Egypt – Part 1 (Alexandria and Cairo)
We recently took a “bucket list” trip to Egypt. We knew that since this was a place that may not be easy to navigate (not better, not worse, just different), we chose to book a tour. Since many of you know already our love for Disney, we booked our tour through Adventures by Disney (www.adventuresbydisney.com). We absolutely made the right choice using ABD! They had a plan for everything and when the plan didn’t work out, they had a backup plan…we were truly in the “Disney Bubble” the entire time and had access to things that we would never [...]
France – Part 3 – Disneyland Paris
I wrote a few articles about my pre-Disneyland Paris planning in early April before I left which compared the planning differences that I had noticed. Now that I have gone, let’s talk about the real differences. The overall feeling and park structure of Disneyland Paris is very much like it is at Disneyland in California. The Disneyland Hotel was very nice, had breakfast included and was truly right at the entrance to the park. The food at both the quick service and casual sit down restaurants at Disneyland Paris were very similar to what you experience in either California [...]
France – Part 2- Paris
I have always wanted to visit Paris…although I lost the 5 years of French that I took in middle and high school! But Peter, that is another story, it was not on his list – he said he doesn’t like French wine, cheese or cigarettes and doesn’t wear a scarf – so why go – Italy is better (spoken like a true New York Italian boy). I convinced him that we would do Disneyland Paris as part of the trip and he agreed. I will talk more about that part of the trip next week! During our 3 days [...]
France – Part 1- Southern France
We visited France this spring for the first time. Over the next couple of weeks, I will give you some of my best experiences during that trip. This week I will cover Southern France, then will cover Paris and finally will cover everything Disneyland Paris!!So, let’s start with Southern France. We chose to stay in Nice, thinking it was the biggest city in the South of France, right on the Mediterranean and gave us easy access to some other places in Southern France to visit during our time there.We had a wonderful room at the Le Meridien that had a [...]
Disneyland Paris – Part 2 – More Planning
As I told you last week, we are doing our first international trip where we visit a Disney Park! By the time you are reading this, we should be a week out from our time at Disneyland Paris and enjoying some time in Nice! I wanted to tell you a few things that I noticed when booking my Disneyland Paris trip vs visiting a Disney Park in the US. Disneyland Paris has a few new “worlds” that opened right at the end of March, so I guess our timing was good for our trip. They have the World of [...]
Disneyland Paris – Part 1 – Planning
I am getting ready for my first Disney adventure outside of the US. In fact, in only 14 days, we will arrive at Disneyland Paris! We are leaving in 5 days to head to France and will be spending a few days in both Nice and Paris before Disneyland Paris (more about those destinations in a future blog). I thought I would spend the next 2 weeks giving you some noticeable differences that I have found already between Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. In case you didn’t know, Disneyland Paris has 2 parks which are Disneyland and Disney Adventure World [...]
