Disneyland Paris: Christmas Parades/Shows

I've nearly been back from Disney a month now and I have to say I haven't stopped singing "Toyland Toyland and Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa clause right down Santa Claus lane" it probably doesn't help that I've been watching the parade on YouTube about 5 times (Disney Blues :()


During the Christmas season at Disney they do a range of festive parades and shows usually these replace the normal shows that run but this year they decided to keep Disney Magic on parade running as well.

Every year they do a Christmas Parade, Disney Dreams with a Christmas twist and this year they added Frozen Fever, Mickeys Tree Lighting and Royal Wishes. I watched all of these apart from Frozen Fever because I was nice enough to not let my partner sit through that one ha!

Disney's Christmas Parade:
I absolutely loved this parade, I could have easily watched it over and over again especially as they show this 3 times a day. The songs are so catchy and the dancers and characters are great fun, I had some interaction with Tinkerbell which is the only time you really get to see her during the parades which is a shame I wish I had filmed her and it was great!












Disney Dreams: Christmas Edition:
I just love love love Disney Dreams, when I went last year me and my best friend would watch this every night at park closing as its just so magical but its even better with the Christmas Twist!

What still gets me is why Anna speaks French and Olaf speaks English meaning you never hear the full story which is the same in the original with Wendy and Peter haha. I didn't take that many good photos of the Disney Dreams as I spent most of my time filming it.

Once again its a great story with such catchy songs!













Disney Royal Wishes:
Royal Wishes is new to Disney this year and is a bit like the Disney Villains show that they put on during the Halloween Season but the only difference is you can meet the Villains but you can't meet the princes and princess after this show they do a walk by.

Its the story of a Christmas gift given to a boy which then comes to life, the gift is a snow globe which has all the Disney Princes and Princess inside in which once he shakes it they all come to life and its the sweet story of them learning to do the royal dance for a ball.

I managed to get some amazing photos on my Camera of this and some Videos but they were mostly of Flynn and Rapunzel as shes my favorite out of all on stage.











I didn't watch Disney Magic on Parade this year because I had seen it 3 times last year and we decided that during this time we would go to the Studios to try and do the rides that had a long que time during the day. Also I was annoyed that they have cancelled Stars N Cars as this was such an amazing parade with the chance to meet characters at the end!

Now I've done Christmas I would love to try and do the Halloween and Swing In to Spring!

What I Got For Christmas!

Back at work now for 2 days so glad its only 2 days, I had such a lovely Christmas break from work which was great but getting up this morning was definitely a struggle I was looking forward to.

On Christmas Eve I went to my mums for our Christmas eve tradition of watching Scrogged and having a yummy hot chocolate.


Christmas was slightly different this year as me and my boyfriend cooked just for us both this year and for the 1st time ever cooking a giant Turkey but I have to say we did really well getting it cooked to perfection and getting everything cooked on time. We then went over to my mums to see the rest of the family and to do Secret Santa once the kids had open they're presents from me.



I was very spoilt this year got lots of amazing presents from my boyfriend and his family and then my Secret Santa and best friend.












I have been so lucky to receive such amazing presents everyone knows me so well, my dad just buys us a voucher so we can buy what ever we would like. With mine this year I spent it mostly on Box Sets I needed to catch up on,

I brought Downton Abbey season 5 and the Christmas Special, Our Girl, New Girl Season 4, an anime series called Clannad and Inside Out on DVD. I also got myself the new Sims 4 expansion pack Get Together and some Tsum Tsum.



I really enjoyed spending time with my family on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and next year it will be even more different with me going to Northern Ireland to stay at my Partners.






I hope you all had the most amazing Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year! Immy xoxox
