Disneyland Paris Ticket: 1 Day 2 Park
Paris, France
My Rating

This is not Disney World. This is Disney Paris. You will have a good time but it is not as well kept, clean, orderly or renovated as Disney World. Ignore how weathered and dated it looks while you have a great time with your kids in the quiet, lovely French countryside.

London Pass
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

The London Pass is not for everyone. If you are a planner, this card is for you. For the price, you really do have to hit 3 big sites a day to make it worth the money - not counting museums as they are free. It is great for Fast Pass and ease of use. It is highly recognized at the sites and understood by everyone. The guide books are great for the trip and kids love to read about the locations before we go or to help pick between two sites. Kids, also, love the lanyards. The pins were unnecessary in our experience. The free entry and discounts are as described on the London Pass's website. We even did a few of the less visited things and they were the highlights of our trip...Kensington Palace tour and the Brass Rubbing at St. Martin in the Fields. By keeping track of the price of each attraction for my family of 6 and deciding which of the big attractions we wanted to see in advance, we used every penny we spent on the card and saved $255 more. I will say we were very disappointed with the Globe Theater. It was a total waste of time and money. We went twice, the reproduction theater was closed (not on website) both times and we spent the equivalent of 72 Pounds to see a 10 minute walk-around exhibit. Absolute disappointment and the employees were rude and arrogant about the importance "Exhibition." The HMS Belfast was also a bit of a disappointment but as we had the London Pass, we didn't feel like it was a waste. Also, there are some attractions like the London Eye, Ripley's, The London Dungeon and Madame Tussaud's that have teamed up together and are not on the London Pass. We paid out of pocket for two of those and it would have been nice if they were included. They were very expensive and the line for the Eye was 30+ minutes long. The London Pass would have earned 5 Stars from me if the Eye, Ripley's, LD and MT's were part of the bargain as well...or for a little more money.
