May Med Magic - May 15 2010 - Meet thread - Part 2

To the right of the "Quote" button on each post is a button that looks like a piece of paper with "+ (quote sign and plus sign). Click on that button on each of the posts you want to reply to, then either hit "Quote" on one of those posts, or hit the "Post Reply" button. You'll get quotes for each post you mark. Put your comments after each tag. This works even across pages (if you want to quote one post on Page 2 & one on Page 3, it remembers them). I really like this feature. I'm not sure how long it's been there, I just noticed it a couple of weeks ago.

Sayhello

You're the master of the multi-quote post...I think I counted nine one time.

How are we going to get to 89 pages if you're being so efficient on your posts?

Jan (Ebony) - We're on the same BA flight from Heathrow to Barcelona! I read an article today that said the earliest strike date is now May 17. That'd affect our flight home but DH's response was "Could you really mind if we HAVE to spend a few extra days in Barcelona?"

 

[LDSsinglegirls]

FYI for anyone taking a train out of Estacio Franca heading to Paris. We are spending the day we get off the cruise in Barcelona for the day and then taking the overnight train to Paris! Good fun. Long story short, they do not have luggage lockers. There are lockers at the bus station though.

I'm on a roll tonight...

AlohaJoe, I have been looking into this adventure park. It's actually different than the one that you provided a link to a few posts back. Did you research this one at all? Pros? Cons? Is the Reves des Cimes better? Closer?

The only prices I see on that website look like multi-day deals. While you're here, would the girls or guys like lanyard name cards?

Ok, I'm thinking there will be 54 pages but I have to go with 56 because that is my number and I am not allowed to use any neighboring numbers.

Euro exchange is 1.272 here right now, looking to buy either Monday or Tuesday do you suppose Greece can maintain their financial problems till then for me ?

Sorry! I didn't mean to be a slacker!!!

I thought the LDSsinglegirls had disappeared! Do you have a link for the train?

This is the only train schedule site for Corsica I know of.

http://www.corsicabus.org/Train_services.html

The times in pink DF are the Sunday trains.

Looks like you would catch the number 5 train at 8:00. The closest city to Vero is Carbuccia. Arrives at 8:26. Then you would have to find a way to get to Vero. Return train is the number 6 and leaves Carbuccia at 12:44. That is the only train leaving Ajaccio in the morning. You could travel as far as Corte look around for an hour and come back.

It is possible I guess but what happens if you miss the one train returning?

The other Adventure park in Vizzavona I haven't looked at much because the train arrives at 9:08 and departs at 12:07. Since I was to nervous to depend on one train each direction I decided to rent car and go to the closer park.

Is anyone flying out of JFK on Delta Flight 94...May 12th, 5:35PM?

We finally finished our door magnets and stateroom Mickey Ears.

I think I will be pretty much worthless the next four days at work.

I confess I didn't find a daily cost for this one either. It looked like most of the quoted prices were for a week long experience. Did you get a price for a day?

OMG, I am *already* worthless at work, have been all week! I asked my boss to just shoot me already... I'm going to be SO GLAD to be gone. If I can just survive the packing & the flight!!!

Speaking of flights, is anyone on the Iberia flight out of JFK at 6pm on May 13?

Sayhello

I fumbled on the website for quite a while and ended up finding some information. There are 12 different courses and 4 different levels. The cost for a 4 hour adventure is 20 euro. I, like you, found the trains to be not so reliable. We would have to rent a car. The closer park might be the route we take.

Looks similar. The one in Vero has 13 courses and costs 20 euros for up to 4 hours. Groups of 6 or more get a 2 euro discount. Looks like less than $25 for 4 hours. The cruise ship excursions usually only stayed for 2 hours so not sure if people will be interested in a whole 4 hours.

I think this thread will get to 53 pages before we head off on our travels.

There will be with me lol!!
your suggestion of around 10 pm is good. I think the Promenade Lounge is a good place because there's more seating there than anywhere else.

Hi All its Me again!!!!! Its the middle of the night but just cant sleep (am watching to see who gets in goverment but really day dreaming about the cruise)
1. Can i ask yet more question!!!! We dont really want to take a buggy although will need one if / when we get off so i know they have a limited amount do you think they will be all gone as we will be one of the last to board (if we get there in time ahhhhhhhhh)
2.If we do get off at ports can we take there tales or should i bring our own!
3. Instead of a pillow case to ask the characters to sign could i bring a photo frame and where do i go to get that sorted!!
4. Does it show on our tickets when our dinner time is (i called iglu who said they dont know when it is but have sent disney an email to request early) Why is it everyone else knows!!!
5. Am thinking of booking teeth whitening treatment (brits arent renoned for great teeth lol) but dont want to decide on a time now as hate to book when doing something with my bubs!! soooo do you think i could book on board!
6. Have had another idea for my Fe gifts but not sure if its allowed... can i bring flower seeds or is that a food substance dont really no much about customs!!!!
7.My daughter wants to bring all (16) disney fancy dresses but really dont have the room do the have ones there for her to wear or hire!!

Jane, are the shampoo and conditioner good quality? I may forgo bringing my own and save the room. Anne

They are H20 products. I haven't used the shampoo and conditioner but I LOVE the rest of their stuff.

Jill

I really like them - i get quite greasy hair whihc means i wash my hair every day - I find they are one of the few that don't make it worse.

I also love the way the Shampoo and moisturiser smell, and for me its "DCL smell" hence why i'm using htese ones now - get me in the mood.

 

[HelenMartinez]

I say we will end of at 47 pages.

In 5 days our family (along with Travelbee) will be flying to London. It will be my family's first time there and we are just so excited. Any recommendations from the locals on must sees or dos? Any good places for the kids? Will only be there 2 days but looking forward to the visit.

Oh 1 more thing. I really enjoy Indian food and heard London has some of the best Indian restaurants. Any recommendations?

Thanks much

Answers to your Q's are in red Charlotte...

Can't answer this one sorry - I'd imagine you'd be ok. Call DCL and ask what they think.

2.If we do get off at ports can we take there tales or should i bring our own!

If you mean towels then you can take DCL towels - pick them up by the pool - just make sure you bring them back to the ship.

3. Instead of a pillow case to ask the characters to sign could i bring a photo frame and where do i go to get that sorted!!

They're happy to do that - take it to Guest Services. You need to put it in a bag with pens for the characters to use and most people put in a bag of candy for the characters to share. That's the real reason Mickey has a little bit of a pot belly

4. Does it show on our tickets when our dinner time is (i called iglu who said they dont know when it is but have sent disney an email to request early) Why is it everyone else knows!!!

It will show your dining rotation online if you log into your reservation on DCL site. It also says on your KTTW card you'll get when you check in at port. Times are 6pm for early seating 8.30pm for late. Your KTTW card will also show you whihc restaurant you are in each night (A= Animator's, P=Parrots Cay and L = Lumieres)

5. Am thinking of booking teeth whitening treatment (brits arent renoned for great teeth lol) but dont want to decide on a time now as hate to book when doing something with my bubs!! soooo do you think i could book on board!

Don't know if they do it - check out the Spa treatmets section on hte DCL website is my best advice - or maybe someone else knows.
6. Have had another idea for my Fe gifts but not sure if its allowed... can i bring flower seeds or is that a food substance dont really no much about customs!!!!

Seeds will be a big no no Customs for most cruisers going home will confiscate them and some penalties for bringing in fruit related items like seeds are pretty harsh (big $). I'm not sure you are supposed to take them into Spain either.

7.My daughter wants to bring all (16) disney fancy dresses but really dont have the room do the have ones there for her to wear or hire!!

AFAIK there's nowhere to hire the dresses. I think you can buy them but it sounds like you don't need any more if she already has 16

emmmmmmmmm thinks that it for a few hours lol !!!Thankyou in advance for your help
