Dis Unplugged London / Paris / Disneyland Paris ABD Info **UPDATE 11/1/10**

[Chropistopy]

My suggestion for really good Europe guidebooks are any written by Rick Steves. I have used them in both London and Rome.

Thanks for the suggestion! I was actually just looking at those on Amazon.

I agree! I used Rick Steves' London and Rick Steves' Paris quite a bit on a trip in June. Before buying the 2010 editions, I would borrow them from the library and wait for the 2011 editions - which will probably come out in the fall.

I'll share with you how I'd speak French.

In musical form. I think this is silly and hysterical. Which means you'll probably think, "Lori is waaaaay stranger than we already knew!"

I've decided to stop on the way home to buy a couple of books on Paris and London...hopefully this will tide me over until more information is available on the actual trip. After I've actually booked, then I'll start the French lessons.

Christy, I am glad to see you are thinking about this trip too! I plan on checking out some books as well.

Sent email. This trip sounds fantastic Can't wait to hear more

Ok...I went a little overboard on the books. I bought a book on Paris and a book on London. I've ordered a Disneyland Paris book as well as two Passport to Europe DVDs. I've got to stop...this trip is costing me already and it has not even been booked.

Nicole - I'm glad you are considering the trip too. It will be great to meet new people but it is always good to see a familiar face too!

I think most people spend more money on travel books than the actual trip!

The DK Eyewitness guides are really great, they have loads of pictures and lots of good information. I have about 15, and luckily, there are only 2 that I bought that I didn't eventually get to - Alaska (2012) and Krakow (who knows?).

I'm pushing for information.

I'm told that Paris took August off for vacation which has delayed things.

As soon as I have information.....I'll spill my guts.

Didn't you know, August is French for National Month of Holiday.

I had a French co-worker call me last week looking for a report. It had gotten pushed to the bottom of the pile due to other priorities. Needless to say he was not happy and wanted to know why it was not done! After all, he was on holiday for three weeks in August and I had all that time to get it reviewed for him! If ever I wanted a WMD to shoot across the pond!

Kevin, take my advise, with the French you gotta push and hard and often.
