As myself and the family will be flying in from Sydney Australia I'm trying to plan ahead and make sure the trip is as good as can be.

I've been when it was called EuroDisney and had a great day. I was worried that would have problems with the language seeing as I was an Aussie with absolutely no French but it was fine. The only disappointing thing was as I was leaving the park I looked up at some rooms that were lit up over the ma...

"Beast" for me...cause sometimes when I get a bit down I know I get moody and can come across a little like him ( Note: I would never keep a woman locked in my dungeon against her will!)

Oh and I'd have the thrill of kissing Belle all the time...Hmmmmm
