Review: Disneyland Paris Mickey Mouse & Train Hanging Ornament and Anacompany.co.uk

Last year I was looking for a Sketchbook Disney hanging ornament which I had missed out on and I came across anacompany.co.uk (Ana & Co.), a reseller company that specialises in Disney ShopDisney and Disney Parks’ merchandise. In this blog I am going to review a hanging ornament which I purchased from them and review the company themselves. 

 The Disneyland Paris Mickey Mouse and train hanging ornament is a sparkly red and pastel coloured train with Mickey driving it. The ornament is part of the Fantasyland Once Upon a Time series which is exclusive to DLP. The train is inspired by the Casey Jr Le Petit Train du Cirque Ride. As it isn’t particularly Christmassy/ festive it would look great displayed throughout the year. The ornament measures 6.5x7x3cm and can be either free standing or hung from its chiffon ribbon. It is a cute ornament with lots of detailing. 

I have used Ana & Co. on several occasions and have been pleased with my items. Their website doesn’t look particularly inspiring. It is clunky and hard to navigate but there are lots of items to see/buy. The first time I used them I purchased several items and was concerned I wouldn’t receive my parcel. I did, each item wrapped in copious amounts of bubble wrap and none broken (unlike shopDisney). The online payment system doesn’t look great but there is a phone number you can ring if you feel iffy about using it. The My Accounts section is also temperamental. They are a reseller so you will pay more than if you had bought the product direct, but in some cases it is still cheaper than eBay and shipping is free over £100. 

I enjoy looking at the Disney Parks items - it is fun to seee what is new now that it is so much harder to visit Mickey. Despite the draw backs to the website I will continue to use it and would recommend it.

Review: Disneyland Paris The Aristocats Glass Globe Hanging Ornament

 

I purchased my Aristocats Glass Globe Hanging Ornament (£12.99) when I visited DLP, this on will be used as a prize during my Twitter Christmas hourly  competition.  This ornament features Toulouse and Berlioz sitting on and next to a gramophone player. There are tiny glitter musical notes painted onto the outside of the glass globe. The ornament measures 10x8x8cm.

Review: Disneyland Paris Lady and the Tramp Glass Globe Hanging Ornament

 I love the animal themed Disney/ Sketchbook hanging ornaments and this one has certainly caught Lady and the Tramp’s expressions as the eat spaghetti gazing into each other’s eyes! The ornament measures 10x8x8cm and has a base so can be placed on a shelf or hung from the loop. It is a DLP exclusive.

Review: Disneyland Paris Nala and Simba Globe Hanging Ornament

I purchased the Nala and Simba Hanging Ornament (£12.99) when I visited Disneyland Paris two years ago (I bought this one to use as a prize via ShopDisney UK). The only change is the swing tag which is now the new version. Simba is patting a blue bug whilst Nala looks on. They are encased in a semi globe which has a flat base so it can either be free standing or hung from the chiffon hanging loop. It measures 10x9cm.

Review: Disneyland Paris 101 Dalmations Glass Globe Hanging Ornament

 

The Disneyland Paris 101 Dalmations Glass Globe Ornament (£12.99) is one of my favourite ornaments of all time. The ornament features Patch and Lucky sitting in front of and on a tv.  I love that the tv shows a very majestic German Shepard dog and Licky has the remote in his mouth! The tv is glittery. The ornament can be free standing or hung up. The ornament measures 10x8x8cm and the globe is fragile as it is glass. I wish the globe was made from a clear resin or plastic base as one hard knock and it is smashed. I do like that Disneyland Paris exclusive is stamped on the base of the ornament. The swing/ gift tag is the new style Studio themed card.

Review: Disneyland Paris The Three Bears from Brave Hanging Ornament

 

 I saw the Triplet Bears from Brave Hanging Ornament when I visited Disneyland Paris 2 years ago for my mum’s 80th birthday.  I loved the contrast of the bears and their gorgeous and eye catching blue eyes.  The ornament measures 6x5x5cm and features Hamish, Harris and Hubert,  The tree stump is glittery and the hanging loop is jute so fits the woodland theme. The swing tag is in the old style  which I actually prefer as it looks not like a gift tag Than the new version.

Be A Pixi Princess/Prince With Pixi MultiBalm In Wild Rose

As I struggle with hand/eye coordination and have problems gripping small or slim items I was intrigued to try out Pixi MultiBalm in Wild Rose (£12) The Multibalm can be used on cheeks and lips and comes packaged in a chunky, easy to grip, plastic case with a twist up mechanism, so very easy to use! The MultiBalm is a creme-powder formula which is fortified with aloe vera, Shea butter, and rose hip oil. The balm should be dabbed on to cheeks and tapped onto lips.

I chose wild rose which is a dusky rose pink shade.  The dual purpose balm adds a flush of healthy colour to the lips and cheeks and this balm is a great way to create a healthy glow which stays put all day. I did use it as an eyeshadow and it didn’t irritate my eyes. The MultiBalm has buildable coverage and is easy to blend. It had a satiny finish.  These are great for travel or just to use on the go as they are compact, multi purpose and easy to use.  Mine had great longevity even though I have very greasy skin and it added that touch of a healthy glow which was much needed on a very cold day!

 

I purchased this item myself and the MultiBalms are available at all Pixi Beauty stockists and Boutiques.

Disneyland Paris: Remy & Mickey and Minnie Christmas Decorations

I always used to buy a Disneyland Paris decoration from the Christmas shop in the castle when I was well enough to go to DLP. I then continued purchasing them through the now defunct concierge service. Now you can purchase select items through Shop Disney. As the second part of my DLP decoration haul I chose one light up decoration and Remy. 

 The Mickey and Minnie light up bauble  is £15.99. The bauble is fragile as it is made of resin and glass. The sleeping beauty castle switches on at the base, lights up and changes colour. Mickey and Minnie are adorable. The bauble measures H13xW8xD6cm. There are glittery accents and powdery snow inside the bauble. It has Joyeux Noel and the Disneyland Paris logo on the base. The item came well packaged. This is not a toy and due to small parts, glass etc is not suitable for children under 36 months.


                                      

The Remy candy cane hanging Christmas ornament is £7.99 and is made from resin with a chiffon hanging loop. He is made from resin, there are glittery accents and he measures 8x2x2 cm.  He is adorable but he is not a toy and due to small parts not suitable for children under 36 months. 

I purchased these items myself and they are available at Disneyland Paris and ShopDisney.
