[miss missy]

Alicia and I really wish we could go!

You never know! It could happen!

We've been a lot better with luggage since we've had our Owner's Locker. I big problem with this trip is I'm pretty sure they won't deliver our locker to California.....I guess we can ask.

Kevin, I bet DD and I can beat PW any day of the week for luggage loads...SW 2 bags FREE and a carry-on! We use it all

Just her loot needs a bag! I can't do one bag each.. I cant!

I am almost certain that she will not need the Viking hat with the horns.

Viking hat season doesnt start until June in California.

I'll marry Don if he has shopping $$$ for me too!

It doesn't start until June? Well, piffle. I love Viking hat season. What I really want to know is can you wear your Viking hat with white shoes?

Only between Leif Erickson's Birthday and The Pillage and Plunder Ball.

Ok....I just used ALL of my Viking references.

Hello friends -

I am lucky enough to be visiting Paris this week and am sitting here on a beautiful sunny morning enjoying lovely cool weather. This is a marked contrast to the last three days of rain and wind - who da thought that in June? It is cold enough for coats here this week, so my packing was pretty useless. Lucky enough you can get by in France in nothing but black for days on end!

I popped into the thread to see if my roomie has shown her hand yet..... hint, hint! and noticed a lot of fun going on. Someone will have to explain the multiple wives thing.... I hadn't planned on converting, but hey, I'll do what it takes to make this trip!

We will be going to Disneyland Paris tomorrow - woohoo! - meaning I will have managed to visit 3 Disney parks this year! now if I could only get to Asia.... It's my first visit, and I have shamefully managed to do almost no planning for it - yup, I'll be visiting like one of "those" people!

That's all for now - need to catch a train and visit some museums - hugs to all!

Lynne,

If you need help while in DLP, I think we can recommend someone (KK) to assist you. That person (KK) would be more then willing to help with luggage, assit with tour plans and be an all around good travel partner.

Just let us know and we'll get in contact with them (KK).

Have a great time in DLP.

Lynne: We went to DLP in '08 with ABD Knights and Lights.

Notes to ponder:

1: Line areas are DARK, much darker than we're used to (maybe cause they don't sue there, but anyway) Maybe use your cell phone as a light on rides like Pirates in the line areas.

2: Do the castle walkthrough. It's awesome! Go all the way up and out and you can get a very pretty view off Fantasyland from the turret. There's also a dragon in the bottem of the castle accessible from the outside, not the walkthrough area. It is VERY VERY dark to get in where the dragon is, but very cool. It moves around and breaths smoke and everything.

3: Space Mt. is fast, much faster than our antique ride, and also corkscrews at least once, maybe twice. I was in shock so don't remember.

4: Indiana Jones goes upside down, just so you know.

5: Backstage tram ride is just about the same except it has scenes from that movie with Christian Bale and the dragon in London. Can't remember the name of it right now. If you want to see blown up London, cool. If not, skip it.

6: Characters don't seem to have handlers or lines. They just throw the poor fuzzys out the gate or off the character train and they are mobbed like the Jonas Brothers. It's very hard to get any kind of good picture with your loved ones.

7: Haunted Mansion was closed for referb when we were there, so if you report back on what it's like, that would be great! You know, in your free time.

If you have any questions, I'll try to help you out! Have a super great trip!

That's OFFICIAL action Kevin. I didn't expect any of that. I was just talking about UNOFFICIAL action of the yackity yack variety.

Thanks for checking on us though, Kevin.

I know there are so many different threads I am having a hard time finding people that are on just to chat with.

 

[katscradle]

EEEWWW!!! I didn't think of baggage allowances!!! We are coming down for several days prior to the tour. I wonder if any of the dinners require "dressier" wear? Shipping home isn't an option for us as it costs a fortune and we would have to pay duty on it.

Same here! John and I always travel with 2 suitcases as that is what the airline allows.
I might have to wear the same clothes everyday.
Are there washers at the hotel.

 

[katscradle]

I wonder if the folks at ABD read this board.

We are bring "extra wives" and "flatties".

I'm really not sure they are ready for this group.......

Hey Kevin..
No they are not ready for us, and ABD will never be the same again..

 

[tmli]

Just dropping in to say hi, I know this thread will pick up as we get closer!!!! I am so busy planning already, even though there is basically nothing I can do yet.

 

[miss missy]

How's everyone today? Me.. tired and going to sleep. Long weekend so its all good
