Since 2013 I have sailed on five Disney cruises (and have another booked) and all four Disney Cruise Line ships. Even though I am far from a Disney Cruise Line expert as there is still so much I have yet to do or experience, I have picked up a lot of helpful tips, tricks and advice that might help you if you are planning to sail with Disney Cruise Line for the first time. Some of what is in this blog is the opposite to what others might say but I think it’s important to post a different opinion so you can make your own decisions. (more…)

Hong Kong is one of my most visited cities in the world so it would make sense that Hong Kong Disneyland is my most visited Disney park in the world. It really is my happy place and I try to visit every time I’m in Hong Kong (which is usually once a month) even if it’s just for a few hours each time.

I recently wrote a planning guide for visiting Shanghai Disneyland so it is only right that I do the same for the amazing Hong Kong Disneyland that I have visited more times than I can honestly remember. I really hope that it will help anyone who is planning a trip to Hong Kong. (more…)

The only way you can visit Castaway Cay is to take a Disney Cruise and even if not a beach person like myself, you will find it a little piece of paradise. The palm trees, blue skies (most of the time), crystal clear water and beautiful white sand beaches make it a perfect place to relax. I have written this guide to Castaway Cay to tell you everything you need to know before your visit. (more…)

As you have probably already guessed if you’ve read my blog, I love visiting all the Disney parks around the world and Shanghai Disneyland which opened in June 2016 is no exception. Since my first visit during opening week, I have visited several more times since and finally returned to Shanghai Disneyland once again this week in October 2023 after many years of not being able to visit China – we all know what happened there! So many people have asked me various questions about the park over the years so I decided to list all the tips, tricks, help, advice and handy need-to-know (as well as up to date and current) information that I can think of in one place. I really hope that this blog will help anyone who is planning a trip to Shanghai. (more…)
