So we’re back from Disneyland Paris and I’ve finally gotten time to blog about it. Bug *loved* it which is the main thing but otherwise it was a huge disappointment.
It’s not a patch on the Orlando park, which is run wonderfully. Disneyland Paris suffered from the following:
1. Lack of Magic - where were the fireworks and the theatrical cast members? No where to be found
2. Rude Staff - they really couldn’t give a crap. We had the *worst* serving people at the resturants, just awful.
3. Cleanliness - the 2 minute rule just doesn’t seem to apply at the Paris park - there was an open packet of bacon (?!?) lying on the floor with people slipping on it near the dumbo ride and it was there a good 45 minutes before it was picked up - disgusting!
4 European teenagers……I *never* thought I’d say just how wonderful British teenagers are!!! There seemed to be gangs of 16-19 year olds European kids wandering the park unsupervised by their teachers (they were obviously on school trips). Fighting, pushing small kids over, queue steaming - generally pissing off every Brit in the park. In Florida they would have had their asses kicked out, but there wasn’t any Disney security in sight.
5. Food prices were horrendous nearly 100 Euros for an evening meal at a resturant, it would have been a third of that in Florida.
So despite Bug loving it (Buzzlightyear and Pirates being the *coolest* apparently!), I think we’re just going to save up and go to Florida next time. We’ve worked it out and it would have only been about £300 more to go there for 2 weeks.
