I'm Back!


Sorry for the unexpected leave of absence on the blog front but I have been so busy! I had all my coursework due in all the same day for University, my final exams, attended my graduation ball and moved out of my flat in Manchester! I've been home in Essex just over a week and its nice to relax! I decided to take the British Airways job, as much I as miss working for Disney I just feel I would constantly wish I was working back in the park, not on the cruise line.


I had my visa appointment in London on Wednesday and it seemed just yesterday I was there last year getting my Disney visa! I was all approved and now just waiting for my passport to return as I just booked another trip to Disney! But this time back to Walt Disneyworld Florida!!!

I'm so excited! It was such a last minute booking and got an amazing deal to stay at the Wyndham hotel at Lake Buena Vista, so right next to downtown Disney and right around the corner from where I used to live! Me and the boyfriend leave a week today and plan to pack in as much Disney as possible (and a quick trip to Universal as he loves marvel!).

So happy that some of the people I work with will still be there as I miss them all so much!

See you in a week Orlando!

Tomorrow!


Been very busy and slightly ill recently :( back at home in Essex for Easter break and off to Disneyland Paris tomorrow! Very excited to see the changes from New Year as they are celebrating 20 years of being open this year! They have already added some of the floats to the parade along with merchandise in the shops (which I'll be buying most of!).


Very excited to get there as we have 4 whole days to roam and do absolutely everything this time! Also, some other good news I have been offered a cabin crew job for British Airways so have a very hard decision to make whether to take that or Disney Cruise Line; and I have to decide very soon :(

Countdown To My Next Disney Trip


In 3 weeks today my Mum, Stepdad and I (pictured above at Walt Disneyworld Florida) are off to Disneyland Paris for my 22nd Birthday trip. I haven't been to Disneyland Paris with my Mum since 2002 and my Stepdad has never been! We've been looking at the restaurant menus so we can make some bookings so we can go to all the best ones! I'm thinking the Blue Bayou for lunch as I've never eaten there and love that its actually inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! I also want to go to Walt's American Restaurant and maybe to the Plaza gardens buffet as they both have great views of the main park.

We are staying at the Sequoia lodge and are getting the Eurostar there so we will be right by the park to make the most of our 4 days holiday! I'm hoping to pick up alot of 20th anniversary merchandise as well as the Alice in wonderland stuff I saw there at New Year! Apart from looking forward to my trip I've got to get my University work done and look forward to working for Disney Cruise Line!
