Disneyland

Okay, I’d better come clean from the start: I love Disneyland Paris. Taking my young children there remains one of my happiest family memories (in fact if you could see the grin on my face in the picture of us all posing with Mickey Mouse you might wonder if it was me or the children who was having the most fun).

That being said, I’m not going to pretend that the weekend we spent in France at the theme park didn’t present certain challenges. Queues, arguments over which rides we should go on next and where to have lunch were all a feature. In hindsight though, these challenges could have been largely avoided with a bit of preparation and organisation on my part before we’d set off.
