What's one place you have been to which you would never go back to?

[tvguy]

can I ask why?

Just what @Pea-n-Me said. We had a good time, but we didn't like how much time we need to get around from hotels to parks and parks to parks. And we really didn't like the fact that WDW parks open later and close earlier than DL. Felt like we got less for our money. And we were startled that a theme park that has been open nearly 50 years in an area where it rains a lot wasn't better prepared for rain. So many things closed when it rained, when a simple roof extension would have allowed them to stay open. But to be honest, it was an absolute downpour, not a sprinkle.

I've always heard that the French locals are rude to visitors (sorry if there is anyone from France on here), so I'm wondering if that's their reason for not wanting to go back.

People go to Paris and say the French are rude ....have these people ever gone to NYC??? First -It's a big city, people are busy and generally don't have time for tourists. Second -do these people make any attempt to speak the local language? That is a golden rule for Americans visiting Europe ...learn at least SOME of the language! I spoke enough French to get by and found everyone very helpful and pleasant(if not a little reserved). I found the people in the countryside much more welcoming and open even though they knew less English ...but we made it work together and had some laughs. Go with the right attitude....

We had a fine time in France. The only 'bad' encounter I remember was stopping in at a restaurant around 10pm and asking if we could be seated just to have coffee and dessert. You would've thought we asked for their first born.

The response was, "No. Never!!!" And eye daggers that we could even ask such a thing lol.

An Espresso maybe!

So am I, but I like Disney World too.

If we're adding restaurants, then Cracker Barrel, 5 Guys, In and Out, P. F. Chang's....I could go on and on for those

It's amazing that you just listed all my favorite guilty pleasure restaurants to head for.

A few years a go I spent 5 days in Paris and had a great time. I knew only a few French words... Hello, Thank you, where is the restroom and how much is that. I never felt anyone was condescending or didn't try to communicate as long as I knew a few basic words. I avoided the words that would have gotten my face slapped.

I have found the people in NYC t be very kind and helpful.

I can't think of any place I've been that I wouldn't want to go back to.

Also, I've been to France several times and I think the people there are not in the least bit rude, they just aren't as effusively friendly as Americans tend to be. They're very kind and helpful when help is needed.

I feel the same way about New Yorkers. My teen son and I were in NYC a few weeks ago and were completely lost in the bus station, and it must have been very obvious. Two separate people stepped in and offered unsolicited help, and the bus station employees were very kind and helpful and got us steered in the right direction. They didn't even make us feel stupid, and believe me, we would have deserved it!

I think most people are nice just about everywhere, and most places are pretty nice in their own way.

I don't have an issue with NYC, but let's face it, New Yorker's have a "reputation" whether it's true or not -like Paris.

Cincinnati

haha me too. The only place I could think of was Cincinnati, every other place I've enjoyed visiting.

Cincinnati felt like the Twilight Zone and not in a good way. Was a long time ago, early 90s. Might be different now? Hope so lol.
