Best Hotel near DISNEYLAND Paris - Best Western Hotel Grand Parc
Only 10 minutes to the Disneyland Paris resort, is this a great alternative to staying in a Disneyland hotel with prices starting from £50 per night. We stayed in this 3 star Best Western hotel while visiting Disney during there 30th Anniversary. Wanting to explore more of France, Paris is only 25 minutes or is your looking to go to a different theme part, Park Asterix is only a 40-minute drive.
Hotel Grand Parc has 68 rooms recently renovated with birds and nature theme. Flying into France, the hotel is 35 Kilometers from Charles de Gaulle airport
The 68 rooms have different color schemes, all include air-conditioned and amenities such as hairdryer, Flat screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. We had a Standard room which had a Double bed and Single Ideal for a couple with child. Family rooms can sleep up to 6 people and connecting rooms are also available.
We enjoyed the continental breakfast as cold buffet breakfast, served in the restaurant from 7:00 am till 10:30 am each day, ideal to fill you up and get to Disney in time for rope drop.
Although we didn't have time to use the SPA with Jacuzzi, sauna, and fitness gym, it's there if you want it.
You can visit amusement parks Disneyland and Asterix park. You can go shopping to the big shopping center Val dEurope with the valley shopping and aquarium Sea Life, relax you in a golf course 18 holes, and the village Nature proposes you the biggest lagoon of Paris and the surrounding area.
All in all, we found this a great location, close to Disneyland Paris with Comfortable rooms, nice breakfast and free on-site parking at a very good price when compared to the Disney hotels.

All you need is a earing and you could start selling scrap.
Very Draculaish did the music from 00:17-00:19. 🧛🏻♂️
Thank you..doing our first ever visit to Legoland and was a bit nervous we wouldn’t be able to ride anything. Put our minds at ease now
Thanks for the video guys!
Rita’s test seat is wrong I know someone probs bigger than u also didn’t fit in the test seat but managed to get on the real ride
The steps to rumba rapids are painful after you’ve been walking for hours!
I fitted on wicker man but only cus the worker gave it a good push could not do it myself
Nowadays, this place looks tacky, shoddy, with that lousy paint job, the red, the blue, the pink, the yellow, rather than European Renaissance look it was once known for and became a magnet to McGoohan to film his show there. A village can lose it's lure and charm with buildings that have the wrong color paint on the exterior. Too abrupt for the eye.
Best thing about Whitby the town is so dog freindly.
Did you end up going on and fitting on saw ?
Could you fit on the smiler
Brill programme. 40 / 50 years ahead of it’s time !
You would 100% fit, your not trying hard enough I have friends much bigger than you and they fit with a good push
Great video. I'm going Saturday
Big boy stealth is like big boy infusion at blackpool good boy icon at Blackpool is like Rita at towers
Did you manage vampire and dragons fury ? My brother is 50” chest so trying to figure out before we go 😊
Looks a real nice place does that!
Thank you for this! It's made me feel more positive about an upcoming trip! Did you go on the Hydra's Challenge ride? I'm just wondering about the sizing of it. Thanks again for a great video!
Hi Dawn. Yes we've both been on Hydra's challenge. Check out the Vlog around 3 mins in ua-cam.com/video/FAQ34N0Fto8/v-deo.htmlsi=CSLbrza7gfUwCH6b You wont have any problems fitting on Hydra's challenge, there's no belts or other types of restraints and is very plus size friendly.
I couldn't get on! I've been going to Thorpe Park since 2009 & although I have grown since I was 15, I've always gotten on Colossus! This year though, I got turned away because the belt wouldn't reach! I know for a fact that they've changed the belts so they don't extend, because every year since '09, I've always gotten on & know for a fact that I haven't put any weight!
Thanks for watching and the information re. belts
Very tight especially on the legs for me, The Vekoma Flying coasters are a lot more plus size friendly
I can only just squeeze in the big seat at 57 inch chest yet I carnt fit on the smiler which is advertised at 56 inch chest so I don’t think the measurements by Alton towers are accurate
I’m 6 foot 4 in height and 57inch waist and weigh 150kg and can ride everything at Legoland, all rides are plus size friendly
Thanks for watching and the Comment. I've not visited this year, have you been on Minifigure Speedway?
I’m 57 inch waist and I can get on Kobra and rattlesnake, the most restrictive rides at chessington is Vampire and Mandrill Mayhem
Hi, I wasn't sure about rattlesnake. I'll give it a go on my next visit or do you think I wont fit. My waist is around 57 inch and chest around 64
God bless you for this, it’s always anxiety inducing thinking about whether I will fit on the rides
Glad it was a benefit
This is fantastic. I can't think of a more thorough and well worded review of Portmeirion, this is just what anyone needs to know before visiting this wonderful place. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I tried to get on colossus twice at 18 stone and couldn't get on the ride I think they need to make the strap longer so accessible to everyone.
Agree, wish they would make rides more accessible to plus size folk
Did the smiler soundtrack get stuck in your head
It does
Love your video and the TV series. Question. Was Number 6's flat in the TV show real or a sound stage on the inside? I would love to know if it really exists on the inside and outside and if it's still left intact or not.
I think the exterior of No.6's flat is now the Gift shop. The inside may have been on a sound stage.
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
where is it located
Skegness MiniPort, Tower Esplanade, Skegness PE25 3HH
@@PlusParksandAttractions thanks mate gotta take the kids there
Mmm..do internet search: "prisoner+unmutual". This website is prob now the foremost re data on this hugely influential and mega cult late 1960s TV show. It also covers the free location tours (incl the 2 per year central London ones+ the occ Elstree + Borehamwood ones).The latter, just north of London and called the UKs Hollywood, was where most of the series was filmed. The NW Wales village of Portmeirion was actually only used in just 2 "shoots". BCNU..
Is the hotel near a village, pubs and restaurant or is it remote, thaks.
No it’s remote. It’s completely by itself along a dual carriageway
My father flew Halifax Mark 3 out of 10 Squadron Melbourne, right around the corner I believe
Halifax is most impressive. Must visit museum again.
Great video!
Thanks for watching
I like your shirts but struggle to find my size where do you get yours?
The music T-shirts are from EMP, most of my other clothes are from either Bad Rhino or Ambrose Wilson on-line.
Thanks for the tour! Looks like a good alternative to the on site resorts. 👍
It is!, Good value for money.
Did you manage to fit in crush’s coaster? I’m going next month
Hi thanks for watching. We didn't try, the queues were long and the seats looked similar to those on Spin ball whizzer at Alton Towers. At a guess, anyone over a size 48 chest probably wont fit.
Sapete dirci qual'è il miglior modo per raggiungere il villaggio da Liverpool senza auto?
Thanks for watching. You can take a train from Liverpool to Portmeirion via Chester, Llandudno Junction, and Blaenau Ffestiniog in around 6h 2m. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Liverpool One to Portmeirion via Chester Bus Interchange, Corwen Car Park, and Dolgellau, Sgwâr Eldon Square 1 in around 7h 8m.
I have a question: Can anyone tell me the best way to get to the village from Liverpool without a car?
You can take a train from Liverpool to Portmeirion via Chester, Llandudno Junction, and Blaenau Ffestiniog in around 6h 2m. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Liverpool One to Portmeirion via Chester Bus Interchange, Corwen Car Park, and Dolgellau, Sgwâr Eldon Square 1 in around 7h 8m.
Was your partner able to go in blade? Im just asking as im a similar size being a 24-26 and im going tomorrow and really nervous
How did it go?
Yes, she is bigger and still fit on blade
Hi, hope you dont mind ke asking but how did you get on going last year? Im going tomorrow (uk 20-22) and havent been for a year so bit worried about fitting!
This is such a helpful video. Thank you!
Glad you found it useful. thanks for watching
Do you know if they sell dvd sets of Gentleman Jack at Shibden Hall? Would be something I would think could sell like hotcakes..
Yes, I think so. They have a small gift shop within the grounds
Were you allowed on?
Thanks for watching. I didn't try. On the day i tried the tester seat the SAW ride was down all day.
I went to Alton towers today and was very worried about not fitting, due to my size the first ride I went on was oblivion I sat in a seat with the double buckles without realising it wouldn’t close, my heart sank but then they moved me to the one across with the single buckle and I fitted perfectly fine which had me confused because from what I had learned the double buckle was for the larger guest but I couldn’t fit in the larger seat but fitted perfectly fine in the smaller seat
Thanks for watching, and sharing your experience.
I had a similar experience on Baron at efteling - Although im not that big (6’0, 95kg) - While i managed to get both the double and single belts to close relatively easily i managed to get the single belt down by another click which made no sense to me as the double belts are designed for bigger people
I am slightly bigger than you based on the measurements you gave, do you have a list of what rides you are able to ride as I'm taking my kids in the Summer and just want to know what rides I can ride with them (I already know I can't ride any over shoulder harness rides). Thank you for this video.
At Alon Towers I'm able to fit on Hex, Blade, The Curse at Alton Manor, (The Alton Towers Dungeon), Gangsta Granny, Royal Carousel, Congo River Rapids, Heave Ho, Marauder's Mayhem, Battle Galleons, In The Night Garden, Postman Pat, Get Set Go Tree Top Adventure and the Skyride
I was in York in 2013. I really wish I knew about this ahead of time. I hope to return one day.
Glad you liked the video. We love to visit Peasholm park whenever we are in Scarborough
I'm really happy to see the issue of plus-sized friendly theme parks being discussed so openly. There was one time I wasn't able to ride Colossus at Thorpe Park and it was really embarrassing. It sort of put me off going back to theme parks but this video makes me want to give them another go 😊🙌
Thanks for watching and getting in touch, it really helps.
Is this a comfort extra wide caravan?
Yes - thanks for watching the video
Thank you for doing this video, going to Legoland California and was wondering if I was even able to fit in the rides being a plus size 😊 excited to go nonetheless
Glad I could help!
What were your experiences at Legoland California? I'm taking my son next week. I'm about the same size as the man in this video.
