My top 5 rides at Walt Disney Studios

Let's start by addressing the fact, I've not written an entry for 20 days. I'm sorry folks but the term has started and with it all the not so wonderful paperwork. Normal service has now resumed (hopefully). So my top 5 Walt Disney Studios rides. If you think about it, it makes sense, especially given how I have already listed my top 5 rides for Disneyland Park . So without further ado, let us begin... 5. Art of Animation Picture source: Disneyland Paris Now I know what you're all thinking "but Kelly, does this count as a ride?", to which I answer the following "you have to queue for it and you're not getting food at the end, therefore I'm counting it as a ride".  Considered an OG Walt Disney Studios ride,  present in the days of Disney Channel tour where you used to stop by Cyberspace Mountain on the way out (well, everyone did. I was too scared). I'll be honest dear readers, I didn't know if it still holds up, ...

Beginner's Guide to Disneyland Park

A lot of people would think that this guide is a long time coming. I mean think about it Disneyland Park is the original. The MVP. It's gone through multiple name changes and is actually older than me. However, that doesn't mean the Disneyland Park (Parc Disneyland if you're French) is void of secrets and magic waiting to be discovered. This is where this guide comes in, so put your glass slipper on those magic cobbles and get ready for a magical day out. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris 1. Some quick tips before we start.  There are quite a few things you must know about Disneyland Park before you go. So here's the most important ones in a nutshell.

A Beginner's Guide to Walt Disney Studios

It's time for the Beginner's Guide to Walt Disney Studios. This park can be described as "small but perfectly formed" and is designed to be a smaller version of Florida's Hollywood Studios. That being said, it does pip it's American brother in a few ways. For starters, at the time of writing, there are far more rides open at Walt Disney Studios whilst Hollywood Studios undergoes it's refurbishment. In addition, it is far easier to park hop between Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Park than it is to park hop between Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.  So with that, sit back, relax and let me walk through this park with you.  1. Let's bust those myths. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris Every Disney park has some form of myth that one travel professional decided when they were bored and everybody else took as gospel. Walt Disney Studios' myth is that it is, at best, only a half day venture.  This myth harkens back to the early 2000s wh...

My top 5 favourite rides at Disneyland Park

Disneyland Park is a theme park. Granted it's a magical theme park but it a theme park nevertheless. So I thought it would make sense to talk about my top 5 favourite rides at Disneyland Park. As somebody who's been on every single ride apart from two, I believe I'm a pretty good judge by now. So without further ado... 5. Casey Jr. - Le Petit Train du Cirque Literally translating as the little circus train, Casey Jr is a very fun ride that is surprisingly nippy for a children's roller-coaster. It's in Fantasyland next to Le Pays des Contes de Fees (or as I like to call them, the magical boats that are never open) and both rides are known for their extremely short wait times. The train that you ride in is bright, colourful and downright adorable and the fairy-tale scenes that you whizz past are beautiful. In addition, you're riding along to the catch Casey Jr. song, I challenge you to not have it stuck in your head after this ride. Image descripti...
