Hi guys, sad as this may sound, my missus and I are both die-hard X-Factor fans, and we are going to miss the final next week due to being at DLRP!
Does anyone know anywhere on-site that may screen it? I was thinking due to the large British contingent, maybe the sports bar or somewhere may have it on (although still pretty unlikely).
As a back-up, I have a PS3 with Playtv and a PSP, so we could watch it live over the internet on a wireless connection. Does anyone know if any of the On-site hotels or bars etc have wireless (whether free or not) that we could do this on?
We are only going to be there from this coming Thursday to Sunday (I know this sounds pathetic!), but we love it so much!! :rotfl: I can just see myself getting on the plane back, and some other British person yapping on about hearing who's won it, before we get the chance to watch it!!
Any advice folks?! x Lol

There is free wifi access from McDonalds I think.
Im sure most of the onsite hotels have wifi access that you pay for in public areas - I think theres info on this in the FAQ sticky

Where are you staying? We were at Kyriad the other weekend and there was free wifi in the rooms - it was great

The new plan I think is either to try and find somewhere in Paris city centre that is screening it on Saturday night, (how sad are we!) or to watch it in the Mcdonalds on Wifi at Charles De Gaulle whilst waiting to fly home. I think that this will at least help with the post-disney blues a bit, and should hopefully avoid having it spoiled for us! If anyone sees a couple staring and cursing at a PSP this Sunday at the airport, then you'll know it's us! :rotfl:
We saw a few Irish bars in the city whilst we were there, so hopefully there's a british pub or two that might be screening it. Will investigate further today...

I looove the X factor, but compared to DLRP?! I'd never watch it again if I got a trip out of it!! Lol.
