Disneyland Paris 12th February: Shopping Haul

I cannot believe I am back from Disneyland Paris after my short weekend trip and I thought that I would start my series of posts of with my haul. I am actually really surprised at how little I brought this trip even though I still managed to spend a lot, we all know how expensive Disney is!

When I went to Disneyland last September I decided that I would start collecting pins so on this trip I decided I would buy a couple more. Most of the pins I saw this time were the same as before apart from a few exceptions like the two Rapunzel pins which were a must buy for me as last time they didn't have any of her. I also got the hotel Santa Fe pin but they didn't seem to have any of the hotel New York ones so I am hoping that maybe they will be back in stock.

I had to pick up these 3 cute Tsum Tsum Aristocat toys because I didn't manage to get them in the UK because I was short of cash and I knew these would come available at DLP but I was so lucky to find these in the parks so good job I did.

Tower of Terror is my FAVOURITE ride and when I stumbled across this key ring I just had to buy it although apparently its been out in the parks before and I have just missed it on my previous trips. I love that it is the room key from the story and its big enough for me to find in my bag which is also perfect.

I filled up my photo album from my September trip with photos from 2014, 2015 and 2016 so I thought with having two trips this year I would buy this super cute 2017 album with Sorcerer Mickey on the front with a few rides in sparkly lights on the front. I also love the inside of the album as the print is so cute.

Last thing I picked up was this super cute tin with the new Disney print on which was released last September and because I missed getting it on my last trip. I brought this so that I could put my pins in it until I have collected enough to make a pin board but for now it contains all the little sweets that came inside which taste amazing!

So this is everything that I brought on this trip and I have to say I was slightly disappointed with the range of merchandise available as I couldn't find a few things that I wanted or it was just the same stuff as before. We are all hoping that the stock levels are a little poor because they are getting ready for the 25th Anniversary which I have seen a preview for and it looks amazing!

Disneyland Paris 17th September 16: Shopping Haul

I cannot believe its been nearly 2 weeks since my day trip to Disney and Disney Blues have settled in that's for sure especially when you've only gone for a day. To me it seemed totally bizarre and worse off than not going because I'm used to having 5 days in the parks rather than the 1 but I did have the most amazing time and managed to pick up some great goodies so lets take a look what I brought!

New 2016/2016 Disney Parks Range

Can we just take a moment to appreciated how beautiful this new collection is? I'm not 100% sure if its new merchandise for the anniversary or just whether they fancied a reboot but we shall see come April next year. Either way I love this range as you can see I brought a few bits from it and could have purchased more.

1. Disneyland Paris 2016 Photo Album (€16.99)

I have been dying to get a photo album from Disney ever since I went in 2014 and I stupidly didn't get one and then in 2015 they didn't have any so when I saw this one I had to have it and as it fits 200 photos inside it was perfect for 3 trips so far.

2. Disneyland Paris 2016 Photo Frame (€12.99)

As I think I've mentioned about 100 times since my 2014 trip the aim was to get a photo frame every year I went and in 2015 they didn't have any as for some reason they sold all of the stock and started stocking 2016 stuff before November so here I am with this years frame luckily!

3. Disney Parks 2016/2017 Mug (€12.99)

I always bring back a Disney mug, glass or some sort of bowl and after seeing this on somebody's vlog before I went I knew I just had to have it. This collection is just so beautiful I love the overall style as well as all the characters enjoying the park but most of all all the rides in the background hello Tower or Terror and the castle of course.

4. Disneyland Paris 2017 Calendar/Desk Version (€9.99 each)

Everyone needs a calendar in normal and desk form of course! What I love about this one is its in the same theme as all the other items as well as having a count down to the anniversary plus who doesn't want to look at Disney all day sat at they're desk??

5. Disney Parks 2016/2017 Shopper Bag (€4.99)

I purchased this in between the Studios and the main park on one of the little stalls. I hadn't seen this version around I had only seen the one from the old Disney range and with having so many bags of shopping I thought it would be useful to put all my stuff in together which also made it easier on the coach so we didn't loose any thing!

6. Christmas Decorations (€9.99 and €12.99 but €6.99 with offer)

How cute are these? Now I love Chip N Dale they are my boys and the funniest character meet I have had so far so when in the Christmas shop and I spotted the decoration on the left I just had to get it as a little memento from my trip. Then when I got to the till I had spent over 25 euros and the women offered me the cute Chip N Dale macaroon decoration which I didn't pick up last year so obviously with just meeting them again I had to get it!!!!

7. Disney Pins (Varied depending on Colour)

As also mentioned in another few posts that I have always picked up the pins and then put them back down but this year I finally decided I would get a couple. Shame I didn't start back in 2014 as I've missed out on some I really would have like but oh well I ended up getting these 3 ...

9. Beauty and The Beast/Marie Tsum Tsum (€5.99 each)

I love collecting these little balls of fluff but over the last couple of months I haven't really been all that bothered with the Tsum Tsum Tuesday because its become so bad with orders being cancelled and people missing out that unless its a collection I REALLY want I would rather wait for the Clinton's release. I did manage to pick up Belle and Beast which were the only 2 I wanted along with the new DLP exclusive Marie and she was the only one left!!!

10. Marie Shaped Pen (€5.99)

Along with the super cute Marie I got this amazing Marie pen as well. They are so hard to write with but I just love the way they look. Last time I got Sorcerer's Mickey maybe I will get a different one each time.

14. Goofy Sweets/Disneyland Paris Sweets (Various Costs)

I can never not come away from Disney without purchasing some sweets and chocolate especially the Goofy Sweets because they are the best and French Haribo are way more better than the UK fact! I really loved the Disneyland Paris Castle chocolate that I brought but it melted slightly hence why I didn't take a close up photo.

So this is what I brought and concludes my September 2016 Day Trip series. Cannot wait till my next trip in 4 months and 12 days (February 2017) which will be during Season of the Force cannot believe I actually will get to experience it even if for one day!

July Favourites

I haven't done one of these posts in agesss and never really got in the habit of doing them every month but as I happen to have done a lot of shopping this month and a lot of them are my favourites I thought why not and with the first week of August nearly over I thought I better press on before its too late!!

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Ever since the screen play was announced I have been eager to see it in London but with money being tight for the rest of the year I was over joyed when JK announced she would be releasing the script as a book I couldn’t wait.

I managed to get my copy on the release date with pre ordering through via Amazon Prime but as I have been so busy I have only read the first act and impressions so far good. It’s great to get to read about my favourite witches and wizards one last time.

Aristocats Phone Case

How beautiful is that phone case? Just a perfect mix of everything I love and adore.

Loungefly Alice In Wonderland Bag and Purse

With both of my Disney trips happening this year and next year I decided that it was time to invest in a Disney backpack. They just seem so much more easier to carry around and they don’t get in the way when your taking photos. After a seller on Amazon started selling these I was finally able to get my hands on the items I have been eyeing up for the last few months.

Baymax Instax Album/ Alice In Wonderland Instax Film

I just had to get these cute Instax items for my trip next month. One being from Ebay only costing £3 which is a bargain and the 2^nd from Etsy.

Totoro Plush/ Sailor Moon Cup

Both items spotted on my trip to Hyper Japan and were immediate must haves especially the Totoro plush as the style was super cute and the material and posture matched my existing one.

Pocahontas Socks

Anyone who knows me knows that its Pocahontas for the win and the fact that Primark does Pocahontas socks????? Like what??? I just had to have them maybe this is more of what’s to come? PJS? Tops that would be amazing!

Pocahontas Glass

I’m just a sucker for mugs and glasses and when I saw this vintage glass especially relating to my favourite song “Mine” from the movie and it was in the sale as well it was a no brainer.

Disney Plaques

I have been searching for some Disney plaques for a while now and not finding any at a reasonable price or quality I had given up until I came across Pink Dinosaur Crafts on Instagram who upcycle old Disney books in to notebooks and plaques. They now look perfect hanging above my desk in my office to finish off the empty space I had on my wall.

Disney Jumper

Another item purchased for my trip next month. As we will be travelling via coach over night to get there and back it makes sense that I need something to keep myself warm and what better item to have! Only £10 currently at Primark as well it was a bargain.

Monsters Inc Tsum Tsum 

Need I say no more? I had to have these in my collection and as the last few collections released haven't been super great quality and the hassle people have been having trying to get hold of them I was really pleased when they came.

Hyper Japan July 2016: Haul

So as you're all see from my previous post I went to Hyper Japan over the weekend in London so I though I would do a little post for you all of what I brought. As mentioned most of it is candy and snacks. I found a lot of the stalls there were over priced but they all had a variety of different items which was great.

So first stop and where I spent about 70% of my money was Tofu Cute. I have been a massive lover of them for a good few years now when my love for everything Asian began and I was so glad to see they were making an appearance this year.

First of all for £15 I picked up the smaller of the 2 snack lucky bags that they do, these come in a cute draw string bag blue for snacks and pink for plushes and cute things.

In my small bag I received 8 items and was really surprised that I actually received a drink as I thought it would have been included in the larger bags but win win aye. As they let you pick at random a bag you would like I was really happy with my choice as it included items that I hadn't even tried before.

It meant I was able to try Matcha for the first time and to my surprise it was ok I wouldn't personally go out of my way to buy it but if some one had given me some I wouldn't say no.

As well as having they're normal Kawaii section they also had a food festival area and a shop which was just full of different snacks and drinks obviously we made a B line right there after and picked up all of the above for £31 which I don't think is too bad considering the cost of postage you would pay if you brought it anywhere else.

I have been so excited to try Ramune for ages and have been close to ordering it online for a while but with Hyper Japan looming and Tofu Cute being there I decided to hold off although now I want to order more in different flavours. We went for Blueberry and Strawberry and they both tasted amazing and what is even more amazing in the unique bottles they come in with the glass ball at the top.

I have to admit we did you tube how to open a bottle of Ramune as we had no clue and I was surprised at how big the bottles were as I imagined them to be smaller. Essentially this is just a fizzy flavoured drink but it tasted amazing they were so sweet and a lot of fun to watch when you release the glass marble.

I'm a massive lover of chewy candy and one of my favourites are Hi-Chew especially the Grape flavour which you can see I did buy some but also luckily got some in my lucky bag but I have been wanting to try some chews from Puccho and I am so glad I did!

I picked up 3 different packets Assorted Fruit, Cola and Soda flavours. They're slightly different to Hi-Chew candies as these have a gooey centre and chewy candy pieces which  I didn't realise until we started eating them. Out of the three Soda was my favourite and since receiving different Soda treats in my Tokyo Treat boxes the flavour has become one of my favourites.

Of course I couldn't not pick up any Pocky it just has to be done especially when there is limited edition summer flavours on offer. We picked up Orange and Coconut then Joel wanted to get some Almond Crush ones.

All three of these flavours are amazing, especially the Almond and Coconut ones because the biscuits have little bits on them which makes them taste even more amazing. I'm not sure I would buy the orange ones again but the other two I defiantly would.

Moving away from food I came across a stall next to Tofu Cute called Dreamy Bows and they basically sell the most Kawaii stuff you could imagine from dresses to shoes to anything Kawaii for sure. They're also a Sailor Moon merchandise seller and have a wide range of items.

The first thing that caught my eye was this most beautiful cup there was 6 to choose from but I went for the cute pink colour with cute design rather than choosing a character as at the moment I am new to watching the show and only really know Sailor Moon.

Last but not least I couldn't not get a Totoro, I had seen a few whilst walking around but it wasn't until we reached up stairs and came across a stall by the website Otaku which sell a variety of Asian goodies.

On a massive stand they had a huge collection of Ghibli plushes and I could have easily brought them all but I refrained myself and got this one because he was super cute with his big wide mouth and teeth showing! Joel also picked up the Splatoon Artwork book which is in Japanses and hasn't been released in the UK yet which is pretty cool.

So that's what I picked up from Hyper Japan last weekend. I haven't really got much planned now until my Birthday in 52 days and then Disneyland in 56 days <3

Disney Haul

Its safe to say my suitcase coming home was rammed so rammed that I had to leave my handbag behind, good job it was a cheap bag I brought on purpose for this holiday!

Everyone loves a good haul especially when its a Disney Haul, I am quiet happy with all the stuff I managed to get there was a few items that I really wanted but weren't currently in stock or for example the Lion King Tsum Tsum came out the day I left which I was gutted about :( Ahh well they are out in January anyways.

Just by looking at the above photo you can see I ended up buying a lot of sweets and chocolate hehe!

Milka and French Haribo are a must buy when in Paris, people thing I am mad obsessing over the French haribo but they are just way better than any you will get in the UK by far. 

Last time I visited I didn't pick up any of the Mickey and Minnie biscuits but after hearing how amazing they are this time I thought I would give them a go.

With it being Christmas now I was looking at all the Christmas decorations they had to offer and there was tons of them I could have brought so many more than I actually did but the issue was getting them home.

The ginger bread collection is just the cutest so these were a must have along with the bowl, I was going to get the pluses but they were smaller than I imagined and the only two I found weren't that great :(

I am a Vinylmation and Tsum Tsum collector but I have to say this trip I was a little disappointed with what was on offer. I managed to get hold of one of the Park Favourites and Peter Pan Vinylmations and the Shelia and Duffy Tsum Tsum but was kinda hoping for more.

How cute is Remy? It took me so long to actually find a cute looking one!

I love collecting commemorative coins to do with places I've been so when I saw these around the parks I had to pick a few up, obviously I had to get the Ratatouille one <3

On our last day we ended up going to Val D Europe which is a massive shopping center about 5 minuets on the RER and it has over 150 shops and an Aquarium which was amazing filled with so many amazing fish, sharks, turtles, Nemo and Dory of course anyways back on track ;)

I ended up going in to this shop called Undiz and they just sell nightwear, bras and underwear so I had to take a look and I came across the most amazing Disney Villains nightwear <3 really check them out they have some amazing stuff.

I hope you liked my Haul, more Disney posts still to come. Back in work today and suffering with Disney Blues but I brought some Disney with me to work hehe!!
