Shop Disney!

Posted on by

As Christmas approaches the shops start stocking gifts and goodies that not only do we want to buy for others but also buy as treats for ourselves…The Disney Store is no exception!!

There’s nothing better than preparing for those cosy, winter evenings in front of the Christmas tree than by picking up a new pair of pajamas covered in a cheery seasonal print.

These leggings are currently available on The Disney Store UK website and in The Disney Store shops. There are two tops also available in similar designs but if you’re anything like me you already have several t-shirts from the parks which you can wear with them!

The adult sizes range from XXS to XL on the website, our Disney Store had sizes from XS to XL in stock. You can either buy a size to fit snugly as leggings or buy a size up to have them slightly baggier. The ankles are elasticated; meaning that even if you’re short like me you won’t be tripping over them as you walk around the house!

I really like the pattern, it’s very festive and features on other items available in the range too.

A good quality sleepwear item, and at £10 it’s a treat which will help with those winter daydreams! :)

 

 

Shop Disney!

My regular readers will be fully aware by now as to how much I like shopping….and how much I LOVE Disney shopping! So this week I’m pleased to finally announce a new category of posts dedicated to shopping Disney! :)

There are many blogs and websites out there which cover recently released Disney merchandise, available at Disney parks and online. My posts will feature Disney items which I have actually bought; whether it’s from a shop, online or from a visit to the parks. It might be something that’s available in the UK or worldwide. I’ll be giving you details of where it was purchased, how much it cost and what I think of the item now that it’s mine!

 

The first ‘Shop Disney’ item I would like to share is this super cute sweatshirt, made by Mango. It costs £22.99 and is available on-line at asos.com.

Now if you’re not into the current trend of wearing your sweatshirts ‘fitted’ just buy a larger size. I picked up a Large and it’s roomy enough to wear over a t-shirt when I need something a little warmer.

The sweatshirt is great quality and definitely worth the reasonable price. I really love the artistic design on this top, it makes it a little different from the standard Minnie and Mickey cartoon designs. 

 

So that’s the first article in the ‘Shop Disney’ feature. I’ll be sharing all kinds of future purchases from collectibles to clothes and kitchenware. If I buy it and it’s Disney….then you’ll get to read about it!!! ;)

 

Location, location, location!

Go on…admit it…we all dream about moving and living closer to the Mouse, don’t we?

Sometimes those daily daydreams aren’t enough to get us through the times in between our trips and sometimes we actually start to think what it would be like to move to Florida and live that ‘Disney’ experience everyday.

For us Brits it’s quite difficult to actually see this dream become reality. It’s tough to relocate to America permanently and definitely a big risk. For those who want a taste of the Disney cast member life there is still an opportunity but unfortunately it doesn’t allow you to work in WDW for the rest of your days! Check out the link here and have a little daydreaming Disney time ;)

As my circle of American friends has grown over the last couple of years I have noticed just how many of them have relocated to Florida. It always seems to me like an amazingly brave thing to do and I love to hear about their journey.

One family who took this journey are the Petermanns. On June 3 2011 Amy, Craig, Kyra and Emily packed up their life in Wisconsin and made the move to Orlando, FL. Now not only did Amy share all the details of the preparations for this move on her website therelocatedtourist.com but she has continued to share the highs and lows of their relocation ever since.

I have loved reading Amy’s many posts on her family’s relocation adventure. I love the way that Amy writes so openly about her experiences; moving your life to just outside Walt Disney World means just that….you are living your LIFE just outside WDW…it’s not an extended vacation.

And Amy was the reason that I took the leap into setting up my own blog. I saw her website as an on-line diary and the more she posted the more I wanted to read. I wanted to take part in their journey; experiencing their rewards and trying times….and it gave me the desire to share my own thoughts with others. I’ve even appeared in The Relocated Tourist features Fridays with Friends and Insp’ear’ationals, my story is titled ‘A Story from the United Kingdom’.

And as I write this post tonight I cannot believe that the Petermanns have been FL residents for a year already. They continue to amaze me with their journey and I’m counting down the days until I get to meet them in the parks; it feels like I’m waiting to reunite with old friends.

If you were not already aware of The Relocated Tourist before reading this post then I urge you to read the many, many posts that Amy and her family have written. It will make you truly believe that dreams can come true; all you need is a whole heap of faith, trust and pixie dust!!!!
