I love disney land paris. Walt disney said that when in his park he doesnt want you to see the outside world and i feel that is so true! While at disney it is like all your problems melt away!

The rides on Brighton pier may be old school, but the thrill of swinging your legs out over the sea whilst being totally windswept complete the whole experience. Best on a sunny, cold winter day with the sound of screams, wind, seagulls and smell of sea, chips & candyfloss for accompaniment.
