We were lucky enough to be invited to a press trip at Disneyland Paris earlier this year. We had a great time and picked up some tips along the way like navigating the park anti-clockwise or from back to front. This means that you’re usually heading away from the crowds. If you fancy a trip to Disneyland Paris read to the bottom of this post to find out how you can win a trip to Disneyland Paris with P&O ferries!
If you win, this is what you’ll need …

Magical Moments, Disneyland Paris

So after a lovely day on Friday, we were up early and ready to go on Saturday. Well not quite, you see I thought my iPhone would automatically update the time difference but it didn’t and so we found ourselves being chased by Liz Jarvis to breakfast which ended up being a rather rushed affair.
Onwards and upwards, we made our way to our own Magical Moment experience where Erin got to meet Alice and the Mad Hatter. This was a definite highlight of the trip and we even …

UP

by BigDaddy

After being sent the Blu-Ray of Up by Disney I could not get it in the player fast enough. I had already seen it in the cinema in 3D so I was eager to see how Blu-ray would match up. I was also very excited because Up is my 2nd favourite Disney/Pixar movie (after Monsters Inc)
At first glance, Up is the least conventional animated movie in recent memory. The hero is not a fish, monster, toy or superhero. He is a grumpy old man named Carl Fredricksen a helium …

Treasure Hunt

I used to love treasure hunts when I was younger so I’m really excited about this. Huggies have teamed up with Disney and are holding an online treasure hunt that will see participants solve riddles, discover the hunny pots to win. The hunny pots will be found on fourteen sites – four of the top parenting websites, and ten parenting blogs.
The treasure hunt begins TODAY and there’ll be one riddle per day for fourteen days.
The top prize is a weekend in Disneyland Paris!
Join the hunt here.
Good Luck!

My Little Fairy

Last week Kerry from Think Parents (who by the way is about to set off on a six month trip across America, me jealous?) organised it for us to go and see a pre-showing of
Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure. We managed to get to a special showing which included a fairy breakfast. I asked for an invite for Erin’s friend too, so to say they were excited was an understatement!
The morning began with choosing a fairy outfit to wear, followed by the making of wands. The breakfast …

UP Disney Digital 3D: Review + Trailer

Okay listen up people, you’ve got to go and see Up when it comes out, 3D or otherwise you won’t be disappointed. As far as these modern animated films go this is by far the best storyline I’ve seen so far, the 3D may add another dimension, literally, however this film stands up well enough without gimmicks.
In the first ten minutes, friendship, marriage, miscarriage and death had all been covered in a short montage, be ready for some difficult questions, much of it went over Erin’s head at three, …

Disney Diary: The Virgin Experience

It’s Day two, 5.43 am and I’m wide awake. I’ve ditched the ‘making a good impression’ clothes in favour of my usual hoody and trainers. I guess this is a good time to mention that the Hilton was a bit lacking, their rooms aren’t as modern as the online photos would suggest and the food was overpriced and below par. As compensation (for Disney) I helped myself to the lovely Crabtree & Evelyn products. Thanks Hilton
We arrived at the correct terminal after just about going the …
