  On Friday 9th of June, I went and saw The Addams Family at Birmingham Hippodrome. This has been booked for months and one of the shows I was most excited about seeing this year and it surpassed my expectations. This has a cast full of stars we have Samantha Womack as Morticia Addams, Cameron Blakely as Gomez Addams, Les Dennis as Uncle Fester and the amazing Carrie Hope Fletcher as Wednesday Addams. This musical is set when Wednesday is 18 years old and has fallen in love with a normal guy in Lucas Beineke played by Oliver Ormson and they are engaged to be married. Lucas’s parents come over to visit and have dinner with the Addams Family in which chaos ensues and the repercussions from that dinner. It ends up being a lovely love story with a strange family. I loved this musical, it was refreshing to see something completely new on stage not something that is a tour of a permanent show. The cast are incredible I was pleasantly surprised by Samantha Womack and Les Dennis they...

To celebrate the release of the 5th and final Pirates of the Caribbean film coming out at the end of this month, I thought I'd do a post on why this film series will always hold a very special and sentimental piece of my heart. The first film Curse of the Black Pearl came out in 2003 and I didn't see it as I was only 9 years old at the time and was too scared of it from the trailer to see it. Cut to 3 years later to 2006, I was 12 years old and the second film Dead Man's Chest came out and I went to see it with my friends as it was one of their birthdays and I fell completely obsessively in love with this film as you do when you are 12 years old. I particularly fell in love with Orlando Bloom as Will Turner in all honesty. I ended up seeing this film 2-3 times and as me and my friends loved this film so much because also one was obsessed with Johnny Depp as well. Not long after this I watched the first one and it just reaffirmed a love I had for it. I remember on a sch...

I've had this list in my head for a while of things I'd love to do that are Disney orientated, kind of Disney goals or a Disney bucket list of sorts. Some of these are more achievable than others but I'd like to think eventually I can do nearly all of these things. They are in no particular order just some things I'd love to do. 1. Visit every Disney park This is very self explanatory I'd love to have visited all Disney Parks in the world. You have Disneyland California, Walt Disney World Florida, Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disney, Hong Kong Disney and Tokyo Disney. I have so far only been to Disneyland Paris and hoping in the next couple of years to go to Walt Disney World. I think it would interesting to see how different each park is and also see how they are similar. Be a different way of seeing Disney in each park. 2. Visit Walt Disney World If I cannot achieve going to every Disney park then I at least want to go to Walt Disney World. My boyfrien...

Over the past 2 months I have bought a lot of Disney merchandise and thought I'd share all of it with you. I have picked up a variety of different stuff and also I have birthday presents from my friends that were given to me as well which I will put in here as well. I will link as much as I can throughout. Tsum Tsums I love tsum tsums I have over 30 of them but I only buy the ones I'm really interested in and want to keep. I bought Hans who now completes my Frozen collection, Cogsworth and Lumiere in Clintons because they had a 3 for 2 offer on them at £3.50 each. Le Fou who 2nd one on the top row was bought out by the Disney Store to celebrate the Live Action Beauty and the Beast film so I had to have him and also picked up Gaston and Philippe to go with him which means I now only have Mrs Potts and Chip missing from that collection. At the Disney Store the tsum tsums were £3 each. My favourite has to be Cogsworth he looks the best and his detailing of the pendulum on hi...

Friday 3rd March- Last day This was our last day at Disney but still had an early wake up for our 7am-8am breakfast slot but instead of going straight to the park like previous days we headed back to our hotel room and packed up the last of our stuff and then went to the park where the bus was obviously busier because it was later in the morning and a little kid pushing passed me whilst I tried to put my suitcase on the bus. We went through bag check with our cases and headed round to the storage place and put them in there. We still had a while in the park as our Eurostar was at 4:52. We decided to meet up with Kelly and Alex for lunch about 1 so we had the morning to ourselves. Luckily, we still got to the park for about 9 so we went and waited at the side entrance for Frontierland like we had the previous day to get Big Thunder Mountain Fastpasses which again we were successful in getting. First ride of the day was the ride that we had consistently been on everyday of our ...

Thursday 2nd March (My Birthday) To start the day we had a reservation at Café Mickey for breakfast which was the one thing I really wanted to do this holiday and it was so worth it. It was a hot and cold buffet and the food was so lovely I think we had 3 helpings each of the food. The part that made this was the character interaction we had also because I had my birthday badge on it made the interactions even better. We met Mickey first who was great then it was Dale who was the best because Alex didn't know which chipmunk he was so that was fun because then Dale just started messing about with Alex and we all got photos and he noticed my badge as well.  Next was Chip who wasn't the best to meet because you could tell he was in a rush so he came to the table we had to take photos in pairs then he moved on. Next was Tigger who was amazing we got a group picture with him but he took time with us and wanted to sing me Happy Birthday which is cute. The last character we met ...

Wednesday 1st March This was the day that we decided that we spend it separately in our couples and that was nice to have but we did still have dinner together so the catch up was nice.  Fantasyland Tea Cups Like the previous day we had breakfast early and made our way to the park ready for Extra Magic Hours. We got quite a few rides done they were Peter Pan, Pinnochio, Dumbo, Buzz and Orbitron then we had a walk around Main Street then decided to join the ridiculous queue that happens for the opening of Frontierland because everyone wants to get on Big Thunder Mountain which we decided we were going to try and get Fastpasses for. We managed to get them for 1:05 which I think was achievement considering how far back we were in queue to get into the land and then the queue for the fastpasses it was crazy but we got them. We did a bit of shopping and popped back to the hotel to drop the shopping back by this time we had killed enough time for Big Thunder Mountain. Before going o...
