What I'm Looking Forward To During My Next DLP Trip

-

Hello everyone! I’m finally back after an unintentional hiatus I took from writing and from my blog. As soon as Blogmas ended (yay me for completing it), I ended up taking an unplanned break from blogging. In a way, it was good as it gave me time to brainstorm and come up with new and fresh ideas to present you all with.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearly three weeks into 2019. I don’t know where the time went!

I finally know when I’m returning to Disneyland Paris – 26th-27th February, which means I get to be in my favourite place for my birthday! So much will be happening when I’m there so I thought I would talk you through what I’m excited to fit into a jam packed couple of days.

Festival of Pirates and Princesses
This was one of my favourite seasons DLP introduced and I’m so glad I got to experience it last year – even if it was a short trip. That being said, I was so happy when Disney announced that Pirates and Princesses would be returning from the 19th January to 17th March of this year. With the weather being at it’s coldest at this time of the year, I am concerned at how it will work with the weather conditions but I’m also intrigued to see how DLP will adapt the celebrations to cope with the weather. One of the main things I’m looking forward to about this season returning is the return of the Make Your Choice promenade that sweeps through the Park and through our hearts. With the return of this season also brings the return of the fan favourites – Betty Rose and Jimmy Ocean. This festival allows you to pick your side and join in with the celebrations of Team Princesses VS Team Princesses.

Legends Of The Force – A Celebration of Star Wars
My Star Wars loving heart is so excited that the Star Wars season is coming back but I’d be lying to myself, and to you, if I said the thing I wasn’t most excited for was finally getting to meet Chewbacca. Getting a Wookie hug is a big dream of mine so getting to tick this off my nerdy bucket list is going to make me very happy. As well as the original shows associated with this season that are returning, I’m also looking forward to the new Darth Vader and Stormtroopers Imperial March. I am most definitely (not so secretly) hoping that I get arrested by a Stormtrooper for being Rebel Scum…

Mickey Shaped Waffles
Something that is slowly being rolled out around Disneyland Paris is the infamous Mickey shaped Waffles that are popular in other Disney Parks. As soon as I heard that DLP had started to introduce these fun and tasty snacks – I was excited for my next visit (even though I didn’t have one booked at the time) so I could try one for myself. As well as the waffles, more and more special treats are being introduced in DLP and I can’t wait to get my hands on them next month!

Celebrating My Birthday In Disney
So apart from all of the exciting things happening in Disney, and the usual favourites (Big Thunder Mountain, meeting favourite characters) – I’m so excited to celebrate my birthday in DLP. What better way to celebrate turning 25 by being in the happiest place on earth with the love of your life? It’s going to be a busy couple of days, but I know I’ll have the best birthday celebrations ever! We arrive on the 26th, which is the day before my birthday and we have Inventions booked for dinner for that evening. We’ve only ever done Inventions Sunday Brunch so I’m excited to have another meal there and what’s better than character dining the day before your birthday?


This trip was booked for me for my birthday by my girlfriend and our last visit was October 2018 so although it doesn’t seem like that long ago – I’m excited for us to once again be in our happy place living our best lives!

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. ...
