TOP 15 THINGS WE CANT WAIT TO DO AT DISNEYLAND





With August fast approaching, Lucas’ passport application, sat in Glasgow passport offices, weather brightening up, budgeting with money sat in savings ready to be turned into Euros, shopping list growing by the day and all I can think about now is whats in store when I get there. I went to Disney world in Florida when I was sixteen with an old boyfriend and now the memories are slightly tarnished, so I am excited to make new memories with my little family.
I originally said 10, but found myself going on.

1. Mickey mouse pancakes

I am so excited to try the traditional Mickey mouse shaped pancakes! You have to eat Mickey pancakes for breakfast right?

2. The first sight of the castle

The feeling in your tummy as you walk up to the castle and you catch the first glimpse, the excitement that runs through your veins and the smile that goes on your face. Clique and cheesy I know, but every true Disney fan will know exactly what i mean.

3. The fireworks show

The firework show at night the awe and breathtaking fireworks show, seeing Lucas’ little face light up, Brad’s face light up and just knowing thats exactly where you need to be, in Disney bubble forever.

4. Ride on “it’s a small world”

It’s meant to be the happiest, most colourful, joyful ride of all! I think Lucas will be in wanderlust!

5. See the disney magic Parade

Seeing all the characters riding by and the music playing, Lucas waving as they go by, it’s magic and even for me, it’s a childhood (adult) dream come true.

6. Meet the characters!

Lucas adores Frozen, Sofia the first, Doc Mcstuffins, Mickey mouse clubhouse, Dumbo and watches other disney films with us, as we’re collectors of the films and we collect the Disney books for Lucas. I can’t wait to see his face light up when he sees them, i’m under no allusion that he may have no idea who they are when we get up close, he may get scared or be confused but I am hoping that he isn’t and if he is then… well I can’t wait to meet Elsa, Anna and Olaf and my fave ARIEL! I’m a huge big kid! Even the statues make me excited.

7. The frozen experience 

When we go they have the Frozen summer fun running, its running from June 1st - September 13th and I cannot wait to see it! Especially as Lucas loves Frozen. I REALLY want to build a snowman.

The memories are the most important part here, having the best time and having a smile on your face for days straight, thats what it is all about! Lucas is what it is all about.
