Dot Points – Disneyland Paris 2011
Posted in France, tagged Disneyland Paris on April 2, 2011 | 3 Comments »
The park must base much of its economy on disposable items. The type of item that, when you buy it in the midst of the fun of Disneyland looks fantastic, when you get it home you think what were you thinking. For example, a Minnie Mouse ear headpiece cost ten euro and 50 per cent [...]

Perhaps it’s because I am still full of lurgy and feeling sorry for myself that my defences are down but I am misting up all the time here. I would never have thought this park would kill me so much on daily basis but each day I have witnessed something incredible that has had me [...]
Reasons To Be In Disneyland Paris

My parents are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. My Father is celebrating his 70th birthday. This makes my Dad 19 when he got married and 20 when he had Andrew, which is astoundingly baby like. Their request to celebrate two momentous milestones is to come here, to a Disneyland and stay in the Disneyland Hotel. [...]
Those Wacky French

Yesterday was what we refer to in the mental health business as A Bugger, thank you very much full moon. So I am blaming that for the incredible Nigel moment that I had. As explained yesterday I am attempting …. attempting being the operative word… to get my parents from Zürich to Marne-la-Vallee Chessy (amongst other tasks but this took forever). [...]

Not sure when this will be published. Apologies for missing yesterday but it was crazy busy with getting to Heathrow and getting back from Paris on the Chunnel. In the ridiculous way of the traveller I have been in four countries in the past 24 hours. I am completely manky with sweat as American airlines [...]
Dot Points Part 3 – Mouse Edition

Relations in the United Nations that is the populace of this theme park broke down a few times over the last few days, in much the same way as the real United Nations. The most spectacular was a very large Frenchman and a very large Englishman come to blows outside of the Skitch ride. Much macho [...]
Duet

Really quick update today as there are multiple balls being juggled at the moment. It’s the end of a really long day traipsing the parks. I’m tired and my feet are screaming at me. We sit down at the bus stop waiting for the bus that will transport all the weary people back to their [...]
At The Mercy of The Mouse
Posted in France, tagged Chunnel, Disneyland Paris on March 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »
After an interesting journey in the chunnel ( note to potential travellers…. The Eurostar train trip is ok and at two hours long way quicker than previous options of travelling to the continent however, all in all, it’s kind of boring. Do it so you can say you’ve done it but otherwise go for the cheaper flight [...]
