Disney on Ice presents Into the Magic show review

In our home, Disney is a trustworthy source of joy and family bonding. The magic of Disney is enchanting.

My love of Disney began many moons ago when I was a child, with films and trips to Disney parks being treasured memories from my childhood.

With the experience of Disney magic being one that transcends age, for me Disney provides wonderful nostalgia and a connection to my inner child. Being a parent I can re-experience the magic with my children; with Disney films, toys and experiences creating beloved shared family moments as I witness them enjoy the wonder that Disney evokes as they are bewitched by the magic of Disney.

As my boys love all things Disney, with them all having their own favourite films and characters, Disney on Ice is a show they love. Both my eldest and middle have seen Disney on Ice shows a couple of times with them being enthralled by Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic and enchanted with Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment show. However, my youngest who has also fallen in love with Disney as he grows up has never experienced a spellbinding Disney on Ice show and often asks to see one as well as go to a Disney theme park. 

Whilst his dream of visiting a Disney theme park has not quite been achieved yet, but I am working on it, his wish to see a Disney on Ice show came true the other week when we watched Disney on Ice presents into the Magic in Cardiff at the Ultilita arena.

Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment review

Disney stories and films (plus an enchanting visit to Disney World Florida) are entwined in many memories from my childhood. They evoke thoughts of the people I watched them with and the joy I had and still have in watching them. Winnie the Pooh, The Fox and the Hound, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, The Little Mermaid, Flight of The Navigator, Beauty and The Beast, Fantasia to name but a few. Then in later years Hocus Pocus, Cool Runnings, The Lion King, Finding Nemo and the Toy Story series. Really those titles are just the tip of the iceberg of Disney films that I love.

Fast forward too many years for my liking, now as a parent I get to share my love of Disney with my children. From a young age they have been bewitched by Disney magic. Disney old and new has been embraced by us. Whilst they love all Disney productions they do have a soft spot for the animated films.

Disney On Ice Worlds of Enchantment

Journey across Disney's magical lands with Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment

Magical Disney bedroom ideas

We currently live in a 2 bedroom house. To help make it feel not so cramped the dining room is a dining room and toy room combined. Thankfully the dining room is big enough to accommodate both uses.

With our home only having 2 bedrooms the boys have to share a bedroom. The bedroom is a large room so both of their beds fit in with ease along with bedroom furniture for their clothing and a few toy boxes. Even with all the bedroom furniture they also have plenty of room to play, snuggle up to read a book or watch a show on the tablet.

One of the downsides of the boys sharing a bedroom especially as they have an age gap of 4 years is that they want their bedroom decorated differently. Until now we have decorated their section of the bedroom to their likes so the room is split with 2 different decors.

Now that Jelly Bean is 2 he is outgrowing his nursery style jungle animals decor so we have been thinking about redecorating. With that in mind I have been trying to think of a theme that would suit both of the boys so that the room is no longer split with 2 opposing themes.

Disney to the rescue!!

This past weekend we were delighted to visit Cardiff to watch the show and be transported into the world of Disney.

Disney parks - memories and dreams

When I was 12 I was very fortunate to go on a truly memorable, once in a lifetime family holiday to Orlando, Florida in USA. During our stay in Orlando we enjoyed a couple of magical days at Walt Disney World Resort Florida. When we visited the magical resort it was celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

As it was such a memorable and amazing holiday - even to this day I vividly remember the park and meeting Mickey Mouse! - I would love to take my boys on a similar holiday.

Disney Rummy - Esdevium Games review.

As we love Disney and love games, when Esdevium Games sent us Disney Rummy it sounded like the game for us.

Based on the classic family game of rummy, Disney Rummy is a fun and simple game the whole family can enjoy.

Decorating Bug's bedroom Disney style.

When we found out we were expecting Bug we were excited about creating a unique nursery for our little baba. As both Lee and I love animals we soon settled on an animal theme for the nursery which we thought would be a great unisex design.

As Bug grew inside of me and my bump got bigger and bigger Lee worked hard on the nursery, pouring his love into creating the perfect room for his first born.  After hours and hours of painting by hand with love, sweat and tears being shed (plus a little help from mama-to-be too) Lee had created a wondrous animal themed nursery ready for when we lovingly welcomed Bug into the world.

Win £500 Canvas Holidays vouchers with Canvas Holidays’ character competition.

Holidays can be a wonderful time for families, where lots of fun and adventures are had as families make memories that can be treasured for years to come.

I look forward to the family holidays we will have over the years and cannot wait to experience fun and adventures with Bug (and hopefully his siblings if we are blessed in the future) on holidays in the UK and all across the globe, experiencing a range of cultures and attractions as well as experiencing a variety of different types of holidays including camping, beach, self-catering, winter and safari.

One of our dream holiday destinations is Disneyland Paris.

As I have amazing memories of a family holiday we had as a child to Disney World in Florida I would love to take Bug there one day to create more amazing memories with my own little family. Not only would I love to go to Disney World in Florida but I would also love to go to Disneyland in Paris too.

Having never been to France I would love to have a family holiday to France where we could combine our want of a camping holiday and our desire to visit Disneyland Paris by camping near Disneyland Paris. It would be dream holiday for us to explore France, camp in a rural setting where we could experience the beauty of the French countryside and visit Disneyland Paris where we could be enchanted by the magic of Disney.

As the costly expense of taking family on holiday can be a hard hit to the bank balance, especially when it is a dream magical family holiday, it always comes in handy if a family holiday can be snapped up on offer to save money or even better still when holiday vouchers are won that can be put towards buying your dream family holiday.

If like me you would love a dream holiday to Disneyland Paris then Canvas Holidays may well be able to help make your dream holiday come true with their latest competition which has an impressive prize of £500 Canvas Holidays vouchers.

Disney Infinity * star-studded digital parade *

I have had a lifelong love affair with Disney.  Since I was a child I have loved watching Disney films and have fond memories of watching them over the years.  I still love watching Disney films and now that I have Bug I have the best excuse to indulge my love of Disney and snuggle up on the sofa with Bug and watch Disney films.

Bug seems to be following his mummy’s footsteps and is a huge fan of Disney already.  He already has a few favourite Disney films that he adores watching again and again, he loves Cars, Monsters Inc. and Toy Story.

As Bug loves Disney he was very excited when he watched Disney’s video showing the World’s first digital Disney Parade as an all-star cast of much loved Disney characters ran amok across London, turning the capital into their personal playground. 

Bug was overjoyed watching the video especially when he caught sight of his favourite characters, Mike Wazowski and Sulley (Monsters Inc. and Monsters University) as they paraded across London. 

Joining Mike and Sulley, the star spangled parade also featured legendary Disney characters Buzz Lightyear and Jessie (Toy Story), Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean), Mr and Mrs Incredible (The Incredibles) and The Lone Ranger and Tonto (The Lone Ranger).

Munchkin Monsters Toddler Dining Set Review.

We love Munchkin; their colourful and fun bath toys are great for water babies who love splishy, splashy bath time fun and their Click Lock cups are invaluable leak and spill proof cups.  We fell in love their Click Lock cups when we reviewed them and they are now the only cups we use; Bug loves the bright colours of the cups which are a great shape for him to hold and drink from and I love the fact that even after being excessively used over a period of many months they are still 100% leak and spill proof. 

As we love Munchkin we were excited about Munchkin’s exciting news that they have teamed up with Disney Baby.
