Disney Parks News ♥ September 2014 ♥ Frozen, Halloween, Christmas and loads more! ♥

Hey Lovelies ♥ I've been wanting to do this post for a while now and I feel I'm finally ready to try :) I'm going to sum up most of the news I've found out over this month and bits of last month about Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Most of my news will be about Disneyland Paris as I know most about that one as that's the one I live nearest too ;) I will also add some random disney news at the end ;)

There's been lots of drama and news in the Walt DisneyWorld this month including Frozen drama and the start of Halloween! 

Frozen Takeover!

So earlier this month we got the sad news that Maelstrom will be closing to be turned into a Frozen based ride in the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. I've never been to WDW therefore I've never been on Maelstrom but I've seen videos and it looked great. Of course I'm EXTREMELY happy that they are building a Frozen ride as I'm obsessed Frozen (if you didn't know!) but I just feel sorry for all the Maelstrom lovers. Disney Parks Blog said 'The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favourite moments and music from the film. The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. We think these “Frozen” elements are great complements to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film.'

This also came with the news that Arendelle Sisters will be a big presence this Christmas as Queen Elsa will now transform Cinderella's Castle into an ice palace every night in early November. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf will also all be making an appearance in 'Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade'. I feel extremely excited about this but I do feel sorry for Cinderella as it is her castle. I wish they could have done it together or something but oh well. The parade sounds great and I'm glad they are keeping Kristoff :)

Anna and Elsa's Boutique

So about a month ago DisneyParks blog announced that Anna and Elsa were getting their own boutique in Downton Disney. The boutique will take over from Studio Disney 365 and will open on October 6th. The original opening date was mid September but they got delayed and had to make it a few weeks more but it's better to make it perfect! I'm really excited for this and can't wait to see what it looks like! Hope Disneyland Paris makes one of these ;) To find out more click here and here.

ALOT of news has entered Disneyland Paris recently including a new CEO, princess visits and Halloween!

New CEO
Recently Disneyland Paris said goodbye to CEO Phillipe Gas and hello to the new CEO Tom Wolber. Phillipe has taken over Shanghai Disneyland so Good luck! Tom has been very busy in WDW as senior vice president of Walt Disney World Resort and Transportation Operations. He has overseen all 28 WDW hotels and helped launch Disney Dream and Fantasy cruise ships. He was helped continue the growth of Walt Disney Parks sports business. He even helped open Disneyland Paris back in 1992. I'm excited for the future of Disneyland Paris! For more information click here!

New Shop and Refurbishments

There is a ALOT of refurbishments going on at DLP at the moment including the Earful Tour getting a re coat of colour and new logo. Main Street has been getting an upgrade too including a new shop which replaced the Photo shop on the corner. It is called New Century Notions - Flora's Unique Boutique and is a vintage fashion shop with other souvenirs inside. It is very big and I personally love the look of it. It named after Walt's mother Flora which I think is adorable and I love that people actually thought about this ♥ For more pictures and information click here and here!

A Frozen Christmas!
Disneyland Paris Christmas Season is going to be bigger and better than ever! Sadly Magic on Parade won't be showing during the Christmas season but there are things that are amazing happening :)

Huge News and Huge Queues!
I got way to over excited by the news that ELSA AND ANNA ARE COMING TO DISNEYLAND PARIS! Do you feel my excitement?! Yes finally Elsa and Anna will be doing Meet and Greets this Christmas at the Princess Pavilion. You will be able to meet BOTH princesses after that HUGE wait but it's gotta be worth it right ;)
Our Scottish lass, Merida will be making her debut appearance for a meet and greet with Winter by Casey's Corner (where Rapunzel did her Spring greet) so that's great for all the princess fans like me! I hope they both keep doing meet and greets after Christmas as I would love to meet them ♥

Parades and Promenades
So once again the Christmas Cavalcade will return but this time with a new float as Magic on Parade isn't running. The new float will be called 'Sugar and Spicy' and including Chip & Dale with others. There's been no pictures or art so far but I'm excited to see what it looks like with a name like that! The Princess will also be having Christmas fun this year as they are doing a Princess Promenade including the Arendelle sisters which sounds alot like the Spring and Villain Promenades so hopefully character interaction without having to queue hours! I hope so as it will be something different for Disneyland Paris having princess walking about :)

Lights and Fireworks
The giant tree is to return to spot with the light celebration happening with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket talking and singing about Wishes. I've never seen it but it's meant to be magical..but really what part of Disney isn't?!
Disney Dreams! of Christmas will be returning which is great news as I watched it on Youtube last year and loved it especially the Frozen part. I think more people will enjoy it this year as alot of people hadn't seen Frozen when it debuted and now it's a major part of some peoples life. I love any type of Disney Dreams! show as it's my favourite ♥

Other Things

• Meet Minnie in her Christmas Outfit at her usual spot :)
• No Christmas would be right without Sandy Claws..or Jack dressed as Santa! 
• Use Photopass+ to capture all these amazing moments! 

If your going for Christmas have a truly magical time as it always looked amazing ♥

I just wanna finish by touching on the newest Disney on Ice show..FROZEN! Yes Frozen is now on ice..it was a pretty obvious choice ;) I can't wait this is come to the UK! Here a picture of Elsa during Let it Go and a video of the highlights to enjoy!

Picture by Inside the Magic

Right that's it for my Disney News! It won't be doing another long one like this for a while as it took SO long but I enjoyed it and hoped it helped some of you ♥
I actually made a Spotify Playlist to listen to while blogging so I thought I would share..it includes the songs from the Frozen and Big Hero 6 trailers as I love them both and other songs I'm loving :')
Listen here - https://play.spotify.com/user/lilpinkrockstar/playlist/6Ga4Da6EpDvhPVqIjwnp4Z

Oh and I saw the second Big Hero 6 trailer and I'm SO excited! I think all the characters look so great and so far my favourite characters are Hiro, Honey Lemon and of course Baymax :') I'm really liking Hiro's character from the trailers and extra videos but I don't know why..well guess I have to wait longer as it comes out in January for us in the UK :'(

Anyways...bye lovelies ♥

September Favourites ♥

Hey lovelies ♥ I actually can't believe it's nearly end of September already! So that means it's time for my September favourites post :') I've missed out beauty entirely this month and I don't use that many beauty products and it's pointless of me adding it in at the moment ;)

Music

I have been loving quite alot of music lately but my favourites are All about that Bass by Meghan Trainor and Break Free by Ariana Grande and Zedd :) I love the lyrics and beat to Meghan song, it's just perfect especially for bigger girls like me! Ariana's song is pretty sweet too, I've had it on repeat a few times ;) I've also been loving Ugly Heart by G.R.L even though I know they had tragic news soon after releasing that one of their members had taken her own life :'( I also love Amnesia by 5SOS as I love them anyway and it's a cute song :)

 

Gaming

This month I've been LOVING Sims 4! I was very worried in fact about this game as EA kept telling us this that were quite negative about the game like toddlers and pools not appearing the base game which I still think is pretty ridiculous but oh well! I do miss the colour wheel but the selection of colours are pretty good and I don't actually mind having a closed world to be honest as my computer isn't a beast computer and now Sims 4 runs great on it! If you wanna add me on origin..nevergrowup_x (my picture is elsa!) 

Movie

I have watched a few movies this month including Bad Neighbours, which I thought was quite funny and Mr Peabody and Sherman, which was adorable and I actually really enjoyed! My favourite was probably Cinderella 3 though as I hadn't seen it in years and it finally came on Disney Junior. I love it so much and I think it's great since it's a disney sequel..and we all know how they normally turn out (excluding a few!). I really like the songs in this one and I think the animation and plot is good. I actually have Cinderella 2 on my planner to watch at the moment and I'm so excited as it was one of my favourite movies as a child!

Book

My favourite book is month is a new Disney book I recently got (literally like 2 days ago!) from my Nan and Grandad. I have been thinking about buying one of these for a while but this is the new one that they brought out last month with all the princesses up to Merida :) I love it as it tells you all the characters and their personalities plus the whole story for every princess. I'm definitely going to buy the Frozen guide next to go with this one ♥

App

I found this app a few days ago called VSCO CAM and I'm in love ♥ It's a photo editing app with loads of different types of picture effects. I highly recommend it and it's also totally free with is AMAZING! 

 

Website

Surprise Surprise! My favourite app this month is INSTAGRAM! I love it so much! I pintrade, penpal and make tons of friends on instagram and I also get to share all my disney pictures I take to other disney lovers ♥ If you wanna follow me - nevergrowup_x 

TV

I have been loving all new Sofia the First on Disney Junior this month! I love Sofia anyway but this month they have had new episodes on a Monday :) They started 2 weeks ago and that included an episode with Snow White which was adorable! I love the songs and characters in this and can't wait for more episodes. I'm also really excited for OUAT this weekend :') Sadly it doesn't air in the UK anymore but thank god for the internet! 

That's it for my favourites but I'll be posting again soon!

bye lovelies ♥

HUGE Disney Summer Haul 2014 ♥ Part 2 ♥

Hey lovelies ♥ I haven't been to good today and felt pretty sad all day so I decided to cheer myself up by blogging. I hope you all liked my little gifset I made for tumblr that I posted the other day :')

I'm starting off with a gift my amazing sister got me as I was having a rough patch and she went shopping. She got it in The Entertainer and I love it ♥ It's a sticker dispenser, where you can make stickers using the stamps on a roll of sticker paper in a little machine. They come out really well and the stamp selection is great as they are all great pictures of the characters :') She also found me some frozen wrapping paper which I love and can't wait to wrap my book covers in them ;)

I finally cute this super cute Ariel makeup bag from Primark. They had one left in my local primark and actually thought I knew what to do with it as I don't actually use makeup much..spoiler alert into my life ;) I was going to put my 3DS in it so that I could keep it safe but now I use it to keep bits and pieces that my penpals have sent me :') 

My next three things were from another trip out with my Nan and Grandad. I got some more stickers and cards for my collections :) I also got a new frozen book which is Anna's Book of Secrets! I have filled some of it out but I need to complete it with pictures and everything :') I recently found out there's an Elsa Book of Secrets too so that maybe a future purchase if it's any different to this one ;)

My favourite purchase from the day was my Tinkerbell doll plush! I have loved Tink forever and she has always been one of my favourite characters along with Peter so I'm really happy to have her :) She was actually the last one in the store on that day..they had restocked in the morning but she sold out so I was super lucky! I love her so much ♥ Now to get my boy Peter ;)

I actually went shopping with my friend the next day and visited the Disney Store again..naturally ;) They had restocked abit and had a few things back in stock..don't ask about frozen..nothing new :/ They did have the Zarina doll back in stock though which I was so hyped about as I love Zarina and they had stopped their Pirate Fairy range for abit and I didn't know if she would come back but luckily she did! I love her dress so much which is why I bought the doll as she has a really weird different outift on the plush (which I haven't seen in ages btw) so I love this doll ♥ I really wanna get the Periwinkle one to go with her as they don't do the Periwinkle plush doll here in the UK :'(

I also bought this Frozen pen from the Disney Store. They had these in stock for awhile but I could never find them until I spotted them on the cashtill! I had to get one to add to my collection and I love it ♥ I was really tempeted to take it into my school to annoy some of my teachers as I guess it's not a real school pen but I got lazy and couldn't be bothered ;)

My favourite buy of the day was actually the last thing I bought. I shopped and looked around but eventually went back to the Disney Store after I didn't find anything better than this little cute..she was hard to beat ;) I love her! I've been wishing for an animator doll since I first saw one but they always looked too big but I decided one can't do any harm and I love her ♥ I also really love Tinkerbell and Anna's one but Rapunzel is the little girl for me :') If I was able to get another Tinkerbell would be my next ;) Rapunzel's hair won it for me as it would naturally do since it's so freakin long! I wanted hair I could play with and brush like a doll and Tink's was just too short for me ;) I would love to own more Animator dolls one day but honestly I'm more of a plushie girl :')

That's it for now. I have bought other things over the past month but I will do a collective haul if I feel like it in the near future :) I really wanna do a disney news post too about all the gossip, rumours, annocments and events but I don't know yet ;) 

Anyways, bye lovelies..I will leave you with another small gifset of my queen ♥
