Hello being French and new on this site, I would have liked to have had your feeling of what you think of Disneyland Paris compared to Disney World and the blatant comparisons that you could see and noticed between the 2 parks ?
DLP is a beautiful park...with a beautiful castle. Really enjoyed the rides they offered and the entertainment. Studios park lacked a ton but it seems that is being turned around.
It is really hard to compare WDW and DLP though. I will just say DLP is good for a long weekend, and WDW is the place to go for a longer vacation.
DLP is my absolute favorite Castle park!
I even wrote this article on my blog: DLP: Theme Park as Work of Art
Then on this it depends for whom. I wasn't there when Disney moved to France but after talking to some people you had people who were happy with Mickey's move. But you also had people who were against it, like the farmers or the "anti Mickey". After now at today's time everyone would like or dream to go to the park (well almost everyone)...I'm more curious as to what the French make of DLP? Have they accepted it, or is still regarded as some form of cultural imperialism from the US?
Never been to Disney Paris probably will never go. My son when he was in high school took a class trip to France -Paris and his only comment was the Parisians were extremely rude to them and he said he would never go back. They went on to Spain and Germany and had no problems he said the people were very friendly. Wondering if what he experienced in Paris is normal behavior to foreign guests?
Oh yes the arcades! How could I forget. I could have easily spent hours in the arcades. Would make such a nice addition to MK's main street. Pirates was a big highlight and I was a fan of Nautilus and Space Mountain. Phantom Manor was closed for refurbishment when I visited, still upset about that!I loved my visit to Disneyland Parc (didn't get to go to the Studios). Loved the arcades on Main Street, the Nautilus, the massive Frontierland, Space Mountain, very unique Pirates, etc. The absolute highlight for me was Phantom Manor, though.
So I've spent four days at the parks....I'll have to let you know when I make my first trip there in two weeks!
We found most people in Paris to be quite friendly, especially if you try to learn a handful of words in French. We had the same experience in Germany and Switzerland. At DLP the CMs are multilingual, and it wasn't unusual to see them speak with one guest in French, turn to me and speak and English, and then turn to someone else and speak in yet a third language, with ease and grace.Never been to Disney Paris probably will never go.
