The Magical Orlando Tag!


I saw this tag over on Ellie’s blog (elliesramblings) and I was all over it. If there is anything blogwise that is Disney, Florida, Universal, SeaWorld etc. then I am sold so when I saw the magical Orlando tag I wanted to do it right away. Orlando is my favourite place in the whole wide world and am currently waiting what seems like forever for my trip back there in June! Fingers crossed time hurries its little butt up…

Which Hogwarts house would you be sorted into?
I’d like to think it would be Gryffindor house, probably what most people would say haha. I guess Gryffindor is the obvious choice, but Harry, Ron and Hermione just get into the most trouble, but the most fun at the same time.



Name a Disney character you’d like to have dinner with.
One?! Just one?! Surely it’s impossible to choose just one… I’d like to have dinner with Ariel because hs eis my favourite princess, Belle because she is my second favourite and I just love her and also Mickey and Minnie as that’s where Disney all started!



Which Marvel superhero power would you choose?
I’m not really a Marvel film kind of person to be really honest. I’ve only ever seen the Spiderman movies and as much as I did enjoy them, I haven’t really had the interest to watch any of the others. So I’m going to have to say Spiderman’s powers – I suppose flying around on strings of web would be fun, right?



 If you could bring back one dinosaur breed from Jurassic Park, which would it be?
Again, I’m not really a fan of Jurassic Park either and I definitely wouldn’t want to bring back any dinosaurs haha. If google has done me rightly then I’d say the Compsognathus – the smallest dinosaur which is apparently the size of a chicken and only hunts small lizards and insects… ew.



You can ride a dragon at the Triwizard Tournament and visit the owlery at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but where else would you go on a school trip to Hogsmeade?
Definitely Honeydukes and The Three Broomsticks. I have a sweet tooth so would love to go into Honeydukes although I’d avoid the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans! And I’d have to go into The Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. I have had the butterbeer at the studio tour in London and I wasn’t that keen on it, but I hear in Florida it tastes much better – I want to try the frozen one!



A scene in any Disney, Harry Potter or Marvel movie you wish you could experience.
Disney movie: either the part of your world scene in The Little Mermaid so I could go into Ariel’s little cave and see her collection or the tale as old as time scene in Beauty and the Beast because let’s face it – it’s pretty perfect. Harry Potter: I’d love to give Quidditch a go!



Name one item from any Disney, Harry Potter or Marvel movie you would want for Christmas.
Disney movie: Ariel’s clam shell bra would be awesome, it’s so cute! Harry Potter: I’d love Hermione’s time turner. Being in two places at once would be amazing.



Name one unforgettable experience/moment you’ve had at the Orlando parks.
100% without a doubt has to be when you first step foot into Magic Kingdom and make your way down Main Street and see the castle in the distance. It is a very overwhelming moment for a Disney lover and one that you won’t forget. It is obviously so special the first ever time you do, but every single time after when you revisit, even years after your first visit, the magic is still there and it’s definitely a very surreal moment!



I hope you enjoyed this tag about Orlando and Disney and Universal. I love doing tags like this and loved this one with a mixture of the parks in it! Counting down the days to my return to magical Orlando… 152 days!!!

Disney Parks Tag!

Okay, so I think it's pretty clear by this point that I love all things Disney, so when I saw the Disney Parks Tag, I was all over it. So, here we go...

The park I have chosen to answer the tag on is, of course, Magic Kingdom:



1. How many times have you been to this park?
I'm not too sure how many times I have visited the park exactly. I know I have been to Orlando, Florida 5 times and they have been for two or three weeks at a time, so I'm not sure how many times exactly I visited Magic Kingdom in this time. 



2. What's your favourite land and why?
My favourite land in Magic Kingdom has to be Fantasyland (just over Frontierland slightly!). Fantasyland is just so whimsical and is home to Cinderella's Castle and lots of rides including Winnie the Pooh ride and, one I'm so excited to ride is the Journey of the Little Mermaid which has opened not so long ago. It is also home to the Be Our Guest restaurant and the whole land is just breathtaking. 



3. What's your favourite ride and why?
My favourite ride is in Frontierland and just has to be Splash Mountain. Frontierland is just amazing and brilliantly themed. Splash Mountain is my favourite ride because it is just so cute and it's a log flume as well so is a great way to cool down in the Orlando heat. 



4. What's your favourite show?
It just has to be Wishes. It is an amazing firework display over the Castle in Magic Kingdom and it is so beautiful. I know a lot of people can get quite emotional at this show and it really is amazing to just stand and watch.



5. What is your favourite thing to eat in the park?
Now I am quite a fussy eater, and my favourite thing to eat is probably going to be so boring, but I love just eating the chicken tenders and fries that you can get all around the park as it is just so American (and you can't beat a Mickey's premium ice cream sandwich for pudding!).



6. What do you want to do at the park that you have never done before?
I am so excited because this is actually happening in June 2015, but I am going to Orlando, Florida for 2 weeks with my best friend and we're just going to do everything at Disney because she has never been before so that is what I want to do. I have never been with a friend before so I'm looking forward to it!



7. If you were a cast member, who would you want to be?
It would just have to be Belle! Belle is one of my favourite princesses, alongside Ariel, but I just love her dress and her hair and she is just amazing.



8. What is your favourite story from the park?
It's not so much a story, but it is something we do every time we go to Magic Kingdom and that is taking the ferryboat over Seven Seas Lagoon over to the Magic Kingdom park entrance. It's just a slow little ferry ride over the lagoon and the castle is in view and it just gets the excitement building and is just an amazing moment leading up to the park.



So that was my Disney Parks Tag! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. I am even more excited now.
