Finding the Magic of a Moment*
Does anyone else find that a holiday goes by way faster than the time you spend leading up to the holiday? I have an app on my phone where I put all holidays or adventure dates into so when LM asks how long to go I can show her the numbers going down. But they go down so slow compared to the 3, 10, 14 or even 28 days a trip lasts (we did 28 days in Florida March 2016 and it still went by so much faster than the 28 days prior to us leaving). Then you come home and feel sad that the trip is over. Those holiday…

Doing Disneyland Paris on a Budget Part 1 – Transport, Accommodation & Tickets
Almost two years ago I did a post about doing Walt Disney World and Orlando on a budget. Although I have been lucky enough to do Florida 4 times in less than two years, I won’t be back this year no matter how much I budget. Instead we’re settling on multiple trips to Disneyland Paris and a few trips to London, all this roughly comes to the price of our very first trip to Florida back in April 2015. In the past two years prices have increased due to the unstable economy and just general inflation making it harder for me to afford it as a single parent without giving…

Getting an Annual Pass at Disneyland Paris
On our trip to Disneyland Paris last month I finally did something that’s been on my bucket list for a while, we became Annual Pass Holders! I have considered it for Walt Disney World for the last two years but as they regularly have black out days I would have had to get the top tier one making it well over $1000 for Little Miss and I where as I could buy a 21 day one for our trip in March and a 14 day one for our trip in October for both of us and it still cost less. Plus by getting the 14 day pass in October it…

Disney Parks Essentials – Our Favourite Small Shops*
Getting ready for any Disney holiday is stressful, be you visiting for a couple of days or a couple of weeks. It’s not cheap and you want to have the most magical time possible and part of that magic is in the preperation. As a parent, for me the prep is in the outfit planning and the little things that will really make Little Miss feel like she’s in the Disney bubble and I’ve found if you shop small rather than shopping while at a Disney Parks it doesn’t need to cost the earth. Over the last two years I’ve come across so many different shops through places like Etsy,…

Things I’m Looking Forward to in Walt Disney World Oct 2016
With less than 6 weeks to go until Walt Disney World October 2016 I’m into crazy planning mode for our trip. The spreadsheet is updated daily, the outfits are being planned and I’m already dreaming of red velvet Mickey cake pops, so I feel it’s time to share with you all what I’m really looking forward to doing while we’re out there in October. As we’re staying on site for the full two weeks there will be a lot of Disney, in fact, every day will be Disney and I’m so ready. Staying at Old Key West This time we’re staying at what is classed as a delux villa resort.…

6 Things I Love About Autumn at Disneyland Paris
– Obviously not the weather! It’s so hard right now to make yourself stand out in the sea of Disney bloggers and youTubers. I don’t have an Annual Pass to any parks, I don’t vlog but I have been so desperate for this niche of blogging that it’s really hard right now being so invisible. So today I’ve set aside all the work I have to do, and posts I have to write to write something I want to write (that’s a lot of “write”s in one sentence!) which is why I love Autumn at Disneyland Paris. Unfortunately this year we won’t make it for Autumn and Halloween, we’re in…
