My Top Five: Disney Character Interactions

Hello Hello Hello! Can you believe its nearly the end of January already?

I'm having some serious writers block so thought I might start doing a weekly post called "My Top Five" where I will pick a topic each week and write my Top Five this will help you to get to know me better and it keeps my blog active when having writers block.


Today's Topic is DISNEY character interactions!!!! Now this is a toughie cause I have had so many great character interactions so narrowing it down to 5 of my favorites will be hard.

1. Minnie Mouse - New York Hotel - February 2014
(I hate this photo as I'm tired and hungry from the flight)

So for very obvious reasons this has to be my 1st Top 5 as Minnie was the first Character I met at Disney with it being my first ever trip. We had only been in the Hotel 5 minuets and there she was walking through so we had to stop and pay a visit!

2. Marie - Main Street USA - December 2015

OK now Marie is someone I've wanted to meet for so so so so long and usually this pretty lady is only out during Halloween season but for some reason this year they extended her stay to Christmas. So when I saw her name on the programme I was over the moon and to the fact that I was actually first in line to meet her on my 1st day in the park haha!

3. Pinocchio - Cafe Mickey - December 2015

I cannot believe this happened usually in Cafe Mickey you meet the classics like Mickey, Minnie and so on its actually very rare to meet anyone else you when you do its great. My whole holiday I had wanted to meet him but it was our last night in the park and when he walked through the door I screamed like a little kid!

4. Thumper and Miss Bunny - Main Street USA - December 2016


These cheeky bunnies were another character meet and greet I was really excited about as once again they're usually only out during Swing In to Spring season and sometimes at Christmas. When I walked over to them Miss Bunny was right in there looking at my ears and telling me how much she loved them when in the meantime Thumper was trying to steal them from me cheeky boy!

5. Chip n Dale - Main Street USA - December 2015


I love these two cheeky chaps and every time I go to Disney it is one of my goals to get a photo with these two. Last time I only managed to meet Chip as Dale and Pluto were too busy chasing each other but this time I managed to meet them both <3

They have to be one of the funniest interactions to have in the park due to they're cheeky nature, I loved the fact that they hugged my partner when I was passing my phone to the CM and then followed up with a group hug before they got really excited with my ears and Disney Vans.

2016 Plans so Far!

OK so when I actually started writing this I named it "2015 Plans so Far" so that just proves even 20 days in and Im still not used to it being 2016. Last year just flew by in a flash and it was filled with so many great memories and adventures,

Wonder what 2016 will bring? At this moment in time I don't have a lot planned but I do have a few things planned and a few things in the pipe line if all goes to plan.

5 Year Anniversary
I can't believe in less than 2 weeks me and my partner Joel would have been together for 5 years, it has honestly flown by and feels like we have been together forever. We have had our ups and downs but we have got through them and especially since moving in together things have gotten much better.

Were not doing nothing massive but we have both taken a few days off so we can relax together and were going to head to bath to the best Italian there called Sotto Sotto which is rated number 1 out of 438 restaurants. I'll be sure to review once we have been.

The Vamps Tour
OK so I am 23 years old and yes I know the Vamps boys are like 20 years old and when ever we go to a gig apart from the parents looking after they're children we are the oldest ones there hehe! Not that it bothers me at all cause I love they're music and I'm not afraid to say it!

Were seeing them in Birmingham and staying over the night in a hotel which means only one thing shopping and food is a must. When ever me and my best friend do anything if there is an Ed's Diner near by then we must stop by and have a burger.

Disney On Ice Anniversary
Last year as you know I went to see Disney On Ice for the 1st time in Birmingham with my best friend (Samiee by the way shes the one I everything with hehe) and it was incredible and we decided that we would go and see the next one and funnily enough not long after I got an email with a pre release offer for the Silver Anniversary Show which this time is in Cardiff which is way better for us.

Once again we managed to get amazing seats only a few rows from the front and this time its going to include Lion King, Peter Pan with Tinkerbell along with Frozen, Little Mermaid and the main gang again.

Emma Emma Emma!
Who said you can't make friends online? Well you definitely can, I met the most amazing person called Emma on Instagram over our mutual love for Disney and Sims wasn't until last October that we really got talking and started to have facetime chats every so often.

I am gutted that she lives 4 and half hours away in Carlie but that doesn't stop us as she is coming to stay for a few days in April and I cannot wait!!!!

Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary and my 25th Birthday
If you haven't gathered by now I am a massive Disney freak then well I don't know hah. I've been to DLP (Disneyland Paris) 2 times now and I cannot get enough and I am not bothered that it isn't Florida or California I have plenty of time in my life to go there and its going to cost a lot of money so for now I am content with DLP.

Next year they are celebrating they're celebrating they're 25th Anniversary from the 12th April 2017 on wards, hopefully it will be the same as they're 20th and it will last until the end of 2017 and on in to 2018. So my plan is as I'm 25 years old as well that I would make a special trip for my birthday. I am hoping to go with the above Emma and we have already planned so much I cannot wait just need to wait for final costs so we can put down our deposit!

Family Holiday to Newquay/Christmas In Northern Ireland
This year we are going on a family trip down to Cornwall over the May school holidays and this will be out first holiday together in over 10 years. We are staying in a Caravan in a holiday park and there is so much to do but also in the surrounding area. Literally everyone is coming so it makes it even better!

Thinking about Christmas already? Yes I know but when you plan to travel you need to think of these things way in advance with booking holiday and flights but this year we are planning to go and stay with Joel's parents in NI which will be great to see all his family and friends again.

In the Pipe Line:

  • Aladdin in theater
  • Visting another Instagram/Facebook friend in Bham
So what are your plans for 2016? Cannot believe were halfway through January already!

Tsum Tsum Collection Update

I finally now have over 100 Tsum Tsums and I am very pleased with my collection so far even though there is still so many I would like especially some of the collections from Japan.

Its scary to think that overall I have spent £357.50 on Tsum Tsum before taking postage in to account which is scary because that could pay for half of a trip to Disneyland Paris or something else of course haha.


Most of my collection has been brought from Disney direct or from Clintons, I don't but from from Ebay at all as they often sell fakes or it is actually hard to tell if they are real or not. A lot of them come with key chains which are the ones I do not like so would rather wait and get them off a proper Tsum Tsum seller online or from Disney or Clintons.

My Collection:

I started my collection on the 19th February 2014 when I got my first 5 from Paris and my mum ordered me the Cheshire Cat from Japan. On October 6th I posted a Tsum Tsum update and my collection stood at 67 Small ones and 1 Large one and since then to this date nearly a year on I have ...

Small: 104


Large: 1


I'm so excited that I managed to get hold of the Lion King Tsum Tsum collection for the January Tsum Tsum Tuesday as I just missed out on getting these in Paris as they were released the day I left which was annoying :(

This month they released they 4 different collections:


For once Disney actually released Oswald, Classic Minnie,Valentines Day Mickey and Minnie separately instead of in a collection box like they usually do so I managed to pick up Oswald!.

I really want the Valentines Day Chocolate Box which is actually a re release of Japans collection from last year which was on my wish list but I'm short of money this month so maybe if it goes in to a sale I can get it later in the year.

I'm so jealous of Japans Valentines Day collection his year as it features Tramp and this is the first hes been seen! And I really want Chip and Dale from The Year of the Monkey collection :(


My Top 15 Favorites:

This is a really hard decision to make as they're all so cute teheh, but I have narrowed it down out of my 105 down to my 10 top favorites!

1. Bing Bong - Inside Out Collection 



2. Chip N Dale
Ok so maybe doing these as pair is cheating but they're a duo so they have to be together ;)


3. Winking Marie



4. Sleeping Dumbo



5. Cheshire Cat - Alice in Wonderland Collection (Japanese) 



6. Sven - Frozen Collection (Japanese)



7. Olaf - Frozen Collection (Japanese)



8. Nana - Peter Pan Collection



9. Lumpy - Winnie The Pooh Collection



10. Donald and Daisy
Ok so another pair I am cheating on but they are a couple ;)


11. Gus Gus - Cinderella Collection



12. Baymax and Armored Baymax


13. Duffy and Shellie May



14. Flounder - Little Mermaid Collection



15. Lotso - Toystory Collection



They're all so cute in unbelievable, I am still missing a few from some of the collections but due to the costs I am having to only buy the ones I really want to get.






So here is my collection! How big is yours and what are your favorites?
Happy Monday Immy! xoxox

Top Movies of 2015

So this has become a regular thing for me to do every year now, so I thought why not let this be my first post of the year.

There have been some incredible films out in 2015 which I have managed to watch at the cinema but last year I didn't manage to go to see as many films as I usually did due to being busy and money costs.

But luckily some of these films are slowly making they're way on to Netflix, Amazon and Now TV. I have a list of about 30 I still want to see at some point so when they're out I shall make my way through the list.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
OK so I am a newbie to Star Wars I am one of these people that have never watched it and only watched it a few months ago because my boyfriend wanted me to. I am going to be honest they're good but I wouldn't rush to watch them again.

But as for The Force Awakens ... oh my! It was incredible and moving forwards I could be a massive fan of the films!










2. The Peanuts Movie












3. The Good Dinosaur
Talk about emotional? I could have easily cried in this movie at least 3 times and seemed really emotional and complex for a children's movie but at the same time the story was incredible and very powerful.









4. Ant Man












5. Ex Machina
















6. Inside Out
This has to be one of my favourite movies from 2015! Bing Bong Bing Bong!!!!












7. Jurassic World












8. Avengers Age of Ultron










9. Cinderella
The Disney live actions movies have always been very good but there is that bit of you that worries with how many they are releasing at the moment whether they will be that good.

Cinderella was exceptional and Lily James makes the best Cinderella and I think that is what makes the whole movie.










10. Insurgent










I am gutted that I haven't managed to see the new Hunger Games yet with Christmas and going on Holiday I have been a bit short of money. If its still in the cinema maybe ill go in the new few weeks if its still on.

Whats you favourite movie from 2015?
