Thanks, Karin! I love the photos. Nic and I are so there!!!!!!!!!

And Nic, please send us some of the warm weather you are having. It's 50 and cloudy here and the poor little ones are going to freeze their little butts off trick or treating later this afternoon.

Karin, have a blast tonight. Can't wait for pics and reviews!

Those martinis look so good! I wanted to do the tasting so bad, but didn't want to go alone. DH doesn't drink, so I had no one to go with.

Can I come on the cruise and to Disneyland Paris too???
Can I? Can I? Can I?????
(Oh wait, my kids are saying that about eating Halloween candy )
Seriously though, I'm hijacking your VACATIONS, not just your threads

 

[onelilspark]

I think I would be under the table with that many martinis

 

[dizneeat]

Oh dear Lord in Martini Heaven....how do I love thee!

That looks insanely fantasticly wonderful scumptious! I would down all the glasses and hold them out and say

"May I have some more please sir?"

You think they would give a cute gal refills??

Do they have mojito and margarita and colada tastings too? Ooh what about boozy coffee drinks? You KNOW Kathy and I would be all over that too...

Food? Who needs food when you have alcohol!

Yes, those Martinis do get you in a very good mood!

Fish-extenders are little pockets you hang from the fish outside your stateroom door. If you sign up for a FE group - it works like a secret Santa! The people who sign up for it leave little presents in the FE - about every time we got back to our stateroom there was another goody in the bag!

Here's a photo of the FE I made for our cruise!

Those martinis look so good! I wanted to do the tasting so bad, but didn't want to go alone. DH doesn't drink, so I had no one to go with.

Next time - go to the Martini tasting alone. Even though we were seated at small individual tables, they were pushed together and everyone was talking to everyone. It was SO much fun!! We hope to do the wine tasting next time and we definitely are going to do the Martini tasting again!

I think I would be under the table with that many martinis

It will definitely get you into "a good mood"! We had a fun time for the rest of the evening!

So, I am your worst enemy ..........

Well, I want you to have the very BEST in life - so what the heck, go on that cruise, go to DLRP and throw in a visit to DL - it is just beautiful there and it is where Walt walked!

And what Tower thing are you referring to? The "Tour Eiffel" - Eiffeltower? Well, there is an elevator going up - doesn't drop you, !
Or is it MY new Tower at the Walt Disney Studios? The Tower of TERROR?? Nice hotel - faulty elevator though - drops you every time!

Thanks, Karin! I love the photos. Nic and I are so there!!!!!!!!!

And Nic, please send us some of the warm weather you are having. It's 50 and cloudy here and the poor little ones are going to freeze their little butts off trick or treating later this afternoon.

Karin, have a blast tonight. Can't wait for pics and reviews!

It was a fun time at DLRP - even more fun when I found out that they had a special promotion which gave us an additional 10% off of our 20% AP discount! Don't you love Christmas Shopping when they take a third of the bill off?

Can I come on the cruise and to Disneyland Paris too???
Can I? Can I? Can I?????
(Oh wait, my kids are saying that about eating Halloween candy )

Sure you can come - and you are very welcome to come along on our vacations,

We are officially back from our DLRP weekend and I just wanted to give you all a little "report inside the report"

So here is a little info, lots of DLRP (and French) foor and some park impressions!

Let's go!

Our snack on the first leg of the trip - it's a 50 minute flight from Linz to Frankfurt and YES, they DO cater on such short flights!
Here we got drinks - Tom had coffee and I had Diet Coke and some chocolate filled cookies

Since we had skipped lunch we bought wraps in Frankfurt. We shared them - so here is the first one - an Antipasti wrap - yummo!

The other one was a Thai Chicken Wrap - very nice and spicy too.

On the second leg of our journey we had a cheese sandwich. It has herb cream cheese, radishes and a slice of "hard" cheese in it. It was really nice. We both had Coke with it.

Once we arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport Tom went to pick up the car and I waited for our luggage - we got lucky, our suitcase was the first one to be delivered and we were on our way in no time.
The drive to the Kyriad Hotel (a good neighbourhood hotel) is about an hour and was uneventful. We stopped at the gas station and picked up some drinks and chips and then checked into the hotel. We had sandwiches we had brought from home, some Coke and chips and then we went to bed.

The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel buffet (included in the stay).

This is what they offer - here is my plate, baguette, ham, cheese, hard boiled egg and a chocolate croissant. Pretty standard fare.

Apple sauce they serve - home made - YUMMY!!

Tom had the fresh fruit salad.

His baguette and chocolate croissant

Ham, cheese and eggs

Orange juice

Coffee and hot chocolate

Decorations outside the Disney Store in the Disney Village.

Some of the decorations in Halloweenland - or otherwise known as Frontierland

Blue Lagoon

Mr. Toad's Restaurant - the menus are posted outside the restaurants

Part 2

It's a small world after all ............. isn't it?

Britain

Italy (Hi Nicki!)

and the USA

And more menus!

These are from Au Chalet de Marionette

We had lunch at Toad Hall Restaurant

We both had the Simple Fish and Chips. Deep fried filets of fish and English chips.

It's served on Disney "newspaper".

Even the plates are cute.

Diet Cokes

And here are some Park impressions:

Dumbo

View of the castle from Cindy's Restaurant (Le Auberge de Cendrillon)

Inside the SnowWhite Store

And another view of the castle

And more Halloween decorations

Care for more menus?

They are from the Cowboy Cookout Barbeque

 

[MickeyNicki]

I bow to you, her majesty! Your pictures are incredible! Cannot wait to see more and I love the menus!

 

[KatMark]

I want to eat at Toad Hall Restaurant! Too cute.

 

[DaveInTN]

Hey, the muffins at the bottom of that menu board make a Hidden Mickey!

Thanks for explaining the fish extender. You made yours??? It is soooo cute!!!!

 

[dizneeat]

Oh, my!! Those words of praise from the godess of food reviews! I feel honoured!!!

I want to eat at Toad Hall Restaurant! Too cute.

It's a cute restaurant! And they serve food that is a little different to the usual burger and pizza, even though they have gone back to the cute Mickey shaped pizzas and burgers!

Hey, the muffins at the bottom of that menu board make a Hidden Mickey!

Well spotted!

Thanks for explaining the fish extender. You made yours??? It is soooo cute!!!!

Yes, I made our FE! I even made one for our friends, who sailed with us. I only have a photo of it before it was finished, but you can get an idea of what it looked like. Joe loves Jasmine, so Tom photoshopped a photo and Mary Ellen LOVES Jamie from Off Kilter and we happend to have their photo.
All that is missing is the red border around it!

Paris Part 3

In Paris they are all about the Pumpkinmen - so here is a chart on their evolution!

Baby Pumpkinmen

Kiddy Pumpkinmen

Disneyland Hotel at the entrance to the Park

Giant Mickey and Minnie Snowglobes at the entrance to one of the stores at the Walt Disney Studios

Mickey has now joined the cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show

We then went offsite to pick up a few goodies for dinner before we went to the party.

Look, what Tom found in the food isles!

Anyone in for a Mickey burger?

We had dinner in our hotel room while resting before the party. So here is what we had.
Ham, cured ham, Camembert, tomatoes and Boursin cheese

Ham and cured ham

Tomatoes and Boursin Cheese

Yummy Camembert

From a small country boulangerie/patisserie we picked up these goodies.

The BEST baguette ever!! It is crusty on the outside and so soft on the inside - heavenly!

Quiche Lorraine (from the bakery) - delish! We had another chicken and leek one, but it was "inhaled" before I thought about taking a photo!

Eclairs - one chocolate and one coffee - yummo!!

Tom had an almond croissant with lots of rose water! So good!

 

[MickeyNicki]

I could live on that meal and be happy every day of my life! Ham, cheese and good french bread...oh my goodness!
