If you like Harry Potter, yes, it’s good. Almost too good. They’ve got so much actual stuff from the films you get a bit blase about it.

I’m not a massive fan as it happens, it’s the daughter and missus who are - but I was still impressed.

I'm not a fan at all. My eldest loves it though and I don't think the other two mind it.

Hopefully I can enjoy it too. Is it a half day sort of thing?

I found it interesting and being pretty much in some of the film sets was cool. A few hours feels about right. Worth taking a mortgage out for the gift shop though.

Will 150-200 million Europeans think it's worth getting a passport to visit another Disneyland?

I’m sure there’ll be plenty who are visiting London who will pop up for the day, if not longer.

Most of the Florida attractions are indoors.

Is that the thing near Watford? Is it any good as I'm taking the kids in the summer?

Its a very good half-day out. Just a pain being a tad too far out of London.
Especially when we went on a day that the trains were on strike, so ended up taking an uber each way, which wasn't cheap.

Be amazing if they re-mastered the old Back to the Future ride. I loved it, far more than its replacement in Florida (Simpsons, which is still decent enough)

You can get a ferry to Amsterdam, go to Efteling, and a few other very good places on route to DLP, then tube back to UK and drive home from there.
Or as someone else has said, just train to London then Eurotunnel train to nearby then a local train to literally disneyland itself.

Exactly, would also make it stand out more to other theme parks in the uk and europe

Apparently the one in London has exclusive rights to HP in the UK.

Would be a real kick in their balls if Universal did a HP land less than 50 miles away mind, I can see why that's a non-starter. But you could do both places on a single trip.

I hope the trains aren't on strike when I go or I'll have to drive there instead.
