Disneyland Florida

asked the little un where he wants to go on holiday and thats where he said

 

is it the right age for an 8 year old and whens the best time to go??

Featured Replies

I'd say 8 is perfect

 

I priced it up and it was 5k minimum which is a lot if fucking money in my book for a holiday.

 

So at least at that age they would get plenty out if it. And they'd remember it.

 

Holiday of a lifetime stuff IMO.

 

You can do Paris fir half the cost but is it the same? I've been told its very good but remain unconvinced.

Do Paris before Florida.

You can do Paris cheaper ATM as it's the 20th anniversary so big discounts available.

Do Paris before Florida.

 

depends on the time of year, though

And isn't Paris something like ?15 a pint???

I meant the smaller one before the big Florida one & really, the price of a pint, is that relevant?

Quand meme, you wouldn't want to be frozen in Paris, pretending to enjoy yourself, between November and March

 

Similarly, Florida in summer isn't pleasant

Save a few quid & get him on the red wine & Galoises like the locals.

I did think that when posting but it sets the precedence for other stuff. Ie eating and drinking costs the earth. So maybe worth paying for VIP package with grub included

True enough. We never ate in the Florida one or Universal studios either. Though to be fair there's no time to.

Then, in a different thread:

just asked the lad if he fancies a drive to blackpool and he refused cos its scruffy, 8 year olds are very observant lately

 

Price is coming down all the time.

Do Paris before Florida.

as the lady said took my two 4 times before we did the florida one :thumbsup:

The one in Paris is absolute shit compared to Florida, I would not bother with the one in France to be honest, get saved up and go to the real one

I've had the misfortune of visiting all 3. Florida is by far the better one, although we enjoyed the French one (it helped that the weather was lovely) - it is expensive though,you can do ?2000 - 3000 in 5 days.

Go to Florida..do not pass go and do not collect ?200...

 

I was lucky enough to go to Disney World Florida a lot as a kid and there is no place like it in the world.

 

I have also been to Disney land and it is no where near as good...

Do Paris before Florida.

 

 

Never, never, never Paris

I have been asked this question so many times

Sod the miserable , robbing French

 

Florida is the only place to do Disney

It's 100% full on

The staff are great and friendly, the weather doesn't let you down

The prices are ok, just get a good deal on where you stay,

Sack the international drive hotel/motel,

Hire a villa with pool, most sleep 6/8

3/4 days in Disney is enough , do not buy 14 day pass

and definitely do one day in seaworld , you can generally do a special which allows you to do two days for price of one

 

The kids will love 1 day Disney, 3 day pool, I day disney , 3 days pool

Remember it's a holiday not a marathon, and a Disney park is 12-14 hrs minimum if you want to see /do everything

 

 

Also, never too young/ never too old

I've see an 18 month old mesmerised with the princesses, and a 60 year old cry at the parade

 

 

A day at beach, and a day at Cape Kennedy for older kids

Silver springs is a good cheap day , although you will need a car and a picnic

Cocoa beach is great, another picnic day,, gator world is dear but well worth a visit

 

Lego land , well worth a visit

An afternoon in Florida mall for the ladies that shop, and loads of good restaurants , cheap and cheerful , or elegant dining

IMO avoid Indian or English, stick with what they do best

All Chinese, Japanese, American , mexicanwe have visited have been good

If you love crab , fish, lobster,salads they are the masters!

 

14 days, easy on the purse, easy , relaxed holiday

 

Baseball games are cheaper than basketball

Most restaurants are kid friendly, tho can be expensive

Breakfast at home, pack a lunch, then eat out in the evenings

 

Best holiday ever, been doing it for 12 years

 

Sorry answer the question!!!

best time to go, early May before the flying bugs, late september

No queues in parks!

Oh and by the way the French get a massive discount As natives , but the Brits don't !!!!

 

 

Can we apply the same rules to them ???

 

8 is a good age to go to Disney World.

 

A good time of year to go - September is the best. Quietest and cheapest time of the year and the heat isn't horrific.

 

Avoid the obvious like Xmas, Easter, Summer holidays and any American public holiday as these times are so busy it just isn't worth the trip.

 

Staying in Disney World itself will cost an arm and a leg. I usually stay south International Drive as its quiet there but within a bus ride of everywhere you need.

 

A pint in Disneyland Paris is about ?8. A cooked breakfast is about ?20. Its stupid.

Never, never, never Paris

Admittedly this is 12 years old, but I’ve taken the plunge and booked the family to go next month for a couple of weeks.

The travel agent I’ve used has prepared me for the eye-watering prices by pulling my pants down before I’ve even got to the airport. Don’t know how he sleeps at night.

any tips from the millionaires of WWays that may add a 2024 update to Mona’s post above?

Im also available for reacharounds, domestic chores and Onlyfans as this is costing all the money that’s ever been printed.

If only there was a travel agent on here who could advise.
