  • Visiting The Walt Disney Studio Lot D23 Tour

    The Walt Disney Studio Lot is located in Burbank California. This place is beaming with drawings and archives from 100 years ago. With D23 tours, I was lucky enough to visit this magical place and step inside Walt’s personal office. There was a certain atmosphere in the buildings here, a magical one at that. Where Walt himself once walked on these grounds, doing his business meetings and making entertainment for the world. We started off by checking in and receiving our D23 ID badges and we were then introduced to our amazing tour guide Drew. The tour started around lunch and finished mid afternoon. It was a good few hours…

  • Disneyland Halloween Oogie Boogie Bash

    Disneyland Resort during the Halloween season

    It has become a tradition for Disney Parks to celebrate the Halloween season. With Main Street adorning autumnal decor, including Disney California Adventure Park taking part in the action, it is a great time to visit. Especially with its hard ticket event. Over in Florida, we have the infamous Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Grand Californian Resort Display Each year, Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel will have a spectacular display made out of cake, icing and special spooky treats.…

Hearing how incredible the offerings are normally, the Disney Magic did not disappoint. From Champagne tasting and dining in Palo, there were lots of activities to…

  • Alton Towers Scarefest

    First Time Visit to Alton Tower’s Resort for Scarefest

    Back in the Summer, I decided to invest in a Merlin Annual Pass to visit more of the UK theme parks. It has been one of the best purchases I’ve made. Having recently been back to Chessington, Thorpe Park, and Legoland, last weekend was my first visit to Alton Towers Resort. I was very impressed with their offerings. Since buying the pass this year, I’ve gotten over my fear of Rollercoasters. I started on Vampire at Chessington, which then made me eager to visit Alton Towers and get on some of the bigger rides. I have always wanted to experience Scarefest during the Halloween season and have heard that the Mazes…
