So far we have been to this year: Disneyland Paris Walt Disney Studios Paris Alton Towers Legoland Windsor Europa Park Phantasialand Efteling And of those trips, Europa Park and Efteling were far more magical than the mouse or Universal (though I have yet to visit Wizarding World yet). It is so sad as I really want the mouse to be the very best...
