Dedicated to DLP comes in 3 different formats, there is a blog , a You Tube channel and a Podcast all run by the lovely Steve, with a little help from his friends!
As well as all those resources? You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook as Dedicated to Disneyland Paris. These are the places where you can get involved with the blog/you tube and podcast and share your opinions.
The blog is a wonderful resource for all DLP related news. Steve updates press releases, rumours, trip reports, reviews, pin releases and basically everything that you could wish for that is DLP related. If your aren’t already then you really should subscribe to this blog if you are a DLP fan!
An offshoot of the blog is the Dedicated to DLP You Tube Channel. Here, Steve uploads weekly news update videos as well as occasional collaborations with other DLP you tubers. I know that Steve took some vlog footage on his Xmas trip to DLP so as well as the usual trip report updates, I think we will be getting some vlogging coming in the near future.
Steve has a very positive demeanour, he is very personable and easy to watch so I really enjoy the You Tube element of Dedicated to DLP. He also takes a very honest approach to his reporting and will share rumours, but always makes it clear that they are not official in any way to avoid disappointment.
The final part of dedicated to DLP is the amazing podcast. This is how I found Steve and Mark and continues to be my favourite recorded podcast to listen to. Steve is joined by Mark (@fusemp on Twitter) for most of these podcasts which are a fun and lively chat about the latest DLP news, changes, rumours, updates and anything else DLP related.
If you want to know more about the podcast hosts, this About page is quite informative …
The interaction between the hosts is amusing as they often disagree on topics. The podcast relies heavily on input from the social media followers too, Steve will often as for feedback/questions/suggestions for shows and they always credit the people who have contacted them. It’s lovely to have a podcast that is so involved in the DLP online community.
All in all, if you haven’t had a chance to check out dedicated to DLP on any of its platforms, you are missing out.
Go have a read/watch/listen and let me know what you think!

Plus Size Disney clothing in the U.K. Is near impossible to find (unless you want Jammies – but who wants to wear Jammies in public?!) so I am addicted to window shopping the US sites. Forever hoping to catch the 50% off international shipping days!
I thought that you might like to see the items I am lusting after at the moment, let’s start with Torrid.
Minnie Mouse bikini top – Torrid
Minnie Mouse bikini bottoms – Torrid
Ariel Dress – Torrid
Snow White Dress – Torrid
Miss Piggy Tee – Torrid
Wicked Sweater – Torrid
💜 Ursula Dress 💜 – Torrid
OUAT Regina Dress – Torrid
Now let’s move on to Hot Topic …
Lilo Dress – Hot Topic
Baymax Vest Top – Hot Topic
Belle Rose Dress – Hot Topic
Cheshire Cat Dress – Hot Topic
Villains dress – Hot Topic
Storm Trooper Dress – Hot Topic
I think that’s more than enough to give you an idea of what’s available!
Both websites offer 50% off international shipping occasionally, if you are signed up to their mailing list then you will be informed when that offer comes around. Please do be aware that you are likely to be hit with customs charges though – which can be just as much as the 50% you saved on shipping!
What clothing collections are you loving that are available at the moment?

January is the poorest of months for most people who celebrate Christmas. Obviously, this means that it’s also the month I am most likely to find everything I want, but can’t afford!
So here is what I am lusting after at the moment … Disney Style!
Star Wars Storm Trooper Purse – The Disney Store £9.99 in the sale!
MUPPETS Haunted Mansion style print – Redbubble
Minnie Mouse Jammies – ASOS curve
Ursula Phone Case – Redbubble
Villains Phone Case – Redbubble
Spaceship Earth Dress – Kawiianpizzaapparel On Etsy
Alice in Wonderland Door Knob – Propsculptor on Etsy
Alice Fabric – Frumble
Ursula Inspired Stack Rings – thefinejewelleryco
Alice in Wonderland Scarf – Redbubble
I’ve stuck to items available in the UK as I keep getting stung with customs charges when I shop abroad!
It may be a bit Alice and Ursula heavy, but let’s face it – it was always going to be! Haha!
What are you lusting after at the moment?

Hi!
I’ve not been about for a while, I know that last year I had intentions of blogging more and it didn’t happen .. I think I might have even said it the year before as well but life has always got in the way!
2016 was a pretty shitty year for me in general. I started the year with Barry the Bloodclot in my leg, a potentially life threatening illness which fortunately has now cleared but wasn’t a fun time for anyone while he was with us. sadly towards the end of last year and at the start of this year, I lost some family members who were very dear to me. The past few months have been a dark time because frankly, I’m not someone that deals with death well.
That combined with work issues and a business which spiralled out of my control for a while made for a pretty hectic year.
The best thing to come out of 2016 was my wonderful relationship with my amazing Mark. I’m a very lucky girl and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
Moving forward with the year ahead, I have lots of content ideas for my blog so I’m going to ressurect her from the ashes, blow off the dust and start sharing content again.
I am passionate about plus size fashion, Disney bounding and cosplay so I’m super excited to start sharing some of my latest finds, ideas on upcycling clothes into Disney fashion, how I outfit plan for trips, some of my fave custom made dress sellers and there may even be a sneaky little collaboration in the works!
Let me know if you want to see more Disney inspired make up looks … I know I only shared a couple but I do have plenty of ideas for more if that’s something you might want to see?
I will also have a big post on my Halloween soirée costume as becoming Ursula was a pretty spectacular achievement for me and I had the most incredible night.
I also have some posts coming up on Disney DIYs, painting projects I’m working on, my ever growing Alice in Wonderland collection and lots more …
So hopefully you’ll want to stick around and read some of them!
Lots of Love

A lovely Twitter follower contacted me this week to ask if I could help her to put together a wearable ‘Cruella’ makeup look to go with the Disneybound she is planning for an upcoming trip, I of course jumped at the chance!
This is a series that I am hoping to find time to continue with as I have so many ideas and it’s fun to create wearable looks inspired by characters!
So here goes … Cruella De Vil inspired makeup
Products used
Base
Brows
Eyes
Lips
Let me know if you’d like me to create more looks!

I am going to do a series of some of my favourite Disney related things that you can do, see, shop and participate in online!
I am starting off today with my new favourite Disney Podcast and that is the fabulous IMDO Podcast which is hosted by Mark.
The format of this new podcast is a radio show, featuring the most wide ranging (and sometimes obscure) Disney music. Combined with interactive call in’s from Disney fans all over the world to share their ‘Disney Opinion’ which can sometimes result in a healthy debate and occasionally just descends into hilarious chaos in the case of ‘sausage gate’
I myself have called in to the show and despite being very nervous to start with it was a really fun experience and one that I am still getting stick for now. So if you have been listening and are considering calling in to share your ‘Disney Opinion’ Do it!
You can listen to the historic footage at Awdio and that is also where you can listen live to the podcast when its broadcasting! There is even an Awdio App that you can download to your smartphone.
If you want to know when upcoming shows are scheduled to be or even ask any questions to Mark, the host then you can find him on twitter @IMDOPodcast or find him on Facebook here

Hello!
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and for that I am incredibly sorry – life has been running away with me somewhat as my little business over at my Queen Ursula Shop has taken off more than I could have possibly imagined and is keeping me VERY busy!
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I am heading off to Disneyland Paris on Monday for a few days to see the Swing into Spring festival!
Spring is my absolute favourite time of year at Disneyland Paris. It is so bright, colourful and vibrant in the way that they decorate the park, then add into that the amazing shows, parades and flash mobs and the magic is enhanced tenfold!
This trip will be a little different for me as I am going with my Mummy, Sister and my two beautiful nieces Freya (4) and Evie (1) so this is the first time that I will experience my favourite park through the eyes of a child. I am also staying in the Disneyland Hotel for the first time this trip! I am very excited to experience the luxury of the pink hotel and not having to wander through the village following my nightly glowtini’s in Café Fantasia!
I have been closely following everyone’s Spring trips on social media and they are just making me more and more excited to go – the amount of characters that have been out at the moment is incredible and I’m keen to stand in the Alice corner of the hub for Goofy’s garden party to see my fave characters!
I will also be there for the final day of Star Tours going to Endor! After the 16th March 2016 the Star Tours ride will be being closed for about a year (I think) to be updated to bring it in line with the new Star Wars films.
I have, as usual, meticulously planned my outfits for this trip. I will post up photos when I get back to show you all what I wore! Needless to say one outfit is Star Wars themed!!
There are going to be a lot of people at the parks this time that I know from social media and from meeting in the parks before so I cannot wait to hang out with some really fabulous people!!
Please keep an eye on my social media to see live photos and videos from my trip. I am hoping to utilise Periscope and Snapchat a bit more this trip!
