Anti-Trip Report

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

. 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...

(Actually, I'm just joking.

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

)

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"?

oh, i hate that torture, especially if i'm passing by amusement parks on the freeway. i always look over to stare at it, wishing i were there.

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.
