Teenage Holiday, With friends, to disneyland?

Hiya Me and my friends have been discussing what we want to do when we leave high school, which will be next year, and all three of us want to go to college, but i was thinking, what should we do in our gap of the summer hols, before the college term will start? And i had an idea, Disneyland Paris. 2 of us have been before, I've been and one of my other friends have been with her dad (many times) and i was thinking, its perfect for a holiday, its enclosed, has on-site hotels and dosnt need us to drive around (at the time of this holiday, I, being the oldest, will be 16, thus too young to drive). And i'm not relying completely on my parents, me and my friends all have savings accounts, and we can dip into those for money.In england, GCSE "presents" are given often when the son/daughter does well in said exams, (which i have no doubt that i will, predicted A* for english, music, and r.e, the rest B's, C's, possibly a D for maths- not my strong point) which pretty much sets me for the trip, so its not like im relying completely on my parents, my friends included. I am 15 now, but at the time of the summer holidays, i will be 16, and a few weeks off being 17, my friends will have turned 16 before i have turned 17, our birthdays running in July, August and September. I am specifically asking parents here, but if anyone else wants to say what age they had a holiday with their friends, thats fine; would you, as a parent, let your child who is 15/16 go to France (i live in england) for a holiday? At disneyland, which is very kid friendly, and in the next country. thanks in advance for your answers x My friend takes GCSE French and me and my other friend both had compulsory French for 3 years, so we know the basics, but it is EuroDisney, so its not essential :)

1. Well I'm not a parent, but I think that if you are a reliable and trustable person, it would be fine. If you speak french, it would be even better, but I've been too disney land paris, and since there are so many tourists, it really doesn't matter.
2. I think a lot of it depends upon the "friends". You may be an 'A' student with strong academic interests, but are your friends? Obviously, the decision will be up to your parents. But I have found that teens sometimes have to make certain mistakes before they learn how to pick good friends. I hope that is not the case with you.
