It had to happen, eventually. They pestered, and we capitulated; so on February 5th, we depart for a long weekend at Disneyland® Resort Paris with our eight year old and five year old in tow. Look, it's as well to get it over with, yeah? Besides, the last time I visited 'EuroDisney' was 1993, a few months after it opened, and hardly anything had been built - so at least this time round, there should be enough to do to fill three days.
Except myself and m'lovely wife have decreed that, in an effort to inject some degree of cultural worth into the excursion, we will be taking the children (kicking and screaming, if needs be) into Paris, for a few hours around attractions that don't present that hazard of being ambushed by a man in a disc-eared mouse suit.
So the time-honoured question is, where should we go? To be honest, since absolutely anywhere will provide welcome respite from the horror (the horror!) of Disneyland Paris (what is the place called these days?), we're not after particularly refined cultural experiences. Anything to keep the kids from bleating about Goofy and Pluto will do. Dangling them by their ankles from the top of the Eiffel Tower should go some way towards achieving this aim... but apart from that, any advice is appreciated.
