My Top Five: Places I Want to Visit

There is so many places I want to visit around the world but obviously money pays a big factor in this but here are five of the top places I would like to visit.

(These photos are not my own)

1. Tokyo
I really want to visit Japan for so many reasons and before you say Disneyland is there of course this is one of the reasons I want to go but not my only reason.

One of the main reasons I want to visit Tokyo is because of the culture, history and shrines. There are a lot of amazing gardens, buildings and history what I would love to go and explore some of the architect is just amazing and beautiful.

Obviously with being a massive lover of Hello Kitty I would love to be able to visit a Hello Kitty Cafe along with seeing the Studio Ghibli Museum. Fashion is another thing I would love out there but I don't have the right size to be able to purchase anything apart from tshirts and maybe dresses.

Not forgeting to cross of Disney from my bucket list ;)

2. Florida
Disney Disney Disney, Universal Studios, Bush Gardens, Sea World, Space Kennedy Centre, Jungle Island, Lowry Park Zoo and so many more things I would love to visit in Florida.

But the main reason for my visit would be Disney World and Universal Studios for the Harry Potter Wizarding World ;)

3. Australia
So Australia is somewhere that I would like to go for a long period of time to travel around the whole of it. Do a few days here and a few days there as it is such a massive place and such a long plane flight that you would want to make the most of it.

To narrow it down as there is so many areas to visit I would want to do all the touristy things but one thing I would most definitely want to do is visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and hold a Koala bear as they're the cutest things ever and to visit a zoo to see the kangaroos and joey's.

Freakshakes at Patissez in Canberra would be another thing I would love to try and do as they look incredible they have just started doing similar things in the UK but these in Australia look amazing!

4. Amsterdam
Amsterdam is another beautiful city that is full of culture and history that I cannot wait to go and explore with my mum. My mum has been there before and I think that's where I get my lust to travel there from.

I really want to go and visit the Anne Frank museum that is there as I am a lover of history and I read the Anne Frank diary when I was younger and found it really interesting. There is so many other museums that I would love to visit like the Van Gogh museum and the Amsterdam Dungeons which is like the London Dungeons.

When my mum visited last time she brought back this amazing chocolate/caramel drink called Chocomel which I will have to bring loads back and I want some clogs!!!!!

5. Italy - Venice
I've never been to Italy at all but my dad has been so many times to Venice that after seeing all his photos its made me really want to go. Especially during the carnival season as the costumes and masks are just beautiful.

Another city that is beautiful and full of loads of amazing architect plus the city is on water? What else is there to like? A gonadal ride along the streets would be very romantic.

My Top Five: Places to Dine Out

Thought I would stray away from movies this week and get on to one of my other loves in life ... FOOD! I just love food they say you either eat to live or live to eat and I definitely live to eat.

1. Ed's Diner

I am an Ed's addicted where ever there is an Ed's Diner I will be there especially if I am in London to see a show or for a day trip. 

They always do the most amazing milkshakes especially they're Nutella one which is to die for. Usually when I am there I will have one of they're burgers with sweet potato fries but on my last trip I swapped them for bacon cheese fries which were incredible and the pulled pork burger!

2. Chiquito's

I love Mexican food and a lot of people would probably moan about me liking they're food as its a chain or what not but I don't care I've always had great service and the food has always been great.

They do the best Chimichanga and Burritos with of course sweet potato fries ;) they have just released a new menu which I haven't managed to try yet but by looking at it it looks very yummy with lots of new foods on the menu. 

3. Hobgoblin

So unless you live in Bristol I'm afraid you won't know this place but seriously if you happen to stray in to my neck of the woods then seriously check it out! 

This pub used to be a complete dive but it got taken over by a new owner and transformed in to a great new place that sells burgers/drinks (by the end of this post your see a theme here) but what drew me to this place was the "Dirty Fries" which is essentially a big basket full of chips, pulled pork and 3 different types of cheese melted in to a massive gooeyness! Who doesn't like cheese and pulled pork?

They also do some pretty awesome burgers as well which with me being a bacon and peanut butter lover "The Wrong Burger" was just for me.

Just writing this and I'm having dirty fries withdraw symptoms!

4. Spitfire BBQ

Sorry guys another place that your only going to be able to try if you come to Bristol but if you love Ribs then this is the place to go! The sizes are huge like we ordered a medium rib and it was massive and we ended up taking a lot of it home with us cause it was too much too much to waste ;)

These are some of the best ribs I have ever tasted and I don't think anywhere will even come close to these as they're so thick and meaty with pork belly as well and the meat just falls right of the bone!

5. The Burger Joint
I love a good burger and what drew me to this place was that you create your own burger by filling in a tick sheet with what you along with sides as well. They do a variety of meats not just plain beef or chicken.

I had a venison burger which was cooked perfectly and my partner had a buffalo burger and by the time we had finished we were full to the brim.

My Top Five: Movies

Now this is a hard one for me because I love a lot of films so narrowing it down to my top five is very hard some of them might be collections of movies like the Harry Potter series or Hunger Games. I'm not going to include any cartoons or Disney Movies as these are ones I'll do in a separate post.

1. Harry Potter Series
I couldn't pick a single Harry Potter movie to choose, I am actually re watching them at the moment and how many times I've gone "Oh this is my favorite one" then the next movie starts and I'm like oh but I really like this one!

I have to say I watched the first 4 movies before reading the books but then with the 5th book I read this before watching the film. There is only one Harry Potter book I have never read and that is the "Goblet of Fire" because I over watched the movie so many times I got bored and couldn't bare to read the book!

I will say that out of the whole series I love "The Order of the Phoenix" and "The Prisoner of Azkaban" the most followed by "The Goblet of Fire"

2. Lord Of The Rings Series
Another series because once again I couldn't pick out of all 3 which one I love the most, I am a massive Lord Of The Rings nerd and know the movies of by heart after watching them probably 15 times Whoops!

I remember seeing all 3 of these in the cinema with my dad and my brother and falling in love with the story from the first movie with such an excellent cast, director and story what wasn't to like?

My favorite characters are Aragon and Legolas <3 they're the perfect bromance and I totally ship them!

3. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Now if I love Lord of The Rings of course I'm going to love The Hobbit well especially as Martin Freeman is playing Bilbo Baggins and the fact the director actually waited until he was free to film this movie as that's who they always wanted to play him!

Now you might ask why I haven't picked the whole series? Well because I didn't actually like all of the 3 films I only liked 2 of them. I think the 1st installment was the best out of them purely because they kept to the story and followed the book. With the 2nd film they started to add bits and stray from the story line before on getting back on track for the final installment which I did really enjoy.

4. Breakfast At Tiffany's
The first time I watched with movie was when I was in New York on our final evening before coming home and since then I have fallen in LOVE with Audrey! I've always known who she is as she is an icon all over the world but after seeing this movie that was it.

What I love about this movie is obviously its set in New York but mostly Audrey she was such a kind, lovely, funny girl. She plays the role so well and the way she comes off in all her movies. Her voice as well I just love it!

5. Divergent
Now this was a tough one between the Hunger Games which I LOVE and Divergent because they're both such good movie series. They're similar in a few ways regarding the storys but different in so many other ways.

So far I have love'd both of the movies with the 3rd one coming out in March I am a little worried how good its going to be but the new trailer released a few days a go looks amazing. I love the relationship between Beatrice and Tobias and the way it develops through the 1st two films.

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.
