I agree that Space Mountain and the Haunted House were far superior in DLP( did not go on BTM). The Indiana Jones coaster backwards was so much fun, but I couldn't get oriented after. I think that Space Mountain in DLP was the most fun I ever had a Disney ride.
As far as time off, you guys sure have the life. I guess you've heard people in the US grumble about their paultry week, all that's required by law each year, or two weeks vacation( holiday). My husband and I are semi-retired so we travel much more now than in the past.
I suppose it is expensive to go to Paris from Wales!!!
