Belated post: summertime magic. Part 1

Hey guys!
I know it's been a while since my last post here, but there are a lot of things going on in my life right now, so I simply didn't have enough time to do this. Anyways, here I am, writing about my summer trip and I really hope you will like this.
So the only trip that i went on this year was my trip to Disneyland Paris. Again. Yes, I know I have a tiny obsession with this place, don't judge me :)
We've been there only for 4 day, and it obviously was not enough time for me to fully enjoy the whole amazingness of this place. We actually was planning on a 5-day trip, one of the days we were going to spend in Paris, but my mom didn't get her passport back at the right time, so our visit to France was a bit shorter.
But despite all the difficulties we did manage to get to the Disneyland and fully enjoy our time there.

We stayed at Disney Hotel New York, which is situated in the walking distance from both parks. It took us about 5 minutes to get to them every day. The other amazing thing about all of their hotels is that when you are staying at the Disney Hotel you instantly get the extra hours ticket, that gives you the permission to come to the Disneyland park earlier than other guests, the park is opened for you from 8am to 10pm exclusively. The New York Hotel is not the best in the resort, but it holds the second place among the other hotels. Its quite big, it looks really expensive (and to tell the truth it wasn't cheap at all to stay there, but since it was our only trip this summer we decided to please ourselves). The greatest thing for me about the hotel was its smell. OMG. I can't even describe that smell, but it was so good, that after a long  day in the park I didn't want to go to the room on the first place, I just wanted to sit in the lobby and enjoy the scent from their air freshener LOL.

Our room was on the ground floor, it was facing the pool outside and it also had the second door that was leading to the tiny hotel's garden (and yeah, I'm aware that is not an ACTUAL garden, but I felt that this description would be more special). We loved that it was like our personal privilege to go there every morning and evening, watching the sunsets and, sometimes, sunrises :)

We came to Disneyland at about 3pm on Wednesday. The first thing we did after the check-in was watching the 'Stars'n'Cars' parade at the Walt Disney Studios Park. It was an awesome event, we've seen a lot of characters and just simply enjoyed those 20 minutes as much as possible.

After the parade we decided to watch "Motors, action, stunt show spectacular featuring Lightening McQueen. It was a loud attraction, the stuntmen showed us tricks and effects from different Hollywood movies. It lasted about 40 minutes and we fully enjoyed them all. I didn't take a lot of photos there, because we had our camera with us, but I will share one with you.

Our first diner we had in the Disney Village at "Annette's Diner". We tried out the burgers and fries, but the food was not the only thing that made this restaurant amazing. Music from the 50's and the dance show from the staff were the amazing thing to add to our evening. If you are going to Disneyland in Paris, you should definitely check this place out!

We finished the first day in the place where all dreams come true with a little walk in the park, watching the lights and listening to music.

Hope you guys liked this post! More photos and stories coming soon!

Magical City

Aloha!
Yesterday.. Oh, not yesterday. On the 25th of May my city celebrated its 1003rd Birthday! And I would like to share with you some historical facts about it and, of course, some photos I've taken during that evening.
So, the history of my city (which is by the way called Yaroslavl) started in the 1010, when the prince Yaroslav the Wise visited one unknown corner of his kingdom. There is a legend that says that when Yaroslav came here he wanted to build a new city on this place. But the people who lived here were wild and didn't want to give up their land. They sent the huge bear to kill the prince. But Yaroslav was very brave, so he fought the beast and killed it. People had nothing else to do but to call Yaroslav the ruler of their land. The city was built here and it was given the name of its founder - Yaroslavl.
Nowadays my city holds the 6th place among the best cities in Russia. It is a famous part of the Golden Ring, which is one of the tourists' most favorite destinations. A lot of people come to visit Yaroslavl every year.
Two days ago my city celebrated its 1003rd birthday. It was a huge deal for everyone who lives here. There were a lot different entertainments on the streets, everyone was happy. At the end of the day we watched the fireworks. And I have to say that it was one of the most magical days that I had here, even the rain didn't spoil anything!

Magical Summer 2012

Hello everyone!
I know I'm such an awful blogger, I'm really sorry! But anyways, I hope someone is still reading this lol. So I thought I would share some latest news with you guys.

Actually, I have only one but it really is huuuuggggeeee! This summer my mom and I are going to Disneyland Paris! Yay! I'm so so so so excited! I have to say that this trip won't be my first trip there. I've aleady been there before about 3 times, I believe. DLP is such a magical place! You can meet your favorite characters and just feel yourself like a little kid again. So, enough talking I want to share some pictures from my latest trip to DLP in 2012. It was awesome! We were able to see their magic shows for the 20th anniversary. Anyway, enjoy the photos!
Day 1. We visited both parks and did some really cool things there. We went on the Crush's Coaster ride for the very first time and it was so much fun! My mom also got the candy apple; she said it was very tasty :) We also watched Disney Dreams and met some characters:)
Day 2. I met Winnie-the-Pooh, who is my fave character! YAY! We also went on some rides, such as the boat, Mad Hatter's tea cups and others.
Day 3. The last day there:( We even got up earlier to experience 2 magic hours before official opening time. It was something unbelievable! There was almost no one in the park so we really enjoyed our last hours there.

It's a small world ride

Holidays :)

Hello loves!
This post will be about my weekend:) one of my friends had a birthday party, she turned 19 yay:) we went to the place where you can ski and skate and do other sporty winter things:) we also ate some hot sausages, even though it was very tasty I'm not proud of myself;(
After the fun part in the park we went to the flat and the party went on. My friend is really inventive so she planned a lot of interesting and fun stuff to do. We played jenga, twister and other great games and everyone had a great time. Also I have to say that this was a moustache party, everyone had to wear faux ones:)
Anyway, enjoy the photos!;)

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!💙
First of all: HAPPY NEW 2013 YEAR! Hope everyone had a great celebration! I know I did:)
And actually this is what I was going to talk to you about:) I met the new year with my family, because in Russia it's a tradition to celebrate it with your relatives. But then we met with my friends and spent some great time together! We watched the fireworks on one of the main squares in my city, then went for a walk. There were a lot of unknown people who were friendly and kind and everybody was shouting "happy new year!"
Honestly, it's great to spend this holiday in Russia. Only in this country you can feel this unique atmosphere of the celebration, find a hundred new friends and just have a great time!
I want to know about your celebration! Happy new year! Have fun!💚🎅🎄

Magic happens every day!

Hello my lovelies!
The most amazing thing that happened to me this week is that I passed all my exams! Yay! The hardest one was logics, but I did pass it anyway:)
Although its 3 days till New Year I got some presents:) I love surprises:) The thing I like the most is this amazing glass ball with a little Christmas tree inside :)
So I think this is pretty much everything that happened to me. Not that much lol but those exams took almost all of my time;(

Happy holidays!
xoxo

Happy Christmas!

Hohoho! It's been a real while since I've written here:) The reason why I decided to post here is that it's Christmas today! Yay! Christmas and new year are my most favorite holidays and I would like to share with you why :)

1. First of all - I LOOVE SNOW. It's an amazing feeling when are going somewhere and feel tiny snowflakes on your face:) and everything is sooo beautiful covered with snow!:) here in Russia snow covers literally everything: trees, houses, roads and this is an amazing view!

2. The second thing I love about Christmas is Christmas tree! But not only the tree itself. I love to decorate it with my grams, sharing positive emotions and love:)

3. The other thing is Christmas movies! It's the season of Home Alone, Grinch, Arthur Christmas, Love Actually and other amazing festive movies:)

4. The last thing is spending time with friends in the special more fun and memorable way! Snowboarding, skiing, skating and other different things to do only in winter are so great! Can't imagine a winter holiday without doing this great things!!

So guys, I hope you liked this post! And I am really sorry for being such a naughty blogger writing nothing for so long... Hope you will have the great time this winter!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
