Disneyland paris

I took the grandkids there about 16 /  18  years ago and was not looking forward to it,

We stayed at a camp site about an hour away and I must admit,

Although they took me on rides that make me go upside down and around and around I enjoyed it,

The fast food at the diners was not always as hot as they should be,

Apart from that an enjoyable experience for a man in his 50's,

Don't think I would want to go in my 70's now though.

Went to Disneyland a few years ago and stayed in a hotel on site.

There were hardly any English people in it, but after breakfast the Disney characters were offering autographs to the children - so we stood with our daughter and duly obtained the auto's of Minnie Mouse, Pluto etc in her brand new autograph book. Became a bit surreal when I looked up and there was Paul Scholes with his little lad.
Could not pass up the opportunity (for my daughter  ) to get his autograph (which was written immaculately), at which I then apologised to him for blowing his cover - he said 'no problem' in his gruff Manchester accent. Didn't see him again.

Paul had virtually retired from the game at that point due to a degenerative eye condition, but at that time I did not realise that.

The following week, the big story was that Paul Scholes had been persuaded to make a comeback and he then went on to play for quite a few more years for Man U.

I always wondered if it was because he realised his eyesight had returned to normal in Disneyland.

If it's more for rides than the Disney characters Port Aventura / Ferrari Land in Spain is worth a visit.

We were there last year but Ferrari land wasn't open yet and that main ride looks very impressive even from a distance the wife wants to go back to salou again next year so may get a chance to try it out.

We went in May this year, even though the main park was rammed Ferrari Land was pretty quiet and managed to get on Red Force 5 or 6 times.  It was brilliant.

Been to Disneyland Paris a few times over the years

It is what it is in my opinion.... nowhere near as good as what you'll find over in Florida but more than acceptable if your own expectations aren't too great

The kids always had a great time and would have gone every year if they could

When all's said and done it's where its appeal is - with the kids and parents paying through the nose for it if you're not careful.... food in the park and the merchandise can soon empty your pockets


Which brings me to another footballer enjoying a day out there...

Back in about 2001/ 2002 just as we were coming out of the park at the end of the day, I overheard someone say to his kid who was pestering for more merchandise, " Sorry son but I'm all spent up "

I turned to my side and lo and behold there was Tony Adams pleading poverty!

I think it just about said it all if he couldn't afford any more for his lad....  what hope for us mere mortals?  

He'd probably gambled it all away in the Mickey Mouse casino and betting emporium.
