Indeed....

NLUK moving up market?

How do you know that it's far better if you've not been in 15 years?

It's the general opinion of people I know who've recently been to both. HTH.

For those of you who've done Florida and Paris - lets just say it is "slightly" different.

Indeed....

Superficial cover is adequate around cretins like PC. All their energy is consumed by simple tasks, like cheating taxpayers. PC has no energy for more complex activities, like masking his cretinism.

Yes yes very impressive comments JB. Im sure they'll let you in the gang now.

Regular to florida but 2nd visit to DLP. Probably I'd say in Paris

5% were very good.
95% just could not be arsed

Rented a flat too and that was a nightmare. It seems the CBA attitude prevails everywhere. We had a document with directions etc (how to get in carpark, how to use lift key etc, how to find flat). All half-arsed even if it had been a perfect translation. It was just apparent that whoever had did them just could not be bothered to do it properly.

We ended up having to phone the office - flat had no number on the door so after trying the key in about 10 doors we were scuppered. Agency person who came out just could not be arsed. Didnt seem to understand that yes he knew which door it was but if there was no number no bugger else would. Turns out they'd given us wrong keys as well.

No wonder the buggers needed helping out in the war....

Yes food awful and expensive. 5E pretty much for a coke which is a bit much.

Depends is that for a gram, if so not really that bad price wise

Thought it was mainly just legs it cost?

I have been on the Smiler since the accident - completely changed the car layout so that won't happen again.....

probably going again - kids have a 'baker' day (showing my age) on about 27th September so we go to the hotel stay overnight and get the early hours - and also as it is a weekday very few queues.

Looking forward to the Wicker man this year.

At least it was a baker day rather than a butcher day

Always good to go out of main term time. Had a nice trip to Legoland a couple of years ago with the kids before the English school holidays started. Tayto Park this year.

Wouldn't bother with Alton Towers, costs an arm and a leg.

Boom! Someone's had their weetabix this morning

I went about 15 years ago - it was terrible then, but at least you could get a beer.

Europaland at Rust in Germany is far better in terms of rides, food and drink. Shame that the Scandanavia section burned down recently.

Went to Paris Disneyland with kids about 30 years ago. Mainly remember huge queues that went round in circles.

Must have been the very early days when it was Euro Disney - it's only been open 26 years (I was at the 25th birthday party last year)

Though they tend to celebrate the same birthday a lot - the 15th anniversary ran for 3 years.

The most disappointing thing about DL Paris I found when I last went was that the food was terrible.....

In France, every day is a holiday, somewhere
