Going by the photo collage above, I think it's very safe to say that I came back home from my first ever solo trip at Disneyland Paris with many magical and wonderful photos. I took loads! When I say loads, I mean in the thousands, literally! Counting all of the photos I took on my camera and phone and also including my PhotoPass pictures, I had a combined total of just over 2000! Some would say that's excessive but not me, I love photos, and what better place to take photos than at Disneyland Paris! For me, there's nothing better than having photographical memories of your holiday and I was determined to take many on this trip. My camera was constantly in my hand, whether it was taking photos or filming for my blogs.
Anyhow! I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourite photo moments. I tried so hard to narrow it down to a top 10 but there was just too many good photos to choose from! So what I've done instead is go for a top 25 photo moments. Some of the moments have multiple pictures because they were all too good to miss out!
I suppose you could also call this a photo trip report in some ways! I've not written a trip report yet as I've detailed everything in my vlogs on YouTube but this blog will feature photos from each day of the trip and these are all from highlights of my trip, so yeah, this could be my trip report in some ways! You'll see meet and greets, me with new Disney friends, and lots and lots of selfies!
So sit back, relax and let's get to it shall we!
25 - Eurostar to Disney!
Kicking off my photo highlights is my Eurostar journey to Disneyland Paris, or the Marne La Vallee station to be precise! I was up incredibly early at my London hotel, even before breakfast was served, so I recorded a couple of videos for my vlog then wrote some notes. I eventually had breakfast and made my way over to the Eurostar station at St Pancras International. Once the announcement was made to board the train, excitement well and truly kicked in! I found my seat and prepared for the journey to Disneyland Paris! It was on this journey that kick started something special on the upcoming trip, talking to people I didn't know! I had a lovely young man sitting next to me, with his wife and daughter sitting opposite the aisle. We spoke the whole journey, with in depth conversations about our life and of course Disney itself. It was at this moment that I realised how easy I found it to talk to someone I didn't know. One of the things I had worried about before going was talking to people, as I was going alone. Those worries were soon put aside the moment I started talking to this lovely gentleman. I even bumped into him and his family later on in the trip and they all said they were having the trip of a lifetime, always great to hear! Another thing I must mention, rather amusingly, is the toilets on the Eurostar. Now I have no idea why but they have a picture of the Mona Lise winking, right opposite the toilet! I found it amusing but kind of off-putting at the same time! Anyway, the train finally arrived and I stepped out of the station into Disneyland Paris, then hey presto, the magic had certainly just begun!
24 - Phantom Manor
Now this is definitely not one to miss! I think Phantom Manor is without doubt one of the best attractions in all of Disneyland Paris! It is just the perfect all round attraction for me, I love everything about it. To start with, the exterior of this attraction is simply breathtaking, in terms of theming. As soon as you see Phantom Manor from a distance, you know it's going to be something very ominous. The Manor itself is incredibly creepy looking, also very reminiscent of the house from Psycho. The queue is also a wonder in itself. Again, the theming is just incredible. I especially love the tombstones, most of which bear funny puns. The ride itself though, wow, it is nothing short of fantastic! From the 'stretch room' of the pre-show to the ghost in the mirrors ride ending, this really is a thrill. Many would say this is the best version of the Haunted Mansion to be found at any Disney park around the world, which is a testament to how amazing it really is.
I suppose I should really talk about the photo itself! Well. This is one of the most photogenic parts of the Disneyland Park for me. I always take countless photos of Phantom Manor. One thing I also always do is take a couple of pictures of Phantom Manor in black or white. I think a black and white photo of Phantom Manor speaks for itself really and this one (my favourite) was no exception.
23 - Disney Village at Night
Anyone who knows me would tell you that I'm fanatical about Disney Village! I mean if it wasn't for Disney Village then there wouldn't be this blog for a start! I could go on for ages about why I love Disney Village so much but I'll save that for another blog one day! What I will say now though is that Disney Village really does come alive at night. As you can see from these photos, Disney Village is very colourful in the evening, not that it isn't colourful during the day. Some of the places in Disney Village really stand out during the night, especially the stand-out lighting at Planet Hollywood and Annette's Diner.
I wanted to include these photos not only because I love Disney Village so much but because Disney Village was a real highlight of my solo trip. Why you ask? Well I had to walk from the Hotel Cheyenne through Disney Village into the parks every morning, and the same for coming back. So I spent a lot of time in the Village. I also visited my favourite bar at Disney Village, The Sports Bar, on quite a few occasions. You may see that pop up in this blog later on actually!
22 - Joining Forces with the Dark Side
There's no hiding it. I'm a Star Wars nerd! I mean look at all of my clothing in this photo, it's mostly Star Wars themed! Still, I'm not embarrassed about it. I've loved the Star Wars franchise for as long as I can remember. Before my solo trip, I was very excited to read that some of the Season Of The Force events were being carried out throughout the whole year, so I thought to myself 'I so have to see them!' Naturally, I did! I watched the Stormtrooper march 4 out of the 5 days I was there. I just loved it!
These photos was taken on my second day, my first full day at Disneyland Paris. This was not long after Walt Disney Studios had opened. I remember seeing a big crowd gathered and wondered why. So curious me walked over and was well pleased to see Stormtroopers doing photo opportunities with guests. Naturally I got in line and had a couple of photos taken! I just love these photos! Firstly, because I love Star Wars. Secondly, because of all my Star Wars gear while standing next to a Stormtrooper. Just pure awesomeness! However, this wasn't the best Star Wars meet and greet I did on my trip, you'll see that one later on!
21 - Jafar!
Oh look it's one of the creepiest Disney villains! That's right, it's Jafar from that good 'ol 90s classic Aladdin. This meet and greet on my third day was purely accidental! I wanted to explore Adventureland and thought I'd visit the Aladdin walkthrough attraction. I entered and who turned his head around the corner, that's right, Jafar! Safe to say it made me jump and laugh at the same time! I'd never met Jafar before, so naturally I had to get a photo! I mean lighting wise it's not perfect but I actually like the dark effect on this photo because it captures the moment perfectly, it was so dark in there!
20 - My First Time Riding Hyperspace Mountain
Hyperspace Mountain. What a ride! I can't even tell you how much I loved this attraction! I enjoyed it when it was Space Mountain: Mission 2 but I preferred it so so much more with it's new Hyperspace Mountain reincarnation. Again, I'm a massive Star Wars fan, so I couldn't wait to see how they had updated this ride with a Star Wars theme. On my first day, I spent a lot of the evening exploring the Disneyland Park and I wanted to check out Hyperspace Mountain when the crowds weren't so busy. So I ended up getting on the ride and woah! The moment the ride started up and you heard the blast of that famous Star Wars titles theme, my mind was blown! Then came the launch! What a thrill! This ride honestly is so much better now, it really is. The music, the special effects, it's just so much better. After the ride I made sure to check out my ride photo as I had brought a PhotoPass for the trip. This is that very photo from my first ride on Hyperspace Mountain. I just love it because you can see the pure joy on my face, even though you can tell I'm also screaming my head off!
19 - The Studios at Night
Visually, for me, one of the most stunning photos I took on my solo trip. This is an all natural photo of Walt Disney Studios in all it's glory at nighttime. The Studios get quite a lot of flack from some Disney fans. Personally, I love Walt Disney Studios. While I agree that some of the park could do with more theming, I still think it's a very good park. It boasts some very impressive attractions, Rock N' Roller Coaster and Ratatouille to name a few. It's much misunderstood and I love it!
18 - The Red Garter Saloon
Wow what a gem this place was! Now I only drank at the Red Garter Saloon once but I had an amazing time. To be honest, I really regret not drinking there more than once. I visited the Red Garter Saloon at the end of my third day, the best day without a doubt. I had already had a couple of drinks that night, a couple at The Sports Bar (which I'll tell you about later) but I still needed one more, I was so thirsty and fancied a refreshing ale. Now the Red Garter Saloon was a good choice as it is the Hotel Cheyenne's bar, which was the hotel I was staying at on this trip, for the first time. I walked through the old fashioned doors into what I can only describe as stepping into the Wild West. Now the whole hotel is Wild West themed but this bar was where it felt most authentic for me. It was just incredible inside. I went up to the bar and was delighted to see they were selling Belgian ale, my favourite! Okay I'd never heard of the specific beer, Grimbergen but it was so lovely and refreshing! If you ever want a beer recommendation for Disneyland Paris, then I definitely recommend Grimbergen! It was at the Red Saloon Bar where I encountered one of my favourite Cast Members from the trip, the utterly hilarious Thibault! Now I have no idea why but somehow we ended up getting into a in-depth conversation about The Matrix. I know right, what a strange film to talk about at Disneyland Paris! We got talking about other films too and just had a generally good chat. He was such a great guy. Naturally I had to get a selfie with him!
17 - Castle Courtyard Poser
I loved having a PhotoPass on my trip. It was especially a blessing when it came to photos with the characters. On my last day though, they had photographers trying out new locations throughout the parks and hotels. The photographer in the castle courtyard was the first one I spotted. Naturally I posed for some photos. I especially love these ones because I think I look so chilled out, which I really was!
16 - Meeting The Dark Lord Himself!
As I mentioned above when meeting the Stormtrooper, that wasn't the best Star Wars meet and greet, the best was of course my meeting with The Dark Lord himself, Darth Vader. They'd never had a Star Wars meet and greet in all of my previous Disneyland Paris trips, so the chance to meet Darth Vader was one I couldn't pass up. When I decided to queue up on my second day, I couldn't believe my luck that the queue was only 20 minutes! I eventually got to the front and was lead inside to greet Lord Vader. He managed to be intimidating without saying one single word. It was so awesome to meet not only one of my favourite Star Wars characters but also one of my all time favourite film characters! I love how the PhotoPass pictures came out. Interestingly, you'll see how much better PhotoPass pictures can be when you compare my own camera to the PhotoPass camera in the photos below.
15 - Fun with Goofy and Pluto
Now who doesn't love these two! Goofy and Pluto are just pure awesomeness! You can always guarantee to get good hugs from the both of them. I met these two during the Extra Magic Hours on my third day. Being in the parks so early meant that there weren't very long queues for the characters. I literally only had two people in front of me when I met Goofy and Pluto. As I just mentioned, these two always give great hugs and this time was no exception! Goofy even did a little dance with me! Now this was one of the only moments where my own camera photos and the PhotoPass photos weren't much different in terms of quality. I think the lighting probably helped to be fair. My own camera photo is the one above and the PhotoPass picture is the one below. Still, I loved this moment very much! I should really meet them on a regular basis on future trips!
14 - Meeting Hannah and Natalie
I mentioned at the start of the blog about how I found it easy to talk to random people in Disneyland Paris after my conversation with the man next to me on the Eurostar to Disney. This was indeed very true, because I plucked up the courage to speak to so many other Brits, especially when I was waiting in lines for attractions. These were just general quick chit chats and nothing more. However, on the second night of my trip, I did the same thing and ended up making two genuine friends, and those two friends are Hannah and Natalie. The reason I first got talking to the two girls was because I didn't have a park guide on me and wondered when the fireworks were starting, so I decided to listen out for any English speakers walking past. The first English speakers were Hannah and Natalie! I asked them about the fireworks then we got into a general chat about our holidays.
We ended up going on Star Tours together, where I had a very funny moment! Basically, my seatbelt on the ride worked but it was coming up as failed on the checks. So the Cast Members asked me to try again and then it broke! So the three of us were kindly asked to get off and be at the front of the queue for the next one. The funniest part though was as we was leaving I said out loud "I think I've broken the ship!" and half of the guests in the ride burst out laughing! It was a pretty funny moment I must say! Anyway, after that slight hitch, we eventually rode Star Tours. Me and Hannah then went for a ride on Hyperspace Mountain, both screaming our heads off! We then all went off to watch Illuminations, the three of us all proudly singing away, especially when it came to 'Let It Go'.
After that, the girls invited me to join them for a drink at the rather lavish Fantasia Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, where they were staying. We had another great in depth chat about Disney and other things then I had to say goodbye because it was getting pretty late and I still had to walk back to the Hotel Cheyenne. After some goodbye hugs, I made my way back to the hotel, thinking about how awesome it was to have spent the evening with Hannah and Natalie. I never thought anything like that would happen on my solo trip. It was just so special. However, that wasn't to be the last of it! Oh no. You'll have to wait to find out about that though later!
13 - Stars On Parade
I'll be the first to say that I wasn't so sure when I heard they were changing the parade at Disneyland Paris this year. I mean the catchy 'Magic Everywhere' became an essential song for Disneyland Paris lovers. When I heard a preview of the new song 'Lost in the Magic', I wasn't so sure. Upon hearing it live with the parade itself, I knew I was wrong. The new parade is so so good! I love the parade floats and of course all of the characters themselves! The song too, it definitely grew on me and is now one of my favourite Disney tracks. All of these photos are from when I watched the parade on my third and fourth days of the trip. I especially love the magical moment I caught above of Anna and Elsa embracing with a big hug. Sisterly love at it's finest! Below are a section of some of my other favourite photos from the parade. There were just so many to choose from!
12 - Fun with Liz
Day four of my solo trip was special, because a good friend of mine came over for a day trip, just to meet me. Crazy right? Well that's my kind of crazy! Some of you may recognise my friend, why of course it's the wonderful Liz Read, or the Fairy Godmother as she goes by the name of on YouTube. We'd known each other for a few years on various Facebook groups but had unbelievably never met until that day.
The first thing we did together was a meet and greet with Goofy, which you can see above. Rather amusingly we found out that the French like to call Goofy 'Dingo', something neither of us had known until then. After that meet and greet, we headed over to the Tower of Terror. It was queueing up for this when we realised how hot the weather was. We were slowly burning to a crisp, which were Liz's own words! We then went on the Rock N' Roller Coaster together, one of my favourite coasters in all of Disneyland Paris. We also bumped into my newly found Disney friends Hannah and Natalie, not long before they had to make their way home.
After some fun at Walt Disney Studios, we headed over to Planet Hollywood for a spot of lunch. We just had to go to Planet Hollywood! It was Liz's first time there and I was even wearing my Planet Hollywood top, which was quite a good attire I thought! We vlogged a joint interview in there as well as us walking into the restaurant itself, where I was even greeted by the press and my adoring fans. Well not quite but if you've seen the vlog of this then you'll know what I mean!
Having finished off a nice meal, I ran back to my hotel to pick up my spare camera battery then caught back up with Liz for some fun in the Disneyland Park. Neither of us had ever been on Casey Junior, so we finally lost our Casey Junior virginity, yet we were left rather underwhelmed. After that we went on the storybook boat ride, one of my favourites if you want to relax. We then rode Hyperspace Mountain, again, a truly fantastic ride. After that we did some shopping, with me taking advantage of Liz's Annual Pass discount! We then watched the parade, where I almost lost it because I was getting crushed.
Not long after, it was time to say goodbye to Liz before she headed home on the Eurostar. It really was a fantastic day! It was just so nice to finally meet Liz, having known her for so long. Meeting at our favourite place, Disneyland Paris, made it all the more amazing. If you're reading this Liz, I just like to thank you again for such a wonderful day!
11 - The Starlit Princess Waltz
Who doesn't love a Disney Princess? Well I certainly love them, that's for sure! I couldn't resist watching The Starlit Princess Waltz, which is one of the new shows put on for the Disneyland Paris' 25th Anniversary celebrations. I saw this show twice but the second time I saw it on my third day of the trip, I went really overboard with photos because I was sitting right at the front. I couldn't quite believe my luck but no way was I not going to take loads of photos! I'll let the photos below do all the taking but I think you'll like them!
10 - Meeting Donald Duck
Now I don't want to cause a scene here but Mr Duck is the number 1 classic Disney character for me. I'm sorry Mr Mouse but I prefer your pal Donald. I've also loved Donald Duck. He's just so mischievous! My meeting with Donald Duck on my first morning in Disneyland Paris was great fun! He looked at my Star Wars bag then started an invisible lightsaber battle, how awesome! I also love a good Donald hug, he's one of the best for them without a doubt!
9 - Getting Merry at The Sports Bar
As I mentioned in number 14, I had become good friends with the lovely Hannah and Natalie literally in one night on my second day. I didn't think we'd probably get to meet up again but I sent a Facebook message to Hannah asking if they both wanted to meet up the next evening and go for a drink at The Sports Bar. They both said they'd love to and we met each other in the Sleeping Beauty Castle courtyard.
Instead of just meeting for a drink, we ended up doing more attractions together. First we all went on Phantom Manor, then me and Hannah headed off to Big Thunder Mountain. After that we rode Hyperspace Mountain one last time together. The three of us then once again sang our hearts out to the music of Illuminations.
After that had finished, we finally headed to Disney Village, so I could show the girls The Sports Bar. I gave them a quick tour of Disney Village as they hadn't really checked it out before that. We then sat down at The Sports Bar and quite happily had a couple of drinks. Let me tell you, those Gulowtinis must be strong because I felt quite merry after just two! The girls happily took part in a little vlog and then I walked with them back to the Disneyland Hotel, where we said our goodbyes.
I thought the previous night meeting them was amazing but this night together in the Disneyland Park and Disney Village was nothing short of magical. It was so special spending the evening with my two newly made Disney friends. Best of all though, I knew they were genuine friends. Now we're back home we still talk, which is a testament to how lovely both Hannah and Natalie are. If you're both reading this, I just want to thank you for making those two nights one the biggest and most magical highlights of my holiday! I loved it!
8 - Meeting Tigger and Eeyore
Now I've always loved the characters from The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh. Apart from the cute yellow bear himself, I've always had a big soft spot for Eeyore. He's just cuteness personified! You can't help but want to give him a great big cuddle!
I was amazed to see Tigger and Eeyore doing an unscheduled meet and greet near the windmill in Fantasyland. I was like no way am I missing out on a photo with these two, especially Eeyore! I was also happy to meet Tigger too because it was my first time meeting him since I was only a child. I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted with a great big group hug and I really didn't want to let go! I'm very thankful to the Cast Member for taking these lovely photos, they're definitely some of the best animated character meet and greet photos from my trip.
7 - Cast Members Everywhere!
Oh the Disneyland Paris Cast Members, oh how I miss them! I can honestly say that they are some of the most awesome people I know! Anyone that knows the Disney Company will tell you that Cast Members are an integral part to a Disney holiday and my solo trip was no exception. Being alone, the Cast Members felt more like friends than just staff. Being there for 5 days, I would see the same Cast Members most days and they always recognised me. There are so many to mention that I could write a whole blog about them, actually I might one day! Anyway, there are some I'd like to give a special mention to.
First I'd like to mention Natasha. Now Natasha is someone I actually know anyway. I'd been friends with her on Facebook for well over a year before meeting her in Disneyland Paris. We became friends through her own Disneyland Paris Facebook group 'Main Street Dreams'. It was so good to finally meet Natasha, and funnily enough it was totally at random! On my third day, I was in one of the many boutiques on Main Street USA and was just having a browse. I looked over at the counter and was sure I recognised the server, I was right, it was Natasha! We had a good little chat about Disney and our groups and, naturally, took a couple of selfies, which you can see above. I also met Natasha the next day in the shop just under the entrance to the Disneyland Park. Natasha was lovely and we'll hopefully be spending a day in the parks together on my next trip!
As I said, there are way too many Cast Members to mention because each and every one of them made my trip extra special, some of them really went the extra mile. One thing I did notice is that certain attractions seem to have the most amazing Cast Members. Phantom Manor and Tower of Terror seem to have the best, most likely because they have to get into the creepy acting to be part of the experience. Whatever it is I love it anyway! Below is a selection of some selfies with my favourite Cast Members I met.
6 - Meeting Belle
Please don't shoot me but Beauty and the Beast isn't one of my favourite Disney films. Don't get me wrong, I do like it, I really do, but it's not one of my favourites. Still, that didn't stop me from wanting to meet the beautiful Belle. With the recent release of the new Beauty and the Beast live action film, it was only natural that there be a new Belle meet and greet. After meeting Cinderella the previous day, I wanted to meet as many Princesses as I could. As soon as the Walt Disney Studios Park opened, I pretty much ran to the Art of Disney Animation where the meet and greet with Belle was taking place. Now quite unbelievably, there was literally only one family in front of me in the queue, happy days I thought to myself! I waited excitedly and had a big beaming smile when it was my turn to greet Belle and I gave her the most almighty big hug. She was so sweet bless her. She was very talkative, asking me about my holiday. After having PhotoPass pictures taken, I took a selfie with Belle, which is one of my personal favourites from the whole trip. This was definitely one of my favourite meet and greets for sure. Maybe I'll have to give Beauty and the Beast a watch again!
I guess dreams really do come true and what a practically perfect moment this was! It was my last day at Disneyland Paris, sad I know! I was high on Disney but still sad at the prospect of going home. I was heading out of Walt Disney Studios when I turned around and saw Mary Poppins and one of her penguins. No way was I not going to have a photo with Mary Poppins, one of my ultimate favourite Disney characters, and films for that matter! I got in a long queue, with a group of young Brits in front of me, so we got chatting and a couple of us commented on how much we love Mary Poppins. After a while it was my turn to meet Mary and her penguin. Naturally, I gave the cute and cuddly penguin a big hug first, then I did the same to Mary. We engaged in a little chat, mostly about England, after all, Mary is quintessentially English isn't she! We then posed for some great photos, including the mischievous penguin wearing my hat. Love it! I can't tell you how good this moment was, it was just pure Disney magic, at it's very finest. It was certainly a jolly holiday with Mary, that's for sure!
4 - Mingling with Royalty
Mingling with all these royal characters eh? The high life I know! Seriously though, this totally unplanned meet and greet with Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip was one of many highlights on the totally awesome day three. Yes, day three really did have that many amazing moments, a majority of my trip highlights were from that day, including the next one. Anyway! As I said, this meet and greet was totally out of the blue and was quite simply one of the best. I walked out of Studio 1 in Walt Disney Studios and turned around to see Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip meeting guests. I hadn't met Princess Aurora on this trip yet so jumped at the chance. Surprisingly, in all my years of going to Disney parks, this was my first ever time meeting a Disney Prince! So when it came to my turn, I shook hands with Prince Phillip and then gave Princess Aurora a big hug. Now let me tell you, these two were so much fun to talk to! They provided me with the most talkative meet and greet on the whole trip. The funniest part of our conversation was when I tried to remember Prince Phillip's name. For love nor money could I remember his name! We all laughed about it though. After a Cast Member took some lovely photos of us, I then asked for a couple of selfies, which they happily obliged to. They commented how having a selfie was like looking into a magical mirror, which in a way, I suppose is kind of true! Still, they provided me with two of the best selfies from the whole trip. I absolutely loved this meet and greet!
3 - "I can't believe it but I've just met Captain Jack Sparrow!"
I still can't get over this moment. Jack Sparrow is one of my all-time favourite Disney characters and it was my mission to meet him on this trip. Lucky for me, he had a new scheduled meet and greet at Walt Disney Studios. However, that's not where I was to meet him. I was wondering around the Pirate Caves for the first time (where I almost went over) and all of a sudden I heard this loud booming voice. I thought to myself surely not, that's not gonna be him and it was, it was him, Captain Jack Sparrow! He had a little crowd of people around him and I made my way to the front and had a great meet and greet. He had me in stitches the whole time! While the Cast Member was taking photos on my camera, I got my phone out for a selfie and took what has to be the best selfie from the whole trip! It's just brilliant! I also love the photo of me taking a selfie with Jack, his face was just priceless. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, so much so I even had to record a little vlog as I could't contain my excitement. I'll never forget this moment, I really wont and I don't want to either!
2 - Smitten with Cinderella!
Oh Cinderella, how I love you so! This moment has to go down as the greatest meet and greet from my first ever solo trip and let me tell you why. I was pottering around the Disneyland Park on my second day and was thinking how I hadn't met many characters that day, so I thought to myself, why not head over to the Princess Pavilion. It said Cinderella was greeting guests and I thought perfect! Cinderella has always been one of my favourite Disney classics ever since I was little. In fact, it's a favourite with all of my family. My Mum loves it and both of my Grandads especially love it. This had potential to be one of my greatest ever meet and greets and it was, it so was!
After waiting for what seemed an eternity (it was a good two hours!) I finally made my way to the front of the queue and was guided over to Cinderella. I was instantly smitten! She was just so beautiful! Now a lot of female guests comment on the Princes so I don't think it's wrong for me to say that I was a little bit in love with this Cinderella. She was just so so lovely. As you can see in the brilliant photo above, I was a little bit shy at first because I was so smitten but we got talking and I mentioned how all the family love her and the other characters from her story. We then posed for some lovely photos and I said goodbye with a big hug. I walked out of the Princess Pavilion feeling so happy about what had just happened. This was one downright amazing meet and greet! I still smile about it now. The above photo is a very worthy contender for best photo of the trip but I think you may agree on why I've chosen the next as my number 1. Before we get to that though, enjoy a couple more from my lovely meet and greet with Cinderella.
1 - High on Disney!
Now if that feeling of being on holiday at Disneyland Paris could be made into a drug, I would be an addict! Pure and simple. It's safe to say that throughout my trip, I was high on the Disney spirit. This simply amazing photo of me jumping for joy really captures that feeling of being high on Disney, literally! This was taken on my last day, not too long before I was due to go home. Quite honestly, I was feeling a bit sad, knowing that I didn't have much time left but I was still happy to have some photos taken by the PhotoPass photographer. After some rather casual poses, he said he wanted to try out an action shot of me jumping in the air. I think the result speaks for itself. I just think this photo really tells the story of my whole trip. It was my first ever solo trip and it turned out to be the best holiday I've ever had at Disneyland Paris. I honestly can't imagine there ever being a better photo of me at Disneyland Paris than this one!
Well thank you for taking the time to look and read about my favourite photos from the trip. There was quite a lot to get through here I know! Trust me, it wasn't easy narrowing it down to just these photos, there's literally hundreds more I could have included. I have so many wonderful memories from my first ever solo trip and I'm so so glad I managed to get photos of all of them. Like I've already mentioned countless times, it really was the best holiday I've ever had at Disneyland Paris. I really did have the time of my life. I met so many lovely Cast Members, made some great new friends, met lots of characters, just everything was amazing!
Here's to the next trip!
Oh I love it!
