Kind of like Paris and Rome?[/quote]

DP but that is very different. Paris and Rome are not amusement parks where the whole point is to move from one activity with a line to the next activity with a line, and where certain very popular activities (with long lines) is pretty much the entire reason for going. Some people will treat them that way, just hitting the the big highlights that are always mobbed with people, but unlike Disney, you could skip literally all of the line-heavy activities and still have a wonderful, immersive, memorable trip. A lot of the stuff in Paris that gets mobbed actually makes no sense to me. The Eiffel Tower is meant to be viewed from a distance (and is visible from like 90% of the city) -- going to the base and standing in line to go up it seems like a colossal waste of time to me.

You can go to Paris and wander [b]Monmarte [/b]and the Latin Quarter, go to the flea market, hit a couple of the smaller museums (skip the Louvre, you will not be shortchanged on art if you instead go to Rodin or l'Orangerie), eat at an amazing restaurant every night, do a behind-the-scenes tour of the Opera house, picnic within view of the Eiffel Tower, get a croissant or pain au chocolate every morning at a different wonderful bakery, experience cafe culture, visit several gorgeous gardens, walk the Champs Elysee and the Tuileries, and visit a wide variety of Paris shops, and never stand in a line longer than a few people long.

There is no version of Disney like this that is worth experiencing, without paying through the nose for line skipping passes.[/quote]

Monmarte? I’m embarrassed for you.[/quote]
