I have stopped going to Disneyland Paris. I found it a bit of a let down after Florida.

I last went ten years ago. I wonder how much it has changed. Are they constantly adding new stuff like WDW seems to do?
Iâll admit the Castle is a waste of everyoneâs time.

Theyâre actually adding quite a lot to it at the moment, which probably means itâs not an ideal time to visit! I have to admit Iâve never been, the reason being that I just donât see how it could compare to WDW - and the cost. I know you can do it cheaply outside of school holidays though.

It is a while since I went too. I love walking the coastal paths, in Wales mainly but also in Northumberland and Cornwall. The dog and I go off on our own and find dog friendly places to eat and stay along the way. That sometimes takes as much planning as a Disney trip. I am slightly tempted by a canal boat holiday, but the dog loves water and looses his head when he sees ducks, so I worry that he would keep leaping into the water.

When youâre on your phone you canât (or at least I canât) see who the OP is or who is participating. But any thread that starts with âBreaking Newsâ is for sure a @profmatt thread. Itâs his tell. 
Iâm sorry youâve cancelled but glad you are happy with it. If you do go to DLP I hope youâll keep us abreast of all the switcheroos!

There wonât be any, will there? I donât think DLP has any options. You do what youâre told and youâre grateful for it. France is a socialist country, you see.

Weird.
Iâve never been to Paris for Disney or anything else. But I recently had the occasion to eavesdrop on an an interesting conversation while riding a WDW bus. A British mom was asked if her family had ever been to Disneyland Paris. The mom replied that they had, but that her family preferred WDW. She went on to explain that they could spend two weeks at WDW for what it would cost to spend three days at Disneyland Paris. Iâm pretty sure she was a DVC member and part of her calculation was based on how far her points would go. Still, it was a pretty shocking disparity.
And yes, I people watch/eavesdrop at WDW. Its one of the best shows in the park. Thereâs never a wait and it has better repeatability than Star Tours.

The one time I was going to go in 2014, I was paying for 3 days, 2 nights in one of the cheapest onsite hotels, plus flights from the UK (a journey of about an hour), no food included except what I believe is a pretty bad breakfast in the hotel and it was going to cost ÂŁ2000.
A 2 week trip to WDW in 2016 staying at POFQ, transatlantic flights, dining plan, ME, cost ÂŁ6000.
WDW is more expensive because you go for longer, but Iâll happily pay 3 times as much for 2 weeks in the sun in 4 parks instead of 2 nights in the rain in 2 parks.

Well I am sad to hear you cancelled as I loved watching you plan! I am glad that you are happy with your choice though.
In todayâs Calvin Chronicles - which direction will @profmatt and Calvin decide to walk? Where did they go? Which fork in the road? Will they have dinner at restaurant a or b?

Nice try, but thereâs no pleasing @OBNurseNH. Only last week I gave her the fascinating story of how I bought a fan, changed my mind, sent it back, and then bought a different one.
