Paris 2018 - Snapshots of our favourite Disney moments

While in Paris one has to visit Disneyland. That's at least my opinion. When I was a small child, my sister and I used to watch our favourite Disney movies on VHS and I can still recite most of the texts today. My family always tried to do lots of wonderful holiday events, but Disneyland was just out of reach for us. When I was 19 and my parents visited me in America during my stay as an Au Pair, we finally managed to visit Disneyland in Anaheim. It was a dream come true. My entire family was mesmerized and my sister and I have been collectors ever since. With the recent releases of Disney movies and new productions, the world is full of merchandise. But nothing is as amazing as experiencing one of the parks. Mr.B is not the biggest fan, but he loves rollercoasters. I got him to come a second time to Disneyland with the promise of riding all the crazy rollercoasters with him. (I did chicken out of a couple, but I was quite brave!) Here are some snapshots from our time at Disneyland, which has been already one year ago!

Easy boat ride to start our time in Disneyland





My favourite - Big Thunder Mountain

This Cars show was awesome!!

Heat wave picnic

As October is right around the corner and I wanted to share one of my favourite summer heat wave outfits. This dress is beautiful and gives me all the good vibes. This summer has been really hot and I needed an outfit that would always work. Perfect look for a summer picnic.

Paris 2018 - Disney Studios Park

For our second day at Disneyland Paris, we decided to go to the Studios Park for most of the day and just went to Disneyland for the Fireworks. I wore my Vixen by Micheline Pitt skirt and felt dressed appropriately, more 50s diner style and less french chic.

I met my girl Minnie Mouse! I am not one to stand in line for lots of character meet ups. Mr.B gets bored as well and we wanted to enjoy the time together. We actually met lots of our favourite characters during our last visit when we ate at Mickey's Café and I felt ok with not meeting any this time, but when the line for Minnie was that short (20min wait), I had to meet her. 

We went on all the rides that were new and saw the Mickey the Magician show - so cute!! Also walked by while Goofie, Mickey and Pluto had their meet-ups. Just took a quick photo of each of them.

My favourite ride - the flying carpets! The app said sth about 20min wait, so not true! More like 60min. The update needs to get better and we were really done after waiting that long.

The action show was the highlight of the day! We loved it!!! Definitely something for the guys.

We had visited Paris and Disneyland 2016 and we both loved it there! Last time we only had one day at Disneyland and the Studios and both felt that this was not enough time to see everything. Also, the two parks had been under major constructions during that visit and a lot of attractions had been closed for renovations. For our 7th anniversary (and because we are skipping the summer vacation due to our house renovations) we booked a 5 day trip to Paris and this time booked a 3-day pass for both parks, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy all the rides that we loved and the ones we hadn't tried before. I had picked a couple of my favourite outfits especially for this trip and here is my first look. This black and white Eshakti dress screams Paris to me and it is made of such a comfortable material that is fuss-free and since then has been one of my go-to work outfits. My trusty denim jacket is perfect for all the looks and worked so well during this warm and sunny trip with cold and windy mornings where layers had been key. The Minnie Mouse bag by Primark had been such an amazing accessory and I got several people asking about it. 

One place I really wanted to visit was Adventureland and all its' attractions as they had been closed off in 2016. We loved all the roller coasters (Big Thunder Mountain was awesome!!), but I really enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean and La Cabane des Robinson. We did try to see all the things still on our list, but had to miss out on some re-rides as the time was just not enough. I was especially sad about Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Mad Hatter's Tea Cups (which was closed this time). Due to my injured back, I had to stay away from a lot of the 360° roller coasters, but I enjoyed every second of our time in Disneyland!! Stay tuned for more looks and snapshots from our stay in Paris.
