Where in the World? – Thailand*
The world is filled with so many “bucket list” places and none more so than Thailand. It’s the ultimate paradise destination and I know people of all ages who want to or who have visited from elderly couples, to families and of course the young crowds who want to experience those epic moonlight parties where your alcohol comes in a beach bucket. In the past Thailand was the true backpacker destinations. It wasn’t commercialised and it was quite difficult to reach, but as the tourist has grown, visiting Thailand is becoming more doable and more affordable which means more people are able to cross it off their bucket list. Today…

What To Do When Your Flight is Delayed*
It’s every travellers’ worst nightmare… you arrive at the airport only discover that your flight has been delayed… And, with some flights being delayed for several hours, it can be difficult to fill in your time as you await more information about your flight in the terminal. Flight delays are not uncommon in airports in all corners of the world, and they can be frustrating and infuriating for travellers, especially those who have a connecting flight to catch or an important event to attend when they reach their final destination. But, rather than driving yourself crazy with worry or rage, there are lots of things you can do in the…

Doing London with AttractionTix Big 6 Ticket
Before we headed off to Disneyland Paris last month, LM and I had a day exploring London thanks to AttractionTix. We also took over their Instagram stories for the day which was a lot of fun (until my battery died as we queued for the London eye!) AttractionTix had kindly sent us each their new London Big 6 Ticket, which I mentioned in a post last month, so we could visit some top attractions in the Capital. I’ve mentioned AttractionTix before, but in case you’re not up to speed they’re a great company that offer tickets to big attractions both in the UK and around the world including Disneyland, Walt…

Samsonite Frozen Nordic Summer Duffel Bag Review
If you’re someone who likes to get away as much as possible like me, you’ll know there is nothing better than good luggage. Samsonite is a name you’d associate with good luggage, right? Our main short haul suitcase is this beautiful Minnie Mouse case by Samsonite that I absolutely adore and it’s made travelling to and from Disneyland Paris so much easier. This week we added another piece of Samsonite Disney luggage to our collection, this time in the form of Frozen. You know me, I’m pretty much over Frozen, LM on the other hand is not. She still loves Anna, the songs and loves when she sees Kristoff in…

Where in the World? – La Dimora dei Cherubini, Florence*
Over the last 5 years I’ve done many a Wanderlust Wishlist and Italy always stays in the top two places I want to visit. One of the places in Italy I really want to visit, along with Rome and Venice is, Florence. If I’m planning a trip to Florence I want to stay somewhere that represents the beauty of the area, just like La Dimora dei Cherubini. This luxurious B&B is in the heart of the city close to the Santa Maria Novella train station with a beautiful view of the cathedral. Or why not try the sister B&B, La Dimora del Centroa few steps from the Donatello’s Column of…

5 Reasons You Should Get the Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World*
Wow, a Disney post on Cocktails in Teacups? It’s a rarity but I am trying to keep the magic alive on this blog and not just Livvy Bird Adventures. On occasion anyway. Last October when we headed out to Walt Disney World we had the Disney Dining Plan for the first time ever and after three tips without one I’m not sure I go without ever again. It was awesome knowing all my food was paid for before even arriving. When we head out in May we have one week where we have the DDP where we’ll do all our character dining and a second week without as we’ll be…
