Disneyland Debate

Just a quick one today, although it might be long as I feel a huge ramble coming on in a short space of time. I'm currently getting ready to go to one of my good friends 21st birthday celebrations but needed to check in. A check in about the ongoing Disney Debate going on in my relationship!

 Having previously been to Disneyland Paris on numerous occasions, I'm now questioning, should I go back?! Disneyland Paris has been a much loved holiday destination of mine and it was and still is mine and my boyfriend's favourite place to go. If my boyfriend got his way, we would be at Disneyland Paris or Disneyworld tomorrow but for me, I'm just not so sure.

Do we save up to go to Disneyworld? The only downside to this is that it is around £1500 each to go to Disneyworld for 10 days. The major catch is that you have to pay extra for food, none of this all inclusive lifestyle that I love to lead on holidays! I find £1500 is a massive chunk of money to just spend on flights and a hotel as this price doesn't even include of tickets! I would do this, I'm not going to kid you, I really would do this. Save up loads of money and splash out for an amazing experience but as a university student and someone who is working weekends, looking for a house and saving money for a mortgage, I simply can't afford it!

Do we go to Disneyland Paris? Me and my boyfriend love it there, we really do. I have been there 5 or 6 times, and we have been there once together. Instead of going again why not save up and go to Disneyworld? Then it raises the questions above! It's like a never ending circle. Then we thought, why not go all out, go to Disneyland Paris but pay to have breakfast with the characters, go to a more expensive hotel but then it's the question of, that money could be going towards America!

Do we just not do Disney? We have only ever been to Disneyland once as a couple but have been on 6 abroad holidays and we love the sunshine. We went to Disneyland the week before Christmas and it was magical but couldn't imagine the place in the summer when it was hot, the queues are long and there are too many people. However in other places like Salou, Tenerife, Cape Verde, the holidays and quiet and tranquil and you can soak up every last drop of sunshine for a fraction of the cost and go all inclusive!

Don't get me wrong, we found an amazing Disneyworld deal. Return flights from London in September (would be there for my birthday!), 7 nights in one of the All Stars hotels then a 3 days Disney Cruise around the Bahamas for £1400 a person, inclusive of park tickets and free food on the cruise! Now that is an absolute bargain but I just can't seem to push myself to go and I'm questioning myself why. Does it seem selfish that I want a house instead of experiences? Houses can wait, experiences can't! But then I think, in the future we could go with children and properly experience the magic.

I always have too many thoughts racing around my head, not knowing which way to turn and find it hard to make a decision when it's this big. Feeling a bit like Nelly and having a dilema! I'm sure a solution will be found and hopefully, whatever the result of the Disney Debate you will see a blog post about it soon!
