Disneyland Paris Bucket List

There are so many things I obviously cannot wait to do and experience when I go to Disneyland Paris, so I have a list of 5 things I really want to do whilst I am there.

Meet Winnie the Pooh- I love Winnie the Pooh so much and so does my boyfriend so it will be something really special for both of us if we get to meet him. I also want to experience a character meet and greet so this gets both of them done.

Be last on Main Street- I feel like this has become such a trend that people want that perfect Main Street photo after the fireworks have finished and everyone has emptied out and I am no different I want that very special photo, I would also love to be first on Main Street as well but we shall see.

Have a Glowtini- This is something I am going to make happens they just look really cool, I have also looked at what is in it and sounds like something I very much like, however I really want the Tinkerbell that sits on the side of the glass instead of the glowing ice cube.

Watch the parade- I want to make sure I watch the parade at least once whilst I'm there because it's a chance to be entertained by Disney magic and see all the characters.

Immerse myself in the magic- As this is my first trip I just want to make sure I embrace and immerse myself in the magic as much as I can and savour it.

Until next time,

Review: Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella

At the beginning of April on what was our third attempt at booking this show, me and my friend finally saw Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. Cinderella itself a show that has been delayed on numerous occasions due to the pandemic. I love Cinderella it is one of my favourite fairy tale stories and the fact that Carrie Hope Fletcher plays the title of role of Cinderella, I was intrigued what this version had in stall for us. This modern adaptation of Cinderella is created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Emerald Fennell and is set in the town of Belleville which is known for being the most beautiful town. Everyone in the town is epitome of perfection and they loathe anything or anyone who does not fit the norm. Cue Cinderella who is the gothic outlier towards this perfection, losing Belleville the prize for the most beautiful town by defacing a statute of the beloved Prince Charming who has disappeared. Into his shoes comes the awkward younger brother Prince Seba...

Wallace Collection: Inspiring Walt Disney

Earlier this month I booked tickets to see the new Inspiring Walt Disney exhibition at the Wallace Collection in London. This is about how French design inspired Walt Disney in his films especially Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The exhibition is located on the bottom floor of the building, and you can either pre book your slot or pay when you get there. There is also an optional digital tour guide and head set for free, which I did pick up but struggled with the headphones so ended up listening to bits I wanted to as opposed to the whole exhibition. I would recommend picking up one if you have time and you are really interested in the animation side, as they speak to the animators at Disney and how they produced the various ideas for the films. The exhibition starts with a quote from Walt Disney on the wall. It then goes into how Walt visited Europe for holidays and to gather visual references for his films. There was a black and white film of Walt and his family on holiday in P...

Review: Carrie Hope Fletcher: An Open Book

I have been very fortunate to see Carrie perform in an array of shows over time but this is the first time I’ve seen her as herself. I loved the concept of this show that we had to help her finish the script so we were inside her head. Prior to the show there was a link on Carrie’s social media and a QR code at the venue to help choose what stories she told us. Certain stories I think she tells in every show but then the rest are decided by us the audience. I’m not going to spoil anything about the stories or the songs but I loved hearing her sing songs from shows she has performed in and songs that suit the stories, some I knew and some I didn’t. Carrie has such a knack for storytelling and they were heartbreaking and heartwarming. I love how relatable Carrie is as a person and these stories just amplify that with how her thoughts and feelings in certain situations she has gone through in life. I love the intimacy of the staging as well, set up like a room at home and the o...
