So I found this tag on YouTube by Sarah Sterling. I thought instead of making a video doing the tag I'd instead do a blog post, so here I am! Now onto the questions!

When was the first time you visited a Disney park?
1997, I visited Walt Disney World. I was 5, and yes the picture at the top to left was me in 1997 meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time.


What is your favourite Disney park?
Walt Disney World! And if I had to be more specific since Disney World is really 4 parks and 2 water parks, I'd say Magic Kingdom. I feel like people tend to always love the first park they ever visited most.

What is your happiest single moment in a Disney park?
Hard question! I have so many happy memories in Disney parks, but I think it'd have to be seeing Wishes for the first time in 2012. I was so unprepared for what happened that I was just blown away and extremely happy.

What is your favourite Disney parks purchase? 
Ahh, another hard question. But it has to be my Mickey/Minnie ears, all of them! Every time I go I always add more to my collection therefore it has to be my favourite right? 

What is your favourite Disney attraction?
Easy, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios. Hands down best ride ever!

Which character do you have to meet when you go to a Disney park?
Can't go to a Disney park without meeting the boss himself, Mickey Mouse.

If you could build a Disney attraction based on your favourite Disney movie, what would it be?
Well my favourite Disney movie is The Little Mermaid and I feel like the ride at both Disney World and California Adventure really suit that movie so I'm going to pick another.

I think an Aladdin rollercoaster would be awesome. So picture one of those rollercoaster where you lie down and you can fly over all the countries they do in the movie while the song A Whole New World plays, it wouldn't be a crazy rollercoaster, just really nice, smooth and gives you the feeling of flying on a magic carpet.

What is your favourite Disney parks restaurant?
So I'm pretty new to experiencing awesome Disney parks restaurants. But from my last 2016 trip to Disney World I'd have to say my favourite restaurant was Hoop Dee Doo found in Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. The food is good and the atmosphere is amazing, if you haven't been here and you're planning to go to Disney World GO HERE!! You will not regret it.

Describe a situation when a Disney cast member went above and beyond for you?
I've never had a bad experience with a Disney cast member but the one memory coming to me was when I was in Disney's California Adventure in 2016. I'd just found the Disneyland 60th Anniversary fleece blanket and was beyond excited, plus a tie dye Disneyland singlet. I went to the cashier to pay and she was extremely nice and asked me all about my holiday, she then proceeded to give me a discount on all my stuff (I think it was an annual passholder discount, which I am not) and it just made me so happy that she did that because she didn't have to.

Plan your dream Disney vacation. Include your perfect resort, restaurant, park and show?
Dream vacation - a month at Disney World. I'd stay in a bungalow at Disney's Polynesian Resort, eat at all the restaurants but especially Ohana because it is high on my to do list, live at Magic Kingdom almost every day because it's so magical and sit in the hub and enjoy Happily Ever After - or you know if they could bring the Star Wars fireworks to Magic Kingdom because John Williams plus epic castle projection and firework show will literally kill me with happiness.

And there you have it! I now tag YOU! Do it, and comment below if you do so I can go read (or watch) all about it.

Welcome to a new series of blog posts. 'I love' will be a post every month highlighting the things I've loved for that month - so yeah, it's pretty much a favourites post I've just titled it something different. 

It will always include my top 4 favourite Instagram pics of the month plus my favourite song, anything else will be a bonus. This is really a post for myself to look back on in years to come and see the things that I once loved. Without further ado, here are the things I've loved in April ♥

Top 4 Instagram Snaps



Koala Mattress
I ordered and got my Koala Mattress during the month of April and it is the best damn mattress I've ever slept on. I literally come home from work and just want to lie down on my bed, forever. Sure, not going to lie, the first night I did have an uncomfortable sleep. But that's expected when you sleep on a new mattress for the first time. Since then I have only loved it more and more, it's like sleeping on a cloud...and yes, I'm sitting on it now while typing this, why wouldn't I be? I do love it after all.

Mermaid Inspired Nails
As featured first in my top Instagram snaps - my nails. I asked for mermaid nails and my nail tech did not disappoint. No really, how amazing are they! She is so talented and I can't thank her enough, it's going to be sad to see them go.

Big W Originals Collection
I had a whole blog post about how amazing this collection is and I spent far too much money but I don't care. All the pieces I bought were beautiful and I can't wait to wear them, especially that bomber jacket!

Song of the Month


Until We Go Down by Ruelle
I recently binged watched the entire first season of The Shannara Chronicles, and every time I heard the theme song I wanted to hear more. So I went searching for it and alas this popped up, such a good song with an epic drop, well in my opinion anyway.

What were you loving during the month of April?

It's happening - in 2017 I'm going back to Disney World and going on a Disney Cruise - that's two years in a row!

I'll be heading back to Florida in September/October - staying one night at Art of Animation (eeeek, Little Mermaid Room!!!), a 7-Night Halloween on the High Seas Western Caribbean Cruise and 13 nights at Caribbean Beach. I'm also going to snatch up some tickets for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and of course Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. As someone from Australia who doesn't get to celebrate Halloween, I can't wait!! Bring on all the Halloween celebrations!

Keep a look out for more Disney related content to do with my holiday on my blog and my youtube channel. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have anything you want me to talk about.

Oh my gosh, so Big W released their Disney Originals Collection this week and needless to say I went a bit overboard with shopping - but trust me, it was worth it. I truly love this range, from the pajama's to the jackets, to the jumpers to the shirts, this whole collection was just on point.

Check out all the awesome pieces I grabbed below. Did anyone else happen to snap up anything? Let me know in the comment below!

P.S I'll probably also film a haul for over on my YouTube channel, so keep a look out over there if you're interested.

 Wow. Breathtaking. Perfection.

In three words that is how I would describe this movie. I had such high expectations for it and it lived up to every expectation I had. So let's talk Beauty and the Beast, the live action.

Emma Watson was/is the perfect actor choice for Belle, come to think of it I have no idea who else could have played Belle she did it so well. Now I may be biased, I love Emma Watson, as a massive Harry Potter fan how could I not love her? But she truly did this role justice.

The scene I highly anticipated was the Be Our Guest scene, and boy did it deliver. I sat in the cinemas silently singing along trying not to cry at how perfect it was. It was my favourite song form the original, so I only prayed I would love it as much in this movie, and I did - if not more! The colours, the singing, man just the entire scene, words can't explain.

And I can't forget the ballroom scene, as pictured above, that was just breathtakingly beautiful. Whereas Be Our Guest was upbeat, funny and made you want to dance, The ballroom scene made you really fall in love with Belle and the Beast, if you didn't love them already. And her dress! Gosh, if only I could wear a dress like that one day to waltz in, absolutely stunning!

Josh Gad as Lafou...brilliant. I didn't take much notice of Lafou in the animation, he was there but he wasn't a big part of the film for me. In this movie, Lafou was everything. Hell, I loved Lafou more than I loved the Beast. His one liners had you in fits of laughter and just the way he held himself, man I just loved Lafou. Thank you Josh.

In the animation I hated Gaston, he was boring, up himself and I couldn't care less about him. But in the live action, I loved Gaston. He was hilarious, still up himself as you expect from Gaston, but man he was just on point. Another brilliant casting.

Lumiere was always my favourite between himself and Cogsworth in the animation, but in the live action Cogsworth stepped up. Many of his lines had me in fits of laughter, and I can't deny that Sir Ian McKellen is one of the greatest actors ever - so of course he played the part perfectly.

Overall it was a brilliant film with dazzling effects and amazing cinematography paired with an excellent cast - if you haven't seen it, what are doing? Watch it now!

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on the movie, I'd love to know!
