Coach Trips To DisneyLand Paris – Or How To Save Money And Make New Friends.

You will find Disneyland in Marne-la-Vallee on the Eastern outskirts of Paris. It’s not very far from the city center – only about 35km. During the early years of its existence, the resort struggled to draw the number of visitors initially projected. Since those days visitor numbers have steadily increased and right now it’s Europe’s top tourist attraction, with more visitors yearly than either the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower. There are multitudes of coach trips to DisneyLand Paris departing from London regularly, as well as from many destinations in Europe.

Why should you rather go on a coach trip than going to Disneyland on your own? One of the main reasons is that you will most likely save a lot of money in the process. If you add up the cost of transport, entrance fees, accommodation and hotel transfers chances are they will be much more than the cost of a package tour.

Transfers from your hotel to the park and back can cost a substantial amount depending on where you are staying. Most coach tours include these transfers in the tour price. It’s not only a cost-saver, but also highly convenient to know that you don’t have to hunt for transport to the resort and back every day.

Most of these coach tours also include the park’s entrance fees in their prices. This eliminates having to stand in queues in the morning to buy tickets. You can go straight in and start having fun with all the rides, shows and the wide variety of other entertainment options the resort offers.

Owning a Fifth Wheel is Better than Being a Third Wheel

Being called a third wheel isn’t generally a compliment. It usually means you aren’t wanted. But when you own a fifth wheel, everyone will want to be around you and travel with you. Fifth wheels are one of the roomiest RVs on the market with plenty of space and privacy for all.

The maximum number of slide-outs, five, can add an extra fifteen feet of space when parked. The ceilings on fifth wheels are known to be built higher than other models, for a spacious feel. There are a variety of amenities that come with the top-of-the line models, including custom cabinetry and detailing from bathroom sinks to shower tiles.

Fifth wheels are homes on wheels, measuring 21-40 feet long. Bring the pets, the kids, toys for all and home cooked food. Every type of travel suits a fifth wheel lifestyle from family outings, exploring America, Canada and Mexico, or piling in for the kid’s baseball game. With sleeping quarters for eight, everyone has their own space and can get a good night’s sleep.

Looking for a little space from grandma, or your uncle that snores? Set them up in the bedroom that stretches over the truck bed. Reasonably priced at $20,000, fifth wheels can top a million dollars depending on what types of amenities you like.

Next time you’re on the road and want to run to the grocery store, or want to take a backcountry road to the middle of nowhere, simply detach the fifth wheel and leave it at the campground. The versatility of fifth wheels is one of the reasons for their popularity.

Chiefs Beat Struggling Redskins

The offensively struggling Kansas City Chiefs have finally found a way to win-play a team with a more stagnant offense than their own. The Chiefs gave Todd Haley his first win as a NFL head coach on Sunday with a—6 win over the Washington Redskins. Kansas City won despite not scoring a touchdown, compiling their– points via 4 Ryan Succop field goals and a game ending safety. Kansas City is now 1-5 on the NFL season, while the Redskins slumped to 2-4.

To successfully bet on NFL football you occasionally have to put aside W/L records and look at the underlying statistics. Those who did that found reason to take Kansas City as +6’ road underdogs and were rewarded with the outright victory. Kansas City is now 2-4 against the NFL pointspread and has covered two straight while Washington is a dismal 1-5 versus the money.

After the contest, Haley sounded more relieved than excited about finally putting a ”W” on the board:

”We made it pretty difficult, right down to the end. We’ve pushed through a very difficult period. We needed to get some positive reinforcement with a win.”

Kansas City QB Matt Cassel also won for the first time since coming over from New England in the off season. His postgame comments were more upbeat:

”There’s been a lot of change, but this has definitely been special. We rose to the occasion. We made some big plays. We put ourselves in a position to score points.”
