this is a great place to visit especially if you have small kids or children around 9 or 10, not far from the m1 motorway with plenty of parking, entrance fee is not too bad, there are plenty of rides and when we went in the summer holidays the lines were quite short and we had little wait. my son loved the pirate ship, and the small log flume and runaway train. they both enjoyed squirting the water on the firemans ride. there is a nice food court with a mcdonalds type restaurant, a sandwich area with baked potatoes and the kids liked there meals from here, there are the small shops at the entrance a nice sweetie shop, and the usual merchandise. my daughter who is 6 got to go on all the rides in the park so is good value for money.

well if you have the money and you want style and oppulance you have to stay at the grand floridian disneys top hotel, this beautiful white building is something to see, it has a monorail running through which takes you to the magic kingdom and epcot plus it can take you to the polynesian and the contempory, when you enter this hotel you see just how magic it is, a grand piano playing in the foyer and a large seating area, we did not stay here but we went to the disney princess character dinner which is a buffet and cinderella, prince charming, her stepsisters and stepmother all come to your tables and sign your autograph book and have your photo taken, the food was excellent and plenty of choice and you could go back as many times as you wanted. the staff as always are always mega polite and helpful. also if you have a few minutes take a walk along to the wedding chapel, it is beautiful

this is our favourite park, i could write long essays about disney parks, you first enter through the beautiful entrance which is also part of the exclusive disneyland hotel, when you go through the turnstiles you enter into main street usa a great shopping area but leave this for later no point waisting time when there are ride to be had, there are a few “lands” here, we love pirates of the carribean it is one of our favourites, also the runaway train and the haunted mansion (which unfortuately is in french), the rides at disney are so well themed, there is also peter pan, snow white and pinocchio for the little ones not forgetting my little boys favourite its a small world, space mountain is a rollercoaster in the dark, have a look under the castle there is a surprise here which gets over looked. there is a good range of food from the reasonably priced to the more expensive, the shops along mainstreet are great with a large disneystore selling almost everything and on the other side there is a clothiers, jewellers, fine art and photography shop. dont forget to catch the train for a ride around the park.
