WHAT @ London and Paris... those two are not safe at all. There's lots of crime in both of those cities. My first thought - take her to Tokyo. It's one of the funnest times I've ever had in my life. Everyone is really friendly, and it's so surreal. Plus Tokyo Disney is the best out of all of the Disney Resorts, IMO. But Tokyo is possibly one of my favorite places in the world.

DisneySea is the greatest theme park I've ever been to. It is just BREATHTAKING! Talk about magic, that's really it. It has all the culture and themeing of Epcot and all the magic of MK. It combines the two, really. You need to go. Tokyo Disneyland is still great, too. The Winnie the Pooh ride is REALLY cool.

Not to mention, the weather in summer was good, but the weather in winter must be AMAZING!

Yeah, I get Europe, but let's face it, there's quite a bit of European culture in the US, going by the fact that a majority of the people in the US are, erm, of "European Descent." And not much Japanese culture, I mean sure we have Anime on Adult Swim, but really that only scratches a tiny little surface of it.

While I certainly understand your thinking, the OP's dd is into art and going to the Louvre is the first thing I thought of.

You left out Harajuku. That is on the top of our anime junky list. If it was us we would be headed to Tokyo, no doubt here.

I love Hungary when we were there - what a beautiful old city Budapest was. Italy was beautiful and so was Austria. I would love to see London, Paris, Greece, anywhere other than the US. Tokyo looks like fun and especially disney!!!!! I wish we could travel more than what we have done. My family say I should be a travel agent and quit my full-time insurance position. I just don't see how that is possible at this time in my life - would love too though. I vote for anywhere!
