A SAUDI prince has spent 15 million euros ($A20.41 million) for three days of fun at Disneyland near Paris to celebrate his degree, the group that runs the theme park says.

Prince Fahd al-Saud booked entire areas of the park between May 22 and 24 for his 60-odd guests. The festivities included tailor-made events involving "rare Disney characters", Euro Disney said..

Special security was put in place for the prince, one of the park's top customers, it added.

The theme park attracted 16 million visitors last year but Euro Disney has not made any profits since it was set up 20 years ago.

In the six months to March, the group had a net loss of 89.1 million euros compared with a loss of 11.8 million euros in the same period last year.

All those hot, sticky afternoons and evenings you spent on the expressways stuck in a non-moving line of petrol beasts, and those other MORNINGs where you literally had to be drug out of bed by your wife or husband and pushed into said beast to AGAIN sit in a frigging line of MORE petrol beasts to get to a job you hate PAID FOR THIS.

He looks like the little prince who was burned in the Marathon bombing. Michelle visited him in the hospital and he was whisked out of the country - thanks to our president.

Yeah, Euro Disney makes no profits....just like Hollywood movies never make a profit. Creative accounting at its best, I’m sure.

“Don’t worry, Bull Dyke DHS head Napolitano and DHS Pride are all over this”

I guess the “H” in DHS really stands for Homoland.

Reminds me of something that happened to my daughter - she had seen some very expensive towels she wanted at Anthropologie - she saved her summer work salary and went to buy one set (just for display - too nice to "use" she said) for her new apartment.

A few weeks before they had a big display with 5 different colors in the style she wanted. When she returned they were ALL GONE....

the sales girl told her a Saudi prince came in and bought every single one... she said he was breezing through the store saying - " all of these.. and all of those.... Oh and I like that - all of those, too" - unbelievable!!

What a gawd-awful picture. I never saw a goofier bunch of clowns. Where did we get them? Can we send them back?

I rather mow my lawn followed by a cold beer than have to put up with all the obnoxious tourist at some tacky amusement park.

Clearly this is another rich moron who's totally clueless...

My guess is that daddy Saud would not pay for a proper party in Las Vegas and son had to manufacutre one in Euro Disney
