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 Enchanted light up Rose; both from Primark.

Moving on to the kitchen brings us to my favourite cupboard: the Disney mug cupboard. Yes, there is a whole cupboard dedicated solely to our collection of Disney mugs. I must admit that this cupboard is quite simply our pride and joy. The mugs are mostly from the Disney Store with the odd one bought over in Disneyland Paris and we even have a Peter Pan mug bought for us as a present from Disney World. With a selection like this – we’re never at a loss for mug choice!


One of the biggest ways I like to represent my love for Disney at home is through clothing. Primark has been a Godsend for all things Disney clothing, from the super soft Stitch jumper to the cute and stylish Mickey Mouse ice-cream cone t-shirt, they have different items of clothing to represent a whole variety of your favourite characters.

Apart from shopping for Disney goodies in the high-street shops and the obvious choices of Disney Store and at DLP itself; I love finding small businesses on the likes of Etsy and Instagram for Disney products and apparel. A favourite find on Etsy was these beautiful Disney prints from BearandLouDesigns. Printed with a matte finish and then encased in white frames, these gorgeous Princess prints bring a beautiful touch of Disney magic to our room.


It definitely wouldn’t be a Disney household if we didn’t own any kind of plushes and we definitely have that covered; ranging from a giant Stitch, Peter Pan and three different Winnie the Poohs that belong to my girlfriend.

The Disney magic is well and truly represented in my home life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From a Mickey Mouse shaped ice tray to a Peter Pan clock; we’ve got it all covered, and writing this blog piece made me realise just how much Disney is in several aspects of my life.


How do you have Disney represented at home? And where are your favourite places to shop for those all important Disney at Home bits?

    We are exactly the same! A cupboard full of Disney mugs but I have to rotate them all every now and then so they all get some love! :)

    Loving the Beauty And The Beast Collection you have!

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...

My Top 5 Attractions at Disneyland Paris

-
As I mentioned in my first post, I have been to Disneyland Paris six times, inclusive of my first trip in June 2016. Thus far, it is the only Disney park I have visited but it’s home for me. Without a doubt, my favourite thing to do is meeting characters. However, attractions are a big part of Disneyland and they are definitely a big part of my trips. Most thrill rollercoasters aren’t particularly my thing – although we do try and give at least one a go whenever we can. The rides I focus on in this post are a mixed bag but are all family-friendly. 5. Pirates of the Caribbean One of my favourite things about this attraction is the completely dimmed lighting of the walkaway and décor that surrounds you whilst you queue. This combination adds to the excitement of the upcoming voyage through to the 17 th century. Once you embark on the journey, you’re greeted with the infamous ‘Yo Ho, Yo Ho (A Pirates Life For Me)’ song to sing along to as you sail through this pirate adventure. ...
