What was the problem mate? Never been myself but the wife knows some people who have been and said it was ok!

to be honest the park was fine but we stayed in a disney hotel which was more like a hostel, for a place designed to entertain children the staff who work there just have no patience with them and even in the park they are really arrogant. i guess i was expecting it to be as good as florida. i m not having a go at the french but they really are letting the disney image down... on the plus side my 2 year old met minnie mouse and wont stop going on about it!!!

It's the frogs. Those wine-guzzling, cheese-eating surrender monkeys could fuck anything up. Being near Paris makes them twice as miserable. Bastards.

im off to disney in california next year for the 2nd time but this time i'll be taking my son for his 5 birthday cant fault it really food/drinks are sky high prices, the hotels are dearer than anywhere else in california (but i'll only be staying at disney 1 night)

i looked at euro disney and couldnt believe the prices tbh, i would much rather go to the states

I went Euro Disney the very first year it opened!! TBH i remember buying a toy car on the way there more than the trip itself

Have been Florida a few times and its amazing, cant compare cos i cant rmember Euro but the parents said Florida is 100 times better!!

Me Dads mate jus booked to take his grandchildren to Euro disney end of the month, 3 adults, 3 kids, £1500 for 3 nights 3 days, £800 on the Euro star, and thats without food!! Would nearly have been cheaper to go to Florida!!

I got back a few weeks ago, stayed in the NewYork hotel which was fine, the parks were all good and my kids enjoyed it 100%.

PROBLEMS - The french are arrogant lazy worthless shits, everyone we met including disney staff were a total waste of space.
Smoking everywhere inside the parks which I think shouldn't be allowed.

Apart from that it was ok. Once my kids are old enough we will be going to the USA parks as they are IMO the REAL disney.

I've been and wasnt very impressed. I didnt feel any 'magic' which I had expected. I thought it would take me back to my childhood but nothing!

It took 2 hours to queue for each ride and I just didnt find it very good.

I think the real Disney would be 10 times better

Ive been a few times and every time i've given it the benefit of the doubt, will never go back again, queing it awful (florida one is nothing like this and I been there 9 times!!), the french are arrogant, staff are unhelpful, full of rude europeans who havent grasped the concept of queing, restaurants are horrendously expensive for crap food, and as someone said above the hotel was like a hostel and the hotel bar was again a rip off. Rant over!!

Dani P - dont be put off going to the 'real' Disney, its a billion times better!!

its just the staff that spoil it, they seem to forget that by being there you re paying there wages !!!! all they have to do is be pleasant. in florida its all happy happy happy and when kids are on holiday surely thats how it should be.

We went this time 2 years ago, kids loved it, didnt have any probs, but we did buy a 3 day pass and fast pass ride tickets which means free parking and no queing. We didnt stay in the hotels as silly money.

It wasnt as expensive as I thought and We did buy some meals in the site,we also took our own food and drinks in (hidden in the kids bags).

We thought it was closed when we arrived at 10.00 am

We got the euro star there which drops u right there. All in all me and the wife had great time but we havent got kids. Is florida a lot better then?would love to go one day

From my experience, no point going to Euro Disney unless its a really hot day or snowing. Its awsome during those times. But in regards to the staff at the main park hotels, gotta agree that they lack patience.....and yes, Mickey lives in Florida!

been twice,dissapointed with the pushing in at the ques,so second time around ,ended up grabbin some weaseling french cnut,by the neck an threatning to rip him into,if him and his pal forced past me and my 7yr old again,was with bro in law ,pre warned him of the sneaky pushing in front of you,and he ended up with a similar attitude after two days of it,stunt shows are good,wee one s get more attention in the park if they are in disney attire,buy on e-bay prior to ur trip,or hand over mega bucks for the same when you are there.food ntypes get a bit monotonous,done the wild bill thing too,ok, my missis got mistaken for cameron diaz at planet hollywood.its ok but not usa
