Have you ever been to a walt disney park that is not near your house?

We live in San Diego, and have been to Disneyland/DCA too many times to count. LOVE IT!!!

We went Disney Paris two years ago - would love to go back as we had some mishaps that morning so only got to spend the afternoon there.

Are making our FIRST trip to WDW in Sept!!!

Hope to one day visit the other ones...each one is unique, but familiar at the same time.
 
For those who've been to the Paris resort, what did you like and how is it different than WDW? We are planning to go to Paris sometime in the near future and considered adding that as a stop (we have children ages 7, 5, and almost 3). Going to Paris for me is all about exposing my kids to a new culture so I'm concerned that taking them there would be like going to WDW, just in Paris. Hope that makes sense.
 
I live in MA:
WDW: AP holder for several years, many trips
DL: 4 trips, most recently '06 planning a trip for Fall 2010
DLP: Honeymoon trip '04 thinking about maybe 2013 for another trip
TDL, DLHK: I will go there but no plan on the horizon yet

You're asking a mouthful there. The Disneyland park is beautiful, very well maintained with lots of great attractions. The studios park is very weak, not even a half day. There is a Disney Village similar to a DTD but it wasn't that great (although I understand they recently added a Starbucks which gives it a :thumbsup2 in my book. The issues I had was the lack of enthusiasm (magic) of the CMs, people smoked everywhere and pushed and shoved like you've never seen. If you go you absolutely need to go in with an open mind and do not try to compare the resort with its US counterparts or you will be let down, without question. All this being said I really want to (and plan to) go back.
 

Geographically speaking, WDW is very far from my home (over 4000 miles if I remember correctly) so I have been to one not near my house! I've also been to the one in Paris.
 
I also live in Washington State and have been to Disneyland numerous times. This will be my 3rd trip to WDW. My kids prefer Disneyland mainly because the flight is much shorter.
 
We're a 40 minute drive from WDW, so we go there pretty much every month.
We've been to DL several times (together and alone).
We went to DLP a few years ago.
We went to TDL and TDS back in April (absolutely fantastic!)
We're waiting for HKDL to add more attractions before we head there...plus we're itching to get back to Japan for more TDL and TDS...that may come before Hong Kong!
