Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Reposition!!! Taking the Magic Back to the Med 4/10/10

[mjwood77]

I haven't used my Spanish in about 10 years, so not sure about the translating. I can probably find the bathroom and library.

We will probably be up for activities. I tried to skim the 30+ pages here.

We love to dress up. Dan owns his own tux and I have several dresses that I love. I am excited about getting a pirate outfit. We might be overdressed (if there is such a thing). This is because I can't wear nice clothes to work as I work in manufacturing.

We live in the very exciting town of Pepperell, MA. I grew up in NH. Dan in DE. Pepperell has an airport that consists of a dirt strip for the skydivers (yikes), a covered bridge that is currently uncovered, and a defunct paper mill. We like that we can smell the cows.

We can too.. I live just west of Albany NY...

Add the bar and what else do we need???

Just pack pink for the Champagne girls and something for Edwardian Tea...


BTW... congrats on your 10 posts!!!

There I did it. Now I can post a picture.

Very nice!!! (I'll add you in with the other pics on page one...)

"Donde esta el bar?"
"Quiero una cerveza, por favor" or "Queiro un vaso de vino, por favor"
"Gracias"
"De nada"

That's about all you need.

Welcome! Have fun at DLP; I'd love to go there too but I'll be in school and really can't take more time. I've heard that their Haunted Mansion is a whole lot scarier than ours!

I don't think that Phantom Manor at DLP is any scarier than Haunted Mansion at WDW and DL, but it is definitely a better ride. It does follow more of a story and does not feel as disjointed as its American cousins.

Not to mention - the exterior is creepier looking at DLP than in CA or FL.

This year we'll have 50 days on Holland America. We've always wanted to do a Disney cruise. We like long cruises (10-15 days). We've also talked about doing transatlantic. Great price for inside GTY. So when this opportunity came up it was perfect.

We like long cruises too- the longer the better!

I grew up going to WDW every year. It's the one place my mother will travel. Senior year of college, 8 of us drove down and spent the week at WDW for spring break. What a trip.

Dan and I have been together 7 years. In that time we've visted WDW two times and Disneyland three times. Last year we went on a 15 day Hawaii cruise and Dan was more excited by the day at Disneyland. In fact he had a kidney stone that day in Tommorrowland. He says you haven't lived until you've passed a kidney stone in the happiest place on earth.

Well your DH and I share in that experience then. I passed a kidney stone in WDW during our 2007 trip. OWWWW! I think passing kidney stones is more painful than childbirth. Of course being in WDW makes it a little easier


I've been looking at options for our post-cruise stay, and we're leaning towards spending the week in England. The airfare from Barcelona to London is a lot less expensive than going from Barcelona to Paris, and getting a flight from London to NYC should be easy and not too expensive when we're ready to come home. DH promised that we'll go to France someday on another trip, because I still have a desire to see Paris so badly!

thanks, I love it when a picture (that I've set up turns out) most of them aren't by chance, you know what a control freak I am dontcha

I was looking for the one of him in the sombero, but didn't have my drive attached and it's not loaded on pb yet...I have a real looking one of him to make him really look like our translator.

and yes Willie is for sure hanging out with us. I'm actually a bit concerned that there aren't many boys on this trip his age

 

[Tink rules]

I'm sure he'll be fine... of course that means we will be spoiling him silly...

funny you say this. I mentioned to Paul that I might want to take our Wii with us so he can play it in our room while we are at sea and he totally didn't get it. The Wii on board is always being used in the clubs so he and Molly have never played on board. (and they have ~30 days on the Magic total so far) I think it's his vaca too, so if he likes to play Wii why not...we'll see it's a year from now....

Well, of course

I'm so glad we all see this the same way
