JUST PLANE LUCKY!!

Suggested wording to add to your page or to send out to friends and family....
Hello my wonderful family and friends! As most of you will know I have a passion for competitions and one of my dream prizes has been to win a holiday abroad! I have recently been working on a project with 99 other compers (all as crazy as me) ðŸ˜‚ to win the ultimate party plane trip and holiday to Majorca with Jet2. And our plane is in the final!! ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬ ðŸŽ‰
Please please please could you vote for our plane: JUST PLANE LUCKY
(you'll need to register your name and email address with Jet2 but you can untick the box so they don't spam you! - just ignore if it tells you, you are boarding the plane, seems to be a technical glitch!)
It would make me very happy and also make all the hard work I've put into this, worth it!
AND JUST FOR VOTING YOU WILL BE ENTERED INTO JET2'S COMPETITION TO WIN A HOLIDAY FOR 4!
Even just vote for us so you get to see me make a fool of myself wearing lucky pants at the airport! ðŸ˜‚ ðŸ™ˆ
Hope you enjoy our video and song! (you may recognise a face or two and voice!)
Thank you! ðŸ˜˜ ðŸ˜˜ (I owe you one!) x
P.s. Feel free to share with your friends!
P.p.s. This will be massively promoted within the press and social media, more so in Manchester for us as that's the airport we would be flying from. So look out for it in the paper and share/retweet anything you see online! We need as many votes as we can get!

DISNEYLAND PARIS V.I.P TRIP!

DISNEYLAND PARIS V.I.P TRIP!

Well for those of you who don't know, I won a V.I.P trip to Disneyland Paris with AttractionTix!!!

The moment I saw the post on their facebook page saying that you could win this trip I knew I had to put effort into attempting to win such an amazing prize.
The brief was to film a video with only 2 main components. Firstly, you had to say which Disney character was your favourite as a child and why. And then secondly, you had to do an impression of that character.
When I was around the age of 3, Snow White was my favourite character. She was the Princess I aspired to be and would re-watch the film over and over and over again. So she was the character I chose for the video. I brainstormed a few ideas on a Microsoft Word document. My first option was to make up a song (which I had done previously for a different competition to win a trip to Disneyland which unfortunately I didn't win!) I started trying to come up with some lyrics, but soon scrapped this idea. Then all of a sudden I had a brainwave, I was going to show how I was the complete opposite of Snow White and why I want to be like her, then I would magically transform into her and be able to do all the things I couldn't. I knew I wanted it to be humorous, as I thought this would stand out. 
I watched the film for the 100000th time and read her wikipedia bio. I wrote down 4 themes on paper.

1. Baking
2. Talks to animals
3. Cleaning
4. Likes apples

This was all I needed to come up with my final idea. I will leave the video below so you can see precisely what I am talking about.


I waited anxiously all day during the day it was being announced. I had found a couple of other entries on YouTube and comping groups and was sure I hadn't won, even though I was actually really proud of my entry. About 7pm I gave up staring at the Facebook page and refreshed it to go to my timeline. When all of a sudden I spotted my video at the top of my timeline! I literally screamed!!! I was shaking, couldn't believe I'd managed it!

Okay so enough of all that, here is the really exciting bit! The prize details....

Firstly, Lucy, Pete and Disneyland newbie Meryn are coming on the trip with me, and I could not be happier!
We are travelling down on the Eurostar, which means that we get to spend a day eitherside in London too!
We are staying in the Newport Bay Hotel for 2 nights, which I am really excited about because I stayed there as a child and loved it!
We have the Disney Express Luggage Service added to the package which is great as I suffer from CFS and dragging luggage is the hardest part of a trip for me.
We also have the Full Board Plus meal plan which is truly amazing! We had a meal plan for my birthday trip in June and we adored it. This time we are going to try Bistrot Chez Remy which is somewhere I've always wanted to try!
As well as this, we have Plaza Gardens for a character dining Breakfast and Buffalo Bill's on our first night!
We have V.I.P Fastpasses for our trip and V.I.P Parade and Firework Viewing! Which is truly magical! I can't wait to see Illuminations close up.
Me and Lucy are going to be going on a V.I.P guided tour which has been a dream of mine since I first went to a Disney park, I love learning facts about the parks (although I probably already know them all!)
And lastly, there is apparantly going to be a Disney surprise in the room when we arrive!

I am literally freaking out about how amazing this prize is! We leave for London on the 13th of November, we're in Disneyland the 14th - 16th and then have the 17th in London again! If you're going to be in the parks let me know so we can say hi!
