Everybody's entitled to their opinion Matt
The weather - DLP is not in California or Florida. The Imagineers have done a great job of weather-proofing as much as they can of the parks - I love the arcades that run parallel to Main Street for example. The service - in my opinion Europe is renowned for its lack of service culture. This should no be acceptable as a reason to accept poor service, what I mean is that the US has a much stronger and deeper service ethic than their European cousins. VFM - for a quick Disney fix, it's great value for money. Try booking DLP for 2 weeks and you'll need to remortgage. But then, DLP is not a 2 week resort. Similarly, Brazilian tour groups seem to be a very (un)popular topic on the Florida boards, and I'm pleased to hear about such a well behaved group. Either way, if you ever choose to go, go with an open mind and come back and tell us what you experienced.

Hi JC,
We took our son when he was 5 and he loved it. He went on lots of rides and we couldn't get him off Big Thunder Mountain. We went for 3 days and at the time we didn't visit the studios park as we thought he may be too young to appreciate it. Since then they have added more rides which I think would be great for your daughters age. We are going to WDW next May but I have waited for my son who is now 10, to be tall enough to go on the rides, not only at Disney but Universal too. We have had to save hard for it and I personally thought it would be a waste of time going to Florida if my son couldn't appreciate and experience all the rides. That's just our opinion though. Before we had our son my husband and I had visited DLP before, and I think for a long weekend or Mon-Fri break it is perfect. Our son still talks about it now, and we will go back. We stayed in the Santa Fa when we went as a couple, it is going back a few years but it was ok. The rooms were clean and it was in walking distance to the parks if you didn't want to wait for a bus. We stayed at the Magic Circus Hotel when we took our Son, again nice and clean but not in walking distance, you had to rely on the buses but we never had any problems with them. Personally I always pick the cheapest hotels as we only sleep in the room. We went in July and we were out the hotel at 8am and not back in the room til midnight. My son has always had great staying up power lol. How are you thinking of getting there? We went by air with BMI Baby from East Midlands. Lovely short flight. My Cousin is going next week with her 4 year old son, she is staying in the Cheyene, they had a really good deal. If you want I can let you know how she gets on. |

The weather thing always makes me smile. I love the British weather. I hate heat and particularly humidity. (Hence why we're going to WDW in December!)
For me, the fact that the weather in DLP will be pretty much the same as you get in Britain is completely and totally irrelevant to my enjoyment. In fact it might even increase it - no getting sweaty and tired with all the walking, I can wear what I want without worrying about my pasty-white legs, no need to carry bottles of water ... Odd, isn't it? Almost every DLP/WDW related post assumes that Florida weather = enjoyable, Paris weather = endurable. Maybe I am just weird.

I think most places are worth visiting to make your own mind up, especially DLP
we went and enjoyed most of it, we wouldn't go again but would encourage everyone to see for themselves |

Trying for More Ears

Been to DLP a few times and loved every trip. been to WDW and there is of course no comparing them you just cant.
Paris wont have the weather but then you know that. Some of the rides are far better than the wdw version space mountain in WDW was a let down compared to the atmospheric and thrills of the dlp version Pirates was again better at DLP 2 drops instead of one the second being far bigger than the wdw ride. There is a lot of differences and its enough that you can visit wdw and dlp without needing to compare them As for staying at the santa fe, I wouldnt, it shouldnt be that much more to stay in the Cheyene which is a far better and more atmospheric hotel that the santa fe, I've stayed in both and the santa fe didnt feel like disneyland, the Cheyene transports you back to the old west and feels totally disney, if you know what i mean.

We love DLP saying that we think WDW is fantastic but dont compare one against the other . Its that magic you feel when your there and soak up the atmosphere. As you con see from the countdown were off in 2 days and believe me if we hadnt enjoyed our first trip we wouldnt be going back.If you go then go with an open mind and dont compare you may find you have a great time
