I have to say this video makes me so emotional cause I cannot believe she is already 7. At the end of 2025 my daughter is turning 7 and it just blows my mind how fast time is flying by.
What a wonderful way to start a year with one of your vlogs... nade me so happy. Such a nice surprise and River is sooooo well behaved... Loves every minute of it. Happy New Year and hopwfully to many morw vlogs ❤
Happy Belated Birthday, River! This is so fun to watch Fleur, I share your excitement as you surprise River, truly heart-melting. ❤ Thank you for keeping the “tradition” of what I got for Christmas because I am one of those who enjoy watching yours. Especially now that we are in the same phase of life. I get excited about home stuff. 😅 P.S. Both you and Mike are slooowly aging and fine! Always love MDF‘s chatter 😅. Happy New Year from Germany! 🎉
Awww, how lovely and magical! Glad River had an amazing birthday! When big companies sponsor these trips or give heavy discounts, I'd love to see more influencers give back to those less fortunate, maybe surprising another family with tickets too. ❤
I am so glad your vlogging consistently for us! You are the comfort that I needed and I love seeing your adventures or even just vlogs at home ❤ thank you 😊
Well said. Fleur was the first You Tube creator I followed in 2013. She will always remain my favorite and I love it when they share. It is so hard to believe how many years have gone by!
What a special surprise and trip to Disneyland Paris. River is such a thoughtful little girl with such a precious Christmas gift for you. Maybe not quite so 'precious' but I bought my whole family the water bottle ice cube trays as a little stocking filler as recommended by MDF in the stocking filler gift guide. Everyone was very impressed. Such a good idea.
I agree Ratatouille is such an underrated Disney film its such a great movie, the restaurant looked so good, what a fabulous 7th birthday River 🎉. Beautiful Christmas gifts, the waistcoat especially gorgeous ❤
What a wonderful surprise! I was so much like River at that age- waking up all night long waiting to open presents ❤ You and your friend have the same good taste!
I was there last weekend with my husband (first time for him, 2nd time for me). We really were so surprised with the shows, I had no idea they were so good! The Lion King was our favorite, but Together was also so good! For the last one, we were sitting next to a couple with a little girl, around 2yo I would say, she was so amazed and blowned away, it made it even better and made us excited to enjoy Disney with kids one day ❤
You guys are my favourite people on RUclips !! 😍 We love Disney too and the Ratatouille ride is the best for us ! We had plenty of chocolate strawberries on a stick when we were there in December - despite me having a cold too as it was freezing there we still had a fab time 🎉 thanks so much for sharing , lots of love to you all and here’s to a fabulous 2025 xxx
What a great birthday gift for River ❤ thank you for letting us come with you and your beautiful family🤗 Could you please let us know where your pj’s are from ? I just love it 🥰
What a lovely birthday gift for River. You looked like you all just had the best time 🥰 what wonderful memories! There is nothing like it when you see your children so excited and happy like that ❤ On a different note, I too am a leopard print fan. It is a neutral for me, so a win it’s been everywhere in 2024. I also received those slippers and I can confirm they are so lush… I love them! 😍
What a lovely way to spend your 7 th Birthday 🎉 River Reaction was just so sweet . Plu to have some characters say Happy Birthday to,her just extra special 😜.. Love the waist coat such a Pretty colour 😍.
I'm an OG follower and it's pretty cool that I have a 5 year old daughter and a 9 month old son. So much of your content is so relatable. :) Always so fun. :)
Thank you! Good question! Enzo didn't nap on the first day when we were traveling, so dinnertime (7pm-8.30pm) was quite hard work... however on the second and third day he did nap - he fell asleep at the end of the Mikey Magician show (in mikes arms!) and we managed to transfer him to the buggy where he slept for about an hour and a half walking around... and then he fell asleep as we were getting on the train to go home (soooo lucky!) in his buggy, and woke up 20 mins before we got into St Pancras. Bedtimes were later than normal (about 8.30/9pm for Enzo, he usually goes down at 7.30 so this was late for him but the excitement kept him going!) He missed the fireworks sadly as they were at 10pm... River managed them on the second day but was so exhausted, she was asleep before her head hit the pillow when we got back to the hotel! Hope that helps! It's definitely a lot when they are very small, I think 7-8 is the peak age to take them to be honest, but with the age gap, we thought this year was a good one to go all together! Hoping to take them to Florida in a few years when Enzo's a bit bigger but River's still young enough to be super excited for it!
Happy New Year! What a great trip! If you go back to DLP whilst Enzo is not quite tall enough to go on some of the rides, you can also ask to do rider swap so both you and Mike get to ride (if you want to!)
My niece has a yearcard for Eurodisney Paris. Do you know there is an app for Eurodisney that tells you how busy it is and how long the waiting time is for the different attractions? And it's quite accurate. Só handy! ❤
I stayed there for Halloween! I was underwhelmed by the renovation tbh, was expecting better for the rooms, considering how long the renovation took. But other than that, we had a great time as always. Love Disney ❤
I love love love this vlog. So winderful! I have never really been a big Disney park person, as up until lately, i really so bad do rides, but more and more I really want to go to the parks in Orlando and in Paris. I was at a conference back in 2008, where I stayed at the hotel right across from the exit. However, the fires in Anaheim/LA were just so bad that we were warned not to go out if we had any asthma/allergies. I was on the concierge floor of the hotel since I was in leadership for the group (Children and Adults with ADHD/International conference) and literally all i could see out my window was the very tip top of Space Mountain. I had been there fir 8 days, when i could finally go out. I went to DowntTown Dsney after dark,but in the afternoon, I went out to dinner and saw Casino Royale in IMAX. I ate dinner and shopped in the DownTown Disney shops. My shopping bug got the better of me, and i had to have stuff shipped to me since I wasnt going to be able to take it all on the plane...yes, bought too much fun stuff. Anyway, it wasn't so bad, as i had to have things shipped that we had compiled and gotten for the leadership library...but that was the extent of Disney for me. But lately, i just really want to go...and seeing the fun you had just made the "want to" bigger...lol! Happy New Year to you and MDF as well as your mum and your amazing kids. (If you are ever in the mood for time at the Outer Banks of NC, look me up. I live near there and you would be very welcome to visit. Plus, at Christmas, Busch Gardes in Williamsburg, VA, about 2 hours from me, does an amazing Christmastowne.) ..
I really appreciate your commitment to vlogging even without the kids faces. truly is a skill so thank you!
Happy Birthday River.
I have to say this video makes me so emotional cause I cannot believe she is already 7. At the end of 2025 my daughter is turning 7 and it just blows my mind how fast time is flying by.
You parent beautifully. With conscience and incite and vision for children to be grateful respectful fun loving and happy xxx
Thank you.- that's the ultimate compliment :) xxx
I love how River woke Enzo up! That warmed my heart! Happy birthday, River! Good job, Mike and Fleur! That's some hard work! ♡
This is so utterly joyful! You're making memories with the kids that they'll treasure for a lifetime
I almost burst into tears hearing her waking Enzo up to go! Huge Disney fan and pregnant mama, up in here!
River is so sweet. She reminds me so much of my 6 year old. Happy Birthday, River!
Aw I'm so happy you all enjoyed the trip, especially River! She's adorable. And that hotel is gorgeous!!

The amount of joy I get from your videos is just the best! Crazy that river is 7! So happy for you and the fam ❤
Awww, how lovely and magical! Glad River had an amazing birthday!
When big companies sponsor these trips or give heavy discounts, I'd love to see more influencers give back to those less fortunate, maybe surprising another family with tickets too. ❤

My heart melts!! Such a beautiful family. It’s crazy to think, I’ve been watching since the boyfriend video. So happy for all of you.
omg i nearly cryed at the reaction, too cute! :)
I rewatched it about 50x over editing it! :) :) :) Best moment
i didnt think i could ever be influenced into wanting to go to disneyland but you've made it seem so magical 😭
Don't go very underwhelming. It has gone down a lot, they don't invest anymore.
no youre crying! magical vlog x
Omg River’s delayed reaction to her gift was so cute! I can’t believe she’s seven now, I feel like you just had her!
I know!!! I think she was in shock!
This was so lovely and heart warming to watch! 🥰💗
Thank you! :)
Thank you for including us! So happy your vlogs are back 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Riv is the sweetest!
Ah thank you :)
Well said. Fleur was the first You Tube creator I followed in 2013. She will always remain my favorite and I love it when they share. It is so hard to believe how many years have gone by!

Thank you!
Such a lovely video! I can’t believe River is seven! Thanks for taking us along to Disneyland Paris!❤❤❤
It's the attention to detail that makes the Disney parks so good. I'm surprised you didn't know how good the shows are - any we went to were amazing.
What a wonderful surprise! I was so much like River at that age- waking up all night long waiting to open presents ❤ You and your friend have the same good taste!

On a different note, I too am a leopard print fan. It is a neutral for me, so a win it’s been everywhere in 2024. I also received those slippers and I can confirm they are so lush… I love them! 😍
Just nothing better than seeing their little faces :)
Loved this, what a magical experience and memories.

We were also in Disneyland Paris at the same time as you so it’s like reliving our trip too ✨🥰🐭
Ah, hope you had the most amazing time!
Loved this!❤
So much fun 🎉
Taking my twin girls to Disneyland California their whole childhood was hands down the happiest time of my life 🤗😁☺️
I never got it before having children of my own... but now it's top on my list of places to visit!
I'm an OG follower and it's pretty cool that I have a 5 year old daughter and a 9 month old son. So much of your content is so relatable. :) Always so fun. :)
Ah thank you so much! :)
Happy new year Fleur! Disney looked like so much one the Hotel looks really nice too
I’m beyond emosh, how is she 7😮🤯 woah time has gone too fast! All your baby videos before she was born😭happiest late birthday riv!🎉🎂🥳🎁🎈
Happy New Year!!💕💕💕💕✨
Thanks Fleur, I absolutely love your vlogs!! How did Enzo get on at Disney Land? Was it manageable for you guys with naps and bedtimes?
Thank you! Good question! Enzo didn't nap on the first day when we were traveling, so dinnertime (7pm-8.30pm) was quite hard work... however on the second and third day he did nap - he fell asleep at the end of the Mikey Magician show (in mikes arms!) and we managed to transfer him to the buggy where he slept for about an hour and a half walking around... and then he fell asleep as we were getting on the train to go home (soooo lucky!) in his buggy, and woke up 20 mins before we got into St Pancras.

❤ thank you! This is super helpful. I have a 1 and 5 year old so I might wait for a bit. But good to know! Xxx
So fun. Special memories 🥰
Happy new year!!! 💓💓💓
Ah I went the same time! Can’t believe I didn’t see you ! But it was very busy!!
Happy New Year! What a great trip! If you go back to DLP whilst Enzo is not quite tall enough to go on some of the rides, you can also ask to do rider swap so both you and Mike get to ride (if you want to!)
We heard about this but weren't really sure how it worked!
My niece has a yearcard for Eurodisney Paris. Do you know there is an app for Eurodisney that tells you how busy it is and how long the waiting time is for the different attractions? And it's quite accurate. Só handy! ❤
Yes - the app is actually brilliant! We used it a lot to plan our days, especially last time which was the first time we went :)
Beautiful Fleur.Xx 😘
I stayed there for Halloween! I was underwhelmed by the renovation tbh, was expecting better for the rooms, considering how long the renovation took. But other than that, we had a great time as always. Love Disney ❤
So much fun 🎉❤

..
I really didn't do big rides, is what that lame sentence is supposed to say...ugh
..typing on my phone is just a pain sometimes.
Awww thank you for vlogging this ❤ Such a special one! Happy birthday to her. Seems like you were just pregnant with her haha!
I know right - time FLIES! :D
