Five Things To Take To Disneyland.


Hello everyone since I am going to Disneyland Paris next week for three days I thought that I would do a post about things that you should take with you. This can be for any Disney park holiday from Disneyland Paris to Walt Disney World so I hope this helps to give you some Ideas.


 1. Disney Attire 

Any Disney trip needs Disney fashion especially for meeting characters e.g If you are a big mickey lover and wear something with him on it will make the experience so much better because it will get his attention, this will mostly happen with any character.
If you don't want to spend lots of money on clothes in the parks because it can be pricey I strongly recommend you buy everything before you go, a great place to get great affordable Disney clothes is Primark; they have a wide range things such as tops, shorts, flip flops, PJ's and more with the prices ranging from £3-£12.
If like me you like vintage or unique hand made pieces then I recommend going to Beyond Retro or Rokit they always have great vintage Disney pieces a lot of the time from the parks.

For unique hand made pieces I recommend you visit GeekLaChic which sells a variety of different clothing pieces as well as  unique one off Disney pieces from dresses to skirts.The Princess skirt In the image above is from them and cost me £20 and Is really good quality and fits the body well. I also recommend KelleysDeli who creates pieces out vintage fabrics. The Tye dyed Minnie shirt in the image above was one her many stunning creations and cost £25 and because It Is long and baggy it is perfect for the hot weather because you can style It with a pair of shorts and will keep you cool because It doesn't stick to the body. If you would like to see style this shirt in a previous post click here.
                                                                           
                                                                                                     
2. Bubble Bath
After a long day in the parks you are going to be feeling tired, achy and If you visit in the summer possibly hot and sweaty so why not cure this with a nice bubble bath using more more than this lovely Mary Poppins bubble bath. This bubble bath can be found In Pound land and has a sweet smell to it. If you are unable to find this bubble bath luckily for you Pound land also has a wide range of different Disney bubbles baths such as Cinderella and to go with it you can get a variety of Disney Sponges and flannels.

If you are staying In a Disney hotel then you will find in your bathroom that you have some bars of soap with Mickey Mouse on.On previous trips to Disneyland Paris I have found mini bottles of Mickey Mouse shampoo also however this might have changed and I do not know what you get in other Disney theme park hotels as I have not been to
them but I am sure you will probably get some Disney themed things.



3. Fujifilm Instax Camera 

If you are a lover of Polaroid style pictures then this is the perfect thing to take. This camera is not quite like a traditional Polaroid camera as its shape is a lot more modern and the images are credit card size but they come out very nice and still have that 90's Polaroid feel to them. The best thing about this camera is that you can get a variety of styled sheets along with original plain white ones, if you want Disney ones then I recommend looking on EBay because they are only available in japan and china but can be shipped. This camera will be perfect  for taking a iconic photo of the Sleeping Beauty castle.
If you do not currently own a Instax camera and would like to get one then visit Amazon were you will be able to get one for just under £60 ; they cost a lot more else where.

4. Disney Bags

 A bag is one of the most important things to take to Disneyland to keep all those theme park necessities together so why not take a Disney bag. If you are on a budget then I recommend going to Primark who currently have a wide range of tote bags with different styles on such as the Ariel one In the Image and they cost between £2-£3. They are  really good quality and can hold quite a bit In them and will definitely fit perfectly in the parks. The second bag In the image Is also from Primark and is a satchel style bag and cost £8.                             
If you are looking for something that Is a bit more pricey then I recommend that you look at the new Vans collection which is filled with different Disney themed shoes, clothes and backpacks you will be sure to find something you love on there.

5. Make up Bag

If you are someone who loves make up then why not take a Disney themed make up bag with you on your trip. The make up bag In the Image Is from Primark whom have a varied amount of pretty and affordable make up bags costing between £3-£4 and have a few Disney ones such as this one, I have also seen Bambi and Minnie Mouse ones.
Because this is quite a big make up bag you could also use it as a wash bag.



I hope that you find this post helpful and If anyone Is planning or going to any of the Disney parks I hope have a magical time. I would to hear what you would take with you on a Disney trip so please feel free to say In the comments.

MCM Expo

Hello, last weekend was the MCM Expo held at the Excel centre In London and is held every year in May and October. This was very exciting because I was able to attend both saturday and sunday and cosplay on both days. On saturday I went as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I attended a Disney meet were other Disney cosplayers came together to meet and to also take photos and videos. Overall the meet was the best part of the whole weekend and I made some lovely freinds and got to take some rallu nice pictures.The most beautiful part of the meet was when a couple dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming from the real life film got enagaged in front of everyone.

                         

    
 The dress was custom made from Ebay and the black pumps were from Primark.The Beauty and the Beast Book that I am holding Is something I have had since I was little and was published in the 90's. The Mrs Pott's necklace was handmade by myself.



       Me with a stunning Beast cosplayer who was sweet enough to give all the Belle cosplayers a rose.

    
    Cosplaying at MCM really is so much fun because you have the chance to become your favorite characters and meet some great people and take some great pictures so I strongly reccomend taking part it will make the comic con experience ten times better.
