Disney around the world
Filed under: Big Kids, Activities: Babies, Places To Go
I've been to Disneyland in California once, about five years ago. We were in town for a wedding and had an unscheduled day and it was right there. But visiting a Disney park has never been a dream of mine. I tend to avoid any place that is overly crowded and insanely expensive. But I know I am probably in the minority there, as many families consider a trip to a Disney park to be the ultimate destination.
Of course, Ellie was very young and has little memory of her visit to Disneyland and would like to do it again. Maybe if we could tie it in with a trip to Hong Kong, Tokyo or Paris, I might get excited about it. Have you visited a Disney resort outside of the U.S? Was it all you thought it would be?

Monica said...I'm living in Japan, and after being to Tokyo Disney I can tell you that it was a disappointment as there is absolutely nothing different from Disney in CA or FL... everything is in English, the food is pretty much the same with very few differences (like they sell tea along with the soft drinks), but the rides, the park layout, the waiting in line is exactly the same... the shows are in English and the parade is in English.
To us it was a big disappointment as we were expecting a different experience. It was very expensive and it was just like having been in Disney in the States... yes the kids had fun, we had fun, but it was not an experience worth repeating...

Karen said...I despise crowds and overpriced anything.
That said, we vacation at Disney (Orlando) a lot. The kids love it and there are definately ways to do it right.
I never stand in line. I never go when it is hot. We are going again in February and expect yet another great trip ON A BUDGET. You just have to do it right! :)

It was a nice experience and the children loved it but terribly expensive!

Megan said...I've been to Tokyo Disney before having kids- it was fun, but super expensive (worse than the U.S.). It was an interesting experience, though, because a lot of things are the same, but there are some funny differences (the Japanese love Winnie the Pooh, for example, so those characters are very prominent at Tokyo Disney, but hard to find at Disney World or Land.) And “It’s a Small World” in Japanese is pretty cute. I'd love to go to Disney in France sometime, but that would really be just because I love France.
If you do want to go to an international theme park that is really fun, try the original Legoland in Denmark, or the one in Windsor England, or go to Tivoli in Copenhagen or Tivoli in Stockholm- all truly well-done theme parks with fun for all ages and definitely a cultural experience as well. We have been to those with kids and they are fun for all ages, plus are in really great places to travel with children!
