Disneyland Paris ~ A Dream come true
Disneyland Paris, I had been dreaming about visiting since I was a kid. I did not think one day I would be visiting this magical land all by myself. I did not think I would be adding this visit to my accomplishments list. This was a dream that was confined to the dream world because well I thought I was too old for Disneyland Paris. Yes I know it was silly of me to conclude that, but in my defence I only saw kiddy side to it and not the fun it was.
On one fine day, I was busy bustling at work when MoH messages me a Eurostar deal to Paris or Brussels. I had just returned from Brussels so I knew I wouldn’t be rushing back (even though I wanted to) so Paris it was. Now, in my fantasy world, I would have gone to Paris for the first time with MoH and he would propose. Obviously that didn’t happen, I took the bull by the horn and hopped on the train and went.

I have realised that waiting on people to help you accomplish your dreams is a waste of a dream. I had very much wanted to go to Disneyland Paris with someone, but alone was awesome too. Was it awesome, abso-freaking-lutely!! This was one of my best decisions in life ever. Though my initial intention was to visit Disneyland Paris with someone I am glad I went alone.
Take control of your dream and go for it
I have mentioned many times on the blog how much I have learnt about myself since I started solo traveling. I will admit I was pretty scared to start off with, I thoughts surviving in another country alone? But do you know what, I threw all common sense out the window and just went for it.
I say to you, go go go
Certain goals in life that take a lot of hardwork and others just take stepping out of your comfort zone. I am happy that I was able to travel to Disneyland Paris and experience everything Disneyland and also explore Paris.
Have you go after a dream? Stepped out of your comfort zone?
Annie Brooks says

Well done for going and achieving your dream! I was lucky enough to go to DisneyWorld on a press trip, so not technically alone, but not with anyone I knew, and I had a fab time.
Anosa says
How awesome and thank you. It was amazing realising my dream
Marissa Abao says
I absolutely agree! You do not need a travel buddy. Explore the world on your own. It is more fun and you can do anything you want.

So true and something I have learned along the way

Jodie Whitham says
What an inspiring post! I’m not a huge fan of disney (sorry), but this post really resonated with me. I am a stronger believer that just because YOU want to visit somewhere and loved ones don’t doesn’t mean it should stop you. Follow your dreams!
Anosa says
Thanks Jodie, you have to follow your dreams indeed
Sarah Bailey says
Oh wow it looks like you had an amazing time! I would love to visit Disneyland Paris one day myself.
Anosa says
I did and thanks Sarah

We went in May and loved it. I want to go back next year, and have Florida planned for five years time 🙂 You have to have a dream 🙂 Kaz x
Anosa says
You’re so right, you need to have a dream and I want to visit Florida too
[email protected] says
Kudos for realizing one of your dreams without waiting on anybody! I knew a couple (in their late forties) who didn’t have any kids (or grand kids) and who adored going to Walt Disney so, you’re right, it’s not just for kids!
Anosa says
Thanks Lydia and loving the sound of that couple
Mummytimestwo says

Julie Maloney says
How wonderful that you got to go to Disneyland Paris and I think it’s great that you travel so much. My husband and I plan on traveling more when we retire. Now we take one trip yearly.
Anosa says
Thanks Julie, I am happy to be traveling as often as I am.
Helen Costello says
Good on you for doing this solo – I’m liking that you will have been able to spend time in the parts of Disney that you wanted to. We’ve never been but hope to too soon!
Anosa says
Thank you Helen, hope you are able to go one day
Joanna McCaffrey says
It’s great you are doing all the solo travelling. I am sure it can be scary sometimes for a single female traveller, but you are right that we learn so much through travel. Not only about the places we visit, but about ourselves.
I am writing this from Bali. So, yes, I went with a crazy dream. Me and my family (husband, baby and a pre-schooler) came here to stay for a year, before we are trapped in the school system, and can only travel when the school is out. Best decision in my life!
Now the next crazy dream is to stay here permanently…
Anosa says
Now that is one amazing and wonderful crazy dream that I would love to take part in. How amazing it must be
Amber says
So fun! I went years ago when I was a teenager. I hope to get back someday. We love Disney!
Anosa says
It sure is fun
Camilla says
Looks like you had an amazing time in Disneyland Paris, I’m sure my kids would love to go:-)
Anosa says

LaaLaa says
I enjoyed my time at Disneyland Paris. I’d love to do a theme time there, I’ve always heard Halloween there xo
Anosa says
I would love to do a theme time as well
Rhian Westbury says
I went to Disneyland for Halloween and it was amazing, I want to go back and spend a whole weekend there as there’s so much to do x
Anosa says
I couldn’t agree more, I would love to do that too
Sheri says
I want to go, we are so close by and the flight from Vienna to Paris is a short one. Not sure about going with our toddler so young but maybe that really is a great time to enjoy it. Loved your pics.
Anosa says
I can’t say since I dont yet have kids myself but for my from 2 years old I would love to take them
Baby Isabella says
woweee! We can’t wait to go to Disneyland Paris next year. Love your photos and totally agree that you have to grab your dreams and make them a reality xx
Anosa says
Thanks, its the only way to achieve them and feel the full satisfaction
Lisa Lambert (mumdadplus4) says
Loved reading this and the pictures it brought back some great memories from when I went with the older two
Anosa says
Whenever I see the pictures I am reminded too of the wonderful time I had

I have been a few times and it’s always more magical the next time. I can’t wait to go back with my daughter in a few years.
Anosa says
I hope to be able to take my future kids one day
Blair Villanueva says
I bet Disneyland Paris will be a blast of joy this holiday season! So beautiful 😍😍😍
Anosa says
I am so sure it certainly will be
Jazmin Williams says
DLP is fantastic! It’s like my second home. I did a post a few years back with tips for the parks. I need to go again soon. I love your photos! You’ll have to visit other parks around the world – I’ve been to Florida but I’d love to visit every single one. I’m such a Disnerd 😉 x
Anosa says
I do wanna visit the other Disneylands around the world one day. I want to start with the Tokyo one before Florida
Beautyqueenuk says
I am going to Disneyland Paris on Monday and I am quite excited about it to be honest x
Anosa says
Awww I am so jealous but I bet you will have fun
GlamourGlitterGloss says
Fabulous! I went to Magaluf a few years ago by myself as my dream was to work a season there, isn’t it great when you accomplish it. That rush when you are on your way, the excitement outweighs the nerves. So glad you got to tick something off your bucket list
Anosa says
Thank you so much, it is definitely the best feeling ever when you accomplish a dream especially by yourself.
Glad your dream came true too
