I spent a few days in Paris last week and this was as close as I got to DLRP...

Not to mention the pink double decker buses decked out with Disney characters and mocking "35 minutes away" signage :evil: . The first time I saw one of the buses, I started running after it without even realizing what I was doing (Disney nerd instinct I guess). After that, my friends had to make sure to hold me back when they saw a DLRP bus coming.

Has anyone else ever been "35 minutes away" from a Disney park, but not visited it? Sheer torture... :shock:



(Actually, I'm just joking. :lol: I'm kind of glad I didn't waste my time visiting DLRP on my first trip to Paris... but I will have to go back someday :wink: )

edit... by the way, are there any French speakers here that can tell me what the sign says? Something about kids? :?:

There was also another one that said "12 ans", shouldn't it have said "15 ans"? :? :lol:

Ugh, I feel your pain. It's right there, taunting you, and it makes you just want to scream.

Aside from that, I hope you had a wonderful time in Paris! :)

Yeah, at least you had Paris as a consolation prize for being taunted by the park.

Literal translation of the sign in your picture is "Free for Children".

Right now DLRP are offering kids-go-free offers for holidays at DLRP, which is what the sign is saying.

I worked down the street from Disneyland for a while in the '90's and driving by the marquee every day was torture.
