Seen as i live in England get the train or car isn't really an option. Unfortunately its 9 hour flight with that rotten airplane food! Still its well worth it once you get there!

I always find it amusing listen to Christmas music in BB whilst sunbathng and eating and ice cream in the middle of the summer hols. BB definately has the better rides as well. Having said that it really depends on what you want from a water park. If you just want action and the rides then definatel...

Just have to go with the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Theres something special about waking up at looking at the giraffes outside your window. Its especially good when you arrive and Disney give you a free room upgrade!
It also has one on the best restaurants in WDW. I just cant get enough of BOMA!

Reading some of the above posts i actually feel quite sorry for those of you who haven't seen the Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris! It is by far the best. They really learnt from the previous versions about what works and what doesn't. They kept all the good bits from the other rides and then fille...

Ahhh! Thats such a difficult question! Really it depends on how i feel at the time. I love them all, but if you've just eaten Tower of Terror is definately not the best idea!

FQ is a nice resort, but my favorite still remains the Port Orleans Riveside, i.e. the good old Dixie Landings. Having said that All 3 CBR included are in someways nicer than the Delux resorts i have stayed at. The moderate resorts like these are much quieter and more peaceful, which after a hectic ...

I been to DLP around 10-15 times now (lost count exactly!) and WDW 6 times along with California once. The rides in the Magic Kingdom are definately better in Paris. Space mountain in Paris is 1000 times better than the Florida version. Pirates, Thunder Mountain and the Haunted Mansion are also much...

The lodge at AKL is undoughtedly good, but if you just want to relax and sleep or read a book round the pool so that you're wide awake for the fireworks later, you cant beat the little pools found at the Port Orleans Riverside!

They are all really good, but there is something about Fantasmic. Maybe its because it has something of a story-line unlike the others. Theres definately something about it. Its the first show i want to see the day i arrive, and the last one i watch before i leave!

I love the stunt show, but i saw it in Paris first and was disappointed that they missed my favorite bit out of the Floida version. In the Paris one the motorcyclist does a wheelie along the raised side of the bridge, which made for a great photo oppourtunity. Maybe they sometimes do it in Florida, ...

I reckon the Keys to the Kingdom tour is one of the best kept secrets. It seems that very few people do the tour, yet its amazing to see what goes on backstage. To see how the emergancy exit routes in the haunted mansion were themed so that is a child got scared and came off the ride early they didn...

Stitch's great escape is much better than i thought it would be. It set back when stitch was evil so still retains some of the scare factor that Alien encounter had, though obviously not as much. The seeting with the alien in the middle is much the same, as is the fact that the alien escapes, the li...

Unfortunately I’ve only been 6 times, but since I live in England it is rather a long way to travel. If you include the other Disney’s, my count rises to over 20. It may not be as big, but Disneyland Paris is much more convenient.
