Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom

It’s the place where dreams come true. Where little girls become princesses for the day, and boys can become pirates and go on adventures. Where a castle comes alive every night with lights, music and of course, fireworks. I’m talking about the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disneyworld, a place where even a grown woman can wear mouse ears and get away with it.

Magic Kingdom is full of whimsy, and I wanted to dress the part. I am wearing a cream chiffon and lace top, c/o Nowistyle, a hot pink mini from H&M, a Coach Legacy Penny bag in ultraviolet and comfy Ipanema sandals. The finishing touch to this look are my Minnie Mouse ears I bought in Disneyworld a few years back.

new disney world fantasy land belleEvery time I visit Disneyworld, there is something new. Last year, a whole new section devoted to our favourite princesses opened up in the Magic Kingdom: Fantasyland. The expansion saw the addition of two new castles, including Belle’s (above) and Ariel’s grotto and castle (below).

Sadly, no real beer to be found in the whole Magic Kingdom. I couldn’t stop laughing at the plaque on this fountain, “Tribute to Gaston An extravagantly generous gift to the humble people of my village from me, Gaston.”

    Ok, wait a minute. My name is Nathalie, I have that same Guess watch, and Ariel is most definitely my favorite Disney princess. Are we long lost sisters?? Lol

    I forgot to mention that in my previous comment. I remember meeting Ariel. She looked exactly like this girl does. These Disney folks are so good at maintaining the same image for their princesses through the years. And I remember the parade and the fireworks. I remember a lot. But not enough. My friends are always going (it’s a huge pastime in Miami), and they think it’s so weird I haven’t gone since I was 8!

    Anyway, so glad I found you! Via Lookbook, by the way.
    I look forward to keeping up with your blog!

    xo,
