Disney Childhood Memories

Hello My Lovelies,



today on a completely different note than usually I'm gonna talk a bit about my childhood and it's relation to Disney. 
Mainly through cartoons... Classic Cartoons and "Silly Symphonies" oh those lovely short films that were all time present after school time.
On german telly there used to be a show about Disneyland Paris which unfortunately my mother and me can't remember the name of.. so silly since we watched it every single day, but anyway, after this show the famous Disney Classic Cartoons were on, always like 2-4 back to back, which I loved. 
My mother had the great idea to record them on VHS so that I could re-watch them.. over and over and over :) we had so many VHS in the end.. I remember #24 being my favourite. So here is what was on #24... or what I recall being on it :)

"Ferdinand The Bull" (1938)

an adorable story about a bull, forced to be on the spanish Corrida but who preferred by far to just 'stop and smell the flowers'

Donald Duck in "Early To Bed"

Needless to say that Donald Duck was my favourite character and this short cartoon (which seemed sooooo long when I was 5) still cracks me up now, 17 years later. Poor Donald can't find peace.

btw if you can't understand one word.. it's cause the cartoon's in french (damn you youtube)

 "The Little House" (1952)

Cartoon about a little house living in the country which first misstreated by a vandalising family ends up surrounded by big mean skyscrapers and finally gets to find peace with a loving family surrounded by fields, just like in the beginning.

Donald Duck in "How to have an accident at work"

First of all, enjoy the lovely jingle at the beginning, just brilliant :)

Still hilarious and from what I've heard, quite a few companies use this to actually promote safety at work.

"The Cookie Carnival"(1935)

My love of baked goods must have come from this cartoon. A little gingerbread man helps a young cookie lady become really pretty and eventually even take part at the Cookie Carnival.

Now this was just a little digest of my favourites, but I highly recommend all of the classic cartoons and silly symphonies, they are just amazing and they will stay amazing forever, I'm 100% positive that my children will grow up watching those. 

You can see the heart and passion put into those. Just sit back and enjoy.

Love and Hugs

Be the guest you want to be remembered for and other ramblings.

Hello My Lovelies,

another day another bunch of moron guests.
Don't get me wrong, not everyone's bad but more often than not you get guests where the check-in lasts literally 10 minutes (when everything goes well) just because you want to get rid of them ASAP.
Guests who don't smile, who don't say hello, who just hand you their reservation and when you explain things or ask question don't even listen or not or give any sign of life.
Those are the guests I dislike the most.
Not even the ones who complain, they're showing emotions.. but those who do nothing.. oh dear they're the worst.

Today I really surprised a guest but it was an awfully lucky shot :) Minutes before he arrived there was a problem and bla bla bla hotel stuff I saw that there was only one guest who booked through a particular agency for today.
When he then arrived literally 5 minutes later and handed me his papers I greeted him with name and surname before even looking. He was there shocked for 10 minutes, it really was a laugh. He was a nice guy and kept wondering how I did it well... we're not called "Magic" Circus for nothing :) 

I also love excited kids and what I noticed to be REALLY common is.. as soon as I smile at them they dive behind the counter to not be seen haha but later again they show up and it's usually quite funny.
I had a little girl today about 7-8 from Netherlands and since I'm working quite hard to learn some dutch, I asked her for her name and bless her, she understood me and even asked back :) 

Lately I'm spending a lot of time with my colleagues, which I really like, I'm working with some great people. Especially one, she's super nice, at the beginning I didn't like her much but then I hated most people in the beginning. I mostly go out with her, a few days ago we went grocery shopping together to a very cheap place which is located in dumbfuckistan... right in the middle of fields and cows you have France's answer to Germany's ALDI: LeaderPrice. 
We went shopping in the afternoon and yesterday we went for Crêpes and then to a colleagues house... the last bit was a bit awkward because of reasons but anyway it was cool.
A few evenings ago we all went out to the "club" which is in the Disney Village, also known as Billy Bob's, it was a lot of fun there.. never thought i'd enjoy myself in a disco, being the person I am, but then.. it's the company who matters :) and it was really a great night !!
Also.. I'm finding myself wanting to buy clothes almost just to go out... usually when I went shopping with friends and they bought clothes to go dancing I couldn't care less. For me going out was, day clothes paired with darker make up and eating a pizza with friends... now it's a whole different stories.

I have many things planned lately so that I need to find time to be alone sometimes.. which is great. I love being busy, remember how sad hanging around alone everyday ? Well those days are over ;)

Anyway that's it for now, I will leave you with a rubbish song that we've been singing and dancing to for weeks now.. super catchy xD

Take Care

Love

Sickness post + World of Disney Store.

Hello My Lovelies,


I had planned for my next blog post to be about the return of Fantillusion with pictures but sadly I didn't get to see it yet.
I saw it many times in the past years and after the Main Street Electrical Parade, Fantillusion is my favourite parade among them all. Mainly because it reminds me of my trips to DLP with my mam, when everything was fine and DLP still had that little bit more of magic to me than it has now.
I worked all week from 15/16 till 23/24 so I always missed it, but working the morning shift all week next week I will definitely head to the park.


Today's post comes from a rather sick Julie. The weather here has been utterly rubbish (guests blaming front office as usual for that ^_~) so temperature changes and wet feet as usual got me a lovely cold, with cough and loss of voice. It wasn't too bad on me at work, mainly thanks to Vicks Day Med and a german cough med but now I just need my 2 days off to rest and do nothing.
I'm writing in my bed, wrapped up in a fleece blanket and my duvet, socks and a hot water bottle under my feet, cuppa tea with honey next to me... got the image ? Oh yea add a granny bun and you can bet your salary that if I had some yarn and a few needles I'd be knitting.


Luckily (and sadly) I'm living alone now.. my room mate left yesterday. I really liked her so I hope I get someone as nice as her, maybe a bit younger so that whenever I say something age related I don't have to pull out a foot out of my mouth ! 
Luckily because I slept horribly last night so I've been awake since 5-ish and with a room mate I would have had to stay in bed and be quiet and what not.


Anyway to keep this blog post somewhat Disney related. 
The day after my last post I finally visited the World of Disney store :) and also bought something. Sadly nothing that I had in mind was in the shop but I'm pretty happy with my buy anyway.
The store is absolutely AMAZING ! It's huge, it's colourful but elegant and goodness me the paintings on top are just gorgeous. I made a short video of them while I was in there, it was pretty full otherwise I would have taken a few more photos and/or videos.

Anyway darlings my tea is waiting. Enjoy your day and if you're in Paris, today is the official opening of the World of Disney store, no clue what's going to be different to the other days but please visit and tell me what happened :)

Magical Greetings.

Love
