(An advance warning that this contains spoilers. LOTS AND LOTS OF SPOILERS.) I knew that Vanellope von Schweetz would go far when she announced that she wanted to be President of Sugar Rush. It really DID have a nice ring to it, and after years as the outcast glitch I was rooting for her to … Continue reading RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: A LESSON FOR THE LOT OF US

DISNEYLAND, I LOVE YOU
I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE: until about a year ago, I didn't really have any interest in visiting a Disney Park that wasn't Paris. Alright? I admit it. This wasn't because I didn't like the sound of 'em - more because I felt INCREDIBLY protective and defensive of Disneyland Paris (my French baby!), and … Continue reading DISNEYLAND, I LOVE YOU
#DisneyBookWeek: Making reading magical
If I think back to being small, I remember liking two things above all else: Disney and reading. I liked other stuff too, of course: beanbags, Angel Delight and Jim Davidson's Generation Game, to name a few. But Disney and reading always came out top. This is me, havin' a good old read in bed … Continue reading #DisneyBookWeek: Making reading magical

5 things Disney fans wish you knew
To me, Disney is a bit like Marmite. I tend to meet people who like it a lot and excitedly ask me who my favourite princess is, or people who aren't really Disney-ish at all and grimace a little when I mention Beauty and the Beast. But there are also those people who eat Marmite … Continue reading 5 things Disney fans wish you knew
25 year-olds can love Disneyland too, okay?
"Where are you off to this summer?" they ask, and I can feel the red start to creep into my cheeks. "Guess?!" I say, as my passive aggressive way of shouting "DISNEYLAND, alright?! DISNEYLAND, every year it's Disneyland and I know you know that and I know you think it's weird but I DON'T CARE … Continue reading 25 year-olds can love Disneyland too, okay?
What I love about Disney – Q&A
Taken from Earth to Ree on this gloomy October Monday... 1. A scene in any Disney movie you wish you could experience? I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Pizza Planet. Every time I watch Toy Story I just can't wait to get to that part of the film - even the bit where Buzz and … Continue reading What I love about Disney – Q&A
