Disney-themed unboxing and review videos including merchandise, Loungefly, Funko Pops, pins, ears, Disney traditions, the parks themselves, Donald Duck impressions and more! Main video uploads on Tuesdays and Fridays, shorts intermittently.
Hi everyone! I'm Katie and I live in the UK. I'm a big geek and life-long Disney fan with a particular love of Ariel, Elsa and that iconic sassy little Aristocat, Marie. I also do a pretty good impression of Donald Duck...
The world can be a tough place at times and I've definitely found comfort in the world of Disney on more than one occasion. I recently lost someone I love and am channelling that loss into something positive that I hope will make others smile, by bringing some moments of Disney magic into your lives with unboxings and review videos, as well as videos of the everyday moments of magic.
Hope you enjoy and please do subscribe to see more! :-)
Wow I prefere the " after" version so much!!😍😍✨️✨️🩵🩵🩵 what a gorgeous funko it is now!! Excellent work dear!!!👏🏻👏🏻❤ And your sweet cat wanted to help you aww🥰🥰💞
Aww thank so much Angela! I was excited for you to see this, I thought you'd enjoy all the sparkliness of it 🤗💖 Lol Loki is lucky he didn't end up covered in blue rhinestones - I did have to brush the underside of his paws each time he climbed up with me, he sent them scattering a few times and the unglued crystals got stuck in his pads 😂🫣🩵 Bless his little cotton socks! 😻
I have that Fairy Godmother too!!! Just love her 😍😍😍 Mine are staged next to my Jim Shore carriage... may have a tiny Jaq and Gus Gus too...🥰 Cant wait to see your display!! Love hearing how others get inspired by certain pieces like I do!! It would be my dream job to stage merch displays for Disney ♥♥♥
Aww thanks Meg, glad you enjoyed it! It is really fun, you can often watch them making more intricate characters like they sell in the shop too - I could watch glassmakers for hours ✨
Hi Graham, that's exciting! I hope you have an amazing time - there are quite a few rides that have single rider like Web Slingers so you'll be able to make the most of your trip! Some of my other videos might also be helpful but if you'd like any specific tips let me know and I'll be happy to help 😁 Thanks for watching 🤗
Aww thank you my lovely 😘 It was special - i really appreciated that the cast member was able to fit all the wording I wanted and even engrave a heart for me as well. He did a really nice job 🩵✨
Very good and complete video! Love the cuddling with which you talk about everything, it’s noticeable you love Disney. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🥰💖
You're welcome Karl! I'm still obsessed with your inverted pictures btw 😻 Yes it was from Robin at UV84. Agreed, I bought one from him that's signed by Laurie recently too - he has an awesome collection! 😁
@@AristoKat23 Robin does indeed as he's some epic signed pops and some pops I didn't even know exist. The negative art went down well at londin card show where I was a guest artiat
It's so fun isn't it! I love all the colour and chaos of everything going on - I would happily have seen it at least twice more to try and watch all of the different groups of performers (we saw it twice) so it's nice to be able to watch it back and see what I missed 😂 Those flames were flipping hot! Thanks for watching ☺️
Oh my goodness this is so gorgeous I'm speachless 🤗😻😻✨️✨️ I love horses so... wow!❤❤ I have the one with Mulan on her horse and it's amazing ❤.. I love carousels too!! Since I was a child !!🤗✨️🥰🐴🐎🦄
I can't wait to see your reaction to what I do with it Angela, I think it will be right up your street! 💖✨ Ooh that Mulan one sounds pretty, I will have to Google it! (Just did - it's SO pretty!!!!) I did consider starting a 'Women with horses' Funko collection - informally I have, I have Elsa with Nokk and the marvel Valkyrie and Pegasus one 😻 I don't know what it is about a carousel but they're so relaxing and beautiful 🎠 I love seeing the double decker ones you occasionally come across too! 😻🩷🐎
@@AristoKat23 omg now I can't wait to see what you will do!!🤗💖💖😻😻 so happy you like the Mulan I got and wow I would love the Elsa with Nokk and Pegasus ones✨️✨️😍❤️ I totally agree about carousels🥰🦄🐴
Hi, as you talked about the reservation and renovation, on Disney's website it's still possible to make reservations up to 30/03/2025 😊 I'm waiting for the next slots to open, it will be next month if I'm not mistaken and I hope to book the Club level for 10/2025 🤞
Hi there! Thanks for watching and for sharing that info 😁 It's a lovely hotel if you haven't been there before, I hope you are able to get the booking you want for October 🤗 Happy to help with any other tips if you need them! 💖
It's brilliant isn't it Angela! I had no idea what to expect - I had no idea this area even existed in the park 😂 Love finding new areas, shows and rides! It felt like a good time to share this one since I've been enjoying the gymnastics and trampolining in the Olympics as well as the BMX riding! 💖🚲❤️💚🧡💛🩵💜
That's so true, all the others appear quite distinct from the HM portraits, don't they. I'll have to look into whether there's a backstory that links all of them across Walt Disney world and Disneyland Paris - distant relatives of one another perhaps... 🧐🤔
the bb8 sipper is so cute. love the pet thor rag! the Sleeping beauty tapestry is so beautiful and the ariel pin is wonderful!!!!!! great haul!!!!!! a WAND!!!!!!
Thanks Meg!!! It was fun to look back through it all, I remember thinking I thought I'd just bought lots of little odds and ends 😂 Love making those wands, such a lovely thing to do ☺️✨💖
Hi lovely, brilliant video, we loved this!❤️ We’ve booked for December and can’t wait, how much of the hotel have they renovated so far do you know? We cannot find anybody saying that the renovations have started so we were getting a bit worried that our stay would be disturbed whilst there!❤️
Hi there Lucy, thanks for watching and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video! 😁 Ok, so I was there towards the end of June and I am pretty certain from what the cast member who pointed it out said, that the preview bit I showed was the only bit at that point that had been done, so a handful of rooms and corridor. They were also waiting to see where they'd be deployed to, so I think the timeframe is still not clear or at least isn't being communicated fully yet. I'd seen a note from someone online (Reddit I think) saying they were booked for September and I got the impression that the whole place would be closed while they did the renovation. So, in theory if all that's right you should be able to stay without an interruption. But I wonder if it's worth emailing the concierge to ask? They may have a better idea. I also was able to find a page that might be helpful (I think I included it in the video description) but there may also be a hyperlink from here: www.disneylandparis.com/en-int/faq/hotels/hotel-refurbishments/ Hope you have an amazing time, when in December are you going? I'll be there before Christmas staying at the Disneyland hotel, I am really excited to see the Christmas decor 😁
@@AristoKat23 yes I definitely think I’m going to email too! Thank you so much! We’re going the week before Christmas🥰 Ooh how magical!! We were going to go there but it’s our first time and our children will only be 2, and the other 3 months🙊 so we said we’ll do the castle when they’re a little bit older! It looks gorgeous though!❤️
You're very welcome indeed ☺️ Ha, that's when I'll be there too! 🎄 Feel free to say hi if you spot me 😁 It's a great time of year to go, just be prepared for the cold with your layers and you will love it! The princesses all have their winter dresses on with long sleeves, very cute to see ☺️ If you want any other tips let me know and I hope you have an amazing time! 💖
Oh brilliant! ☺️ Really pleased you found it helpful and I'm excited for you to stay there 🤗 Hope you have an amazing time and if there's anything that you'd like tips on ahead of your trip feel free to reach out. Thanks for watching 💖✨
Thanks Angela! It was too fun to resist... Not that I tried particularly hard 😹😹 Have you been watching the Olympics at all? The Italian women's gymnastics team did so well yesterday! 💖
Your kitty is sooooo fluffy!!!! Great summer DLP Merch! I hope to visit someday. I'm glad you did enjoy your trip. You got so many cute items. Really love that Ariel Mug! That is beautiful. I would love that!!! Stunning mug! Love Star! He is a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Sara! Lol he really is fluffy, we're always finding his fluff on the floor 😹 Oh if you do make a booking let me know, happy to help out with any info you need and you never know, we might be able to crossover! 🤗 I love how unusual the mug is with that coral style handle and the colour combo is gorgeous, unusual for Ariel! Aww gotta love those sidekicks ⭐🥰
Wow! Such cool items for Disney Paris! I love the wands! So cool! Loved all the pins too! So cute that you take your little doggie with you, like I take stitch! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Connie! I love the wands too, they're such a pretty and lovely thing to do and I've enjoyed doing them as memories ☺️ Yes I love taking Charles, it's fun - especially if we meet Goofy and Pluto with him, they go bananas for him! 🐶🍌🐕💖
Hi there, thanks for watching! Really pleased you enjoyed it 🤗 Yes at Sequoia if you visit the concierge, reception, the pool reception, the shop and the restaurant the cast members have different designs available. I would expect it to be similar at the other hotels but this is the first time I've discovered them, so there may be nuances at each location 😁 A lovely souvenir to pick up!
Aww my wonderful friend this haul is awesome!!🥰🤗✨️ it's all so beautiful I can't choose !🤗💖💖😻 By the way Charles the corgi is adorable!🤗🥰🐶 the Aristocats cape ( a cape right?) is wonderful!!!🥰❤️ the Ariel little cup is so beautiful awww❤ I adore the Star shoulder plush!💛💛 the Ariel pin❤ and the wand is absolutely gorgeous, so happy you could get that , so special for you ❤ 🌟
Thanks so much my lovely! Lol I love Charles. I found him on our way to DLP the first time a couple of years ago and it was right after the Queen had died. So he joined me on the trip and has been a staple visitor ever since 😂 Yes the Aristocats one is a cape/wrap - a bit warm for it ATM but it will be great in not that long I'm sure! ❄️ I can't decide what to do with the little cup, I may have to start having espresso - it's the perfect size for that 😂☕ I've tried to put it on display but it's not the right size for where I've put it ATM. Thought you might enjoy sparkly Star ⭐✨ he's so cute! Yes I was so pleased with the wand, it has to be Stitch or a blue rose and they only had red roses this time. But I was really happy that he managed to engrave everything I wanted on there and he did a nice job for me. I have both wands on display now 🥰💖🤗
Hi there, thanks for watching! Oh that's awesome, I'm looking forward to being there in December too. Cheyenne's is great, it's only a couple of thousand steps from the parks and along a lovely canal if you want to walk it (if you see a giant white fish hanging out under the bridge I call him Pepper 😂😂). The buffet dinner at Cheyenne is really good, one of our favourites in my family. You can 💯 check out the other hotels (Disneyland Hotel - the pink one - might be a bit less open than the rest just because it's the 5 ⭐ one) and it's worth doing so to see the different Xmas decs, outside and also in the lobby areas. All the hotels have shops in them and you can go and look in them even if you're not staying in that hotel. Hope you have an amazing time, happy to share any more tips if helpful! 🤗 Oh and it was freezing at Christmas last year, around 2-4 degrees centigrade the week before Christmas. So layers are your friend!!!! It got warmer later in the day in the sun but even so, if you're queueing for things it can get cold quickly. I even had thermals under my clothes last year and I was still cold!!! Fortunately it was just cold, not cold and wet 😹
Hi Nicola, thanks for watching! If there was one we didn't see it. My friend stayed there just over a year ago and they didn't have one either. Someone on Google said Golden Forest rooms have them, I think that's probably an upgraded room. Hope this helps and that you have a great trip if you go there! 💖
@@AristoKat23 ahh yeah that’s what I thought, it would be my second time going back to there! Love the hotel! Never knew about the stickers tho! Yeah it did! Thank youuu x
Oh cool! Would you be heading there after the renovation if you do? The cast members seemed to think it was imminent! Aw great, I'm pleased that was helpful about the stiickers - they're lovely to collect! 🤗 x
Oh brilliant! Early happy birthday 🎂🎈💖 If you haven't been over that time of year before, take lots and lots of layers and waterproof shoes. It was lovely but FREEZING when we were there for Halloween last year - it was also very rainy, so having layers to keep warm and dry are a must! I wore emu boots which are waterproof and I was so glad to have them. We had more breaks back at the hotel to recharge in between too. Also, this place had a lovely 'set' of patisserie desserts that were villain themed for Halloween and reasonably priced - highly recommended if they do a similar thing when you're there! www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/dining/disneyland-park/victorias-home-style-restaurant/
I think this hotel was my favourite overall so far. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing, which is odd given the number of people who take young kids with them! 🤷🏼♂️
😹😹 It was really nice - I enjoyed it being set back from the lake as well and we had a cracking view from the room! I think it makes quite a difference to be that bit closer to the park when you're walking back and forth from the hotel rather than using the bus. I hope they keep the bears lol. 🐻🌲🦌
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it Angela, especially after your comment the other day about wanting to see it! 💖 It was fun to put together and really nice to do as a memory. I hope to do more of the other hotels if I have footage of them 🤗
Thanks Meg! Pleased you enjoyed seeing them. I love finding new pins and tracking down old ones too, so much fun 💖 I just realised why I love it, it's like a shiny treasure hunt 😹⭐
Oh that Marie pin is sooooo CUTE! I love that it reads "So cute" on it! That is now on my MUST HAVE list! Loved the other Marie pin too! Great trades! The Pooh pin is adorable, my mom would love that. Loved seeing all the pins today. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Sara! It is adorable isn't it, I was so happy to find it - hope you're able to track one down! (eBay had a few when I looked). Awww my mum does pin trading with us too, that's lovely 🤗 I always enjoy finding an older pin! Pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 💖
Thank you lovely! 🤗 I'm thinking of bringing out my pins more in some future videos, it's been too long since I've seen them! I love pin trading, it suits my shininess obsession along with my penchant for picking things up spontaneously when I see them 😹😹💖
Groot's fun isn't he. One of my favourite moments in the End Game world is in End Game: Groot: "I. am. Groot." Captain America: "I. am. Steve Rogers" Makes me lmao every time 😹💚🤎❤️💙🤍 I also think Rocket is so funny when he says "You've got some acorns on you, kid!" 😹😹 This meet is more of an appearance - he will sign autographs but the cast member has to take your book for you when Groot leaves and bring it back to you. Can't be easy with those tree fingers 🌴😂 He's out about three times a day from what I remember 💖
@@AristoKat23 oh they are so funny! I always laugh so much when I watch it! And I have watched these films sooo many times, always great!! 😹💖💖😻😻 I love Rocket and Groot so much but they are all amazing characters really🥰🥰🤗 Aww yes poor Groot 😹❤️
Drax is also hilarious, when he is eating crisps and says about he's moving so slowly his movements are invisible and when he meets Thor and describes him as something like a pirate crossed with an angel. So funny 😹😹
Hi Katie You got some cute trades. At Disneyland they set up tables like that for ppl to trade pins. They can trade fantasy pins, but not with cast members. They also will tell ppl to go into the pin store and buy a pin they want to trade. Thanks for sharing
Ah, thanks Connie - that's so helpful to know! 💖 Sounds like a Disneyland thing then. I thought they might be doing a Fleetwood Mac and Going Their Own Way 😹😹 I recognised a lot of Madame Catspurr pins that he had, a lovely maker! Thanks for watching 🤗
Yay for a Bambi funko! I used to have a Disney treasures exclusive, but when I purged my collection… he went to a kids charity. You are so cuter than Bambi!
Adorable aren't they! I go through Bambi merch phases every so often, it's always pretty 😻🦌💖🐇 I'd blame staying at Sequoia this time at DLP (it's Bambi themed) but TBH I bought him before we went 😂😂
Awww it's lovely Angela, you can't even really see it when you look round the lake because it's so much more set back than Newport Bay or Art of Marvel, which is nice 🤗💖
