Really appreciate you making such a long and thorough vlog Sam! I felt emotional with everything you said here and feeling so grateful that I will get to experience this magic myself in September

I think it’s 100% Aurora, from the forest scene where the animals steal prince Phillips outfit!! So excited to watch all the video and I can’t wait to go on the 12th of April!!

1 hour of Sam! That’s what we need, yes queen!

I felt the exact same when I watched illuminations for the first time in 3 years. I burst into tears after the very first firework and I sobbed for about half of it! So beautiful

I admit I’m only ten minutes into this video but it makes me so happy. It feels like home 🥺 I can’t wait to see more of your 30th anniversary videos it’s so magical and emotional.

Hi Sam! It was so lovely spending some time with you and to have witnessed your reaction to the 30th anniversary irl ! Shout out for acknowledging what is happening in the world and to remind that people on the other side of the planet were not as lucky as we were this weekend…anyway had a lovely time by your side and can’t wait to meet you again🙏🏻😍 PS: I want more vlogs!!!!

We LOVE the 1 hour vlogs!!! seeing you so emotional made me emotional

Really enjoyed this insightful vlog and seeing how happy not just you but those around you were in one of the places where you leave your troubles outside. Look forward to the next one!

LOVE this Sam! It’s super emotional 😭 and you’ve done such a good job with it. The joy is shining through the screen x

Watching this as my daughter is actually there walking down the street , I feel like I’m with her very emotional 😭 great vlog thank you 😊

Parc Disneyland is looking GREAT! But still needs MORE RIDES

Thank you again, Sam, for let us all be part of the magic 💜 it is crazy on the one Hand to See everyone without masks beeing joyfull and so happy and on the other Hand it means so much seeing this, what was normal 3 years ago 😱💜 hope it will stay this way 😍❤️

OMG I'm getting so emotional by watching the fireworks

1 hour full of fun and joy! Thank you Sam ❤️

Seeing the pure joy on your face is wonderful

I am 8 minutes in and I’m already crying!!! I cannot wait to experience this myself!!! I literally squealed with excitement especially at the new show and hearing the music!!!! 😭🙌💕

WoW!! Such an amazing day you had Sam!! And Thank you for shared with us :) I can't wait to see all that magic "in person", fingers crossed for this Summer! Meanwhile... Can you tell me if all of the character´s meeting require the purchase of a special pass? Once again, thank you for your time and good energy! Looking forward to your next videos!

Fantastic vlog .. loved seeing all the 30th decor, snacks, shows etc and also how excited u are to be there.. wish I was there with u in person, but at least I can share it with you through your vlogs.. looking forward to the next updates ... 👍👍👍

Starting to get excited now!!!! Love the fact the things are starting to get back to normal ,especially with the meet n greets . Will definitely be giving Mickey a big overdue hug 💕

Wow! What an emotional vlog! Masks off, normal character meetings and the fabulous decor! 🥺 I want to be there so much! I absolutely love the Garden of Wonder... The Snow White with the seven little hats representing the dwarfs, so clever! And Baymax! Didn't see that one coming 😁 Fingers crossed that they'll keep it during Halloween and Christmas season ✨ "The world outside of Disney is awful". It really is. Thank you for the final thoughts at the end of the vlog. ✨

Was great meeting you in the stitch Q. Watched all your videos to get me updated with everything before going x

You have such a beautiful heart! Wonderful videos of the park. I was there the first week it opened in 92’ and going back to Paris in just a couple of weeks. I’m so excited! Your videos have me so hype! And love that you got to meet Minnie in a unique, fashionista outfit!

Loved this vlog Sam! Fantastic! Thanks for shining some love and fun in our lives. xx

Thank you for the video💕 Can’t way to go now on April 😆

The lines and the crowd does not compare with the ones here in Florida. It was absolutely insane but also beautiful. Stay safe. Thanks for your beautiful videos. Would like to visit Disneyland Paris someday.

Omg!!! We arrived on Monday..leaving tomorrow 😭 would have loved to meet u...it's totally amazing. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful vlog, had to skip the parade & fireworks don't want to spoil it for myself for our trip! , your words at the end made me shed a tear, the world is horrendous, I've been saving so hard to take my own children on their first trip to Disney, I wish every child could experience the magic & happiness. Take care Sam xx

The music during that little Cavalcade in the Studios!!! That was from magic kingdom in Orlando, “move it shake it celebrate it”!! My brother was in that parade once upon a time! That music just brought tears to my eyes!!

Hi Sam, This vlog is just so magical! I can't wait to see the parcs myself in a few weeks.😇

Totally understand why you felt emotional and appreciate your heart felt message! The fireworks are amazing... Taking my kids in may. It will be my first time back to Disney Paris for over 20 years!

Love the way the 30th anniversary is coming together! also I'm considering getting the Photopass+ and I just can't decide. I like the idea of having good quality pictures of our trip but I also don't know if there actually are a lot of photographers in the park at the moment or with the characters. What would you recommend ?

so excited to sit down and watch this video! wasn't sure if you were gonna be there for the opening celebrations or just the anniversary itself but so glad its at least this one! everything looks so good

Another wonderful video❤️ I loved the castle firework shows. Can’t wait to see them for myself.

I’m so excited to watch this later! I’ll be there exactly two weeks today so this video will really get me ready for my trip 🥰💜 I hope you had a wonderful time!

Sam, thank you so much for this vlog all of it. And also for sharing your heartfelt thoughts as to what’s going on around the world and in particularly Ukraine. We each find ways to take care of others, we might donate, volunteer or be an ally to a cause that we believe it. It’s also important to take care of ourselves. For me, its watching your vlogs, it’s actually one of my self care strategies. It’s ok to seek out and do things that bring us joy, it helps us fill our cup, so we can be present available to be there for others. So thank you for spreading the joy, and equally, thank you for speaking about the injustice of what’s happening in Ukraine 💛 💙

Wow..just met u at the castle. Thanks for saying hi. ☺️

The park looks amazing! The moving decorations are so unique! And it's great to see character interactions back; I hope they come back here soon too, since I'm going to WDW in May.

Your smile and happiness is so contagious. A few planning questions if you don't mind: Is there any time of viewing package for Illuminations? Is there mobile food ordering at Disneyland Paris? Also, magic bands? Is that a thing there?

Im going for the first time in October and your videos have been super helpful and im getting excited every day

This makes me so happy! I’ve only just got back home but I need to go back again asap! The shows were incredible and I straight up had to fight tears after I got to hug stitch again. The fact that masks are gone and hugging characters are back just makes me feel so freaking happy

Wow this is such a magical vlog. Made me very emotional. We are going in July for my daughter’s first Disney trip. We haven’t been to a Disney park for 6 years and not to dlp in 8 years. I am beyond excited. Thank you for such a good vlog, so detailed and amazing editing!

Only 10 minutes in and I’ve already teared up ! Can’t believe I’m going to be celebrating there in just over a month !!!

Oh my gosh is this beautiful 🤩 I mean smiling faces, a night time show, this new song 🎵, garden of wonders, the parade, cuddling characters and it’s heartbreaking 💔 to see such a dividing contrast to other parts of the world 🌎 we are one at least we should be. I really hope that life is going to be more fair and fun and beautiful for everyone one day. It’s important to be thankful for every beautiful moment because you never know if there is an other. Will be there around the actual birthday 🥳 fingers crossed 🤞

I am going back next weekend and this made me sooooo excited!!! I was already emotional watching your video, so I cannot imagine what'll be like when I'll actually be there again next week 🥺✨ I cannot wait to experience the 30th anniversary shows & snacks, see the fireworks again, and hug the characters! Thanks for the magical vlog Sam, cannot wait for the rest of your videos 🥰

this vlog made me even more excited for my trip next May! Thank you so much Sam! :D it all looks so magical and the new snacks are already making me hungryy...

This has made me so emotional 😂 roll on January 2023!! Thank you for another amazing vlog!! The message at the end of the vlog was so powerful, the world could just do better

Sam u look so lovely 😊. So very happy, your energy is infectious!

Fabulous video. I have been so looking forward to this. The parade looks so fantastic and I love the music to it . I really love the look of the Garden of Wonder, so cool. So glad you got to meet Minnie in her Stella McCartney outfit. The Illuminations looked stunning. It was so wonderful to see people having the best time not having to wear masks. The atmosphere was amazing, and the pure joy on your face was wonderful . I got very emotional watching this video, fabulous video and I very much look forward to the next one.

Sam it was such a pleasure to meet you. Bella was just buzzing all day. We'll maybe me to 😁. Your videos helped us keep the magic alive the last 2 years. I was so emotional during all the shows. Disney I felt are back in force. The energy level was so incredible. Bella is working on learning the lyrics and dance moves from the parade now 🤣. We are home now for a well needed rest. Xx

Hoping to celebrate my 30th birthday here in June! Hopefully the celebration will still be going on, as that would be perfect! Love, love, love this vlog ❤️pretty sure I’m gonna cry watching Disney Illuminations live.

Omg the queue for flora's and the 30th merch is crazy .... 🤪 think it's actually worse than crush.. half expecting a Premier access line to pop up in your next vlog 🤣

Hi it was great to see you on Tuesday 8th March when I was queuing for 30th March. Audrey from Birmingham!

Thanks so much for bringing us along Sam 😊 Not able to go to DLP this year for the 30th Anniversary sadly but really enjoyed experiencing the magic from afar watching your vlog, can't wait for more 30th Anniversary vlogs 😊

Amazing vlog as always! I'm so excited for the anniversary and the planning of the trip is awesome! The new parade and song are amazing......and the drones 😍😍😍😍

Hiii, I'm a new subscriber, next Thursday 7th April I'm going to Disneyland Paris for my birthday (8th April) my first visit to the parks! I find your videos very helpful. Thank you so much. 😁😁

So needed this after a rubbish week! I go in may for my 29th birthday and then again for October for my daughters 8th birthday! What a year 🥰

Great vlog 👍🏻 the parade looks amazing!! Thanks Sam 😄

The night-time show had me tearing up too and I'm not even there yet! I am going to be an absolute mess 🙃 I love it all,its a very 90s vibe,and the castle changing colours reminds me of the fairies "make it pink,make it blue!"

Amazing vlog! As always. Thankyou! Made me even more excited for my trip in 11 days! X

I'm getting excited!! And that fireworkshow made me a bit emotional.. can't wait to get there on monday!😁

Ahhh I’m so excited! I’m going next month! That music at the beginning is hyping me up so much! Let’s hope, 3rd time lucky! Love your videos Sam x

Hi Sam , Wow Wow Wow!!! Right from the start with the beautiful decor at the entrance, everything looks so amazing! That incredible show makes me very teary eyed, its vibrant, fun & makes you feel pure joy! :) Loving all the spinning art characters! Am so pleased that you felt so comfortable without wearing a mask, you were so at ease which is the most important thing :) And seeing smiles is a very special thing! I adore Minnie's trouser suit, its stunning - so thrilled you met her! Oh wow those night time shows are just spectacular :) x

Oh Sam I loved this video…you know what I loved the most…to see you so happy and smiling from ear to ear. Also as someone with hearing difficulties it was so much better to hear you without your mask,although you were quite good with it on… We’re getting so excited now …..13 weeks to go.. Tomorrow we’re booking our meal plans and I believe in April character breakfasts will be back. So glad no masks and also no tests required now either,proper meet and greets fabulous. Are they going to keep the decorations up all year,do you know? Would love to see the entrance/ exit and gazebo decorated. I really hope your there when we are,it would be lovely to see you…. Love that castle too. Your right to reflect on situations going on…when I’m happy atm I feel a bit guilty but hopefully things will be better for everyone 🇺🇦 Thanks SOs much for this awesome video….👍🇬🇧

Hi Sam! I’ll be going for the first time to Disneyland Paris in two weeks! You’ve got me all excited with this video. Hopefully I get to meet you then 😊

Hope to see you there in more future planned visits

Just sat and watched the parade is incredible

What a lovely vlog! Everything just looks so beautiful 😍😍 and totally get what you said at the end about wishing there was no war in the world, it’s hard to believe that things like that still go on. If the world was like a Disney park, it would be a better place that’s for sure.

The one next to tiana is Belle :) they’re stunning x

Thank you for sharing this. I wanted to go this year but with surgery and cancertreatments I wont be able to. Felt like I was there with you 💕
