Disneyland Paris Haul: Christmas 2016

January 13, 2017

Happy Friday! It’s a new month (and new year), which means it’s time for a new Disney Haul! Since I recently shared some of my favorite photos from Christmastime at Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park, I thought today would be the perfect day to share my latest Disneyland Paris haul! Speaking of the Disney Parks, I’m heading to Disney World this weekend (in a few hours actually) to check out the first ever Epcot International Festival of the Arts and I’m so excited! If you’re a Disney (or Universal Orlando, since I’ll be visiting there too) lover, like me, or if you’re curious about the Epcot International Festival of the Arts, make sure to follow along on Instagram and snapchat (simplysinova)! Since I went a little over board the last time I visited Disneyland Paris (you can check out that haul here), I really didn’t get that much stuff this time (to be honest, there wasn’t that much more new merchandise since my last visit). Since I didn’t get that much at the parks (this is definitely one of my smallest hauls), I decided to also include the few things I got while I was in Paris (aka non-Disney items). Like I say in all my Disney Haul posts, a quick disclosure: since I am a Disneyland Paris annual passholder (that’s right, I’m currently an annual passholder to Disneyland Paris, Universal Orlando Resort, Disneyland AND Disney World), I get a pretty good discount on merchandise (20% off, woot woot!). Here’s my Disneyland Paris Christmas Haul: Continue reading →

Christmastime at Disneyland Paris & Walt Disney Studios Park

January 11, 2017

I know Christmas was three weeks ago (although it seems like it was yesterday) but I still wanted to share a few of my favorite photos from Christmastime at Disneyland Paris & Walt Disney Studios Park! Although I usually spend the holidays at Disney World, I decided to switch things up this year (well, technically “last” year) and spend Christmas and New Years at Disneyland Paris. Since I’ve experienced Disneyland during the holidays and Disney World during the holidays, it only made since to finally experience Christmastime at Disneyland Paris (and next year I might be experiencing Tokyo Disneyland during the holidays, so that’s fun!). Speaking of the Disney Parks, if you checked out my goals for 2017 post then you may recall that one of my goals for this year (and every year) is to travel more. Since I have a Disney Premier Passport (aka an annual pass to both Disneyland and Disney World), I travel to the Disney Parks quite frequently (in fact, I’ve been visiting the Disney Parks basically every other month since I first got my Disney Premier Passport in 2015). Even though I wasn’t planning on visiting Disney World again until March (I’ll be attending the first weekend of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival), you all know how I LOVE spontaneous trips! Since the first ever Epcot International Festival of the Arts starts this weekend, I RANDOMLY decided to go and check it out! Yup that’s right, I’m heading to Disney World THIS weekend (talk about a great way to start off the new year!). Continue reading →

Walt Disney Studios Park | Disneyland Paris

June 24, 2016

Happy Friday! Sorry for the radio silence here on the blog these past few days, it’s been a bit of a crazy week! On the bright side, I was able to score HAMILTON tickets earlier this week (woot woot!). In case you didn’t know, I’m a HUGE Broadway lover! In fact, in 2015 one of my resoultions was to see at least one Broadway show a month and I’m pleased to say that in 2015 I saw 13 Broadway shows! Hamilton is coming to Chicago in September (I was able to get tickets for an October show) and I couldn’t be more excited to cross it off my broadway bucket list! Speaking of bucket lists, back in April I got to finally cross visiting Disneyland Paris off my Disney bucket list. Disneyland Paris was AMAZING but Walt Disney Studios Park definitely had a charm to it as well. The Walt Disney Studios Park is the second of the two theme parks at Disneyland Paris. Walt Disney Studios Park is dedicated to all things show business, movies, production, and behind-the-scenes! So essentially, Walt Disney Studios Park is like the Hollywood Studios or Disney California Adventure of Disneyland Paris. Continue reading →

Springtime at Disneyland Paris

May 30, 2016

I can’t believe it’s been a whole month since my trip to Disneyland Paris (man, it seems like time flies by so fast these days). I know it took me forever to get this post up but between traveling to Disney World for the Epcot International Flower and Garden festival (and getting that post up before the festival ended May 30) almost immediately after returning home from Europe and getting over a terrible cold (being sick this time of year is the absolute worst), I just didn’t have the time (that and I had thousands of Disneyland Paris photos to sift through). I decided to spend all last weekend (finally) going through all my Disneyland Paris photos so I could finally share with you all my Disneyland Paris experience (spoiler alert: It was AMAZING!). Also, just a heads up, this post contains almost 200 photos (I know, I know but I tired to edit it down, and I did, but I HAD to include all these photos). Since this post is so photo heavy (and long), I’ll be covering Walt Disney Studios Park (the other park at Disneyland Paris) in a separate post. Continue reading →

Vienna House Dream Castle Hotel at Disneyland Paris

May 4, 2016

Staying at the Vienna House Dream Castle Hotel at Disneyland Paris during my ten days in Paris was seriously a dream (get it?) come true. When I first started doing research for hotels in Paris, I automatically knew I wanted to stay at either a Disneyland Paris hotel or a Disneyland Paris partner hotel (since I knew I’d be spending the bulk of my Paris trip at Disneyland Paris).

Since the Disneyland Paris hotels were a little (okay, a lot) out of my price range, I ultimately opted for a Disneyland Paris partner hotel. Out of the eight Disneyland Paris partner hotels, the Vienna House Dream Castle Hotel immediately caught my eye (I mean, who doesn’t want to stay at a hotel with “dream castle” in its name?!).

Located about 10 minutes away from Disneyland Paris and the TGV train station (which takes you to Paris/the city), the Vienna House Dream Castle Hotel is definitely a great hotel choice for any Disneyland Paris vacation! Continue reading →
