Who doesn’t like Disney, especially when the kids are involved? Yes, the company has had its own traumas over the years. Yes, prices can be out of control when and where you go, but the smiles on the faces of the little ones, and the big ones, too . . . to be fair, the money floating out of your purse or your wallet all makes it worthwhile. And, the fact that there are so many Disney properties around the globe makes visiting almost a no-brainer.
But what if you’re not near Disney, or maybe unable or unwilling to plump for the often rather high / extortionate prices? (the tickets can make you dizzy.) We may have a solution for you, especially if you’re based in Europe. There is, of course, Disneyland Paris, which is tres bein, but what if the prices or distances are just not feasible?
