You'll find this hard to believe about a Larry Wilmot trip report, but this one is just overflowing with sarcasm, wit, and strange punctuation. Perhaps growing weary of Walt Disney World, Larry and friends (and family) head to Disneyland Paris.

It isn't often that we get Disneyland Paris trip reports from people able to drive
there. But Saskia lives in The Netherlands and it is her local park. But some
things just don't change and her family thinks it a bit odd that she and her partner
are returning so soon after their last visit.

Tobias knew he wanted to go back to Disneyland Paris over the holidays and a surprise
gift for his mom's birthday was a pretty good hook. His dad's only requirement
for helping with the surprise was that it be a whole family event. In the end,
the Disney magic works for everybody and makes for a great family trip.

Iris and her husband are Disney veterans, but this was their first trip to Disneyland
Paris. It was just a day trip since they only had a week in Paris and (gasp!)
apprently wanted to see other things as well. The weather wasn't perfect, but
they were prepared and now they're going to have to experience Tokyo Disneyland.

Larry and his family make their third trip to Disneyland Paris. A French air traffic
controller's strike throws some kinks in their plans, but as Larry says, no one
is going to come between him and Disney.

Though this one was originally written and posted to our message boards for friends,
it is still an entertaining read for everyboy. In a rare exception to our usual
methods, this report includes many photographs that will make the page a heavy
download, but it is worth the wait.

This is our first Paris trip report since last September and it looks like we
have a couple coming. Lisa and her husband took a week-long trip in June and they
had a wonderful time, even if her husband did have to change his name.

James visited Disneyland Paris mostly to see the new Walt Disney Studios. He's
been to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris before, so the main
draw was to see the newest Disney park.

Jody's conclusion was this, "I highly recommend the Disneyland Paris Resort
to everyone. If you can get a good rate on airfare, a trip to Disneyland Paris
Resort is very affordable, and worth a stay of about five days." This is
a report of a personal side trip attached to a family visit to Holland. It's filled
with information on those things that distinguish Disneyland Paris from Walt Disney
World.

This is a fun trip report in part because of the back and forth dialog that
Ed and Lisa provide. It's an unusual style, but a fun one. If you
really want to know what it's like to visit DLP as an American, this report should
be one of the first ones you read!

This report gives Frank's initial impressions of the new Walt Disney Studios park
at Disneyland Paris. It's presented in a summary style, and is a great summary
of the new park.

Billy spent a month studying in France, and couldn't pass up a day at DLP while
he was in the neighborhood! The comparisons between the Paris and U.S. parks
that he paints are very interesting. This isn't a long report, but it's
fun to read.

- Comments: Dennis revisited
DLP in the Fall of 1999, after a similar trip in 1998. Like his 1998 report,
this one is fun to read because of the contrasts that he draws between the Paris
and Florida parks. There is definitely a difference in culture from the
US parks versus DLP. This report makes that very clear!

Paul and his wife, Bobbie, were able to go to Europe for almost a week, including
a nice visit to Disneyland Paris. This is a fantastic trip report for those
US citizens that are planning a trip to DLP. It also includes a wonderful
description of the couple's stay in Paris before going to the park.

about a weekend trip to DLP. Christina and husband Chris -- ironic, huh?
:) -- spent most of the weekend at DLP. They stayed on property, so they
were able to enjoy the park as well as the ambiance of the resort hotels, too.

Laura's report is a wonderfully written description of a weekend foray to Disneyland
Paris. The Chapmans stayed at Sequoia Lodge during their trip.
Laura's descriptions of the couple's time in the park just whets the appetite
to jump on a Concorde.

Edward visited DLP with his two children. His wife decided to spend the
day in Paris and passed on the Disney day. Both parties had a great time
(and it would be VERY difficult to choose which way to go if I was in Paris).

This is the first ever trip report posted on this site for Disneyland Paris.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to visit DLP myself, so I won't be adding a DLP
trip planning guide anytime in the future, but the trip reports will be fun.
This was Peter's 9th visit to the park.

of his February trip to DLP provides some insight about visiting the European
park with a youngster. Peter's friend brought his 10-year old son along
for the trip. This was a quick (two day) visit, but covers some details
that are unique to Disneyland Paris.
