Oooh Small World - look how close you are to the big 10-K!!!!

Yes I know - Im wondering if I might hit it this weekend - even DD is waiting for the dance when I hit it.

I might even persuade Rob to resurrect the hamsters for me

Afternoon all,
I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing Sunday. I have just been packing my bags ready for my 3 days away with 27 kids aged 9 - 11 tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fun though!

I have just been reading on the other boards about the WDW monorail crash that happened in the early hours of this morning, the driver of one of the monorails was killed. The scene looks awful.

 

[A Small World]

I know its awful- however its fortunate there were so few people aboard as they are usually packed so it could have been so much worse especially if a family had been riding up front with the driver

 

[Dianetigger]

Can I just quickly ask which private shuttle service RS transports or BS Transports? I'm confused!!! Do you pay upfront or when? Can you tell I'm trying to finally sort out our transport from CDG to Disney and back!!

 

[A Small World]

i think they are the same company Diane -

I think we have usually booked with BS

You pay half the cost when they drop you at your hotel and half when they take you back to the airport

 

[Dianetigger]

Thank you Small World you are a star!! I think RS Transports webpage looks easier to navigate, I'll go and give it a try now. Can you pay via credit card or is it just cash?
Thank you!
Next thing is getting to Manchester Airport from home, looking at long stay prices v taxi!

 

[Dianetigger]

Okay (sorry) one more question, shared or not shared, difference of 22 euros but there are 4 of us with 4 suitcases so which would be best?

 

[A Small World]

You can pay by credit card but have to pay it upfront so we have always paid by cash.

We have had some good deals for parking at manchester airport recently by booking on their website - valet parking has been more or less the same price as normal parking.

If you are really struggling let us know as Im sure DH will play taxi driver for you

What date do you go?

 

[A Small World]

we've always gone for private as opposed to shared but i know some people have booked shared (and paid for shared) and ended up with a private shuttle

 

[Dianetigger]

Thank you once again Small World, I think we'll go for private least that way we wouldn't be hanging around for another flight to get in I guess.
We leave on July 22nd at the lovely hour of 4:15am - flight leaves at 6:40am, I would not ask anyone to transport us at that time of the morning LOls.
At the moment I've got two prices from Manchester Airport, £60 for long stay with bus shuttle from the car park and £86 for valet parking for 10 days. Will see what the local taxi firms say first.

If I get time then YES!! I've never done a pre-trippie before! Only thing now left to book is tickets for the Louvre, got to decide what day we want to head into Paris.
Small World, I'll be picking your brain again for what line and where to get off for the Louvre or the batobus!!! Hope you don't mind!!

 

[Dianetigger]

Great news, I have PM'ed you

Oooh, will go and have a read - thank you!

 

[tennisfan]

Has anyone been watching the tennis? Its been yet another epic final. So pleased for Roger but feel for Roddick too

 

[Dianetigger]

My three have been watching it, DS going for Roger and the two girls for Andy Roddick - things were getting very heated in the lounge at one point!
