🇫🇷Disneyland Paris🇫🇷
From the moment I glanced upon the Disneyland Hotel and the gardens surrounding the entry to the park, I knew I was in for a wonderful treat. While I’ll always love Walt Disney World and Disneyland in the US, the beauty and detail of this park are top notch.

Sleeping Beauty Castle is what we need in a castle. A castle you can explore from multiple levels and if you are daring, you may even encounter a dragon lying deep below.

Phantom Manor has that Haunted Mansion vibe with a little more haunt than you may be accustomed to. Watch out for the graveyard section.

Big Thunder Mountain is by far the best roller coaster on property. I will even go as far as to say it’s superior to both of Big Thunder Mountain coaster we have in the US Disney resorts. I wish I had ridden it a few more times.

With the exception of Discoveryland “Tomorrowland”, the park is so well laid out and themed impeccably. I will note, directional signage is not easy to find here. But that’s ok, there is something new to see around every corner. So unless you are in a rush, it flows and you will stumble upon your next adventure soon.

❓Have you ever visited Disneyland Paris? What are your top 3 things?

09/02/2023

Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Paris is by far one of the most beautiful castles in the Disney parks I’ve visited. Inside and out this castle has so much to offer.

A truly fairytale castle, boasting soaring spires, ornate turrets, regal royal-blue rooftops, stained glass windows and tapestries, the 167-foot structure invokes both the magic and mystery of fictional palaces like the one seen in Disney's animated classic Sleeping Beauty, as well as elements from real French castles and historic monuments.

Adding to the enchanted environment, the castle is surrounded by square trees and is home to a large sleeping dragon that occasionally awakens, puffs smoke and roars.

This week we were hanging out with our pickle loving bud. She was in her glory at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival enjoying pickle fries and the pickle milkshake. Delaney gave both items a 10/10 rating. 😋

🇺🇸Happy 4th of July everyone!🇺🇸
The fireworks last night at Magic Kingdom were amazing and I’m looking forward to Epcot tonight. Anyone planning to be at Magic Kingdom or Epcot tonight for the fireworks?

Check out this pic I snagged of Cinderella’s castle and this fountain all decked out in red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸

Be safe and enjoy the holiday as we celebrate Independence Day!🎇

Always let your conscience be your guide!

I just love this little statue if Jiminy Cricket at the Wishing Star Cafe onboard the Disney Wish. It’s the small theming touches they add around the ship that are most impactful in my opinion. This ship more than others has so many hidden gems for guest to discover. From details in the carpet to accents in light fixtures, the Disney touch is found from floor to ceiling.

It’s amazing how well they do this while keeping suck elegance to their decor.

05/17/2023

This past weekend was so much fun onboard the Disney Wish. It was great to see all our Disney friends in their new outfits to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Disney Cruise Line. Check out these pics of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto all looking sharp in their shimmering attire.

There is still time to join in on the fun with several cruises still having space available for these special Silver Anniversary at Sea cruises.

From special merchandise, festive decor around the ship, 25th anniversary treats, and so much more, you won’t want to miss this epic celebration.

Have you ever taken time to look closely at the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom?

At 145 feet tall, this massive tree serves as the theme parks icon. With a root system that stretches out in every direction, you will soon start to notice some not so hidden details.

As you explore the Discovery Island Trails, you’ll notice over 300 animals that have been carved into this tree.

As many times as I’ve visited Animal Kingdom, I still spot new animals from time to time.

Have you found them all? Have you spotted a very famous mouse hiding amongst the carvings?
