July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 3

[jlawall]

Thanks JoAnn--very interesting! I can't imagine taking time to write while you are on the cruise, but it is nice to have the information...hope we don't have any of those winds!!

I agree, but overall, I think that this past week's cruisers had the best weather so far!

These took me WEEKS to make. I made collages of lots of our Disney trips and experiences from over the years, DL, WDW, previous DCL.

What an amazing job!!!!!

One of the best I've seen- I am going to make a scaled down version for my scrapbook!! Thanks for the wonderful idea!!!

Hey - just a note - for those of us going on to Paris, I bought our party of 6 a group Museum pass in order to cut down on some line time. Iwas just going to wait until I got there but decided to order them and have them shipped instead of picking up at the HRC in Paris. YUP - HRC in Paris - if anyone wants to know the address - I can get it - its linked up to the website for Paris Museum Pass. They should be here in CA before the 15th of July. You must have at least 10 working days before you need to allow for shipping. Also, be aware - I think Bastille Day is July 14th - is that a National Holiday over there? Anyone know? I know on our end - we have July 4th coming up.

The passes are good for consecutive days only in increments of 2,4 or 6 but I got 4 days. This allows free passage on the River Seine cruise which I wanted to take in on the night we got there - the guide books all say to take a night river cruise.

It allows entry into over 60 museums including the Louvre and several others. Figured one less line to stand in is great for us!

Hi Laura we are spending one night in Paris three days before our cruise-I would love the address, the cruise seems great although we may sleep through it with jet lag and all!!! Thanks!!!!

Or just a lame desperate attempt at nothing???

Lame, no; desperate, maybe - just kidding - we all do desperate things to get a

Been away all day and 10 pages of ketchup.

ON another note - I've been trying to download books all day and some of the newer books are not coming up in iTunes. Which simply means that for someone like me who is a bit anal and has to have all the informations which NO ONE will ever see correct- I have to correct or add info on 10 cds - I'm on 50 of CD 2 and have been at it for 6 hrs!

Why of why couldn't I just leave well enough alone?

Its too late - now I started and I have to finish!

Why are you using CDs if doing it on iTunes? I don't understand - although my husband and kids are the iTunes gurus in our house.

Congrats Harole Ann. Won fair and square~

Bridegirl, what awesome pics. Thanks for posting!

See you at 12 Sallie. Can't wait!!!!

Does anyone know where we could see pictures of the private dining room at Palo and/or could someone describe it (ie are there windows, is it one long table one round table or several smaller tables, is it stuffy and crowded? do you feel claustrophobic?

Please let me know,
THAnks,
Sandra

We ate in the private dining room with AnnaS on our 2005 West Coast cruise. It was wonderful. It's a good size room with a beautiful view of the water. I have some pictures. I'll dig them out and try and post them later.

Mrs. J - I wrote you back - check your email.

And THANKS to everyone for the kind words about my door signs! We actually got a call from the cruise director saying we had the best signs on that cruise.

I made a big mickey photo collage for our door, my sisters door, my moms door, and then I made the CM appreciation one for my grandmas door cuz I didnt have alot if Disney pictures of her.

My sister and mom both took theirs home after and framed then and put them up in their houses.

I have to take the kids to Utah tomorrow for a few days - I wish I could skip and just get ready for Europe! But I think it will be beautiful - Deer Valley for Fourth of July.

Kidc - I went to Bozeman Montana twice last year! Well, a place close to their, called Mountain Sky - sooooooo beautiful!

I think I asked this before but I never saw an answer - are any of you doing this in Barcelona?

We are scheduled for july 26 at 5pm.

 

[bridegirl]

We are booking this for the morning of July 27, and we have to book for 15 to get a private group - which means we will have some open spaces, probably 4 extra spots.

If anyone else wants to join for our private tour, send me a PM. We are doing the "be a pastry chef" for a day, where the little kids make their own chocolate figures.

If anyone else is in our same situation, with an early flight home on the 8th, (we are on Delta at 10am), our TA informed us that we should have no trouble making it on time. They said they have a plan for early departures, involving skipping breakfast and getting right off the boat. Let's see if our luggage makes it!

 

[bridegirl]

Now as I'm chatting away, talking to myself again, I realize...we are not very far from a you-know-what

 

[bridegirl]

Is somebody still updating the excursions list?

We have changed almost all of ours. Because we have so many little kids, we have changed almost everything to private tours or shorter excursions.

 

[bridegirl]

I think you may have already chosen a place and time, but we could meet up after our segway tour - about 7pm on the night of the 26th.

 

[bridegirl]

How is it where you live?
