Disney Favorites This Week (4.25.18)

Now that I've posted my favorite Meme of the day... let's get into some of my actual Disney favorites this week! I do weekly favorites on my beauty blog... so I thought I'd throw some on this blog too!

First off I won't do a total review on this because I just mentioned it yesterday- but my Pirate Life fragrance Oil from Magic Candle Company. This is just a nice, summery scent that brings me right back to my childhood. It is just a great scent! Check out my review here.

I have a lot of youtube favorites this week too. First off The Tim Tracker! Tim and Jen are daily vloggers that usually post about Disney World and other theme parks and Water Parks in Orlando. This week has been kind of exciting because Disney invited them on a Mega Trip basically where they started out at an Adventures by Disney in California and Disneyland, a 2 day Disney Cruise to Mexico, and then they're going to stay at Aulani. Right now they have their Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise videos up and I'm sure their Aulani videos will be up soon. Here is the first video in the series- it seems like they're having a great time so far and the videos are really fun!

Another fun vlog I watched was from Corey Fiasco. He and his wife Hayley just did a fun vlog of their typical weekend living right near Disney. They ate dinner at The Contemporary, the next day they went to Disney Springs and Epcot. This wasn't their most recent vlog, but for some reason it popped up in my homepage- so I'll post a link right here. It's just a fun vlog and it makes me want to find more fun things to do around where I live.

Disney Food Blog has done 2 really helpful videos this week too... they always have super helpful videos- but 2 of their latest have been incredibly helpful. They've basically assembled like The Avengers to bring all of their knowledge together and show what their team has learned from eating at every single restaurant, and from being in the parks almost every day. Someone from their team is at the parks all times of the year- and I guess almost every day... which is super helpful and awesome. Here is the video about going to disney almost every day and here is their video on eating at every restaurant.

One last video that isn't all Disney related- but it still did mention Disney and it can probably be helpful... so I'm going to post it on here anyway. It's from Dreams Unlimited travel and it's all about traveling as a same sex couple. I'm not in a same sex relationship- but I still watched the video and I thought they did a good job and I feel like it could maybe help some people. They also share some stories that are kind of funny about people being overly friendly or people reacting differently. It's a good video- you can watch it right here.

And I should probably mention some of these videos are kind of long. The DFB Food video and the Dreams Unlimited Travel video are around 30 minutes I think... the vlogs are a little shorter for the most part. I just thought I'd mention that too...

I'm also super, super excited for Avengers Endgame! I just watched Infinity War again to prepare for Endgame- which I'm seeing on Monday. I probably won't post anything the rest of the weekend just because I'm staying off the internet to avoid spoilers... but I'm really excited. I loved Infinity War, I loved Captain Marvel... I'm just so excited to see what's going to happen.

I also love the Mickey Bars that you can get in the grocery store right now. I think these are still available... but they're really good ice cream bars that just remind me of those classic Mickey Premium Bars at the parks... which is one of my favorite snacks to eat at the parks... it's just really great.

The new Star Wars Trailer too! I'm so excited guys! This looks so good- I love Star Wars and I'm wondering how they're going to follow up The Last Jedi. Plus LANDO CALRISSIAN! It's just going to be a fun one!

Alright guys- I think that is everything! Sorry this is so video heavy... that's just kind of what my favorites were this week! I'll see you guys next week! I think I'll do a "Marvel Monday" post on Infinity War and then I'll do a post about Endgame after I see that.

Hope you guys like this post! Let me know what your favorites for the week were- Disney favorites or general favorites... I love it all!

Magic Candle Company Fragrance Oil Haul+ Review

One of the inspirations for this blog was the fragrance oils from Magic Candle Company. They keep mentioning these candles on one of my favorite Disney Podcasts- The Dis Unplugged... and they are a sponsor to the show too... but this just sounded amazing to me and I really wanted to try something from them. And I'm a little scared of candles- so I thought the oils were something I would be more into. They have a deal where you can pick for for $27ish dollars... which sounded like a good deal to me. Dis Unplugged actually also has a coupon code... and Magic Candle Company actually sent me a coupon code for me to use so that was what I ended up using. You can totally find coupons for this.

So I grabbed 4 scents... so far I've only used 2 so I'll talk about the 2 that I've used right now and I'll probably do a blog soon on the other 2... but I'll mention everything I picked out right now.

The 2 I haven't used are Ice Cream Shop and Butterbeer. Ice Cream Shop is probably the most specific memory I have from a Disney scent... but it was maybe my least favorite when I tested the oils initially. Butterbeer I wanted because I do love Harry Potter also and I wanted to get a Harry Potter/Universal themed one too.

The first one I used was my favorite from the actual initial smell test of these: Floridian. This actually shares a scent with some of the other fragrances too... It's the same as Contemporary, Beach Resort and Yacht Resort. Some of the scents are shared- they will tell you on the website... just be careful on your Pick 4s because you don't want to pick 2 of the same fragrances. Anyway this scent is a really nice, clean, hotel lobby type of scent. I have stayed at The Grand Floridian and I don't really remember it having a specific scent... but it does remind me of The Grand Floridian. It's very clean, somewhat orange-y and it just smells really pretty.

The other one I tried is Pirate Life... which is a really special scent, honestly. I've heard about people saying that the smell of Pirates of The Carribean is one of the best... and honestly I didn't really remember it that much. But when I started using this oil... it brought me right back. I feel like I'm standing in that Queue for Pirates just waiting to board my boat... and that's really fun. Pirates is one of my favorite rides. It's nice and cool when you go in the summer and it's hot out... its nice. It smells clean and cool. Disney uses Bromine in their water to keep it clean and this scent replicates the smell of Bromine without actually using Bromine. It's just a nice clean smell- I think this one will definitely be a favorite scent for the summer. I really love it... and man- this one just really transports me to my childhood and Disney World.

So overall I will totally purchase from Magic Candle Company in the future. I'm excited to try some of their christmasy scents and maybe another product from them sometime soon. They just have some really good products here. These would also make great gifts for Disney fans.

Alright guys! That is everything! I hope you like this or find it useful!

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Hey everyone! Happy Earth Day! Since Earth Day is the day that Disney's Animal Kingdom opened back in 1998- I thought I would talk about it today for a little bit!

Animal Kingdom is one of the most interesting parks in my opinion because I actually went when it was brand new! I forget if my first trip to Disney was 1998 or 1999- but either way it was pretty close to when Animal Kingdom opened! So even though I haven't been there through a lot of the more recent changes... I've been there through some changes and I'm excited to see the newer additions!

One thing I really like about the park is that it's never really the same park twice. It's mainly themed around actual animals... so you never really know what you're going to see! They have a really nice safari ride that is literally different every time you go to it. You never really know what you're going to see. The Tim Tracker did a video on the safari after a rain storm and all the animals came out to play afterward and it was really cute and he had a great time. Either way- you get to see some animals... and it's a really fun look at the animals in animal kingdom. This is definitely a must do attraction at Animal Kingdom.

And honestly... most of the rides in Animal Kingdom are really detailed and must- do attraction. Just waiting in the queue line of Expedition Everest is really really cool. The ride itself is amazing too- but the queue is really cool and really detailed. Dinosaur I think is one of my favorite rides that is really fun and very detailed. And it's not like a roller coaster or a simulator or anything- so I feel like just about anyone could do Dinosaur... although it is a little scary! I was pretty shocked when the big T Rex came out and they take your picture... It's really funny.

I've never been to Pandora- but I'm really happy that they added that. Not only does it look incredible and immersive and wonderfully done... but now they actually keep the park open longer than they did before! They have a nighttime show, and projections on The Tree of Life- which is all really cool. It's just nice that being open longer allowed them to all these other possibilities.

Also... I just love that they have characters in Safari outfits. I remember getting all the stuffed animals as kids and I just thought they were so cute. You can meet Mickey and his friends in their Safari Gear at one of the restaurants there which is really cool. I remember having a Winnie The Pooh Canteen that had a fan on it and Winnie the Pooh in his safari outfit... it was really cool.

So yeah. That's everything I have about Animal Kingdom right now! Hope you guys are having a good earth day and let me know what your favorite things about Animal Kingdom are!

Bye!

Welcome To The Cozy Princess!

Hey everyone! My name is Shannon. I'm a 27 year old blogger and major Disney fan!

I've loved Disney since I was a kid- and although I live in New Jersey and have not been to the parks in a very long time... I like following all the themepark youtube videos and I love trying to bring a little bit of Disney Magic into my everyday life.

This idea came from my wonderful boyfriend, Aspen! I was talking about writing on one of my other blogs (I have 2 Scribbles About Beauty and The Daily Something) and how happy I am sitting at my desk with all of my disney themed things and he said "I'm glad your happy. You should start a Disney Blog." And I was like "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA I SHOULD START A DISNEY BLOG!"

So what will this blog be about? Disney... obviously! Lol. I'll probably have some movie reviews, maybe some Disney Store Hauls... maybe I'll even do some DIY's and Disney Bounds. I kind of just want this to be any sort of way that I can bring a little bit of magic into my life... and the lives of my readers. I might post some Non Disney things that I'm a fan of too here if I think it's something magical that might belong here. I'm not really sure! This idea just came about a little over an hour ago!

I'm not sure how often I'll post... but I'd like to have something for you guys to read often!

TTFN!
