As a majority of people reading this post will know I've recently returned from a trip to Disneyland Paris, it was a four day trip in which I stayed at the Sequoia lodge and I had the most amazing time ever! I hadn't been to Disneyland Paris since I was around 3 years old so it was really exciting for me to be able to return! Now, as I'm sure you can imagine I spent a load of money there, although not as much as I thought I would! I hope that nobody thinks this post is me bragging about the things I bought, I really just like sharing things available currently in the parks as It's something i often read other blog posts on and watch YouTube videos of hauls. So, if you don't like Haul posts I suggest you don't read on as this will not be for you! I saved for nearly a year to be able to take money with me that I could just buy things I wanted!
Like the bad blogger I am I didn't save receipts for a lot of the things or remember the colour coding price system they have on some items but I'll try my best to give an estimated price for most things! I also can't remember every single shop in which I bought everything but if I do remember I will of course include it!
This is a long one, so maybe grab a drink and some chocolate to have a chilled out read.

The very first thing that I actually bought on this trip was my lanyard, lanyard pouch and a few pins! I already have a few pins in a collection on a pin board but only a few, however on this trip I went a bit pin crazy, mainly because they're quite affordable and I liked being able to wear them on my lanyard around the parks. They helped me with interactions with characters as well, particularly Donald Duck who really enjoyed seeing himself displayed on my lanyard. The lanyard itself was €9.99 and the lanyard pouch was €7.99, however the lanyard pouch isn't pictured it was a star wars pouch and I mainly bought it to keep all of my tickets in but it broke near the end of the trip which was disappointing. I won't go into detail about each pin but they varied in price between €6.99 and €9.99, if you'd like me to do a full post just on my pins drop me a message and I'd be happy to do so!
I also got this amazing blanket which I've seen in several hauls and I've wanted it ever since I first saw it! It was on special as a purchase with purchase item which you could get for €9.99 instead of €19.99 if you spent over I think €25 in a single transaction. It's so fluffy and warm and really quite big, I think it was quite cheap for the price and I absolutely love the design.
I didn't actually but this item for myself but my parents kindly got it for me as a surprise within a few hours of us arriving at our hotel. They went to have a look in the hotel shop whilst I sat with our suitcases and arrived back with this for me. I was so surprised and I couldn't believe it, I absolutely love this snow globe, it's so adorable and I love the detail. unfortunately I don't know the price of this as it was a gift but i assume it may be around the €50 mark? It's very well packaged so didn't get damaged on the return trip to the UK. This is a musical snow globe that plays the song 'Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride'.
This is an item I've also seen in several hauls and something I really wanted so I'm so glad I managed to find it in a big enough size for my chunky fingers! It's a lovely ring and something that's subtle in it's disney-ness and is definitely suitable for everyday wear. It was 'green' on the pricing chart which I believe was around €18??
I saw these earrings and straight away I knew I had to buy them, They came in both gold and silver, but I much preferred the silver. For the two pairs of earrings they were in the 'blue' category and I believe they cost €24.99.
I got this necklace because I thought it was a lovely design and a little bit more exciting than just a plain mickey head necklace, I really like the varied size's of the mickeys and the layout. This necklace was in the 'pink' category and cost I think €34.99.
The last pieces of jewellery that I bought were these adorable minnie earrings! I love that although they're quite plain they have a bit of sparkle as well as coming in an adorable box similar to the necklace, these earrings were in the blue category and cost €24.99.
Another purchase with purchase item I found was this cute bowl! This came from the shop in the Ratatouille section of Walt Disney Studios and was only €4.99 when you spent over €25, luckily my parents bought some souvenirs in this shop so I managed to get this bowl! I really like the design of this bowl and I really wanted to get something ratatouille themed after really enjoying the ride! I'll be having all my cereal and porridge in this bowl from now on!
As soon as I saw this jumper from afar I knew I had to have it! I love the uniqueness of the design, especially as the Beast doesn't really have much merchandise. I was even more happy when I realised this jumper was on sale, instead of €50 it cost me only €14.99 which was a complete bargain for a lovely quality Disneyland jumper!
Another jumper but this time it was unfortunately full price at €54.99 which for me is a crazy amount to spend on a jumper but I got so excited by the cute design I just got it because I knew I'd regret it if I didn't. I'd also just been on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, so I'm going to blame my excitement of being on the ride on my purchase too, although I don't regret it because I love the jumper and know I'll get a lot of wear out of it.
I only got one magnet from my trip and it was this amazing 'Dreams' magnet! Dreams is coming to an end and I absolutely fell in love with it when i saw it! To commemorate the amazing feeling watching Dreams I wanted to get something to represent Dreams and this was the only thing I could find, luckily I love it. This was I believe €5.99 and is a lovely magnet.
I knew I wanted to get myself an ornament to commemorate our trip and as soon as I saw this amazing piece I knew it was the one I wanted! I have this design in a pin and have wanted this ornament for a while but had no idea they sold it at Disneyland Paris so upon seeing it I was over the moon. It is so incredibly detailed and just a beautiful concept. The price of the ornament was €89 and I believe it was worth every cent I paid for it.
This last piece is something I will keep very dear to me and I think it's probably my favourite item I got on the whole trip. We were sitting on the Eurostar home waiting to leave when my mum pulled a small bag out of her handbag and put it on the table infront of me. I took out and 'Arribas brothers' box and was so confused, but when I opened it I could have cried. I'd wondered why earlier that morning my dad had disappeared when I was taking some of my final photos of the Disneyland Park and soon discovered it was because he'd gone to buy me this amazing glass Enchanted Rose. I don't know how much it cost but to me it's definitely priceless.
There we have it! The end of my Disneyland Paris haul, excluding any thing I got for people as gifts. Hopefully you've enjoyed this post, I know it was a long one but it was one I really wanted to write as I love reading them myself.
Have you got any DLP trips planned? If so when do you go? Is there anything you're looking forwards to purchasing?
Thanks again for reading this post!

This is one of my best purchases on the trip, this amazing holdall which was only $9.99 in total! I absolutely love the design of this and it folds up really small so is ideal for over spillage of gifts if you buy too much for your suitcase like I did! We ended up buying them as gifts for people as well as buying a few for ourselves just because the price was so good! They're really roomy and lightweight and definitely worth the price.

Another cheap purchase I made was this cute rain mac! It rained quite a bit in Disneyland Paris so I was lucky to have bought this as I used it pretty often in the end. I really like the subtleness of the design and the cute Mickey with his anchor. This mac was originally €60 and only cost me €10 so I was really excited to have found it for such a great price.

Something I was really excited to get my hands on was this amazing BB-8 cup which cost me €12.99 with a drink! I'd seen this cup available online in the American parks so when I saw it was available in Paris I knew I had to get it.
I only got one magnet from my trip and it was this amazing 'Dreams' magnet! Dreams is coming to an end and I absolutely fell in love with it when i saw it!

This was I believe €5.99 and is a lovely magnet.
The majority of rides I rode on I absolutely loved but nearly above all I loved Tower of Terror, not just for the ride but for everything about it! The themeing, the cast members and just everything. I wanted to get something Hollywood Tower Hotel themed just because I love the whole story behind the ride, this keyring cost €6.99 and is quite a large keyring.
I had an amazing meet with Mary Poppins and two penguins so I wanted to get this beautiful little Mary Poppins ornament, I love the fact it has two penguins get like the ones I'd met earlier that day! This ornament is well detailed and also rather well painted for only €19.99.
The last thing I actually bought on my trip, just as we were leaving our hotel, was this adorable little Minnie Mouse plush! I was upset about not being able to find Dug wearing his cone of shame on my trip so bought this Minnie to make myself feel better as I don't have any Minnie's wearing her iconic red polka dot dress! This little plush cost €17.99 which is quite expensive however I couldn't leave her behind.
This last piece is something I will keep very dear to me and I think it's probably my favourite item I got on the whole trip.
