Cinco De Mayo!

As it is Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would take the time to talk about my favourite pavilion in Epcot: Mexico!

The Mexican Pavilion at Epcot is the only pavilion that has an inside section that looks like the outside. It is truly breath-taking to see it for the first time. You feel like you have stepped right onto the streets of Mexico...at night! As you step into the Mesoamerican pyramid, you are first met by a traditional Mexican marketplace with stalls selling everything from piƱatas to sombreros. The San Angel Inn restaurant is all aglow by candlelight, as the boat ride passes by a volcano. 


The best part, in my eyes, is the Gran Fiesta Tour ride. it features the Three Caballeros (a very underrated Disney classic movie.) The Three Caballeros are : Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles. Jose and Panchito need your help to locate Donald, as he has wandered off somewhere in Mexico. The ride itself is a slow moving boat ride, which interacts with television screens which tell the story. It is a lovely relaxing ride and very rarely has a queue. The ride used to be named El Rio Del Tiempo, and though a similar concept, the Caballeros were not featured whatsoever. 



If you are lucky enough, you may get to meet Caballero Donald Duck outside of the pyramid! The Cantina de San Angel does amazing churros too! You should definitely stop by at the Mexico pavilion and take in the culture. If like me, you have never visited Mexico it is amazing to get even the smallest taste of what it may be like.

Welcome

As a young girl I always dreamed of being a princess, and to be perfectly honest that childish dream hasn't gone away. Between my love of Disney, fashion, make-up and fantasy, my life is as much as I can possible make it a fairy tale. This blog is going to be full of everything that I have a passion for; and although the majority of it will be girly banter, I also partake in the love of theme parks, travelling, photography, YouTube and horror movies. So don't rule yourselves out of reading this just yet!
However, first of all I feel it proper to introduce myself. My name is Ellie, I have just turned 22 years old and come from a small town that nobody has ever heard of. My favourite place on Earth is Orlando in Florida and I cannot wait to visit there once again in September this year. You will most likely find me joined at the hip with my best friend Lucy who features in most of my adventures. She may even have her say on this blog. My hobbies are extremely varied and people seem to clarify me as a unique sort of person. I'll latch on to anything that takes me fancy, be it media related, baking, entering hundreds of competitions or being a total know-it-all at a pub quiz with my friends. 
So this is me. If you want to follow my adventure then please feel free.
