Family Holiday

[TheBigYinJames]

Last year I went with wife and kid to Eurodisney.
I think I made it clear that I did not enjoy it too much.

To give the US versions of the parks some defence.... Eurodisney is populated by angry Germans, Italians and French, and all manner of disenchanted European students working for crap pay in piss-poor weather. The on-site hotels are more like Stalags, there's nothing else to do apart from the parks themselves. We once went out a drive into the surrounding (beautiful) countryside, and the guard on the gate looked at us as if we were mad.. go... outside?

At least with the US versions, you generally get the weather and the cheaper exchange rate, and if you don't want to do the parks, there's loads of other things to do.

I agree. That is why I came up with my great solution to the problem.

And they do really love it. The US parks do have their amusing points for adults:

1. Not standing up for the US National Anthem at Seaworld, I make a point of doing this. It's niot my anthem. If they want to exclude Brits from the greencard lottery, they can whistle theirn own anthem.

2. Bringing in your own food. They always search your bag nowadays, and it's fun to have loads of food in there, since they make a huge markup ont he piss-poor food they shovel up.

3. Watching the 400lb Disneypeople, they walk funny. You shouldn't laugh it's a disease.

4. looking out for a 'Disney Death' - a "code yellow" or whatever they call it these days. Nobody dies at Disney. They move the body offsite befoer allowing death to be declared. Allegedly

Wouldn't children actually enjoy something more, like an adventure holiday with other children in the great outdoors? Sports, boats, nature reserves etc?

It's Disney's way of making all races and cultures feel honoured to be represented by the same little annoying munchkins of varying hues. I wonder if anyone's ever drowned themselves in despair on that ride.

Are you going to go here for a meal?

No. Unless It's some sort of ride where I can take a gun.
