About Mickey From The UK

A Disney Parks news and travel resource for UK visitors - covering Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Store and UK Travel.

Mickey From The UK is a UK Disney Parks news and travel resource founded in 2017 by Ash Hales. It was created to address the lack of websites and resources that focused on Disney Parks content from a British perspective. Before creating Mickey From The UK, I regularly followed Disney Parks news due to my love of the parks - I've been visiting Disney Parks for nearly three decades, starting with Disneyland Paris in 1997 and Walt Disney World in 2007 - but found it frustrating to sift through content that included offers only for US guests, Disney products exclusively sold in the US, and Florida resident ticket discounts. I wanted to stay updated on both Disney Parks news and travel news related to Orlando from the UK, but the volume of unrelated content made it increasingly time-consuming to sift through.

How Mickey From The UK Started

I thought I couldn't be the only British Disney Parks enthusiast who wanted to stay updated with Disney Parks news and content without all the US-specific information. As a web developer by day, I created Mickey From The UK myself and started growing the community in 2017. I published our first article, "Welcome To Mickey From The UK - A Disney Blog For UK Guests", on 2nd March 2017, and have been publishing Disney news, guides and reviews ever since.

My goal was to create a resource and community that would help people make the most of their Disney holidays. A Disney holiday is an exciting and expensive endeavour that requires quite a bit of planning these days, and I share news, advice, guides, and reviews about things I wish I knew earlier so you can have the best time possible.

What We Cover

The website has evolved over the years, but Mickey From The UK initially focused on Walt Disney World in the early days. Since the early 2020s, I've expanded the content to include Disneyland® Paris, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Store. I focus on sharing the important news and experiences related to Disney Parks and UK travel that are relevant to British Disney Parks fans, as well as sharing my own reviews and experiences.

Every article on this site is published and fact-checked by me personally. Wherever a story affects British visitors differently, I add the detail, whether that's flight routes, GBP pricing, UK booking options or how a change actually affects a UK trip. Some stories are worth covering simply because they're relevant to Disney fans regardless of nationality, but the site's focus stays on what matters for UK guests. You can read more about how I approach coverage on our editorial policy page or contact us for more details.
