
One of my favourite parts of getting into the festive spirit is putting up our Christmas tree and decorating it. Over the past few years, we’ve accumulated a small collection of Disney ornaments to adorn our tree. Each year, we’ll buy a new decoration from Shop Disney’s collection as well as picking up one or two baubles or other type of ornament from the likes of Primark.
On one of our first Disneyland Paris trip, we went into the Christmas shop and decided to buy one ornament for our tree to commemorate our trip. If you know us at all, then you’ll know how much we love Peter Pan and we created so many magical memories in Neverland on that trip so of course the ornament we picked was Peter. We’ve had it for a few years now and he always takes pride of place on our tree.
 This year, as soon as we saw the collection of Disney baubles that Primark were selling, we knew we had to pick up a couple for ourselves. Naturally, we chose the Neverland and Winnie the Pooh ones. The design on each of them is gorgeous and I love that they come filled with either snow or glitter – making them even more magical.


This year, our choice of ornament from Shop Disney had to, of course, be Frozen related because of the sequel’s recent release. Again, we went for a bauble design and chose this Olaf one pictured below. It’s a beautiful design and we love Olaf so it’s nice to have him/Frozen represented on our tree this year.
I can’t wait to add more Disney themed decorations to our tree as I’m sure there’ll be plenty more over the years!

Stockings
Yep, we’re that couple. We have matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse stockings because obviously we have to be that cute and extra gay. Who doesn’t love it? We bought these adorable stockings from Primark last year and sit nicely on our radiator beside our tree. It breaks away slightly from our colour theme but they’re cute so we can’t really be mad at it.



Christmas Mugs
Okay, so some may say we have too many Disney mugs and to that I say…probably, but I love our mug collection and it’s not our fault when Disney keep bringing out really cute mugs that we simply must have. Last year, for example, Shop Disney brought out these Christmas mugs and how could we resist?? Firstly, one of them has Stitch on it so obviously I was going to get it and then the other has such a classic Disney design on it whilst spreading Christmas joy so they were clearly necessary purchases. We used them all of the festive season last year and we’re doing the same again this year!




Have you got any Disney Christmas pieces around your home? Let me know and share some photos! I’d love to see them.

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
