Taking The Kids To Disneyland Paris

A few weeks ago I took the kids to Disneyland Paris. This was something that we had been planning to do for years, but only just got around to doing it. Of course visiting a place like this is every kid’s dream; and my own little monsters were no exception. We decided to travel at the weekend; I took the Friday off and so we had a lot of time to explore the park. The tickets for Disneyland were not too expensive as I booked them on the internet. And I managed to find a quite affordable hotel not too far away.

We live in Cambridge and decided that we would be as well to drive all the way there. I have never previously used the Chunnel so this was a big adventure for me. We left our home at about six in the morning and were on the continent by half past ten; amazingly fast when you think about it. Believe it or not we had already arrived at Disneyland Paris just a couple of hours later. We went straight to the hotel because we were all tired. My younger children would have gone straight to Disneyland but thankfully we managed to get them to agree. So instead of going straight there, we sat in the hotel, had a nice meal and then an early night so we could get up first thing.

After spending the whole of the next day in the park we were shattered but we had had an amazing day; my children were in heaven. We had heard that the size of the park was much smaller than the ones in the US but for us it was plenty big enough. I don’t think we saw half of what was on offer. We have children ranging from three to ten; they all found something to enjoy. On Sunday we returned home. Even though we had a great time here I think next time we visit we will arrange to have more time to visit the park so we will have to go for longer.

As far as huge corporations are concerned, everybody must know about virgin holidays. That’s right, the huge monster of a company founded by the indomitable sir richard branson. Among many of the virgin brand names are virgin trains.
