DH & I have been to WDW 12 times between us, most recently in Nov '06 and then we went to DLP this June. I was sooo disappointed!
It didn't help that it was spring type weather (not quite up to 60 F most days). But it didn't have any of the 'magic'.
My plus sides for us were traveling - roughly 4 hours door to door, and how close everything was, a 15 minute walk to go anywhere. A couple of unique or more updated rides, and did I mention how close it was to us?
The down sides were numerous. We found it so incredibly pricey, 4.50 Euro for a not quite pint size glass of coke. Thats $6.75! We spent $300 in 3 1/2 days for meals, and we ate at the cheapest restaurants, and we shared some lunches. By comparison we have DDP on our next 14 night WDW trip for $963. This is going to seem a silly thing to say, but even the pavements were a disappointment. They had large cracks and even holes in places - mainly just outside the parks - and were a trip hazard. I don't remember having anything like this is WDW. We encountered some rude CM's, but I suppose that
could happen anywhere :lookaroun
The hotels were nicely themed, but the had the most uncomfortable, small bed. I would suggest staying off property or spending more for a more luxury/comfortable resort. I would second Fun2Bfree's comment on visiting if you are in France, but I would advise anyone I knew in the US to make the trip south, not east.
We were so disappointed we booked another trip back to WDW for Nov '09 :sohappy::xmas:
