I went to Disneyland Paris in 2016 for 2 days with my wife and paid £135 for 2 days 2 park tickets off peak in November
Then her sister wanted to go again in 2023 for her 40th birthday. For me and my wife for 3 days 2 parks it cost £532 tbf that was in the October holidays so probably more of a peak time. With my 4 year old also costing £245 I ended up spending £777 on tickets for 3 days!
We really enjoyed it both times but I probably wouldn't go back to Paris again unless they make some big changes.
The original park is fantastic but it has barely changed in 20 years and it doesn't look like they plan on doing anything soon.
The studios park was always a bit shit in comparison but it has a couple of fun rollercoasters and some really good shows. There was a new Avengers area but it was nothing special and a new Spiderman ride which was like a shit arcade game on wheels. Apparently they are completely revamping the park and building a new Frozen area but I am not expecting much.
The food was expensive and shit and they charge silly prices for souvenirs and toys like €30 for bubble wand.
In comparison before my eldest started school we thought we would make the most of the opportunity to go to theme parks in off peak times and spent £350 on Merlin Passes for a year for the whole family. That has covered us for tickets to Legoland twice, Alton Towers for two days, Chessington twice, two visits to Sea Life, one trip to Warwick Castle and I plan on going to Thorpe Park soon (without the kids) to go on Hyperia. Similar to Disney the prices for food and gifts are silly (even with the passes 20% discount) and the food is shit.
Rides are as good or better than Disney but they don't have that same level of detail and theming nor do they have fireworks and parades everyday. The kids shows they do have are pretty good though.
Another thing I would give Disney over the Merlin parks in terms of value is it does stay open till like 11pm when these all shut at 5pm

I am sure I will have to take my daughter once.. but shit.. If she doesn't have the time of her life, I will regret it again. lol
Tokyo Disney is supposed to be the best Disney tho. It's not operated by Disney just licensed to a third party company.
i will go there next year to check it out probably.

Been getting the kids hyped on Incredicoaster so I can start doing passes to Knotts.

Is the Silver Star still there?
Going to Alton Towers for two days just before Halloween, interested to see how the new Ride Access Pass works. As far as I can tell it's shorter queues but you don't get to wing it anymore since you have your slots pre-arranged like a fast track.
By Hitch Go To PostI went there when I was a kid. Is the Silver Star still there?yeah, it's still the best ride.
i haven't tried the newest one which is supposed to be good.
By DiPro Go To PostTokyo Disney is supposed to be the best Disney tho. It's not operated by Disney just licensed to a third party company.The license ensures that it is ran like all Disney parks are ran.. and was designed by Disney. It's like McDonald's

Disney basically runs it. They even got to finally sell their stores back to them.
And still was a horrible experience. The only saving grace was I was in Japan and not Cali when I left.
By Pac-2 Go To PostLet us know if you need help getting you and Mrs. Fender back into club 33.She has two kidneys, so that's two tries.
My kid’s mom used to take him to Disneyland every month and he absolutely hated it

Is it worth going to any of the Disney parks for the rides if you have no interest in the franchise and theming?
By blackace Go To PostThey license ensures that it is ran like all Disney parks are ran.. and was designed by Disney. It's like McDonald'sdid you go to DisneySea tho? that's supposed to be the good with 100% original stuff. the other one is just a copy from cali. i will see for myself, i'm sure i like it.

Not sure about other parks, but the new coasters are fun. The theming is the reason it's so expensive. The parks are clean and well ran. Locally, knotts and magic mountain are no where close when it comes to this. They're more dirty and run down. My kids have a blast, but having passes gives us the ability to just go for three rides and bail. No need to go for an all day event and if it's super crowded we leave. One time trips, you're sort of just gotta take what you get. If it's crowded ... you're kinda f'ed.
By DiPro Go To Postdid you go to DisneySea tho? that's supposed to be the good with 100% original stuff. the other one is just a copy from cali.I only went to TDS, and I picked TDS because they serve booze on site.
It is different DisneyLand. It was still designed by Disney, I believe, and still expensive and a bad experience for me.
I only went there to keep the girl I was dating happy. And the next time I go will be to keep my daughter happy, but fuck the whole process of going, standing in line, paying out the nose, and heading home.

I went to Disney world once and was really impressed by how everything works but couldn't imagine ever going again unless I had kids . And my kids will be raised on Spawn and animaniacs
I have gone several times with family when younger, once as part of a gifted-and-talented student program in middle school, and once more in high school as one of the bands playing a concert at the park.
The trip in middle school was the most fun because they had us go in before the park opened and showed us all the behind the scenes of places like the haunted mansion and also got to ride space mountain with all the lights on vs off to see the effect that simple change had on how fast and exciting the ride felt.

All that I have learned is that if I ever father children I will deny they are mine publicly, and privately instruct them in the worship of Satan.
I saw something online talking about nutrition and said to just take a glance at what people have in their shopping cart next time you go out
Man where is the food ?
