Thanks so much everyone - I had a great two days. I was actually pleasantly surprised by both parks! I felt that while they lacked the same amount of attractions as California and Tokyo, the ones they did have were great, and sometimes even better. I LOVED Pirates and Phantom Manor - both great takes on the originals. Space Mountain was awesome as well, but I think I'd give the edge to California due to how rough the one in Paris was at times. Loved the launch and the "steampunk" theme, though! Really bummed that Big Thunder was closed - it looked great! I guess that will give me a good reason to go back. Over in WDS, Crush's Coaster was a lot of fun - best spinner I've ridden with a great theme. The ride that really blew me away was Ratatouille. I went on it several times, it was incredible! Just as much fun as the movie. I also ate at Remy's Bistro, which in my opinion was the best food I have ever had at a Disney park. And such a fun atmosphere! Was not impressed with Indiana Jones (too rough), the tram tour, or Armageddon. I did check out Cinemagique, which I agree was a very fun show - thanks for the recommendation. And I did stay late for the Nighttime show at the castle, which was well worth it. Overall it was a great visit and I would gladly go back. I would agree this resort is at the bottom of the list compared with the other two resorts I've visited, but it was still a great Disney offering, with some very good unique attractions that help it to stand out in my mind. So that's three down, three to go. Hmmm....which one to visit next...

Hello friends! You all were extremely helpful to me a few years ago with theme park advice when I was in the UK, and also last year when I went to the Tokyo Disney Resort (seriously, your advice really helped me make the most of my limited visit there, and I had an amazing time. So THANK YOU!). Well, now I am traveling abroad again, and about to check another Disney resort off my bucket list. This time it is Paris. I've heard these two parks are the lowest on the list when it comes to Disney parks, but I am still excited to give it a try. I will be at the resort for two full days this coming weekend, just by myself. So, what are the absolute must do attractions (I am mostly a "rides" guy, but will take time to see a show if it's truly worth it...such as World of Color or Fantasmic), what things are the same as in California or Tokyo, and which attractions are better in California and Tokyo. I've definitely done some research on this, but it's always good to get a little advice from fellow enthusiasts. Thanks in advance!

Okay gang - you guys helped me out a ton a couple years ago when I went to the UK...this time it's Japan. Heading on a business trip to Singapore and I'm extending my layover in Japan by a few days so I can hit up TDR and TDS. Always wanted to go to those so couldn't pass up the chance. I will be there for two full days plus an evening when I get there and a morning the day I leave; so a Saturday evening through Tuesday morning. Only other Disney resort I've been to is the California one. Bearing that in mind, I need some help in prioritization. What are the things I absolutely cannot miss, what stuff is the same as the California resort, what stuff is not as good as Cali, etc. From my own research I know of a few things, but figured it best to go straight to the experts. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks friends!!

Thanks for the info - I did see Thorpe Park as well and that it is much closer. Can you tell me more info about both of these parks? What are the pros/cons of each (other than the distance they will be from where I'm staying)? Just would like to get a better idea of what each one has to offer (other than what i can see on RCDB of course). Thanks again - very helpful info indeed.

Hi everyone, Long time theme park fanatic here - first time poster on this forum. I know a lot of you have traveled a bunch so I thought this forum would be a good source of info. I'm going to be in the United Kingdom (Crawley to be specific) in July this year, and I've got Saturday available to do whatever I want. I really want to hit up a theme park and get some good credits in. Which one would you recommend? I'm thinking Alton Towers (since that's the one I know the most about), but is that the best one? Is there another place that would be more worth it? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide.
