7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 5

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Also for Rome they did an open seating kind of thing even in the main dining rooms. We got back about 20 minutes after early seating for dinner had started and they asked us if we wanted to just head on into the dining room we were scheduled for in our shorts even though we normally had late dinner. They were just seating people as they came in the general area of their servers and the servers did a nice job of catching their people and taking care of them. They very well might do that type of thing for Berlin and St. Petes.

Interesting, at Rome on our Med cruise they had 7pm and 9pm dinner, they did accomodate people up to 7.30pm on main, still they had a long queue for late at 9pm.

Actually, I'm quite relieved this is slower than the PC - I can at least keep up which I wouldn't be able to do with my current workload in we moved at that pace. I also feel (rightly or wrongly), I've got to "know" more people - there were so many on the PC I struggled!

Spent a bit of time planning over the week-end have a couple of questions:
1) Do DCL St P tours include the photo pass to take pictures at the the attractions?

2) Does anyone fancy joining us on the cycle/walk in Tallinn? I'm looking at www.cityboke.ee which is uncannily similar to the DCL trip without the age restriction

Do agree, its nice for a thread to go at an even pace, soe like the PC repo go silly and I gave up following it, so you missed '' interesting '' posts.

Never liked pirate posts due ot that, as unless you are there at the time you have a lot of nothing to read through...

Tallin I am either after the TRAM or the Tallin and Concert and meal.

We were on your Med Cruise

I just knew that we got back at about 7:25 and had late dinner seating but they asked us if we would mind going on into our scheduled dining room so that there would be more room for those coming in later. Hopefully they will do something similar.

I see, maybe for the people staying in Warmunde, going to Rostock etc, they will offer an early dinner to try to free up space for late.

We got back very quickly from Rome on our private tour, so was in on time,

I would guess that the photo pass in St P is extra on the DCL tours as well Not everyone takes pics so I imagine you would get people complaining if they were paying for it and not using it

Now is that fee for photos inside the buildings in St P per camera per person? What would happen if one person had 2 cameras? They would be charged for both right?

As for Tallinn..I promised my kids the segway. I haven't heard back yet from the company though so not sure if I can book that in advance or not. I figure after the long drive for Berlin I kind of owe them something they want.

Laurie, did the mention ages on the segway? I suppose 8 would be to young, but they would probably do a lot better then me!

I think under 12 needed permission from their parents or had to have their parents along

It is much easier than it looks

When we did them in Nassau they pulled the grandma from our group to "train" first. Watching her master it in a few minutes gave us all hope Gotta post the video my DH took. The look on his face is priceless

My DH is worried that the kids will focus too much on the segways and not enough on Tallinn...but the tour is 2 hours so plenty of time to get some serious site-seeing in.

That's what I would worry about too. Chasing them down as they go off on their own adventures. They would probably have the the tour guide headed right to a bar!!

GOOD MORNING!!!!! ​

 

[poohmomof5]

Morning everyone!

We are due for over a foot of snow today and I am supposed to be on a flight first thing tomorrow to head to WDW!

Did I mention that I am terrified of flying and I almost got in my car and started driving to Florida last night so I wouldn't have fly! UGH! I am beyond scared!

BUT, aside from that, I can't wait to get away from the snow and cold!

LOL they will be racing those things around in a circle and won't want to get off even for a bar
They are alot of fun

I actually had my doc prescribe something for me as I get so nervous on planes. Doesn't take away the anxiety but makes me sleepy.

We're expecting more snow today too
The school is closed for the next 2 days...so far.

Hope WDW is lots of fun

Wow, we don't close school very much here. I bet your kids are really enjoying the unexpected time off!

I think my kids were really hoping for a snow day today, but no such luck...

 

[Celestine]

We've had more of the white stuff here over the past couple of days, but luckily none of it has settled - it's our half-term break next week, so I'm sure they'll be plenty of children hoping it does settle

So the other day my daughter is wearing a Disney shirt and someone asked her if she had been to Disney recently. Her reponse was not in a really really long time. We went last June for a week at the parks and a week cruise. I worry that she is getting spoiled on frequency of Disney trips since last June to this cruise will be the longest she has ever gone without doing a Disney vacation of some kind.

Granted that won't stop me from taking her on Disney trips

Good Morning All
Waiting for the white stuff​

Good morning!

Oh, and you can have the white stuff! I am supposed to be headed for the airport and my flight is canceled. I have no idea how I am going to get to Disney World.

They close schools in VA alot more often than we are used to (coming from NY). They have gotten better about snow removal though. Back in 1996 it took them several days to plow our neighborhood-this time they plowed right away and several times.

Yeah well "a really long time" can be very subjective
I would say the kids in general are pretty spoiled these days compared to when we were kids...but then so were we compared to our parents so I guess that is usually the way it works out.

So sorry. Hope you can reschedule. We are set to take off on Sat. am. Hopefully all will be cleared up and on schedule by then.

Here's my back yard an hour ago:

The fence is 6 feet tall. The snow is up over my shoulders now. At least it gave me time to finalize my wish list for our excursions!

At least it's pretty.
We got it bad too.
We'll be talking about this storm for years.

So what's on your wish list?
