Hi Everyone,
I've been a bit out of the loop on the boards as I've been busy visiting family in Texas before returning to Turkey in a couple of weeks.
But now it is time to gear up and I am very much looking forward to staying at the Dream Castle for the first time on the way back.
But I think this may be my last trip to DLRP at least for some time.
After seven very nice years in Turkey, I will be moving back to the States this summer. And so I will most likely take my Disney fun at WDW since it will be only a 2 hour flight.
(Trying really hard to resist booking AKL with my 40% off pin in May). I am happy about being so close to WDW but imagine I will miss DLRP as well. Can't have both being a hop, skip and a jump away now can we??
Oh well - so I will enjoy this my last DLRP trip for awhile. I am nervous about it being very cold.
I've been here in balmy Texas for three months (Texas - think Orlando - about the same climate) and may not have the proper clothes with me as I am trying to take as little as possible. So not sure how quickly I can adjust!
So here is the plan-
Flight - Houston to CDG - arriving early morning
TGV train to DLRP - around 10am
Check into Dream Castle if possible - if not leave luggage and head for the parks. Lunch at Agrabah if open!
3 nights at Dream Castle - VEA shuttle to Orly - afternoon flight to Ankara via Istanbul.

don't forget this last one!
- yes such a rarity down here in the awful HOT part of the State. Hope they enjoy it!! I think it might have been down to freezing once or twice this winter where I am - today the high is 58 - Saturday will be 70. I will be looking forward to a little winter when I get back to Turkey - we usually have snow in February and March for sure. Funny how you miss cold weather when you don't have much of it.
I think that would be perfect with the cold weather and since it will be my last stay for the foreseeable future! 
I had no problems proceeding through passport control, to baggage claim, finding the CDGVal shuttle to terminal 2 and then finding the train station where I was to claim the TGV ticket I purchased online. Now that is saying something. I hear CDG sometimes gets a bad rap - but I really loved this airport!
