Welcome To Mickey From The UK: Quick Navigation

How Mickey From The UK Started

Mickey From The UK was created to address the lack of websites and resources that focused on Disney Parks content from a British perspective. Before starting the site, I regularly followed Disney Parks news but found it frustrating to sift through content aimed at US guests - offers I couldn't use, products only sold on the US Disney Store, and Florida resident ticket discounts that didn't apply to us. I wanted a resource that stayed on top of Disney Parks and Orlando travel news specifically for UK guests, so I built one myself.

What We Cover

We're a Disney Parks fan and information blog for residents of the United Kingdom. We cover Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris and Disney Cruise Line, sharing our own experiences alongside Disney Parks news that's relevant to British guests. The goal has always been the same since day one - a comprehensive site filled with helpful information to help UK guests have the best time at the parks.

You can read more about the site, and the person behind it, on our About page and author profile.
