Disney Pre Day Trip Movie Marathon

With only a week to go until I am in Disneyland Paris again it is only fitting that on the run up Disney movies are watched as you might recall when I went on my holiday last December I did something like this before which you can read here.

As this is only a day trip I thought instead of doing a whole month of movies I would pick 6 Disney/Pixar movies and watch one an evening before I go. Now I say 6 because I won't be able to watch a movie on the Friday evening we go because I don't get home till 5pm and then I have to get ready and do some washing before we leave around 8:30pm.

So these are my 6 movies;

Saturday 10th September:

Good Dinosaur

Sunday 11th September:

Inside Out

Monday 12th September:

Tangled

Tuesday 13th September:

Zootopia

Wednesday 14th September:

Snow White

Thursday 15th September:

Jungle Book - Live Action

 (Purchasing with birthday money on the 13th)

Most of my movie choices apart from 2 of them are ones I haven't actually watched since they were out in the Cinema or I have only watched once since the DVD release. Snow White is on there because when I went to watch it during my last marathon I found out my DVD was broken so it had to be replaced.

Only a week to go and I'm back home!

Update: Upcoming Posts

Morning everyone how are we all?

I haven't really been that busy over the last months as with it being the start of the year money has been pretty tight so hopefully the new few months will be a bit better.

So I thought I would do a little update post on whats to come on my blog over the next few week and apologies its been very over ran with Disney recently hehe.

Tokyo Treat March Box Review
I'm really excited for this post as it will be my first review and something I am really excited to received. Basically Tokyo Treat are a Japanese snacks and candy subscription service and from what I've seen these boxed contain some amazing things! So more to come on this soon!

The Vamps/Birmingham
Yes before you ask I am 23 going on 24 and I love The Vamps and I'm not afraid to say it my guilt pleasure its like people liking One Direction really ha!

This will be my third time seeing them live now and for this trip as we couldn't get picked up we will be spending the night in Birmingham so were planning to grab some food and do some shopping before the show in the evening.

Disney on Ice Cardiff
Oh dear Disney again sorry guys ;) so after seeing Disney on Ice last year me and my best friend have caught the Disney on Ice bug and booked tickets instantly to they're anniversary addition happening at the end of April so excited as it includes Peter Pan and Lion King!

Meeting Emma for the First Time
So who says you cannot make friends online? Well we all sure know we can and finally in just under 4 weeks I am finally going to meet my best friend Emma for the first time.

After meeting over Instagram over our mutual love for Disney and Sims are friendship has blossomed over the last few months and she is finally coming to stay with me for a few days and I cannot wait we have so much planned its unbelievable.

Interview with a Disney friend
I recently did an interview with a friend of mine called Mike about Disneyland Paris and our love for Disney and he has happily said he would do the same for my blog so this shall be great and something a little different.

Also I was thinking of maybe doing a few film reviews as I've been to see Kung Fu Panda 3 and Divergent Serise: Allegiant but I'm not 100% sure if I will or not we shall see.

So these are a few planned posts I have in the pipeline over the next month or so so please keep your eyes peeled and all the best for now.

Over and out Immy xoxoxo

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!

I want to meet ...

Hi everyone, I really hope you've had a good weekend it always goes to quick and once again here we are back at Monday!

This is my final pre holiday post regarding Disneyland Paris until I am back from my travels on the 4th December and then I will be back with some posts regarding my time at Disney.

I have seen in the last few weeks so many characters at Disney who will be floating around during the time I'm there even though I know this is subject to change there are some people I really would love to meet.

I am really hoping to get the chance to meet Marie she is only ever usually out during the Halloween season but this year they have extended her stay till Christmas which makes me very happy as she is one of my favs! Along with Miss Bunny and Thumper making they're Christmas appearance these two are a must do on my list.

Also having special slots this Christmas is Jack Skellington and Merida from Brave who I would love to hopefully meet along with Mickey and Minnie dressed in they're Christmas gear.

As you will know if you have visited the Disney parks there are sometimes characters just lurking about in each park through out the day and I would love to meet if I have the chance or spot them;

Based on who I've seen about on photos recently:
1. Alice
2. Mad Hatter
3. Tweedle Dee and Dum
4. White Rabbit
5. Queen of Hearts
6. Aladdin
7. Genie
8. Abu
9. Jasmine
10. Timone
11. Rafiki
12. Baloo
13. King Louie
14. Woody
15. Buzz
16. Spiderman
17. Pinocchio
18. Gipetto
19. Peter Pan
20. Wendy
21. Hook
22. Smee

I am hoping to meet Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Donald and Daisy during the Early Hours before the park opens all dressed up in they're Christmas clothes as well as in Cafe Mickey!

I would love to go into the Princess Pavilion but that will all depend on the waiting time as my partner will not want to que. I would love to meet Rapunzel, Snow, Cindy and Anna and Elsa.

Last time when I was in Disneyland Paris I met 8 different characters but this was because it was the quieter season so lets see how many I can meet on this trip and I will be sure to report back once I'm home ;)

Take Care all Immy xoxoxoxox

Disneyland Paris Trip Check List

I really cannot believe that its been 9 months since I booked my 2nd trip to Disneyland Paris, what I am most excited about is visiting during Christmas season. I have been reading up on all the things they do over this festive season and hear there are some new additions as well.

I have made a list of rides and parades that I really want to watch and do, mostly because I don't want to miss anything and some of the rides last year were closed when I went so want to make sure I do these this time around

Rides:

As mentioned when I went in February last year a few of the rides were shut for refurbishment so I want to make sure these are done this time but also to make sure my boyfriend gets to go on the best rides there as he won't want to go on everything unlike me.

Haven't Done:

1. Studio Tram Tour

2. Ratatouille: The Adventure

3. Indiana Jones Rollercoaster

4. Autopia

5. Casey Jr. - Miniature Train

6. Walt Disney's Carousel

7. The Runaway Mine Train, which sadly is going to be missed this time around as well as it is closed like last time although last time it just kept breaking down.

Must Do's:

1. Tower or Terror

2. Rock 'N' Rollercoster 

3. RC Racer

4. Crush Coaster

5. Space Mountain

6. Buzz Lazar Blast

7. Peter Pans Flight

Parades/Shows:

I am a sucker for making sure I see all the parades and the shows that go on at Disney, last year I managed to see them all but there was only 3 I needed to see where as this Christmas there is about 7 of them.

This year there are a few new additions to Disney line up with Frozen Fever making its way back along with the girls making they're royal entrance down main street USA. I won't be making my boyfriend watch the sing along as I don't think its fair!

1. The Disney Christmas Parade: this is going to be so magical and its on 3 times a day which means  

it won't be missed and more chances of seeing it in daylight.

2. Disney Dreams: I loved this last year so will be glad so see this again with the Christmas twist.

3. Disney Royal Christmas Invitation: This is new to the Christmas line up and I'm so excited to get the chance to see this, also showing 3 times a day and hopefully chances to meet them after like with the Halloween Disney Villain special.

4. Mickey's Magical Tree Lighting: Another new addition to the Christmas line up

5. Disney's Magic On Parade: This parade is usually cancelled during the Christmas season but it has been confirmed that this will run this year. As I have seen this before I am not to fussed it I don't make it to see it.

To Eat:

1. Cafe Mickey: As so as we booked this holiday I knew right away that I was going to pre book Cafe Mickey as I ate here last year on the off chance and had so much fun that it was a must do for this trip.

2. Casey's Corner: All I have heard about the last month is how good the hot dogs and hot chocolates are here so the plan is as we arrive late on our first night to just check in and make our way down to watch Disney Dreams and have a hot dog.

3. Cable Cart Cafe: Mums Chocolate cake!!!! 3 words is all I need to say, just hope its still as good as last year.

Things I Want To Buy:

I follow this most amazing group on Facebook called "Disneyland Paris chat group for Brits" where us fellow Disney lovers all join together to chat about planning trips and current trips. I have had so many useful tips and questions answered so recommend checking it out. These photos are taken from the group its self as there is an album of items available at Disneyland.

I am in love this the Gingerbread range available at the moment, I could easily buy it all!

There are also tones of Christmas tree decorations that I would like to purchase for my tree, I know they're available on the website but I want to use my spending money to get some of them. I would love a few of the Princesses along with some others. Baymax, Cinderella Mice and more.

Anyone who knows me knows that Pocahontas is my favourite Princess of them all so when I found out DLP have released a Percy Pug plush this is a must on my list to go with my Meeko!

As well as a MASSIVE Tsum Tsum collector I am hoping I can get my hands on Jaq, Duffy and Sheila as these aren't available in the UK.

Lady and the Tramp stuff is a massive YES YES YES for me!

Also a few other bits I would like ...

I literally cannot wait for this holiday, the new few weeks I hope will fly by. I will be sure to post loads about my holiday and what I buy once I'm back.
