I can't believe I actually clicked and did more research on our beloved TP! I think if DCL reads this thread we will all be banned- or we will all be in charge of bathroom duty!!!!!!

Wont have time for books except guide books 7 ports of call and the three sea days but be total ''REST''.

dont forget helping Jimmy bail me out of jail for indecent exposure in the fountains every now and then- that will take time Andrew! Please tell Mrs. Porter that Carley is a very sweet and kind child- I hope she won't mind watching her while you guys bail me out!!!!

OK

so

1. Sicily DCL tour break pm
2. Naples, long day,
3. Oblia DCL half day tour,
4. Rome the biggie, Sleep Kicking in.
5. Sea day, Lay in,
6. La Spezia long day,
7. Marseille I tour by myself Sallie has a sleep we go to the beach.

Mary Jo I have to try to cut and paste a propeller beanie hat on the TP Mummy!!!!!!!

SALLIE SALLIE SALLIE

I was a DL yesterday - guess what? They have a Mickey beanie propeller hat. I was SOOOOOO tempted to buy it for you - but was considering the weight limit and then if you did wear it - that the propellers might lift you off the ground! I wouldn't want to be responsible for a flying Sallie! So I didn't get it - but if you really want it.........I can be persuaded to go back and get it.

OBTW, if anyone is interested - the Nemo line was only 4 hrs long yesterday, Friday. We didn't do it but on Monday - opening night for public - it stretched from where the Subs are all the way back to ToonTown! otherwise that day the wait was 6 hr long!

OK - got a PM from a cruise in regards to flights and some common sense type of answers. I will post later as the DH and DD are really getting at me - be back on later tonight - lots of grad parties this weekend are interfering with my DIS time.

You will be most welcome, I will need to confirm with the people, Dream tours have been on cruise crtic and with them I have adapted their tour to be more kid freindly with a beach stop, DCL does go there and we can watch from a beach cafe!

But we will also see Provence!!

As you can see from the quoted list whilst its a little endurance test, but there is rest time, ( to catch up).

I hope to be in DL CL next August, was looking through my booking options today.

Andrew- it's Jimmy.... Did you notice my receding hairline? I had a full head of hair before I married Sallie.... I don't think you have anything to worry about- you will only be with her for 11 straight days, but ,just as precaution- I can give you the names of some products that will help stop hair loss if you notice anything by the third day. Unfortunately- they didn't work for me.

The tag fairy's first visit- Thanks! I love it!​

Nice to 'post' with you, and looking forward to meeting you both at dinner and on the trips, actually you sound great people and I am really looking forward to our limited time together.

Yes she is a bit mad, but thats personality! You have a good one there! and a nice DD Carley.

As long as she doesnt Flash at the pope, and get us into Trouble!!
I have most of my hair, but it has been going slightly back so i do not wish to loose anymore.

See you very soon, its going to be great, we direct our tours!

Andrew.

He didn't tell me anything I didn't know, A history teacher with a fixation for toilet rolls and flashing at the pope.

Yes- I am really looking forward to it, she is having such a great time here and I can see why- we are a fun loving family- We should have a great time together-
She is a funny, happy, and all around great wife, although I know I will live to regret this statement!

Thats worth another 'ring' in female terms!!

They are all a great bunch. Looking forward to it.

I'm sneaking in here - LOL - I left the computer on while "I'm getting ready." (Am I that bad? )

Anyway, today is also Harry Potter day at DL so I'm sure that DD20 will go there after work ends at 4 pm just to check it out. If not - then I was planning on going sometime next week for a quick in and out. I saw this great Evil Queen shirt I wanted but didn't get - the price tag put me off but I woke up thinking about it today so I must go back and get it!

Gosh - I'm bad aren't I? Actually I prefer Jessica Rabbit's tag - I'm just drawn that way!

Truth be told - I was sooooo tempted to buy it but Megan said - MOM - YOU'D BETTER NOT! You'd swear by the way she said it that I was an embarrassment to her!

I herd Uinversals islands of adventure is going to have Harry Potter land.

THE SUN today.


MICKEY Mouse is making waves in the Med this summer, with Disney Cruise Line’s first visit to Europe.

The spectacular ship – even the horns play “When you wish upon a star” – is sailing 12-night cruises from Barcelona around Italy and the Riviera.

Nearly all the passengers are Americans, mostly visiting Europe for the first time. They feel at home – onboard, everything is so American it’s like being at Disneyland.

So it’s a surprise to find a British woman in charge of the entertainment. Cruise director Rachel Quinn, 39, from Doncaster, is responsible for the shows, the shore excursions … and the frequent appearances of Mickey around the ship.

Of the 2,600 passengers, more than 900 are children. As you would expect from Disney, the kids’ facilities are outstanding. One of the ship’s two funnels is a dummy, concealing a hangout for teenagers, and there is a whole deck devoted to youngsters.

A huge outdoor screen was showing Pirates Of The Caribbean III – At World’s End, and stage shows in the 1,000-seat Walt Disney Theatre are as elaborate as anything in the West End or Broadway.

There are child-free areas, including one of the pools and several bars. But even for grown-ups, there’s still something special about meeting characters like Captain Hook and Mickey.

Disney Magic rejoins her sister ship DISNEY WONDER in the Caribbean at the end of the summer.

Two new ships are being built, and Disney are still deciding whether to return to the Mediterranean.
