4th of July is just around the corner and what I love about the 4th of July is what I also love about going to Disney…the FIREWORKS! I’m not sure if many fireworks shows will be happening this year with the COVID pandemic and unfortunately we can’t see them at the Disney Parks but I’ll still be adding some magic to America’s Birthday with a little dash of Disney!
Let’s breakdown what I’m wearing since a lot of these Disney finds were ones I had to go on the hunt for. This red mini sequin Loungefly backpack I scored on clearance from ShopDisney (it’s not sold out there but the full size one is still available), you can find the mini one on eBay.
My Disney sneakers are actually from Primark in the UK so typically if I am looking for out of the country Disney finds I score them on eBay since you can find sellers all over the world and some unique finds.
My Disney USA Tee is a Target find (still available online + in stores) and my skirt is from Amazon where I buy all my skater skirts! They are so easy to style for various occasions and I always love wearing them to the parks with fun tees.
I also got these Mickey + Minnie Americana plushes from ShopDisney a few months ago that just added to the 4th of July festivities!
Whether you are bored in the house, still stuck in quarantine or just looking for some fun ways to enjoy Disney at home while the parks are closed, one thing is for certain, having a little Disney makes things feel a whole lot better. I’ve been so bummed the last few months wanting for life to go back to normal and what has been keeping my spirits up is DISNEY! (shocker I know hehe :p)
That’s why I’m rounding up my favorite Disney books, games, puzzles, shows + more so you can all keep occupied while staying home safely!
While we are all stuck in quarantine my boo + I have been using this time to cook up some Disney magic with yummy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks + desserts using…you guessed it, DISNEY kitchen appliances and cook wear! From Mickey shaped waffles to Minnie ice pops to slow cooked dinners + more, ShopDisney has TONS of magical cooking essentials you’ll want to add to your kitchen to keep occupied during quarantine. Sharing some of my favorites below including my Toy Story Alien Popcorn Maker (since popcorn is my favorite snack after all)! 🙂
It’s been a crazy month since I got back from the #DisneyCreators trip! I have begun planning my dream Disney Wedding, Disney has shut down due to Coronavirus + I have been going a little stir crazy at home practicing my best social distancing, so I figured now was as good a time as any to finally recap the entire #DisneyCreators trip!
First let’s start off with a brief overview of what this #DisneyCreators Trip was since I got a lot of questions about it on social media!
The #DisneyCreators Trip was a 8 day trip – 4 days at Walt Disney World + 4 days on the Disney Dream from Disney Cruiseline exclusively for influencers within the Disney creator network. The influencers on the trip were invited by the Disney team and what I thought was so cool is that they invited all different types of influencers who LOVE + post Disney! From mommy bloggers to travel Youtubers to Disney Style fashion influencers like me, it was awesome to meet all different types of creators + make new friends all with a common obsession – DISNEY!
Now that you are familiar with what the trip was let me break down some of my favorite moments of the trip!
First up – Recapping some of the best parts of the Disney World part of the trip based on day (figured that’s the easiest way to review!)♥
DAY ONE
We checked in to the brand NEW Riviera Resort that was only 2 months old + beyond amazing! The resort has multiple pools, great dining + a beautiful view. I loved the French Riviera theme and one of my favorite parts of the resort is that they have their own line of merch from exclusive Minnie Ears to Hats to Luggage to Pandora Charms to Plushes, Pins + More! I stocked up on all their plushes which actually match the characters at the character dining experience they have for breakfast + dinner at Topolino’s Terrace! The food is beyond delicious + I love the character’s outfits of course.
After checking in + having breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace we relaxed for a little bit and then I headed to Epcot to kick of the #DisneyCreators Trip with a welcome dinner hosted by Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein who also plays Ahsoka in multiple Star Wars animated features. The food was delicious, we got to network with other influencers and then explore Epcot a bit before meeting up again for a dessert party later that night! We got to enjoy yummy treats while watching the Epcot Forever Fireworks show!
DAY TWO
We started the day by heading to the Contemporary Convention Center for a day filled with informative panels, fun giveaways, sponsorship showcase + more to educate all of us Disney influencers more about upcoming Disney developments, new launches + more!
We got to meet the actor behind the voice of Mickey Mouse, learn more about how TikTok is taking over social media + tons more, it was super helpful, informative and fun.
That night we then headed to Magic Kingdom for some ride time, sweet treats + my favorite fireworks show of all, the Happily Ever After show!
DAY 3
OK, so Day 3 was one of my favorite days at the parks! We kicked things off with an early morning trip to Pandora – The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom. We got exclusive ride time before the park opened to ride Avatar Flight of Passage which was AMAZING (well worth the wait honestly, I know understand the hype) + Na’vi River Journey which was super fun. We rode the rides, snapped pics + enjoyed a yummy breakfast there in the park!
Later that day we headed to Hollywood Studios (one of my favorite parks at Disney World) + had a private party in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge! We got to ride the new attraction Rise Of The Resistance which was beyond FUN + hands down the best ride I’ve ever been on and worth the boarding group process to get to ride it.
DAYS 4 + 5
Day 4 was a busy day! We checked out of the Riviera Resort + headed to the Disney Dream part of the Disney Cruise Line. We embarked on a 4 day 3 night cruise to Nassua Bahamas + Castaway Cay! It was my first time ever on a cruise so it was a whole new world for me. Unlimited EVERYTHING – I was in heaven from yummy food to dessert to all the pools + more…I couldn’t get enough of everything. I headed to the Senses Spa on board for a few treatments + relaxed in the Rainforest room that has sauna, jacuzzi + more. There’s tons of entertainment on the ship from adult only clubs to theater to movies…there’s a little something for everyone even kids with the kids club!
After boarding the ship we checked in to our stateroom + began to explore. The first night we had dinner at Animator’s Palate which was my favorite dining on the ship. They had tasty dishes + the interactive characters on screens around the dining area was super fun as well.
The next day we docked in Nassau, Bahamas where you were free to explore the island or go off on excursions to see what the island has to offer. I decided to stay on the ship to explore all the activities, dining, shopping + areas. Fun fact there’s no tax when shopping on the ship! PLUS there are tons of Disney Cruise Line exclusive merch only available on the ship like Minnie Ears, Pandora Charms, Luggage, Purses, Plushes + more…I definitely stocked up.
DAY 6
Day 6 was my favorite day on the cruise because we docked at Castaway Cay, Disney’s own private island! You had the whole day to explore the island which had bars, tons of BBQ, shopping + a family beach and Serenity Bay which was an adult only beach if you wanted a little quiet time.
I loved being able to meet characters too that were in fun island themed outfits + snap some great pics around the island. You can rent kayaks, beach bikes + more if you are on the sporty side! There were also a lot of activities to do as well + the cutest island exclusive merch!
The next day we headed back to shore + then flew home. It was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had – I bought so much merch, ate so much yummy food + took way too many pictures hehe :p
Do you have questions for me on anything Disney World or Disney Cruise Line related?! Ask Away ♥
I’m off to Disney Worldtomorrow for 10 days!! I am beyond pumped to head to Disney’s NEW Riviera Resort where I’ll be staying for a few days before heading on my first ever Disney Cruise later in the week (first cruise ever in general in fact)! I feel beyond blessed to be invited to this year’s Disney Creators Celebration where I will be surrounded by some of my fav Disney influencers at the parks enjoying exclusive happenings, treats, seminars + experiences that I will be sure to share with ya’ll in real time and when I get back!
To prep for a magical trip ahead I have been stocking up on Disney luggage, accessories + more so I wanted to share with you what I bought + am bringing on this Disney trip!
