Holiday HELL: Pourquoi, monsieur, why is there no merdique Wi-Fi here?

Flat_Steve

Had the same during a five-day jaunt to Disneyland Paris last week. I get that it's supposed to be about escaping your daily routine, but it is nice to occasionally check your email/facebook/twitter or whatever when you're in a two-hour queue for the Dumbo the flying elephant ride, and this kind of enforced behaviour grates. It felt very 20th-Century using payphones and internet kiosks (especially when both chewed through the Euro's like a particularly sad old dog), and at the prices Disney charge for even their cheapest rooms it does feel a bit like they are using the 'get away from it all' tagline as an excuse to be cheap.
