But there is more than the famous Disney magic that draws them to the theme park - daughter Emma, 21, is oen of the resort's main attractions.

And soon the couple will be jetting off to the other side of the world to watch Emma in the Disney parade as their very own Sleeping Beauty has landed a job at Disneyland near Tokyo.

Emma has spent nearly two years laying the fairytale character during which time her mum, 40, and dad, 42, have visited whenever they could.

Barbara, 40, of Hamshaw Terrace, Bentley, said: "I could stand on Main Street in Disneyland and watch Emma in the parade all day - every time is like the first time as far as I'm concerned.

"I've been about 30 times, including three weeks in a row last November. We must be Disney's biggest fans."

Since former Don Valley School pupil Emma won the role in 2006, Barbara has made the trip to see her daughter perform with the other Disney characters around once a month. It is not just Barbara and dad Richard, 42, who have travelled to see Emma. Sister Leanne, 23, and her partner Craig Linley, 26, have also made the trip, and their daughter Ellie celebrated her first birthday in Paris.

"Now she is going to Tokyo we've been planning flights to go and see her there," said Barbara. "We won't miss the opportunity.

Before Emma sets off for the Far East for her seven month contract she will first take a holiday with her family to relax - at Disneyworld, Florida!
