Flight Essentials

We recently went away and thought it would be good to share some of our flight essentials that help us on the plane. 

Firstly, an obvious essential for a flight is your passport and boarding pass. However, it is a good idea to keep all the files that you need for your holiday such as these as well as travel insurance in one place and therefore we used a travel folder and it was much easier to keep everything together and organise what we needed. This allowed us to organise our files and out them into the order that we needed them. This meant that, for one of us, it was less stressful and helpful as we weren't trying to find the things that we needed. 

The next flight essential is having something to keep you occupied on the plane. This could be a book, music, crosswords or a film or game on an iPad or laptop. This meant that you have something to do for the duration of the flight and therefore if you are a nervous flier you aren't thinking about flying as much which was important for one of us. 

Another essential is to some sort of sweet to chew on for take off as it helps to stop your ears from popping. Therefore, we bought a pack of sweets in the airport to make sure that we had something to stop our ears popping when taking off. This is really important as we forgot to do this one flight and our ears were still popping when we got to our hotel. 

You can also take fluffy socks to keep your feet warm and to keep comfortable, especially on long flights. This just helps you to be comfortable as well as keep warm. It is also important to make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothes for the flight as you don't want to feel uncomfortable for a long duration of time.

Another essential is toiletries such as tissues and hand sanitiser that are sometimes needed. Especially, if you have a baby it is good to have baby wipes and anything else that you need.We needed tissues as we had a problem with a nose bleed and therefore the tissues came in handy. 

You may also need a portable charger especially if you are going on a long flight and you are using your phone as an entertainment source. It is also good ion you are going on a long flight or your flight is in the night to have a pillow or a blanket or just something to help you sleep or just to be comfortable on the plane. 

Thanks for reading and we hope that this was helpful. 

Don't forget to comment we would love to hear what your flight essentials are as well as any other ideas you have. Follow our social medias linked at the bottom and our blog to keep track of our posts.

Disney Essentials

For this weeks blog post we are going to share with you our DisneyLand essentials that everyone needs to know.

 The first thing that you are going to need to do is to download the DisneyLand Paris app, which has all the waiting times of the rides and attractions and also has a map of the park. It shows you where all the facilities of the park are and how to get to them, it shows where you are if you turn your location on, which helps if you are trying to find the way to a certain ride or attraction. You can also look at the restaurants that are there and book a reservation and you can operate your photo pass through the app aswell. 

The second thing which is REALLY IMPORTANT is a bag pack, when we went a week ago we decided to have two bag packs, one small mini bag pack which was included in one of our older blogposts and a bigger bag pack that had three compartments that could hold more things. This was really handy as we were there when it was colder so we could keep all our hats and scarfs in the bag ready to get out if needed. It was also really handy as we could fit our cameras and water bottles in them. It was also more convenient as we shared out the heavy things and made it easier to carry around the parks.

The third thing which was important for us was to make sure we had a portable charger and extra batteries and memory card as this will be necessary if you are using your camera a lot. If you are going to use your phone a lot to take photos or videos or you use the app you are going to need a portable charger as your battery will run low.

We found out when we were there that you can take food into the park so you are going to need to take snacks in with you for throughout the day especially if you get hungry fast as the prices aren't always the cheapest. We took food from our breakfast buffet in the hotel and took it with us into the parks as snacks that way if we were hungry in any of the lines waiting for a ride we were able to have a snack to keep us going before going for food. This is especially important as the lines are normally long and therefore you don't want to leave the line to go and get food only to go back later and the line be longer than before. 

If you are going in the month we did , which is October, or you know what the weather is like during the time that you go make sure to pack appropriately. We made sure to take raincoats and also made sure that we had comfortable and warm clothes for the parks as well as a change of clothes in the hotel to go back to the park wearing instead of staying in our wet clothes for a long time. 

Finally, if you are going to Disney and you have anything Disney related take it. It doesn't matter how old you are just wear it no one really cares and its the best place to wear any Disney merchandise you have. Especially if you go and meet the characters as they do pick up on it and it helps them to interact with you. It is also a lot of fun and you feel like a child again. 

 

This is all we have for our Disney essentials but if you have any others please leave a comment letting us know what they are so we can try them out next time we go. Thank you for reading and don't forget to follow us on here and to follow our social medias which are below to find out when we post our next post.

Addams Family Show and Book Signing

Hello,

So awhile ago we went to see the Addams Family in the Millennium centre when the show came to Cardiff and we were all very excited to go and watch it.

We all thought that the actors were amazing and stayed true to the iconic Addams Family. We were also very excited to hear some of the songs live and were very impressed with the performance in general. We were also very happy to hear that one of our favourites in the show Carrie Hope Fletcher was doing a book signing in Waterstones in Cardiff on the Monday.

We then got last minute tickets to go to her book signing on the Monday as we are such big fans of her and think she is amazing. When we got to meet Carrie and have her sign the book that they gave us as part of the signing we found that she was exactly like we thought she would be. She was absolutely lovely to everyone that was there and did her best to make sure no one was waiting for too long as well as meeting everyone that was there and spend time with them. When we told her that we came to see the show and said how good it was, she thanked us and said how much she appreciates the support and was glad that we enjoyed the Show and truly it was one of the best stage productions that I have ever seen in the Millennium Centre so if you get the chance to see it go as you will not regret it.

Thats all for for this blog post, we have got more posts to post this week and we also have our Disneyland Paris trip to edit and post which we are very excited to share with you all. This was only a  small post just to share with you our experience even though it was ages ago.
