I voted for Hong Kong, believe it or not. (I went to EuroDisney in 1992, Tokyo in 1997, and HK in 2007). Even though Hong Kong has very few attractions, I really liked it for two reasons:

1) I went in the beginning of July, and there were practically no long lines! The longest line was 10 minutes, and that was for Autopia. Space Mountain had no line and was running empty cars, and I went on it 11 times in a row! And this was during the summer season! You wouldn’t find that at any of the other parks.

2) Most of the guests were there for the first time, and it was so much fun to see their reaction. Like Mickey’s Philharmagic, it seemed like most of the guests had never seen a 3D movie before. Some didn’t even know what the glasses were for and didn’t know what to expect. Then, when the first 3D image came on the screen, the guests were totally amazed, started laughing and jumping up and down. That was fun.

So .... I've never been to any of the Disney Parks besides DL (the original) but I would put my vote in for the Japanese Parks. Japanese people are so much cooler than French I've had exchange students from both countries stay at my house and the Japanese ones were always way more fun!
I do stuff sometimes.

I am going to Paris in May and can't decide whether or not to go to DLP. I've been to WDW and DL many times and am very curious about this one...any suggestions?

I would be very curious to know if English is spoken throughout the park in Hong Kong.

I also have never been to a Disney park outside the US. I have had occasion to travel (business) to both Japan and Paris, and met people leaving the parks (obvious due to the giant plastic Disney Parks shopping bags :wink: ). While some had only been to their "local park," others who had visited multiple places seemed to agree generally that Tokyo was far-and-away the most impressive.

I hope one day to validate that claim with first-hand evidence! :D

Yes, English is spoken throughout the park. Hong Kong was once a British territory, and the cast members speak both English and Chinese.

The Jungle Cruise has three lines, and you choose the one you want so that the skipper will speak your language (English, Mandarin, or Cantonese). See the photo below.

The safety spiels and signs are in all three languages.

The Stitch Encounter show (very similar to Turtle Talk) is divided up during the day according to language - the morning was Chinese and then it was switched to English in the afternoon.

They had a stage show called Golden Mickey's that was in Chinese but had large screens with English subtitles.

Mickey's Philharmonic was identical to WDW and only in English.

Awesome pic cap396! Helps us to actually see what's going on instead of visualizing it in our heads. I voted that I've never been outside the park but I have heard from CM's that Tokyo is a stunningly beautiful park

No opinion.... just been to WDW.

Though a CM I worked with from Hong Kong said their WDW isn't worth paying price of admission to go. They don't have a HM.... come on. ;)

I think it would be awesome to visit one of the Disney parks outside of the U.S. one day! But for now, my heart belongs to WDW, the only one I've ever visited. I would love to visit DL someday too!
